I don't know about Adi's rolling of the R, but different people pronounce the german R more and some less (well, we always make fun of some of our teachers who pronounce the german R:) On the new Rammstein CD I really liked when in song Moskau Till pronounces "raz, dva, tri" and rolls the ...

As DeBaer said - you shouldn't miss Deutsches Museum in Munich. It's very interesting and if you're going there don't miss the Zeiss-Planetarium. http://www.deutsches-museum.de/ausstell/dauer/luft/img/messer.jpg http://www.deutsches-museum.de/index.htm Then you can also visit Berchtesgaden (but chec...

Greenhorn: should a teacher refer to the Iraqi army with the correct Arab name? If not, then why should they refer to the German army of that time as "Wehrmacht"? Average 15 year old kids don't need that kind of specialized knowledge and one should not complicate such information. And I r...
