German Language and Culture

Yes, German unification in 1871 under Prussian leadership played a role in further industrializing the country. This unification resulted in a larger market and the removal of trade barriers, which promoted industrial growth and modernization of infrastructure such as railways. The unified Germany soon became one of the leading industrial powers in Europe.

The Germanic tribe that conquered Rome in 476 AD was the Ostrogoths, led by their king, Odoacer. This event marked the end of the Western Roman Empire.

German is the most spoken language in Europe!

Germany is the most populated country in Europe!

It's the Principality of Liechtenstein or in short just Liechtenstein. It is a small state in between Switzerland and Austria and it is a constitutional monarchy.

Many German settlers in the United States opposed conscription during times of war because they had left Europe to escape political unrest and mandatory military service. They believed in the principle of voluntary enlistment and were wary of being forced to fight in conflicts they did not support.

If you can use phrases to help you to complete activities that you would normally do in English, then you would have a working knowledge. It is difficult to say exactly how many words you would need as there are over 600,000 words in German.

Consider the typical activities you do in a week. If you can conduct these activities only in German, then you should be alright.

most never wear dirndls.

The only place they are really worn is in Bavaria, but only occasionally. The other parts of Germany don't really ever wear dirndls or Lederhosen except for the Oktoberfest where everyone wears dirndls, but thats only once a year and not ALL germans go.

So its not like Germans wear dirndls/lederhosen when they go out or anything :)

Hope this helped

"Wie geht es dir?" is how you would say "How are you?" in German.

To add two dots on top of a letter in Microsoft Word 2010, you can use the shortcut keys "Ctrl+Shift+:" followed by the letter. This will create the letter with two dots, called a diaeresis or umlaut.

It depends on where in Germany: some sources report that in the southern part of the country, people tend to be more tan, while in the north people tend to be lighter skinned. But it should also be noted that Germany is gradually changing: while many Germans still share certain traits (such as blonde hair, blue eyes), the country is no longer monolithic. Many immigrants from all over the world have come to live and work there. Today, you might find some Germans who are darker-skinned, or who look Asian or Indian.

Dumm, pronounced DOOM

Not necessarily. Many Germans speak English as a second language and appreciate its importance. However, like in any country, there may be individuals who have negative feelings towards certain languages or cultures.

The name Alexander means "defender of the people" in German.

The Germans were the only country in the world to get out from under the depression. The German money was so inflated one day to the next something would double in price. When things are like that money is useless. So the Germans bartered with countries. They might trade machinery for oil. But when you use this method you bypass the banks and then they can't make money out of nothing.

But WW! was used to destroy Russia, because they kept out the bankers and they created their own banks. The bankers could not control RUssia. So they had to be destroyed.

In WWII they wanted to destroy Germany. So they started killing German nationals in the Danzig Corridor and so Germany attacked. When you think of Germany you think of quality and precision. Kind of hard to associate them with bad things.

Statistics like that were not measured in 1918, but it is likely that more than 20% of the U.S. population claimed some German ancestry.

Depending on the context, you could translate it as:

wenden

umwenden

sich umwenden

biegen

abbiegen

kehren

German immigrants introduced to America a variety of customs, foods, and traditions, such as Christmas trees, pretzels, hot dogs, beer brewing, and Oktoberfest celebrations. They also influenced American culture through their music, dance, and architectural styles.

it means Brutto it is a nother way of saying disgusting (i know it because i am german)

For me India is a big country with lot of potential, a big It sector and good food. Even if it's a little bit to sharp for me sometimes. I learned in school that the caste system is still very much used (that's why too less girls are in India) , that's one of the things I don't like. And it's kind of crowded, okay Germany is crowded too, but not that much. But therefore India has not a problem with too much old people as here. (demographic change). Also is India one of the country's which give much stability for this region.
