Der Apfel

Telling myself that I'd understand my Mac in any language, one of the first things I did after learning the very basics of German grammar, was to switch my Mac to German. In general I know what all the menus and buttons are, it doesn't matter if they're called something different. I'd switch it back occasionally if there was something I didn't understand, or to learn a new application. That's how I learnt words like Systemeinstelungen and Bearbeitung before important words like käse.

Later I did the same thing for French.
