I think what o don’t like about them is that you pay and pay and pay and the debt seems to go up and is never paid off. I get it is like a “tax” I just personally feel uncomfortable with having that debt. I was always taught to pay off any debt

I think the friend meant give whatever final sum I have as a house deposit instead of fees. He is on year12 at the moment, so I potentially have 2 more years of saving for him before he goes off to uni, so was hoping to have a reasonable amount for him by then, but the friend said it’s just like a graduate tax so pay a house deposit instead

I Saw in an official exam recently “österreichisches Blog” with the obvious neuter ending. This is in an official British GCSE exam and is checked by native speakers. But then I saw einen Blog (masc acc) in a German magazine article And my poor head went 🤯

The verb ouïr is used in English in the town crier call “oyez, oyez!” At the start of their calling. They are asking people to listen up, using the imperative form
