    Unfortunately, learning a foreign language in addition to English is required, so yes. Nothing wrong with the language, but I didn't choose to learn another language.

    Und ja, ich muss meine Blattlause geknülen.

    Yes you did. You could've taken one of the other extra classes instead, like more english or norwegian

    It doesn't make sense either way, not your two options, and neither does the sentence with any of the available options. "Geknülle" makes a bit of sense like that, as a nomen instead of a verb, but not useful for the sentence either.

    Wenn Sie sagen können, was "Blattlause geknülen" bedeuten soll, kommen wir vielleicht weiter, Herr Viking.

    I've been taking German at nightclass for three years now. Heaps of fun - so going to Germany isn't the only way to learn it. I'd say in addition to nightclass at Dudley College *shameless plug*. Seriously, been real fun.

    Of course, I'm not fluent or an expert yet.
    I believe in a society without rules, laws and regulations. A society where there are only ideas - strict ideas that must be followed to by the letter - and any failure to comply is punishable by death. This would be no dictatorship or police state, no one would be living in terror. It would merely be a 'reassessment of one's preferences,' people living in 'not-so-optimistic security.' So, welcome, those who are 'longing to be blindly obedient and loyal, unbeknownst to them.'

    Indeed perhaps? Then again, maybe it has to do with knülen as used in Swedish or Norwegian, but that doesn’t seem to make much sense, either.

    Genau das was in meine Post hat passiert, ist was mich immer passiert. Jedes Jahres denke ich, na kommt, lese ich mal Kant oder etwas im original Sprache, auf Deutsch.

    Und, die erste zwei oder drei Minuten geht's fabelhaft. Aber dann...dann kommen die verdammte Deutscher immer wieder mit al dieser unbekannter Wörter...immer neue...immer längere...immer wieder...

    I'm pretty certain I could not; because then I would (more Norwegian is definitely not an option anyway, and thank God for that).

    Oh, ich meine zerknüllen. Entschuldigung. Vielleicht es kein Absicht gemacht, aber nichts ab mein Deutsch macht, sowieso.

    (some of those words are fresh out of the dictionary )

    Haha, that's indeed why I choose that particular verb, though the sentence is lovely random. Blattlaus is one of the first words I checked in my dictionary, also.

    Right,

    Vik, I figured you weren't telling the world about your 'schoshi chingos.'
