kylewritescode asked: Was ist die Unterschied zwischen die Verben 'einladen' und 'fordern'? Ich dachte, dass einladen ist im Rahmen von 'invite someone to sth.' benutzt, und 'fordern' bedeutet genauso 'to ask'. Danke!

callipygianduchess asked: I've been studying German for 5 years now, but I feel like I just can't get the hang of speaking. I took four years in high school and they didn't concentrate much on speaking, and now that I'm taking my second German class in college, speaking is coming more easily, but it's not coming naturally yet. Maybe because I get too caught up on grammar? Any tips on speaking?

diesehnsucht asked: Hello :) I wanted to say you have a great blog!

And for the person who's looking for an intensive language course in Berlin, I could recommend die Neue Schule (www.neueschule.de). I went there for 10 weeks and it really improved my German! They have classes on every level, also for people who don't know any German yet.

Christi Geburt = Nativity 6.) das Gebet (-e) = prayer 7.) beten (reg.) = (to) pray 8.) predigen (reg.) = (to) preach 9.)...

consistentspontaneity asked: Hi! Just wanted to say thanks. Your blog has been one of the inspirations for me to learn German. So, could you recommend me any reputable intensive German programs in Germany, preferably in Berlin? I've never studied German, but I've studied a few other languages abroad. I really believe in language immersion and want to spend 6-8 weeks learning and practicing German. Thanks in advance!

I'm thinking of taking up German studies as my minor in college. I think it's such a fun language to learn. I think this site is wonderful. I hope to learn more from this site so i can still practice german even if i'm on vacation. :)

Anonymous asked: I don't speak any German (yet), but do you capitalize nouns? I'm trying to find a pattern in the capitalization. You don't capitalize much in French, so it's a bit baffling to me.
