German pulls heavily from French vocabulary as well. I've been studying with Langenscheidt's book “Basic German Vocabulary” and their accompanying workbook, “Grundwortschatz Deutsch – Übungsbuch”. With a little bit of search and using the Google translate I could get a feeling of different courses. Let's look at family this week so we have the German vocabulary for family (Familie) and relationships (Verwandschaften). Grammatically we'll also look at how we can turn adjectives into nouns. The first one (Frauenzentrale) seems not to be specifically for women though it is called so. "Can I tomorrow with you into the city go?" Vocabulary tends to be fairly easy since English is Germanic and there are so many cognates. Translators will be more than familiar with German's preference for English terms over its own, but will have no doubt seen English-looking terms for which they have even had to consult a dictionary. I'm a native speaker of English so a lot of basic German vocabulary (Fuss=foot, Hund=hound=dog) was relatively easy for me to pick up, as I could attach words to their English cognates. Hi there, I wonder if there is some kind of English/German LOTRO dictionary available on the net with translations of commands and names (for skills, places, ingredients, tools, loot, outfit,…) etc.
