SSC: Erwähnt nicht den Krieg!

[muckefuck]

I had my first German tutoring session in over a month today, at the Blind Faith Café. In the middle of reviewing adjective endings, I had one of my embarrassing and all-too-typical brainfarts and couldn't remember whether it was "das Reich" or "der Reich". So I did what I usually do and started rummaging in my head for fixed phrases which would settle the matter without me having to crack open the dictionary again. Suddenly I hit one and yelled out:

"Heim ins Reich!"

I've mentioned before that the guy I'm tutoring is a rabbi, right?

Oy gevalt. You looking like the embodiment of Balder probably didn't help matters any. I hope you did explain, or did he attempt to hide behind the soup? Gwyn

Ich erwähnte es einmal, aber ich denke, dass ich weg mit ihm erhielt

ahahaha, babelfish is no use here. Alas, my German is long gone. Maybe ...ich denke, dass sie beachteten nicht?

bingo, thank you. Alas for my German - denken and glauben lost, no less.
