Language

I am the bane of teachers......

Bernie tried to teach me QT and it was Why does this happen? Why not this? What's the understanding behind it all? Now I am learning how to type in German and it's..... even worse. :o

I found guten morgen and guten abend easy enough. I can string together a REALLY BASIC sentence like guten abend, du bist auch wundervoll in response. Then I ask... why is there no Good Afternoon? And my teacher was stuck. Apparently, no one says good afternoon. Just hi. lol. Now, this might be colloquial usage but I really found it strange.

Problem is - I always want to know why. Why this? Why that? Why everything!! And sometimes it doesn't help. Like the fiendishly complex male and female usage of word "the" in German. Damn. It is a struggle to understand from someone who's so used to it, he doesn't even think about it. LOL. Why can't everyone speak english?


It's straight forward, it's simple, and it's STILL capable of creating works to sear the soul!
