INTERESTING start to a week. Over the
weekend, I made mention to a pal that I am interested in learning German apart
from the other European language I have been working on for the last couple of
years.
Tonight, I got an invite from a polyglot from
another network – a native German - to follow her posts on Germany.
I accepted because it is interesting to note
how that linguist learns ... and the many interesting things she shares about
her country
Vell, it looks like I have to start working
on the language now.
Oh, “ja, das ist gut” is German for “yes, it
is good”.
Some of us have a good reason to learn German
because the northern part of the country where we originally hailed from (and
other northwestern part of the Pacific) was once under German rule – that was
before WWII.
Nauru was also under German rule like the
north part of New Guinea.
“Danke” which has become part of the languages
of Morobe (and elsewhere) is German for “thank you”.
A tutor once told us that German is much more
related to English than the other European languages (French, Spanish, Italian,
Portuguese, Latin, etc) which originated from the old Roman language.
