Please help with German knowledge work?
have this German booklet that I have to work on. I've done all the questions except for these because I don't really know: 1. Name 5 neighbouring countries in German - Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Austria, Czec Republic and Poland Can you please translate 5 of these into German? 2. In which state or city would you find the Europark? 3. Why did people think Mad King Ludwig wsa mad? - Was it because he spent huge amounts of money on his castles? 4. Also, how did he die? - I know he was found in a lake with Dr. Bernhard, and some think he could be murdered. Any ideas on this? 4. A German classical composer and where they lived? (other than Johann Sebastian Bach) 5. What is the people's car of the Germans? - Is it Volkswagen? 6. What do people mostly drink in the Oktoberfest? 7. What are two German food specialities? 8. Name two German words that we now use in English. Please help, and name some sources of your information, thanks in advance.

1. Dänemark, Niederlande, Belgien, Luxemburg, Frankreich, Schweiz, Österreich, Tschechische Republik, Polen 2. Europark doesn't exist in Germany. If you meant Europapark, there's two. One is a theme park in Rust, near Freiburg, the other is located in Klagenfurt am Wörthersee. 3. That's one reason, but he also really behaved strange, like installing a lift to the kitchen so he didn't have to see his servants or taking spontaneous trips by sled or carriage in the middle of the night. 4. Noone really knows how he died. What you stated is the common version. 4. Richard Wagner (born in Leipzig 1813), Felix Mendelssohn Bartoldy (born in Hamburg 1809), Johann Pachelbel (born in Nürnberg 1653) 5. People's car is translated Volkswagen, yes. Although nowadays it's just a brand like any other (BMW, Mercedes, Ford and so on) 6. Simple: beer 7. Bratwurst, Schnitzel, Sauerkraut (to fulfill the clichee) Seriously: Try Rollmops and Saumagen. (Both can be found on english Wiki if you have no idea what they are.) 8. Angst, Bratwurst, Rucksack, Stillstand, Wunderkind, Zeitgeist

Hmmm, maybe you should be doing your homework yourself???

I'd like to add a few details to what has already correctly been answered: to 3 and 4: No, not because he spent so much money on his castles, but because he allegedly committed suicide. This, in his days and in the Catholic religion, would have been an unforgiveable sin, unless, well: You were declared mad, because a madman -- due to his naiveté of mind -- can't commit any sin. So declaring him mad was, in those days, the only way to restore his reputation after he had drowned himself in the lake. to 5: There is no typical "Volkswagen" (people's car). Some drive Mercedes Benz, some Audi (which many people like). I used to drive Fords, but now have a Toyota. My next one will probably also be Japanese. I had a VW van once, but only for transportation and vacation purposes. Although "Volkswagen" translates as "people's car", it is no longer a real people's car manufacturer, and other brands have proven as reliable and sometimes cheaper. to 6: Soft drinks should be the right answer. Many people come there with kids, and they get thirsty and the parents don't want to get drunk in the presence of their kids, but they all get thirsty on their walk. So soft drinks actually sell better than beer, except in the beer tents, where main business time is in the evening, when the kids are at home with their grandparents or a nanny. to 7: There is no "German" food speciality, but many regional ones. I'm from Bavaria (the Oktoberfest State), and to me it's Hirschbraten mit Spätzle (wild deer with home-made Suebian noodles) and Leberkäs (spiced meat loaf with all ingredients except liver, as the name would imply, available fresh at any Bavarian butcher's store every morning). to 8.: kindergarten, rucksack, waldsterben -- well, I expected you to use "klimawandel" for "climate change" as well. I'm not sure if you already use "handy" for "mobile phone". Maybe you should. Whenever you hear a German talk about a "Handy" (in the correct English pronounciation), he means his cellphone. This pseudo-English word is a genuine German invention. Oh, and could you do me a favor? You're learning German. So whenever you're tempted to use something like "Ubermensch" (Nietzsche) or "Uber-Ich" (Freud), give it the dots: Über and über. I think even the "Fuhrer" has deserved them... [Just a few random thoughts.] --- edit: to 2: "Europark" does exist in Germany, contrary to what che says. The "Europark" is an industrial area located at Kleinmachnow, near Potsdam in the state of Brandenburg, and there at the address "Marktstraße 1" (1, market street) resides Ebay Germany.

I can only go to certain websites that will always work, but most will not.

I can only go to certain websites that will always work, but most will not.?
I am in a hotel in Austria using their in-room internet. For some reason, i can't connect to certain websites. For example, www.yahoo.com works great, but www.sherdog.com does not. Gmail works fine, but I can't connect to hotmail. I have pinged those domains from a command prompt and i get perfect replies from the sites that work and the sites that don't time out. www.sherdog is an interesting one because I lost 2 of the packets and 2 came back fine. This is consistent with what happens when I go there with the browser, the page loads sometimes, and sometimes not. www.twoplustwo.com works great, but forumserver.twoplustwo.com doesn't work at all, same when I ping. I think this has something to do w/ being in Europe, the IP they gave me is 10.59.1.94. I think there is an issue with my subnet mask and/or default gateway but I don't know enough about it to know. My settings are all an automatic. Please help me from here... ya, i can ping the sites i can get to, but i can't ping the sites i CAN"T get to...there is no proxy set up on my browser or computer, this issue is specific to the internet here at the hotel, i can take it across the street to a coffee shop and it works fine... this issue occurs with all 3 browsers on my computer, firefox, IE, and safari. here are the ping results so far www.imdb.com works fine www.yahoo.com works fine www.twoplustwo.com works fine www.myspace.com fails www.hotmail.com works fine www.live.mail.com (where hotmail instantly redirects) fails www.united.com fails www.lycos.com works fine www.google.com works fine www.craigslist.org fails www.wikipedia.org is intermittent www.expedia.com fails www.cnn.com fails www.foxnews.com works fine by "works fine" i mean i get 4 quick replies from the ping and the website loads as it should, by "fails" i mean the ping request times out 4 times and the webpage fails to load. I notice that a lot of the sites that won't load have an IP of 169.X.X.X however not always, i haven't picked up on the pattern yet...someone help me out here...thanks i don't think its a hotel policy because my colleague using the same network can go to any website just fine...i think its a glitch with the default gateway it automatically assigns me...which is 10.203.1.1 but it might be a DNS issue, i don't know...thats why I need help. put it this way, if you dont' think you know the answer and are just randomly guessing, you probably don't, I thank you for your input, but the person who knows what the issue is, will know EXACTLY what it is based on the info I've provided....thanks again

try to use btunnel.net for proxy
3 :
If you can ping the host then there's not problem with the ip settings, gateway or dns on your system. Check to see if your browser is set to use a proxy as it sounds as though there's a problem with actually getting the web page not with connecting to the remote host.
4 :
Is it that your hotel/hotel's ISP allow you to only access a limited number of websites (or only popular websites)?

If it is unpaid then you will have no problems. If it is paid, your employer will have to apply for you, they hate doing this as it is a ton of work. Sometimes the easiest is if they do not pay you but will give you a laptop or some cash at the end. Alternatively, they can give you work on campus. You can do that on your student visa.
