Some sweet nice body language..

There are actually onomatopoeia for famous songs, particularly songs with guitar. Like:

dun dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun dun

dun dun dun, dun dun dun, dun dun dun

That's the breakdown in Domination by Pantera, and one of the more simple ones I could think of.

Also, there are things like "dadum tsh" for a drum rimshot, "wah wah" or "wow wow" for a wah pedal, and more.

That's actually quite funny. First because I love this song and second because I would say dö dö dö instead of dun dun dun.

"An onomatopoeia is a word that imitates a sound"

Like omnomnom? Omnomatopoeia?

I would not suggest to learn it at the same time. They are similar but not that similar. And learning German should be hard enough.

I guess Dutch has the same structure as German. Lots of words sound similar.

That's really interesting. I always find it funny when I watch a TV show or a movie and someone says a German word.

It can be useful if you already have good knowledge but it could also be very tempting to just watch the movie.

Not really. Why would anyone wish that?

German is a beautiful and deep and complex language. i can live with that.

Not directly but I am sure it looks good in any CV.

Hier hat es geregnet, aber jetzt scheint es, dass der Sommer ist zurückgekehrt, ich verstehe das wetter nicht.

Das Wetter ist ja viel wechselhaftr heutzutage. Wir hier in Norddeutschland haben auch kaum noch Schnee im Winter.

How many German words in English language do you know? Would be nice to create a list here.

Kindergarten, Angst, Blitzkrieg.

Do you think the same of classic German poems?

Goethe - Erlkönig

Es wird langsam Herbst. Manchmal regnet es, aber insgesamt wird es einfach nur kühler. Und bei Euch?

I did learn Russian? Good to know, was pretty easy, I barely noticed learning it.

I had it in mind but somehow it never came to it. Can read some words though.

It's not even necessary to know more than your native language. And it's not even necessary to know that native language very well. But it can be useful.

Ja, sie sind unterschiedlich (how hard is it to write this word!!!  :confused:), aber das was nicht das Grund, Ich fuhr fort zu studieren und es war viele Änderungen...

Unterschiedlich. It's even more fun to speak it out loud.

Angry Burger sounds more like Rinderwahn.

Es war vielleicht vor 10 Jahren, ich hatte ein gutten freund da und ich will es neben er leben. Aber es war zu schwer...

Vielleicht hätte es Dir auch nicht gefallen. Deutschland und Portugal sind wahrscheinlich ziemlich unterschiedlich.

I actually worked for a while in Norway, I was an au pair and lived with a Norwegian family.  I really recommend this culture exhcnage program, the pay isn't too bad either, plus you get to meet a lot amazing people while you are working abroad.  This job made me a more independent and open person, plus I met my first boyfriend this way.  I had never been so happy in my life before, not the way I was when I was living and working in Norway.

That must have been some nice experience. Norway is a very rich country and still one of the favourite countries for a German to move to.

To me German sounds pretty aggressive and I think it's because it has a lot of rshhh sounds and similar and that is not smooth in the ear. Your "A" letters many times also have strong accentuation so that possibly helps too.

So.. it's the A and the RSH.. I can make some nice German word with that.

Wann hast Du denn versucht, Deutsch zu leben, und warum wolltest Du nach Deutschland?

I would try the Struwelpeter. It's a bit oldschool but it has some nice little stories and is illustrated.

I like "Backpfeifengesicht" myself. It means a face that cries out for a fist in it. It's one of those insults that Americans probably won't understand.

Actually I think it's one of those words no German would use anymore.

Ich glaube Portuguiesisch ist nicht leicht, aber keine sprache ist. Ich glaube dass fur einer ein sprache lernen, er musst viel wollen.

Das stimmt. Man muss ja immer einen Grund haben, egal, was man lernen will.

I am happy, to be in Germany.

"Mein Vogel ist viel zu dick und ich gebe ihnen schon Diätfutter."

What?

I am pretty sure it will get harder and deeper while the user progresses.

Well, a girl is always motivation enough to learn a new language.
