Guys,

I’ve noticed that at least both on the line-by-line and pdf transcripts for this and the following lesson, you only provided the “Formal German” transcript and the translation. However, that’s just true only for the title, because the transcripts themselves are INFORMAL, as the “Du” forms are used all over. Just an observation.

Good job, Judith and Chuck!

Hi

I have written this comment in English because my German is not yet up to the question. Scheisse! Are you likely to cover German swearing in later lessons? I know in this lesson Sheisse is used in extreme anger. However I also know that use of expeltives varies within cultures and and nations. E.g Americans appear more likely to use expletives than UK usage. Also there are age based differences in usage. It may also lead to giving the appearance of lacking education. In Germany I have heard parents telling their children off for using sheisse! Where are the boundaries in Germany?

Danke

Richard

Thanks
