my mom is full German and my dad is full America...i was born in Germany and me and my mom moved over to States when i was 2 1/2....im in German 4 at my Saturday German school...but i would really like to up my level some more...
i want to be able to get to the normal level of a 15 yr old in Germany...i speak some German w/ my mom at home but we dont do it much when my dads at home because he either makes fun of us or gets mad because he feels left out...so the only time we speak alot of German is when he is on business trips...anybody got an idea on how to make me more fluent in German??

What's the difference between "bis" and "zu" in German? Because don't they both mean "to"?

This is one of the most beautiful languages around, and it will be extinct in fifty years. The government doesn't protect like Gaelic and Welsh is protected... Our generation (20-30 years old) still speaks it, but those after us speak more dutch than something else... Don't you think that's a shame ? Is it even any use that children are still taught this language ? I think it is, what about you ?

as impolite as to disconnect without saying anything.."

Can someone please translate this to Spanish? Thanks

There has been a lot of hurt in our relationship, and I know you are going through a hard time right now and I will always be here for you. But I also want to be your friend too, so I ask you to please not cause me any more pain. This year was the hardest year of my life, and I may have not suffered in my life, but my heart has and it honestly cannot break anymore.

One of my old German handbooks say Germans reserve du for very few occasions. But when I speak in German they never want to use Sie(formal) but informal Du(informal).

Please only answer if you are native or have lived in Germany or other German speaking countries for some time.
