Today I learned that I can read German somewhat without hardly any prior knowledge.

gaming language uses some english words or words similiar to english. as example they say multiplayer but in "real" german it would be "mehrspieler". or "sound" instead of "ton/klang".

and then there are the words similar to the latin stuff like "animationen" which you say "animations" to.

Well it also help that German is one of the base languages that became English. English was the result of a Runic Language (Orginal English), German and French all cooking together in Great Britian's early turblent years.

yeah i know but in the pics i posted there is really a lot of stuff which is almost the same in english or german or something which we just say in english for games. if you would read a normal text you would find less of these similarities. i can also understand swedish, dutch and stuff^^

I put the stuff in more for FOX than anything. I just grabbed your response instead of scrolling back up.

OT: While doing some research on the French occupation made me remember that Henry II wife was deeply involved with events that became the story of Repunzel.

Eleanor of Aquitaine was a very strict wife. (Who was married orginally to Luis the Fat of France) and she had a castle in France that I visited. The castle was built over the water with a tower with one window at the top. That was where Eleanor would imprision the mistrisses of Henry II where some of them died. I had pictures of it, its kind of a nice castle. That was the roots of where the brothers Grimm came up with Repunzel.
