It's interesting speaking to German's about their language sometimes, and the way that as a language leaner I perceive words differently to how they do as a native speaker.
For instance consider the word for a wedding 'Hochzeit' - in order to remember the word I broke it down into 'hoch' (high) and Zeit (time) - so a wedding is a 'high time' of your life.
Some Germans seem to have never viewed the word in terms of it's components, and this is a revelation to them!
