No, he’s learning in German. In reviewing homework, I’ll tell what things are in English, but his school is 100% German…except for English class, but that doesn’t count because it’s British English instead of correct English.

How dare you butcher these words.

Programme, okay I agree this one is dumb.

It’s more simple than that in German grade school learning British English. My son is given a spelling test and he gets half of them wrong when he thought this class was going to be easy.

It’s Mum, not mom
Football not soccer
Table tennis not ping pong
And he’s expected to understand cricket!

ask me :joy:

Yep. (go to your phone…)

‘correct’ English is correct, where it is spoken. Take your focus to accents and slang. :slight_smile:

The German language is multifaceted. You can create endless words that are valid and still make “sense”

Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft =

association of subordinate officials of the head office management of the Danube steamboat electrical services.

Those words are obviously some exceptions but we do have some other more normal but long words.

We also have
Ich, du, er, sie, es, wir, ihr, sie. der, die, das.

Basically different pronouns/genders for the same object depending on singular or plural

Das Auto, die Autos - the car/s
Der Pfannenwender, die Pfannenwender - the spatula
Der Ball, die Bälle - the ball/s

Here some more fucked up words.
(can’t say i have ever heard them, but they exist)

Is that a fucking math formula for putting together words… :joy: :joy: :joy:

Not really. Its using these words instead of the values they represent.

for example you take your money (mgkz) and substract gross ( fgkz) you get Net ( rfgkz )

(Words in the brackets are just as an example)

Scrabble is probably not that fun with words like those.
