Lost in Translation:
The first time I traveled to Germany I thought the ‘ß’ in Straße was a type of ‘b’, so I would ask for directions to ‘Einstein Strabe’, and no one could understand me. During my first German lesson, 3 years later, I realized that ‘ß’ is actually a double ‘s’, so it would be Strasse, which means street.
