If so, I'm taking a German Language course at the Uni (pretty cool BTW

) and the final project is an essay. The thing is that I want to make it of one of two topics.

#1. Music but not Classical I was thinking more along the lines of the punk scene!

#2. Technology. Be it car things, computers or whatever.

So, if you have the time, could you post some links to some sites related to these two topics.! It will be very very appreciated!!

Thanks

hmm wonder if clubmed would have something.. he's austrian but not too far away he may speak a bit of german (believe austrian is a dialect?)

I hate to say this Vass, but Austria and Germany are two different countries!

Yeah, but the language is the same. Like the US and Great Britain both speak English (though the Brits might disagree).

For what it's worth, and not meaning anything else by it, Hitler was an Austrian; he had no trouble making himself understood in Germany, I believe.

Bad example Theophylact!

Harder

Good example, but I really didn't mean anything by it other than the fact that Hitler's language was so readily understood by Germans.

Stalin, on the other hand, was a Georgian, and I believe his Russian was heavily accented. Georgian and Russian are closely related, but are by no means the same language.
