Homework in German means Hausaufgaben. Often Germans when speaking to me in English use the word housework (Hausarbeit) when they mean Homework! So, do not get confused between homework and housework!

“Honest businessmen should be protected from the unscrupulous customer.” Quote by Lester Maddox.
This English joke is a play on words (ein Wortspiel). The English words, “To beam me aboard” means that Captain Kirk wants Spock, Bones and Mr Scott to use the ship’s device to transport him from the planet he is on to their spaceship. In the second photograph, you see Captain Kirk standing next to a pile of wood. A board (German =Ein Brett ) in English means a plank of wood, this is why Captain Kirk doesn’t look happy and Spock, Bones and Mr Scott are laughing.
Housing:
Living in a WG. A WG, or Wohngemeinschaft, is a shared apartment. In Germany, many young people and students live in a WG because it’s more affordable!
A word so fine as ein
Remember, the Masculine ein (and only that one!) changes to einen when it receives the action of the verb. The same goes for der words!
Ich habe ein Regal, eine Mikrowelle, und einen Kühlschrank.
Ich brauche das Sofa, die Vase, den Stuhl, und die Pflanzen.
Unser, unsere
In English, we say our brother and our sister. In German, it’s
unser Bruder and unsereSchwester. Just like with mein, dein, and ein!
Unsere Mutter ist Ärztin.
Unser Opa ist alt.
Ready for some sweets?
Pay attention to how the letter z is pronounced!
Zeug, Zug (as in “sweets”) Holz, Platz (as in “sweets”)
These are English words, but as it is American English humour, then I don’t really get it!
