    Sure, German isn't quite the easiest language to learn but I think for a native English speaker it's way easier than learning Spanish or even Chinese. The most important thing when learning a language is to actually talk in that language. You can't expect great success if you only do theoretic stuff. Go to the chat down here, for example, or buy a German novel like 'Vollidiot' by Tommy Jaud (and not one of those old ones by Goethe, Brecht, Kafka etc.). Besides school, I began learning English by playing Pokémon (the good ole days :D) with language set to English instead of German. It really helped me a lot.

    Jep. Früher wurde "schinden" synonym zu häuten oder quälen verwendet. Heute benutzt das Wort aber kaum noch jemand, auch nicht für "arbeiten" etc. Zumindest hier in Norddeutschland. Gebraucht wird aber noch "Eindruck schinden" (=einen guten Eindruck machen / hinterlassen)

    "Emotional" würde bedeuten, dass jemand leicht Emotionen aufbaut (schnell anfängst zu weinen usw.) Was du meinst, ist glaube ich "Stimmungsschwankungen haben": "emotional aufgewühlt sein" (umgangssprachlich) "durch den Wind sein" (umgangssprachlich)

    appearance is your look / style. it can also mean someone / something showing up somewhere.

    wolves are mainly preying around dusk and dawn. they need some light to find their prey but too many light would prevent them from 'hiding in the shadows'. full moon's the perfect condition to chase so they howl to let the other wolves know 'hey guys, come here. we go hunting' so it's rather a pack-forming matter than being afraid of something ;)

    actually this vampire-silver thing is pretty unusual. blood ties was the first production where i heard that vampires seem to react a little 'allergic' to silver :D in the buffy era there was no such thing like it could have killed a vampire. i remember that, besides that holy thingie that cowboy already mentioned, silver is said to clarify the blood. it has some antibacterial characteristics. that's why silver is used for real-life medical purposes, too.

    Todos son preposiciones. "im" es una abreviación de "in dem", que es dativo. Está usado si el subjeto está dentro de algo y si el objeto es masculino o neutro: Der Mann sitzt im Bus (El hombre sienta dentro del autobús y "Bus" es un substantivo masculino) Se puede usar "im" como una preposición temporal, también: siglos: Im 19. Jahrhundert (en el siglo 19) meses: Im April (en abril) "am" se compone de la preposición "an" y el artículo dativo "dem". Se usa "an" si el subjeto está cerca de un objeto: Der Mann sitzt am See (El hombre sienta cerca/enfrente/etc del lago) Uso temporal: días: Am Montag wird es heiß (El lunes hará calor) ...o: Am 15. April... (El 15 de abril...) etapas de día: Am Vormittag frühstücke ich (Por la mañana desayuno) "um" no es una abreviación. Se puede usarlo como una preposición local o temporal como los otros: Die Männer sitzen um den See (herum) (Local: Los hombres sientan alrededor del lago) Die Männer treffen sich um 1 Uhr (Temporal: Los hombres se encuentan a la una)
