German words explained

2016-01-31

In the magazine of the language learning platform Babbel, Ed M. Wood explains 7 ingeniously misunderstood German words in his mother tongue English. Such words or phrases are of course available in every language. Countless of them were listed, explained and laughed at. In Wood’s case there are simply 7, but they are built into little stories and provided with explanatory, iconic animated GIFs. Especially these icons I consider remarkable.

An example?

ear worm (lit.)
A song you can’t get aut of your head.
