A mother accuses her daughter of doing something bad. She says: "What bad thing are you up to? What are you hiding from your own mother?" The daughter says: "I'm not hiding anything. It is called 'privacy.'"
你 幹 了 甚 麼 壞 事 了? 連 你 媽 都 瞞 zhe.
我 沒 瞞 zhe. privacy.

How do you write "privacy" in Chinese?
Do you say --
I want a little privacy.
Give me some privacy.

I mean a comprehensive or integrated site that teaches you all about the German language: vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. I need a site that starts from the beginner's level to the intermediate level or the upper-low level. And I need it to be a free site, too.

Four ways of saying "zero" or "nothing" in Japanese:
Two from Chinese (rei, mu)
One from English (zero)
And one referring to the shape of "0" (maru)

Which do you use in telephone numbers?
Thanks!

I'm going to learn both languages eventually (for fun) but don't know which one to start with, so humour me and vote BUT give a reason for your opinion. The best-argued answer gets the 10 points, but can't guarantee it'll have any major bearing on my decision.

In case you find it relevant - I'm Norwegian, live in Spain but will probably be moving to the UK this fall, and have taken some German in school so along with the similarities between Norwegian and Dutch that makes Dutch a much easier language to learn for me (besides the obvious fact that Hungarian is different to any language I know)... But I'm torn between the exotic and the familiar.
