My task this week is to learn to love the umlaut…I’m too hung up on wondering if I’m saying umlaud or umlaut to move on too loving it….At this point I don’t really have any feelings for the umlaut…sort of like Jack the Ripper…I don’t even know who that is…

It was weird to me when I moved here that you could drink beer on the street or on a bus, train etc….but now it would be weird going to the states and not having the option…nice country you people have over there…:)

I was informed that it’s not Fressegasse it’s fressgasse….fress (= fressen = to eat/devour) and fresse (= ugly face) – apparently a big difference…
more:
‘fresse’ is just a vulgar expression for ‘unhandsome face’. great word: hackfresse.
I can’t wait to practice my german…
