I think I've mentioned before that the German book I picked is a little bit crap. So I need some help from anyone who has a functional understanding of the German language (native or studied).
Q. 'There' seems to have two translations. Da and dort. How do I know when to use which, or are they interchangeable?
ex: Wo ist die Schule? Die Schule ist da. Wo ist Doktor Keller? Doktor Keller ist dort.
The book seems to use them interchangeably, but if that is so, which one is the preferred word?
Q. Freundin. It's translated as girlfriend in the book. Is this girlfriend as in buying roses for her on Valentine's Day, or girlfriend as in the form of friend used when referring to any female friend? Or is it both?
