Going back away to when I learnt German at school the word käse always got me confused with kuchen - cheese and cake respectively...I eventually came up with a system to remember them by - cakes in the kitCHEN and dotty moulds (ä) on the cheese. Unfortunately I never had occassion to eat either when I was in Germany frown

Sort of confusing, but thanks anyhow. I guess the English
translation loses in the translation.

And the site is probably far more understandable to you
to begin with. I was lost totally, but I did translate
it mechanically and tried.

Luke...you don't have to translate manually. I have a function in web browser that I click and it will translate page for me. I don't remember where I got it but it should be easy to find similar.

Sounds good, but for me to install it, is like the last
thing you sent. Will take awhile.
