Reminder to self. Don't bother with the word abgehen while in Germany.
In the UK we don’t say kindergarten at all, for early years education it’s nursery and pre-school, but everyone knows what kindergarten is because of American TV culture! I like ‘handy’.It is. It's one of the many words English borrowed from German, along with, uh, schadenfreude, kindergarten, glockenspiel, blitzkrieg, rucksack... but at least you guys use those words right. Germans tend to borrow English words and then use them completely wrong. Like, our mobile phones for instance. We call them "Handy". Probably because they fit a hand nicely.
