German Facts
Nouns and most words which function as nouns in German are written starting with a capital letter
German is able to heap words upon one another to create long compound words: whereas in English compounds are formed 'openly' (with spaces)
Germany is spoken primarily in Germany, Austria, Liechtenstein, Luxembourg and Switzerland, as well as in some border villages of Denmark - though German-speaking communities have survived in places such as Hungary, Russia and Kazakhstan

Glossary
Die Sinne

Schmecken
Manche mögen gerne süßes Essen, andere lieber salziges Essen. Was die Menschen gerne schmecken, das ist ganz unterschiedlich. Aber wo sie es schmecken ist bei allen gleich: auf der Zunge und im Hals. Jeder Geschmack wird an einer anderen Stelle wahrgenommen.
Sehen
Eigentlich ist das Auge eine Kugel. Natürlich sieht man von außen nur die vordere Seite. Diese Vorderseite ist wie eine durchsichtige Türe. Durch dieses Fenster kommt das Licht herein, die Farben, Blumen, Buchstaben - alles, was wir sehen können.
Hören
Unser Ohr kann mehr als nur Geräusche empfangen. Es steuert auch den Gleichgewichtssinn. Wenn dieser nicht mehr richtig funktioniert, ist uns schwindelig und wir fühlen nicht mehr, wo oben und unten ist.
Riechen
Die Nase sitzt mitten im Gesicht. Der Geruchssinn hilft auch beim Schmecken. Jeder, der schon einmal Schnupfen hatte, weiß, dass das Essen weniger gut schmeckt. Es gibt viele verschiedene Gerüche. Parfüm riecht zum Beispiel gut, aber Müll stinkt.
Fühlen
Überall auf der Haut gibt es Stellen, die Berührungen an den Kopf weitergeben. Auch Kälte und Wärme ist etwas, das wir fühlen können. Blinde Menschen, also Menschen die nicht sehen können, und taube Menschen, also Menschen, die nicht hören können, fühlen oft besonders gut.

Hull
A large town in North Yorkshire, Harrogate forms a conurbation with Knaresborough, the population of the combined urban area being around 85,000. Historically Harrogate was primarily a hub for agriculture and the woollen industry. Nowadays the town is used as a commercial, conference and exhibition centre, owing mainly to the vast array of hotels built during the period before the First World War when Harrogate was a popular getaway for the English élite. Harrogate also acts as a dormitory town for commuters working in Leeds and Bradford, and is also the site of regionally renowned traditional eateries, Betty's Tea Rooms.
