Sirana<p>German language advice: </p><p>Many long scary words are just several small words in a trench coat. It's like lego, you just have to know how to stack them. </p><p>Also, many words are rather, well, descriptive:</p><p>Handschuh -> hand shoe -> Glove<br>It's kind of like a shoe, but for your hand.</p><p>Fußgängerüberweg -> foot walker over path (sort of) -> pedestrian crossing <br>The path where people walking on foot can cross the street.</p><p>And that second one is often marked with a Zebrastreifen, a zebra stripe, because it's a bunch of white stripes placed on usually rather dark coloured streets, creating a pattern resembling a zebra.</p><p><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/GermanLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GermanLanguage</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/German" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>German</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/LanguageLearning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LanguageLearning</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/SecondLanguage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SecondLanguage</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Linguistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Linguistic</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/Language" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Language</span></a></p>
