At the time, no. It wasn’t in my plans at all. Now I think about it sometimes.

It was a study-abroad year and the year ended. I never had the permission to stay and work.

American here who studied German for eight years, graduated with a minor in German, and lived there for one year:

I’m not sure how to properly translate this children’s book.

The long word breaks into easily-understood pieces:

“help-ability-extinguish-group-travel-thing”

But in order to get a proper concept back out of it you need to know what order the pieces go together in and I don’t know that.

travel-thing is a vehicle.

help-ability is emergency services

Beyond that I have to guess — Is group-travel-thing a crew vehicle, making this a crew vehicle for extinguishing?

Or maybe extinguish-group is a fire crew and this is a vehicle for fire crews?

Either way I feel like the author is using a lot more word-parts than they should have to for what is (clearly in the picture) better described as a pump truck.
