Day 23: buchstabieren! To spell! It sounds like to stab the book, which from an English speaking perspective, isn’t too far from how I feel when reading and learning compound words in German! Lol.

Day 11: der Fuchs. The fox!

Das Curry! Sehr einfach!

Day 7: Fischers Fritze fischt frische Fische; Frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritze! Was it’s das?!?

We do, don’t we, Duo?

Day 24: die Höhle. I’ve been binge watching Dark on Netflix, and honestly it’s my new favorite show. The word that constantly recurs is die Höhle, the cave. I highly recommend the show. If you love moody foreign films with a the occasional dash (or more) of Science Fiction, Fantasy, Secret Societies, and Time Travel, mixed with a juicy cop drama, then this show is so for you. And it’s all in German, so I can’t recommend it enough. I’ve watched it with and without English subtitles just to get a sense of the dialogue as it translates, and I’ve got to say it’s weirdly poetic and interesting. Anyway, Höhle!

Day 6: der Finger!

Day 14: mein Handy!

Day 20: die Geige, the violin! What are other good German instruments whose names are vastly different than their English translations?
