About Maine in German!
Guten Tag!
This website is about Maine words
in German. We think it's important to learn these words because you might
need them in the future. If you went to Germany and somebody asked, "Where
are you from and what is it like there?", you can tell them. Also, if you
take German next year and you get Maine words in German, you would know!
So, enjoy our site and we hope you learn something!

- TIPS -
Tip #1:
The word boat in German is easy to
remember. Just erase the 'a' and put another 'o'. It should look like the
word boot in English. Remember to always wear boots when you are in a boat.
Tip#2:
For the word snowflake remember that
"Schneeflocke" and snowflake both look almost the same. They both start
with an "s" and have two syllables.
Tip#3:
The word moose is easy to remember
because an elk is a kind of moose and elk looks like the word Elch in German.
Tip#4:
Harbor and Hafen look almost alike.
They both have an "ha" at the beginning.
Tip#5:
To say fish in German, just add a
'c' in there and you get Fisch.
Tip#6:
State and Staat are almost the same,
but you probably already guessed that.
Tip#7:
Lobster and hummer both end in an
"er". When you are eating a lobster you hum, or you can just name the lobster
hummer before you cook it.
