The German Verbs App is slightly more useful than this one especially when it comes to the difficulty of learning German verbs. With the German language, the mentality seems to be, why invent new words when you can just stick existing ones together to describe the new concept. This cut and shut approach to language results in extremely long words such as Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschaftskapitän and makes learning it a tricky process for English speakers who are used to having more words at a shorter lengths.

As this is a new App, the G1 Market News community haven’t yet rated it but it is sure to be popular for linguists and tourists alike as it provides a really useful service.

They do things differently in France, I’m going to spare you the lazy cultural stereotypes of a ‘Year in the Merde‘ , but they do. Whereas in the UK, HTC’s very first Android powered handset was called the G1, in France it goes under the moniker of the HTC Dream.  This is a question of network rather than some anglo-French divide. The G1 is released via T-Mobile in the UK while in France the phone will be released via Orange.

The French definitely do follow in Britain’s foot steps in many cultural and historical ways, as with the G1and HTC Magic. For instance way back in 1689, Britain chopped the head off Charles the 1st and a mere 140 or so years later they did the same to poor old Louis the XVI. 5 months after the G1 was released in the UK, on March the 15th the phone will finally be released in France. It’s all about, the French gazing over the channel and seeing what a good thing Britain’s got going on and thinking, “I’ll have my self some of that” but in French of course.
