 If your looking for mother and father names in german well its pretty much german already, it sounds like your mumbling

Mutter - Mother
Vatar -  Father
Schwester- sister
Tochter- daughter
Bruder- brother
Sohn - son
Hund - dog
Katze - cat


just words for the future....

Alot of german words sound similar to what english is. I agree Sportsdude, German is a very harsh and gutteral sounding language.

  I'll make them today and take pics of each step. Don't get jealous of the kitchen, its got an island. Its soo big. The old house's kitchen was the size of a walk in closet.

Oh and to continue the German words..

Great Grandma - Große Oma
Great Grandpa - Großer Opa
Uncle - Onkel
Aunt - Tante

lol I'm having fun with this brings back memories.  Keep your culture alive its the greatest thing you can do in my opinion.  If your of german descent learn some german, chinese learn chinese, italian learn italian. You feel apart of something then.


If your having trouble pronouncing the ß here's the german alphabet and how to pronounce it.
