You can say, "Ich will Deutsch verstehen", meaning to understand it when someone is talking to you. Or you can say, "Ich möchte Deutsch sprechen können", meaning, I want to be able to talk German. German sentences are usually more complicated than english ones, but since we share a common linguistic ancestor, many words have the same roots. Only the synthax is different on many occasions.
You see, "sprechen", "speak" are not that different if you think about it. When I started to learn english, I concentrated on the similarities, which are many. Some words are virtually the same like "bed","Bett".
And you know, you've chosen one of the meanest and most vulgar words when using "Schlampe" for a woman? It's german german. We don't use it.
So....more vulgar than say..."I am your whore" ?
I didn't choose the word, Vosur calls me that occasionally
I've been noticing that German seems to be closer to Spanish than English when it comes to the make up of sentences. Not the actual words but how the sentences are formed.
