Does anyone Speak German?

[JohnnyB65]

Google translate is very bad about structure and all sorts of things. Many says in English don't exist in other languages, shut up in german and afrikaans is very different.

I see what you’re saying and I have the same problem in my own language with MS Word. LOL
Sometimes spellchecker/Grammar checker uses a spelling that is completely inappropriate for what I’m trying to say. I can’t think of an example at the moment, but I have been pretty embarrassed a few different times.

Doh! I somehow, skipped @Jabuticaba 's post. I'm guessing you probably already got the help you need. She's a nice lady, that one.

Yes She is ....and so many other folks on this forum .....
THANK YOU EVERYONE !!!!..........
The word or "wording" or shall I say ......what you would see most common (of course we need to go back 50 years)
for " Fire Truck" ....or more like " Fire Rescue" .......now I'm giving away a hint at the new Vw project.....

I have found this ......
Feuerwehrfahrzeug
Feuerlyschfahrzeug

or simply 'FEUER"

So the second word doesn't exist but the first is right. But we say "feuerwehrauto"
Do you have a car like this?!!

Im trying to learn German now...

I would have liked to study German, but I was put down by very many people who said: "It's an extremely difficult language, more difficult than anyone would expect....and so on. So I changed my mind.

i took german in high school i don't remember to much of it but i'm sure there is a app now, one of my spanish friends when he first moved to Oregon he had a app that he'd talk to on his cellphone and it'd translate it to english and vise versa

i do have another friend that went to college for Vw and only Vw i could probably talk to he's good he's got a nice 63-66 bug that he made into a dragster it's sweet

Dude! I took German all 4 years of high school lol
I was fluent when I graduated, haven't spoken a word of it since and now only remember catch phrases! What a waste...lol

It's too bad after all that effort to learn such a language isn't it? The thing is that if one doesn't practice the language, it is only normal that one will forget it...it's only a matter of time.

My brother took German and Latin classes in high school, because he wanted the extra credits but I don't think he can speak them fluently though

If he didn't practice the languages reading them out of books and memorizing meanings of words are not enough. I was obliged to learn Arabic because I live in Jordan and despite the fact that English is a second language here, maybe 5% or even less, of the people I met speak the language well! Notice I said "well" and not fluently. Know why? Simply because they learn it to sit for exams and there it ends.

Yes.
It was more of an 'obligated curiosity' than he wanted to actually learn them.
I understand. I don't think there would be very 'much' use, right?

Yes. When one learns a language only to sit an exam there would be NO use, I believe .
