Mitlernen

I’ve been attempting to learn German for ages without much success. It doesn’t really matter -  I’m only doing it for fun. The German for snail is Die Schnecke, this is quite funny on its own (suggests a creature that sneaks around). Lovelier though is Das Schneckenhaus for snail shell (I’m sure you can work out the literal translation). And, my final bit of snail related German: im Schneckentempo - at a snail’s pace. Ich lerne deutsch im Schneckentempo.

  2. Cheers - I must confess I get confused with the da- words. And the hin- and her- ones as well.
