  • Remember: MANY ideas for what you can do are in the AMD-Ideen and Beispiele: Sample Posts posts pinned to the top of the Discussion section. You can also scroll through the posts to see what others have done.
  • Read this Wikipedia article about “Denglisch”: specific, sometimes amusing, occasionally controversial English influences on German.
