German is used as the official language of Germany and of Austria. Historically, German falls into three main periods: Old German (c. 750—c. 1050); Middle German (c.1050—c.1500); and Modern German (c.1500 to the present). The earliest existing records in German date back to about 750. In this first period, local dialects were used in writing, and there was no standard language.
International perspectives are increasingly important in the United States. In trade, culture, political relations, world affairs and security, travel, and numerous other areas the United States is more and more committed in an interdependent world.
German is quite close to other Germanic languages such as Dutch, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian. It is not so close to English, although both languages share some common vocabulary. Amongst important languages, Dutch is the closest.
German is easy to spell, and when you encounter a new German word, you can tell precisely how it is pronounced. This is the result of several well-needed purges in German orthograph. If you want to find out what German used to look like, have a look at a pre-WWII book, written in hardly legible gothic characters with many useless mute letters like in today's French.

Pronunciation
German is quite easy to pronounce. There are a few tricky sounds:
- ü in müde, pronounced like French vue
- ch in Ach, pronounced like Scottish Loch
- ch in Geschichte, where the first "sch" is pronounced like English shovel, but the second requires sticking you tongue to the palate. Make sure you get this sound right.
You should not have difficulties with German pronunciation after a few months of study
Vocabulary
German vocabulary seems awesome at first. Words can be very long, and it seems a mathematician built them with a secret formula, then threw it away. |

Watch Your Actions

Watch Your Character It Becomes Your DESTINY |
BELIEVE IN YOURSELF |
If you think you are beaten;
You are;
If you think you dare not
You don’t,
If you would like to win, but think you can’t
It is almost a cinch you won’t.
If you think you will loose,
You’re lost,
For out in the world we find…..
SUCCESS BEGINS WITH
A fellow’s will;
It is all in a state of mind.
Life’s battle don’t always go
To the stronger or faster man’
But sooner or later,
The man who wins
IS THE ONE WHO THINKS HE CAN! |
