<p>I'm taking a German course in Midtown Atlanta and one of the benefits is they have film night on Wednesday nights in addition to our regular class.  Sometimes the films are in German, sometimes French (the Alliance francaise shares the same floor as them).  I have nothing better to do so I go down there and then stop at Arby's on the way back home for 3 roast beef sandwiches and some curly fries - all $1.00 each.  I share the curly fries with the dog and I cut up a little bit of the roast beef for the cat.  They're  both in hog heaven while we are all enjoying supper.</p>

<p>There's nothing better than hanging out with your pets.</p>

<p>Is it true that German words tend to be really long because they modify words by simply adding onto the end of existing words instead of creating a new word/stem? <em>Kinderplatzpottzdamerbiergarten</em>. Etc.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>(not sure if that makes any sense)</p>

<p>I'm not far enough along to actually answer that one.  I know while working on numbers it seems like we keep adding to them to make longer words but we're basically on short phrases and yes/no questions.  It's fun and gives me something to do with my Monday evenings and forces me out of the office on time.</p>

<p>we used to watch movies in German when I was a kid.  I was 18 when I saw Top Gun in English and I've never seen The Princess Bride,  The Neverending Story, Gullivar's Travels or Around the World in 180 days in English.  The Never Ending Story is the one I remember the most of though</p>
