Common mistakes made by German learners

I don't know if it is good to think too much about mistakes. But on the other hand, if you know about common mistakes, you can try to avoid them. So take a look at Mike Seymour's website for an exhaustive list of mistakes that German learners make when they use English.

Facts about Germany, in English

If you read a past blog entry, you will remember these words:

One good way to learn English is to read English articles about subjects you know well. For example, you could read an English book which you had already read in German. So you know the plot (the story) already. This means that even if you don't understand ALL the words, you can still understand what you are reading.

One subject you probably know very well (if you are one of my German readers)
is ... Germany!! So reading about Germany in English should be quite easy for you.

Well, here is another, even better, link to a site about Germany with lots of interesting facts. Read about them in English, and if you don't understand something, you can try and find the same information on the German version of the site.
