I'm interested in foreign languages for two reasons: - It's simply useful to speak them, whether you want to read some software specification or ask for the way on Corsica. - I find them fascinating because they can be like puzzles. You put together sentences, take them apart and discover both patterns and parts you know from other languages. I learned english and french at school, kept a lot and would like to keep it in the future, too. Besides, le francais, c'est une langue très belle. ;-)

    "(für etwas) nicht belangt werden können" bedeutet, dass man keine Konsequenzen wegen einer Sache zu befürchten hat. Diese Formulierung wird ausschließlich im Zusammenhang mit der Justiz verwendet. In diesem Fall hat die Behinderung den 48-Jährigen davor bewahrt, in ein Gefängnis gesteckt zu werden, obwohl er Kinderpornos besitzt. Also: Behindert -> kann nicht Eingesperrt werden -> muss keine Strafe fürchten. ("kann nicht belangt werden")

    I can recommend most books by Andreas Eschbach, especially "Das Jesus Video", "Eine Billion Dollar" (=One Trillion Dollar!) and "Solar Station"

    So, in short: You could as well ask what's the largest existing number. In german you can create words as long as you want. If you don't want to talk about a steamboat but about its captain, you can call him the steamboatcaptain. And if you want to talk about that captain's hat, then it's the steamboatcaptainhat. Sounds strange in english, but it's perfectly correct in german. The difficulty with learning german is that, to understand those words, you have to know the words they consist of, otherwise you may get lost...

    Hm, das kann wohl am besten jemand beantworten, der beide Sprachen erst lernen musste. Falls du es mit beiden Sprachen versuchen willst ein Tipp: Auch wenn in Französisch und Deutsch alles ein eigenes Geschlecht hat (DAS Mädchen, DIE Blume, ...) hilft dir das nur wenig für die jeweils andere Sprache. Grob geschätzt die Hälfte aller Begriffe hat im Deutschen ein anderes Geschlecht als im Französischen, die andere Hälfte hat das selbe Geschlecht... The ideal person to answer this question would be someone who had to learn both languages. In case you want to try on both languages, remember the following: Although there is a special gender for each and every word in french and german, you'll have to learn it for each language separately. Roundabout half of all words in french have a different gender than in german, the other half has the same gender.

    Sure, for example "Kindergarten", or the expression "uber" like in "ubergeek" (german "über" = "over"). "Verboten" is a german word, too, meaning simply "forbidden".

    Hm. Maybe you should name a language you would like to have it translated to... ;-) German: "Schlaffer Keks" (just a literal translation, I don't know if there is a special meaning for this expression in english)

    Well, as far as I've heard, yes. (As a native speaker that's difficult to compare) Especially the fact that everything has its own gender which you should know is difficult for learners. Example: In german, "the girl" - "das Mädchen" is neutral ("it"), but "the bottle" - "die Flasche" is female ("she"), while "the moon" - "der Mond" is male ("he")...
