~ The assessment system in German schools
German schools use a 6-point grading system, where scores go from 1 to 6 in descending order. Each score is linked to a verbal formulation.:
1 (ausgezeichnet or sehr gut)
2 (gut)
3 (befriedigend)
4 (ausreichend)
5 (mangelhaft)
6 (ungenügend)
Grades 1 and 2 are not marked; they are replaced by various kinds of verbal encouragement, encouragement for achieving certain goals, or comments.

German schools use a 6-point grading system, where scores go from 1 to 6 in descending order. Each score is linked to a verbal formulation.:
1 (ausgezeichnet or sehr gut)
— "excellent". It is awarded for special achievements in a particular subject in the lower grades and for achievements that meet particularly high requirements in all subsequent grades.
2 (gut)
— "good." It is assigned with academic performance that fully meets the requirements.
3 (befriedigend)
— "satisfactory". The average academic performance meets the requirements.
4 (ausreichend)
— "enough is enough". Despite the existing problems, academic performance generally still meets the requirements.
5 (mangelhaft)
— "not enough". Academic performance does not meet the requirements, but there is the necessary basic knowledge on the basis of which gaps can be eliminated in the future.
6 (ungenügend)
— "unsatisfactory". The grade level does not meet the requirements, and even the gaps in basic knowledge are so serious that they are not easy to eliminate.
Grades 1 and 2 are not marked; they are replaced by various kinds of verbal encouragement, encouragement for achieving certain goals, or comments.

As of December 2024, the railway consisted of 16,491 meters of track divided into nine sections: the Harz Mountains, the fictional city of Knuffingen, the Alps and Austria, Hamburg, America, Scandinavia, Switzerland, an exact replica of Hamburg Airport, Italy and South America.
About 1,230 digitally controlled trains and more than 12,000 wagons are on display at the exhibition.
About 4,300 houses and bridges, more than 10,000 vehicles, of which about 350 are self-driving, 47 airplanes and about 290,000 figurines have been designed in Wonderland.
The system has a repeating cycle of day and night lighting and almost 500,000 built-in LED lamps.

~ Learning conjunctions in German
Dass (what) is a conjunction in German that introduces a subordinate clause. It is used to transmit indirect speech or information.
Some features of using dass:
1) Accompanies certain verbs and phrases. These include meinen (to count, to believe), denken (to think), vermuten (to assume), glauben (to believe, to think) and others.
2) After the conjunction dass, the word order is strict: the verb comes last in the sentence.
3) It can also be in the first place: in this case, the subordinate clause is ahead of the main one. The sentence will be translated into Russian using "that".
Example:
Ich weiß, dass er heute kommt — I know he's coming today.

Let's taste Germany and make a Black Forest cherry cake!!

Preparation:
This is a dessert with whipped cream, cherries and chocolate sponge cake, which appeared in Germany in the 30s and gained worldwide fame and popularity.
Ingredients:
For cakes:
eggs — 3 pcs.
cocoa powder — 30 g (2 tbsp. l.)
sugar — 75 g
wheat flour — 75 g
butter is used to lubricate the mold.
For the filling:
fresh (or frozen) cherries — 200 g
cherry tincture (or liqueur) — 50 ml
starch — 1 tbsp
sugar — 1 tbsp
water — 2 tbsp
For the cream:
heavy cream (33% and above) — 200 ml
powdered sugar — 50 g
For decoration:
black chocolate — 30 g
cocktail cherries — 6-10 pcs.
Preparation:
Beat the eggs thoroughly with salt and sugar for more than 6 minutes until foam forms.
Mix the dry ingredients — flour and cocoa.
Sift the dry ingredients through a sieve into a bowl with the eggs, gradually gently stirring with a silicone spatula to keep the dough airy.
Pour the dough into a detachable baking dish, greased with butter, and place in an oven preheated to 180 degrees. Bake the sponge cake for about 30 minutes, until cooked.
Place the cherries in a saucepan with a thick bottom, add sugar and boil over low heat.
Dilute the starch in water, add to the cherries and boil over low heat for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Cool, mix with cherry tincture (or liqueur). Separate the cherries from the juice — the cherry juice will be an impregnation for the cake.
Cut the cooled cake lengthwise into two or three pieces (depending on the height of the cake). Soak the cakes with cherry impregnation.
Beat the heavy cream with powdered sugar until it increases in volume and thickens with a mixer or in a food processor.
Put some of the whipped cream on the bottom cake, smooth it over the surface and lay a layer of cherries.
Cover with a second cake. Coat the entire surface of the Black Forest cake with cream.
Decorate the chocolate cake with cherries with cream of whipped cream, grated chocolate and cocktail cherries.
Before serving, be sure to let the sponge cake brew and cool in the refrigerator.

Inflation in Germany in 1914-1923
was caused by the military deficit and the abandonment of the gold standard to finance military spending
In 1914, the German budget revenues from taxes and duties amounted to just over 2 billion gold marks, while expenditures exceeded 10 billion. The budget deficit was almost 80%. In 1915 and 1916, the German budget deficit soared to 95%. In 1917 and 1918, it decreased slightly, but only to 89 and 92%, respectively.
Some facts about the inflation of that period:
- By the beginning of the summer of 1922, the German money supply had increased 7-fold compared to the end of 1918, prices had increased 40-fold, and the dollar exchange rate had increased 75-fold.
- In the year since June 1922, the money supply has increased 90 times, prices 180 times, and the dollar exchange rate 230 times.
- From June 1 to November 15, 1923, the Deutsche mark depreciated 42 million times.
- On the last day of circulation of the paper stamp, one US dollar was worth 4.2 trillion of the depreciated currency.
- Prices were rising by an average of 25% per day, which is why salaries were paid every day, and sometimes twice a day.
In the summer of 1924, the rental stamp replaced the paper stamp, finally ending the era of hyperinflation.

One of the most important rules in the German language is, of course, stress.
In complex words (words consisting of two or more bases), the first part is ALWAYS stronger.
