Ok, thanks. I was wondering, if in German the normal nouns are with the capital letter, maybe the name of person are without. Doubt resolved.

Well, there is one exception: For example you write a letter and you want to say: "...could you please..:".-> "...könnten Sie bitte..." . Here is the "Sie" spelled with a capital letter because you talk to someone. I don't know how it's going with the others... but this one is 100 percent this way.

There only two „big“ german-speaking countries...
But if you have fun...ok...why not??? 
Viel Spaß beim Deutsch-lernen *g*

I didn't understand why one of the sled dogs said ,Gesundheit´ in the first path and not bless you...because I didn't know that you can say ,Gesundheit´too in English 
Fox' posting was:

What do you mean with ,the others'?
The adress to people who are not good friends or acquaintances must be ,Sie' and ,Ihre'...etc.
Maybe you know the German spelling in Germany and Austria is new since 1996 and you do not longer write ,Du' (you) big in letters...you can write it small now.

Or do i missunderstand something?

Yes that's funny.
But I don't understand, why the English-Speakers take so silly German words into the English. Like ,Rinderpest' , ,Kindergarten' or ,Blitzkrieg' and ,Hinterland'...

Well you should use simple words of word forms... Like instead of "gerne" use "gern". This is because then new students re-use it inapropriately. First strong and simpler- then one can move to slang-like additions to words. Also, explain about pronounciation, many languages do not have sounds like in german.
Learning suggestion for Nominativ, Akusativ, Dativ and Genitiv: use the Eselsohr... Meaning you make up a sentence to remember the cases, makes it easier for many people.
Example:
Tanja nimmt den Apfel dem Dinosaurier des Jungen weg.
Tanja takes the boy's dinosaur's apple.
