I am now an A1 German-speaker! I can speak in the present, the past, the imperative... Oh, the many things I can say! I am opening up the blog comments here to translation requests. I will respond as accurately as possible, and when I am in doubt I will make up ridiculous things.
But seriously, German is ridiculous enough without having to make anything up. Check out this word:
DONAUDAMPFSCHIFFAHRTSELEKTRIZITAETEN-
HAUPTBETRIEBSWERKBAUUNTERBEAMTENGESELLSCHAFT
Yes, that's 80 letters! According to the internet, this word means: "the club for subordinate officials of the head office management of the Danube steamboat electrical services" (name of a pre-war club in Vienna).
Mein Gott!!!
