  • German class taught me fünf nach sechs.
    Or if you want a real nighrmare
    6:35
    fünf nach halb vor 7
    5 past half an hour to 7… It’s in my textbook people look at me funny if I use it.
    British English I still haven’t figured out if half 7 is 6:30 or 7:30. Halb 7 in German is 6:30
    Living in Germany coming from north America doing a lot of work with England I miss a lot of meetings that are at 17:30… Either I screw up the 12 hr change and can’t remember if the said 7 or 17 and then where the half hour falls before or after.
