[sarcasm]Happy to read that even the "great Germany" sees itself split in various "ethnic groups".[/sarcasm]
BTW, I learn German (or whatever you call it) in the school. I'm low on practice, but should be able to read, at least.
Good idea, anyway!

Thanks a lot. I believe that German is a rather difficult language to learn.

I could say the same for "Italienische"...
Going off-topic...I was several times in Germany (especially in Bayern), Austria and South-Tyrol (Italy). What I realized is that the "German" I've learn in the school (7 years) should be the one spoken in Koeln. Sometimes the teachers explained pronunciation differences (e.g. "ch" in "Ich") as in Hamburg, or Switzerland.
One of the most difficult things I had in German is to pick the right gender for nouns: that's a real nightmare! That's even more difficult for us, because the Italian language dropped the "neutral" centuries ago. However, one of my biggest surprises was that there's NOT a common recognized rule for that, and different parts of Germany use different genders for the same noun.
IMO, English is "simpler" just because has been used for tech, movies and other cultural waves, so that everyone wanted/forced to learn. Never had serious problem to understand, not to be understood in Germany: very friendly yet warmful people and lovely places!
Gruess Gott!

I'm surprised you bring up Köln as an example for good(?) spoken german. Go look up songs of the Köln-based rock band BAP, and see if you can understand what they're singing.

As soon as you take an optional approach to grammar it's rather easy.

I found it fairly easy. I found French to be much harder to learn - weird pronunciation and all those extra, unused letters in the words.

Then you had the wrong teacher

No, clearly I had the right German teacher. Actually I was learning at a Swiss language school in Munich and being taught High-German by a Venezuelan teacher!

You have a bit of English in your welcome message. I can read that too of course, but I thought it was a bit odd to mix languages like this:
Wie antworte ich?
To reply to the overall topic...

Yeah, the German translation of Discourse is still not fully complete.
I'll try to manually change everything I can now.
Thanks for pointing out!

Just to let you know... that just showed up in the moderation queue. Probably due to being non-English.

But why? Because I wrote in German? I will delete it. For this I think you first have to delete?
And yes, thank you for your note.

No I don't, I let it through. You didn't need to delete it.
