France is doing it for the general safety of the population... When you cannot identify a person because they have covered their face, then that is dangerous. I can understand France's reasoning for this.

Depends on the context, this is vague... If you're describing a single person in this case, then B.

Du kannst immer Sprechpartnern suchen, wo die mit Skype mit Dir telfonieren können. (: Ich glaube es gibt eine Menge von solchen Leuten hier bei italki... 

Here are some movies I watched that helped me:  Wo ist Fred?, KeinOhrHase, Die 'Schtis, Die Welle, Auf den anderen Seite, Der Schuh der Manitu ... usw.

TV:  http://www.n24.de/ , http://www.dw-world.de/ (Deutsche Welle also has German lessons within their website) ... Even give YouTube a shot for things like Family Guy, South Park, and even American Dad in German dubs. When I was in Germany, I watched episodes that I knew in English and it helped me understand the German better and it built my vocabulary.

Books: Children's books like the Rainbow Fish have been translated to German, you could probably find copies of these online or so. (:

You've got the wrong idea about language learning, the thing is, memorization is a must when you learn another language. There is no way of getting out of memorization, but you can always try different methods of memorization that are more practical than sitting down with a dictionary. Memorization is also a two-part process, memorizing and applying this to make the knowledge really stick.

While I was in Germany and even when I was still in the States, listening to German radio broadcasts or movies or songs was always the best for me - Even better if you could have subtitles or the text that goes along with it. When you don't understand something you can always try to figure a word out with context clues, or when you really don't understand, then whip out the dictionary. ALWAYS try to use the word afterwards so it sticks in your head, if you don't apply it you won't be able to remember the word, ever.

Hallo (:

Ich bin nicht Deutsch aber ich kann die Sprache fließend. Wenn Du Hilfe brauchst, sag einfach mal Bescheid und ich hilfe Dir gerne!

My favourite country is ... well, my home country, the USA. Afterwards is Germany. I've lived in both countries and love them both. (: Half of my life is with the US, half of it is in Germany.

Words in German that end with -o are always "das" except "die Disko".

Words that end in for example -ung, or -tion are always "die".

Plural words always take the article of "die", even if the singular article for the word is different. (i.e. Das Mädchen is singular, whereas die Mädchen is plural.)

Words that have the "der" article usually don't have that many set rules, you have to just memorize them. But when you know what endings go to die and das, then your chances of knowing when a word is der is much higher.

Nouns that come from verbs are always "das", are also effected by prepositions, and are used to the -ing form of actions. Das Lernen -> "Viel Spaß beim Lernen!" = Have fun learning!
Das Essen -> "Wir sind gerade beim Essen." = We're eating right now.
