Giton: Ouch, that's a couple friends of mine you're calling dull or lazy there...then again one of them got a 4 on her finals in Realschule for German Grammar so maybe I shouldn't be talking...
Fortunately they teach English to you guys at a good age when it's still in the valid critical learning period. When I was in school, we didn't start languages until we were 13-14 and it was too late. Having had to start again at 19 was challenging to say the least.
As far as weird things go...I guess I'll just include a note saying subs available upon request for some things. Could be worse, though. Apparently the German script for RENT is one of the worst translations ever done in the history of German theatre...I kinda like it though, it's a more figurative interpretation rather than literal one, meaning that while some of the lines seem silly to those familiar with the original, it's still a neat way to think about the show.
As for Joker, I wish him well in the contest.
And now to sleep and think about how to fix problems.
