I had thought that my German was improving, and I was recognizing more words and phrases that are used commonly. But lately I've realized that a lot of this was me assuming that I knew what certain words meant when in actuality, I had no idea.
Schnell: I assumed this word meant slow, because it looks like snail. However, it actually means fast.
Ganz falsch: There's this comic that is in the bathroom at work, about using a plunger. I'll have to take a picture of it or something. Anyways, I thought that it was illustrating the sustainable way to use a plunger, but instead it was illustrating the correct and incorrect ways of using a plunger. I think i need to upload it for anybody to understand...
Richtung: Means direction. I'm not kidding, I thought it was an actual location until a week ago when I realized the meaning. God, I amaze myself sometimes.
