Hello Insiders,
I was looking at my list of words to share with you today. I was undecided which animal to use, so they all are going at the same time. There isn’t going to be any sentences for each animal, just a list. An interesting thing that I did in making this list was to look up the “High German” translation. Some were quite similar or the same and a few were quite different.
These below were shared with me by an elderly gentlemen. He also did his best to spell them for me as he would spell them. However for a few, the spelling in the “High German” seemed a better fit so I used that.
Enjoy

Schildkröte – turtle
