This BSG German class has been established on special request of our very own and very lovely ian_w.

It works like this: You have a question regarding the German language or want something translated or explained? Post it here and I'll try to answer it by the power of Grayskull and with the help of my humble knowledge of the German language.

Los geht's!

Does "los geht's" mean "let's go"?

Yes.

WOO. YES. I WIN.

So, translate please!

Now stop it.

Oh. That wasn't necessarily a compliment...

Cor. Finally! My teacher wears an army uniform with stockings and suspenders underneath!

I learnt two german phrases whilst at school of someone who was half german. Predictably, being a schoolboy, all I wanted to know was:

You're Gay.
You're dead.

I can still pronounce them, but not write them apart from Du bist...

I'm allowed to give compliments. BECAUSE STONE COLD SAYS SO.

Well done, Fincky!

You're brought those 1997 memories flooding back to me.
