Sherry; I wouldn't put too much faith in Babelfish. Another poster and I were communicating in a different language once, when a third party (a friend) jumped in with his translation (from babelfish) of the conversation. It was hysterical, but inaccurate enough to where you couldn't even get the gist of the conversation. If you're going to travel, may I suggest taking along a MAN who speaks the language. <ggg> cb

stammer and stall and then finally say, here! this place and point
Pointing works, money is better.

But from now on I'm gonna be extra-sweet to you Ms.SFx so you never do what you did to us today.
6.8 on the richter, and I thought that was from just your looks,
from now on I'll just 'xplain these things in detail and maybe a sacrifice or two. So I'll leave you with these few to ponder as I pick up all my books, busted antique lacquered Russian dishes (sniff), broken southwestern pottery,
pictures and half of the kitchen dumped on the floor,
garage trashed, please don't do that again, please don't make the ground shake and earth move. I didn't deserve that for such slight malfeasance on my part I believe. Thanks
I hear we won't get any aftershocks if I behave.

Die Weinkarte bitte
dee VYN-kart-e BIT-e
The wine list, please.

ihre zerklüfteten Berge sind atemberaubend.
EE-reh tsair-KLUHF-teh-ten BAIR-geh zint AH-tem-beh-ROW-bent
Your rugged mountains take my breath away.

Tut mir leid, aber Ich kriege Pickel von Akkordeontönen
TOOT meer LEIT, ah-bair eekh KREE-geh PEEK-kell fohn ahk-KOHR-day-ohn-TUH-nen
The sound of an accordion gives me hives.

Now I must go back and pick up my things.

Evening lesson Ms.Fox:
Just in case you are caught in any of these situations-
The first two for those that protect and serve:

just asking:
Was scheint das problem zu sein, herr Wachtmeister?
Vahs sheint dahs proh-BLAIM tsoo zien, hair VAHKTHT-mei-stair?

and thanking:
Danke, daß Sie mich in Ihrem Striftenwagen mitnehmen
DAHN-keh, dahss zee meekh in EE-rem SHTREI-fen-VAH-gen MIT-nay-men

and for that time when shopping late:
Wann schließen Sie?
van SHLEES-en zee?

and when you didn't quite make it back to your home away from home:
Wenn Du nichte dagegen hast, Mein Kürbis, schlafe ich auf dem Sofa.
Venn doo NEEKHTS dah-GAY-gen hast, mein KER-biss, SHLAH-feh eekh owf daim ZOH-fah.
well I better tell you what this says just in case:
If you don't mind, my pumpkin, I'll sleep on the sofa.

(you know, when you see the sights.)
just trying to be helpful...

others that know should help tooo....don't you think?
enjoy.
