1. Should people that post Ask Me Anything Threads be required to answer all questions?
What should be the penalty if they don't live up to the promise of their thread title?

7. I don't know....
Would such persons be responsible for answering threads that have been placed in the Archive?

As for punishment, I favor a mild flogging with a wet noodle.

14. Habe es gelernt auf der Uni
Auch hab ich Deutschland und Oesterreich gewesen.

But what made the biggest difference was when I fell in love with a German I met online and started using study tapes in my car!

9. My son lived with a family in Germany for 3 weeks last summer. He had a great time.
Edited on Mon Jun-11-07 02:01 PM by mnhtnbb
He was in a little village called Bellheim, near Kastellaun.

He leaves after the fourth of July for a trip to Vienna, Budapest and Prague
with a student group. Hotels, this time.

17. The friend whose wedding I will be attending...
...spent a semester abroad in Freiburg.

After my senior year in high school, we hosted a German student through a 4-H/county extension program.

19. I'm not sure if that's on the agenda,
but the church where my friend's wedding will be held was built in the 1600's.

21. I do all right...
...I can order from a menu and get what I thought I ordered.

I took two semesters of German in college. For practice, I read German websites every day.
