Hi Mike, The list of typical mistakes made by German speakers is hugely useful for my English classes. Thanks a million for that.
Here's one you might want to include:
"whatever" does NOT mean "wie auch immer", but "allerdings" or "jedoch"
Take care,
Doug

Lieber Mike Seymour, danke für die tolle Liste mit den typischen Fehlern. Ich finde die Tipps sehr hilfreich, da ich einige Fehler aus meinem eigenen Sprachgebraucht wieder erkenne.

Hi Mike (#400),
Nice (#7) to have found your site again.
I still remember Coldplay (Alter Wartesaal) in the late 90s…

It’s a pity that the visitors book ends now in 2007, so the older records can’t be reached any longer.

2 hints about the latest tips&tricks?
(By the way: Dank der letzten Rechtschreibreform muss es im Deutschen jetzt Tipps heissen - sorry for that…)


#388 Another example for this change of meaning is jazz.
In the early 20th century some musicians didn’t use this word because of its ambiguity (sexual connotation).
#403 another person called gaffer is a member of a film-crew.
That’s where gaffer tape (also: MacGyver-Tape) has its name from,
because it was easy to handle and very useful.

;-) Thomas

Dear Mike,
Thank you so much for the many useful tips on your website. I will recommend these tips to my students. Maybe I should make them learn the tips for the next classtest. (Just joking. ;-) )
Best wishes,
J.R.
