    On Saturday morning German WOMEN have to sweep their house inside and outside their house the front. MEN … wash and clean their cars, check oil, and check airpressure of the tires (Reifen), check if all lights are working, clean interior of their cars etc. And yes, I say cars. In Germany it is said, better a second car then a second child. Our son has two children … but three cars LOL

    I do not believe that. Germany, Western Europe, are not in a depression. The biggest problem is where to find labour. In every branche they need people. Special now in teaching, in nursery and technical (too because of the activities against climate change, like changing energy to electric).

    Learning German … for that you indeed have to be at least an engineer!

    I 'm suprised, because young people and the ones who studied do speak English. But okay.

    How easy is German? Lesson one, translate the word “the”. That is easy in English but can be in German … der, des, dem, den, die, das. Depending … see the German gramar. Germany, German people too do not take many new modern English words in their language. Take a motorbike, the carburator. In Dutch language (spoken in the Netherlands and part of Belgium, it is carburateur. In German they invent their own word, here it is called Vergaser. Dutch, the television is de tv, in German der Fernseher (Far looker). But, from own experiences, just learn some of the language and the mistakes you make will be forgiven, because you have the sympathy that you invested time and energy to learn at least some basic. So … good luck.
