Ok, done. It should be over anyways, since I'll be on vacation for the next two weeks.

Don't worry! It's FINALLY over! All other texts are only made of few words that I can understand by using Altavista Babel Fish. Like: Suchen (Search), Ende (Quit), Kopieren (Copy) and so on...

A big THANK YOU!

...question, if besuchen freunde is to visit friends, how is suchen 'search?' That's confusing! I sometimes wish that our class would study this German stuff a little more in depth, as all you can get out of it is this:

Besuchen freunde = visit friends
Machen eine reise = vacation
Wie heisst du = what's your name


These have more complex meanings, right? What I mean is, doesn't 'wie heisst du' really mean how are you called or some variation of that?

I know nothing about German, but it seems pretty logical that you have to be able to find where you friends are in order to visit them.  :winktounge:

Well, every language has its irregularities. Some have more, some less. I'd consider German one of the former group.
Those things probably arose with the development of the language.

"Besuchen freunde = visit friends" is actually an exact translation
"Wie heisst du = what's your name" well, the dictionary says 'heissen' (or actually 'hei?
