If you are a German learner and want a good excuse to study Klingon, this site could be very helpful!
Well, I'm not considering to do that ... for the time being ...

In this video, from the series "Geist & Gehirn" by Dr. Manfred Spitzer, it is argued that an investment in the school system to improve the education of people with worst results could bring in the long term a HUGE effect in the economy.
Unfortunately, when I was in Germany last July there was a series of demonstrations and activities from Kindergarten people claiming better salaries and work conditions. Now, we see this Chicago teachers strike. Here in Brazil we have just ended a huge national strike in our federal universities, with some results but not the essential ones.
As far as I know, teachers' salaries in France and Italy have been going down during the last decade or more.
I'm quite sure that in the future our generations will be blamed about this more than anything else.

More on etymological connections: The German word schön (beautiful, nice) shares the same Indoeuropean root keu-, skeu- (meaning to notice, observe, feel; to hear) with the Latin words caveo, cautum (be careful, take care), which are the roots for some Portuguese words, even some family names, one of which I do bear.

An unexpected technological improvement comes from ios6 and its new built-in German dictionary. A good extra stimulus for my daily news reading.
The definitions come with very useful usage examples. Unfortunately, there is no way to modify inflected entries.
Edit: Of course, it is no big deal and Apple could have done it before. But then, that is why it was unexpected, from my point of view.

I've bought "Nachrichten aus der ideologischen Antike" by Alexander Kluge. Unfortunately, subtitles only in Portuguese. So, my plan is to see all nine hours first with German audio only, then, later, see it again with Portuguese subtitles.
---Spoiler---
I know that there possibly are some "Game of Thrones" fans here, but it has some serious internal logic problems. For instance, everybody would know if your family has only blondes or brown or red-haired people, even more so when family is a big issue in your culture. Anyway, I'm enjoying it and will see all first ten episodes again, but I'm not planning to read this book in the future, not even in German (or any other TL).

Fremdsprachekentnisse
Ein Blick auf die Entwicklung zeigt, dass der Begriff der Europäischen Union sehr wichtig ist, obwohl es noch viele Probleme gibt. Das heißt, dass auch das Problem der Fremdsprachekentnisse zwischen EU-Bürger verstanden werden müss.
Als erste Schritte muss man wissen, wie viele EU-Bürger schon eine Fremdsprache kennen, und welche sind die Fremdsprache, die diese Bürger am meisten kennen.

In Oktober 2001 wurden Daten zu der Entwiklung der Einnahmen, die Studenten von Westdeutschland und Ostdeutschland verdienen, von Deutsches Studentenwerk veröffentlicht. Die Daten enthalt die Informationen von vier verschiedenen Jahren, und zwar 1991, 1994, 1997 und 2000.
Die Grafik zeigt, dass es eine stetige Erhöhung der Einnahme gibt. In dieser Zeit war der Ertrag der westdeutschen Studenten immer größer als der Ertrag der ostdeutschen Studenten. Allerdings steigt in diesem Zeitraum der Ertrag der ostdeutschen Studenten fast doppelt als der Ertrag der westdeutschen Studenten.
Es ist auch bemerkbar, dass die Vergrößerung der Ertrag immer weniger war. Die Vergrößerung der Ertrag der ostdeutschen Studenten war von 1991 bis 1992 im Durchschnitt 150 Euro im Monat, aber von 1997 bis 2000 war es nur 35 Euro im Monat.

This is just to share with you the great feeling of a real and valuable use of my German knowledge, translating a letter from a XIX century relative. Our family has quite a lot of these letters and we hope to read them all, giving these persons not only a name and a list of events, but relationships, desires, fears, opinions etc.
