  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Thank You so much! You have been so helpful! I guess I do not do and adequate enough job saying that in German. Another question for you guys. What are the differences between a German, Austrian, and Swiss accent? I am going to Bonn, DE next year and was wondering if I learn to speak fluent German will I be able to pick up on those with accents.
Thank You!

they sure are...but even understanding an Austrian can be very hard if you only speak German :)

it's kind of like the difference between british and american English :) if you are a native speaker you can understand the other but if you are not it can get quite hard....

Austrian German has it's own words and even a few grammar rules of it's own....but everyone here speaks standard German if needed to :)
