Fun to Learn a few Germans ;)

When i Learn something New, i Try to Look for a Way to have FUN :)
It Helps me to Remeber what i've learned from.
i Memorized some numbers,words and phrases for a waitress in German.
Since i Wanted to communicate with (esp) little kids sometimes, and also to Show my Willingness to Learn the language :)
i Tried to learn some more as much as possible ;)
When i was memorizing the phrase "How are you?" in German...
it Sounded like "Bill Gates" to me ;)
so... Once after i thought that i memorized it, i Used IT to a little kid.
and the boy responded "good" in German, so i Thought that he got my German :)
Next week, i met his mom and told her about my German little chat with her boy.
Then she told me, her son Wondered why someone told him "Bill Gates" the otehr day LOL i Laughed about myself :D
*"Be(e) gates" must be closer sound?!

Another word "Aubergine" the german word means "eggplant" in English.
on that day... one of the three free/little dishes were eggplant' pickles.
the color was dark blue, so many guests who ordered "today's meat/fish special"
asked a waiter and waitresses "What it was"
Since it sounded like "Over-Jeans" to me, i said so to some guests ;)
Some of them Understood what I was Trying to say, and some Wondered and Figured out the meaning later :)
I Explained it to Some of them sometimes :)
It was FUN to Learn some NEW Words in German... i WISH that i Could Learn IT Well and Sooner... but, it was HARD! it's such a Smart Language :)
