Welcome to our website dedicated to everything that is American! If you ever have a German penpal, you will need to know every word you see here. Your penpal will have lots and lots of questions about the USA and you can come here to find what you need when you write back. Make sure to tell your penpal about Adler, Raumfahrtprogram, and best of all Amerikanisches Essen. If you are ever a tourguide for German tourists, you will also want to fill them in on these words so their trip will be more enjoyable.

Have you ever seen an ad to protect eagles? Well, if so, remember that because it will help you remember that eagle in German is Adler.

Any person who taps the nose of a bear while it's sleeping is very TAPfer. Tapfer means brave.

Scientists are pretty sure lobsters don't know how to talk. But maybe they can hum! Lobster is Hummer in German.

Whales can't participate in elections, but that doesn't mean the word election can't look like them. Wahl is vote in German.

Most monuments are larger than a den you would find in an average home. However, den starts the word for Denkmal - the word monument in German.

Sometimes a circus is so much fun that it makes you feel zany. Zany circus. Maybe that's why circus in German starts with a Z. In German it's Zirkus.

Musik is like music in English, but you have to change the last letter. In German it should be k, not c.
