Ape (noun): A member of the Hominoidea superfamily of primates.

Ape (verb): To imitate in every aspect.

Are apes so called because they are seen to imitate humans? Or is something that 'apes' something else so described because it behaves like an Ape?

Or are the two meanings totally unrelated?

I learned German in Elementary School, and so it is engrained in me. I don't get to use it that often, as it is slowly fading.

Anyone in the same situation. I'm in Milwaukee, and would want s/o local.

no swearing, just everyday things that family members and lifelong friends would say to each other when greeting, thanking, chatting, drinking ("cheers" in greek?), anything ordinary-like.

I know this is silly, I'm going to the US in Jan or Fab of next year to study English as a second language, I think my English is not that bad, I understand any American movie or series without translation, but the problem is that I feel like when I go there I won't be able to understand what people are saying and that it would seem like a totally different language when I be there, will I really experience that?.
I text-chat with some native english speakers and I understand everything they say to me, but I've never spoken to them by microphone because I afraid that I won't understand them.

so my question is will it be hard for me to understand when people talk to me there or is it just a false feeling?
I have another question, do people in Maryland and Washington DC have a southern accent or a northern accent?, how about Virginia?

thanks in advance.
