"der, die, das"(he she it)
lol, that's wrong. You can't compare "he she it" with "der,die,das". Because "der,die,das" means "THE" and "he,she,it" means "er,sie,es" in german. Please don't teach them wrong things!

Word by word would be:

Good, day, mister, mayor, i, love, this, boat.

Still every german would understand you.

"Guten Tag, Herr Bürgermeister. Ich liebe das Boot!"

wtf?

Good, day, mister, mayor, i, love, this, bread.

Boot isn´t Bread and the punctuation marks arent correctly
with "Translated word by word" I meant translated that it makes half sense. And with no translator?!

I translatet it manually... not with a translator.

Wow german seems similar to french


Omg? I doubt it. In German there are regular and irregular verbs, in French there are 3 classes of verbs:
1) the -er verbs
2) the -ir verbs
3) the -oir, -re verbs

And there are times in French that differ from the ones in German. And the words are not simillar.

german is very similar to english and french in some things example:

German : Die Konstruktion
English : The Construction
French : La Construction

In this case the construction is in French and English the same word and very similar to the german one. The gender of the French and German are in this case both female, but this is a exception

PS: exception is too a french word with same meaning than the english one.

Thats the way i can spot most for me unknown words in english (+ french)

Edit: In the english grammatical tenses exists more times than in the german one so the grammatical things would be easier for english to german

german looks like dutch...:D
i've on school dutch...
so i can speak it a bit..:S

ich      bin     habe     arbeite     
du      bist     hast     arbeitest     
er/sie/es      ist     hat     arbeitet
wir      sind     haben     arbeiten
ihr      seid     habt     arbeitet
sie      sind     haben     arbeiten
Sie      sind     haben     arbeiten


you use der by:
male words (Bruder,Vater,Großvater)

you use die by:
female words (Schwester,Mutter,Realschole)

you use das by:
neutral words (Handy,Kind,Baby)

every nouns house mother father ed.
in German you write them with a capitalletter...
(Mutter,Vater,Realschole,Wasser,Handy,Baby,Bruder,Schwester)


a bit of my German...;)

Is there no "C" in german?
Of course there is one. But it's almost only used in combination with H -> CH and SH -> SCH . (Like Schule = school).

Yeah, german is a lot like dutch. I always say Dutch is a mixture of german and english (because it sounds like it is)

and most english speaking people know some german words:
Oktoberfest
Sauerkraut
Kindergarten
