Lightbulb I'm just curious what language is this?

Kleine Chronologie der Dialektik "symbolischer Aktionen", breiter Medienberichterstattung, großer Sympathie in der Bevölkerung und unerfüllter Erwartungen an eine linke Regierung

One thing I've been wondering about German...

Why are words capitalized in the middle of sentences?

I believe Germans capitalize all their nouns. Or so someone told me.

Yep, that's it. All nouns are capitalized in German (and the beginning of a sentence, too).

Good luck on trying to learn German -- I know english and spanish, and am learning japanese now, although I'm still a novice at it. I've not spoken spanish in 3 1/2 years now so I'm no longer nearly as good as I once was, but I can still read or listen to it pretty well.

I'm taking Spanish IV next year, so I know some Spanish but not all too much. I am originally from Germany so I know quite a bit a german yet. Japanese does sound like an interesting language though.

Small chronology of the dialectic of " symbolic internal messages ", broad medium report, large sympathy in the population and unfulfilled expectations to a left government


Go to altavista.com and click on translate. If the result makes sence..........
