Let me briefly post about the German language. German is a Germanic language just as English. But although German and English share some origins of some words. They are entirely different languages. Yes, similar words like brot and bread, wasser and water, und and and, mann and man, but if you want to reach fluency in German you need about 6 months to a year of study or about 700 hours of lectures. If you take 2 hours every day, that'll take about 1 year. If you take a German exam, you will be tested on 4(vier) Parts which are hören, sprechen, Schreiben and lesen. Which are hearing, speaking, writing and reading. For someone to call himself or herself fluent, he must speak in good German to a German speaker in any topic like football or politics without any difficulty. Germans speak pretty fast and you must take months of listening exercises to properly understand them. If you're ffluent in German, you must be able to write an essay or a letter in German. Speak good German and read German literature or newspapers and magazines. Yeah, German is pretty close to English compared to languages like Arabic, Chinese, Finnish and others but it's easier to learn Spanish, Swedish, Italian. Don't take what you see literally, German is easier to learn for English speakers than other languages but learning a language requires work and dedication. How will you buy something with your Mann, brot, Wasser, and other simple German words? I think German fluently in one month is impossible. But you can have great progress in one month but not fluency. If you know about 1000 German most used words, you can uunderstand about 80%(not sure, I've forgotten) of all German texts. But it's useless. It's like "the boy is.... ", "I'm going to the.... then I'll.... you". If you learn 4000 most used German words you'll be able to understand about 95% of all German texts but it takes work. I hope I've educated a little.

Rawhumper: Someone once said that "everyone has a plan until you get punched in the face." You feel you can do it in two months, fine do it first. When watching football and someone misses a goal scoring chance , viewers scream and shout like they would have scored the goal if they were playing. To be honest I felt dumb when learning German initially. I'm an intermediate now. I'm not trying to discourage anyone but only he who wears the shoe know where it pinches. Try learning first, not only talking 4 Likes 1 Share |

Hitler became agressive because of many reasons,Germanys defeat in World war1 and the heavy damages placed on Germany to pay on countries then weaak economy,corruption etc in the system. This led to the purge when he took power as chancellor,he reorganised the system,bla bla. It was the attack on Poland by Germany was the major factor that led to the world war. If we start tracing reasons which are many,we wont b able to list them. Adolf Hilter wanted expansion,he so much believed in the Arian blood to be superior,his plan was to annihilate the world especially the jews,Poles,blacks etc. Ironically most of the soildiers in the German army were Austrians,even Adolf Hilter was an Austrian not German. Germany would have won the war,they had the most disciplined Army,best war machines,economy etc. He bit more than he could chew,some school of thought believe that Hitlers attack on Russia was the main factor that cost him the war.
