There are other means of obtaining help in gathering Keywords other than surgerically removing them from fellow photographers.

Sans Souci  palace (if my French is not correct, which i rarely so, please pardon me)

Later when you are more into German you should give a try to "Schtonk!" (a hilarious comedy about the true story of the faked Hitler diaries) or "Mein Fhrer" - I always enjoyed learning English from comedies (like "Blackadder", "Fawlty Towers", Monthy Python stuff etc.)!


thanks! i did not expect so many replies

Good bye Lenin!:

A great movie.  Having been to the former East Germany right after reunification for just a few days, I could really relate with what they showed there (the joy and the expectation of a new way of life). Moreover, the idea was quite creative.

And unlike some German movies, this one is not boring nor depressive.  ;)

have you been to Furstenberg ? It were I may have to move to ....

Grammar is less difficult than in english.
And the are no rules for der,die,das the only way to learn this is by listening.
I was wandering about der,die, das and you answered it. thanks !

Best German movie I have seen in a long time, in fact best movie I have seen in a long time:
"The life of others" (Das Leben der anderen).  Received an Oscar for best foreign movie last year and truly deserved it. 
But if you are just starting out: maybe some soaps like "Lindenstrasse"or "Gute Zeiten, Schlechte Zeiten" would be easier, albeit much less enjoyable and I have no idea how you would get access to them.  If you life in the US there are in some places German news (Deutsche Welle, DW) on TV and/or radio.  Also check on youtube for previews and or short films or study lyrics from songs (many English hits got translated - freely - into German, some the other way around like some songs of Nena and Falco).  I am using all of these sources to study Spanish.
Good luck with your efforts.  Very admirable to study my difficult mother tongue!

thank you for the youtube hint. It never occurred to me. You have scared me telling that German is difficult. If it has a difficult grammar  I am doomed. Words I can memorize, grammar  rules in any language elude me.

any movie that has people talking in standard German, not dialects, will be good. 20s  or 30s are fine too.

since i get 0-4 dls each day I have time to check if there was a sub. not yet.

243
I am not uploading to any site almost for a month. If were to punish a site, one of first would be FT. But, hey, it seems we have a choice. FT is not a number one site for most of us. My feeling they are wrong.

may be that the supply is already greater than demand and one way to lower prices is subs.

I am sorry, that was an EL. Never had them before at IS, so it did not occur to me.

I see a jump in $15, but no images behind this jump. Subs ?  Actually, the jump is $24.
