I'm going to an all inclusive resort in Mexico this weekend. I am pretty good at Spanish. I was just wondering if it was rude to speak Spanish to the employees. I know I'm in Mexico but most people speak to them in English. Just wondering.

I was wondering what the LITERAL translation of the word "Fuhrer", with the 2 dots over the "u", is.

I know it's what Hitler was called by Nazi party members.

Did the Nazis coin the phrase, or was it a word in circulation prior to Hitler's rise to power? Is it still in use today?

Vous êtes un diseur de bonne aventure faux qui vend des mensonges. Le fait de vous croire quittés a n'importe quels amis parce que vous dont. Je bascule croient youre la vente de votre bébé pour l'argent de médicament au Taiwan.

Yesterday I read a sentence in a book:
Kim is a person that everyone who knows really likes a lot.
Is this sentence grammatical and natural?
