Hey guys, I just got a registered mail from Europe and it is in German, I guess some kind of traffic violation ticket from our trip in September. I just want to know what it says, I can see they want me to pay some money. Anybody can help?

What if Germany and Alberta have a traffic fines reciprocity agreement, like BC and AB do?
Kidding, but that's the direction this interconnected world is going in.

I down loaded the app and took a picture of a vid on youtube of Japanese tourist talking in Banff and the translation came up as "What time are grizzly bears?".

that translation app must be next gen...it uses GPS location (i.e. Banff) in the algorithm to shape-shift the translation in accordance with the Park animals' schedules.

I found it a little funny that when I started learning a bit of German using Duolingo (great little app) it constantly used the phrase, "Bist du seine Mutter oder seine Schwester?"

Which means, "Are you his mother or his sister?"

Clearly a very valuable phrase in Germany.

Good app though. My fiance is learning with that and he is getting really good. He throws German around like a pro. Def earning extra points with the soon-to-be in-laws.
Duolingo also taught him "Meine Frau hat immer recht" (My wife is always right)
Definitely a great app ;-)
