I just wanted to let you know that I have a new favorite word...

der Ellenbogen

...that's elbow in German!!

Comments

There is a plastic surgeon on "Dr. 90210" named Dr. Ellenbogen. "Why hello Dr. Elbow!" Yes, now you know what kind of trash we watch on TV. I think my favorite word is "schnabeltier." Class, your assignment is to find out what that word is.

Yes, Alex... I will take Strange Words for Platypus for $800. And, no, that was not part of our language learning!!

Well, one of the only other German words I know is "hubschrauber." I guess when we come to visit, I'll have to pack a platypus and a helicopter so I can talk to people!! ;-)

Speaking of Der Schneider, we really need to find an English translation of that story. It might help with Isabella, and scare Georgia into submission. ;-)
