Some more Common German Vocabulary Words With Surprising Meanings
HELL (adj.)
If you’re not familiar with this word, it might make you think of Dante’s Inferno or, just a really, really bad situation. In fact, this word has quite the opposite meaning in German. Hell which means “bright,” “light,” “fair,” or “clear,” is a versatile adjective that can be used to describe many things: the weather, the amount light in a room, someone’s face, a color, etc. Don’t be surprised when... a German speaker describes the sky as hell!
Examples: ======== Es wird langsam hell. (Day is dawning. Literally: It is slowly getting light.) Das Gemälde ist hellblau. (The artist’s painting is light blue.)

Some more Common German Vocabulary Words With Surprising Meanings
der RAT (noun)
Perhaps one day one of your German friends will be in a pickle and he or she will ask you for a Rat. Do not chuckle! This friend, who may be having a work- or relationship-related problem, is not asking you for a vermin of the rodent variety! Rat, or “advice,” is one of the most common words in the German language in the context of friendship. 😊😊😊
...
Since it can also mean “counsel” or “council,” it is also useful when talking about government agencies; hence, Europäischer Rat (European Council).
Examples: ======= Maria sucht Rat bei ihren Freunden. (Maria is seeking advice from her friends.)
Der Bundesrat ist ein Verfassungsorgan Deutschlands. (The Federal Council is a constitutional body of Germany.)

"Wer rastet, der rostet." Literal translation: “He who rests grows rusty.”
This saying states that in order to improve your skills, you have to continuously work on them. It also warns that if you want to achieve anything, the most important thing is to take action. Too many undertakings never get accomplished and die because of lacking follow-through. So get off your behind before it gets rusty 😊👍

"Der Hunger kommt beim Essen" Literal translation: “Appetite emerges while eating.”
If motivation runs low, one of the hardest things to do is to get started. Yes, we want to learn German. Yes, we committed to this time for our studying session. But we just don’t feel like it. However, just do a little bit, study for just a minute. More often than not your will find that after working for a while and easing into the process, it actually becomes fun and you will want to conti...nue.
The literal translation - you will realize your hunger once you start to eat.

Common German Vocabulary Words With Surprising Meanings
BALD (adv.)
You are meeting a potential employer for lunch and he is running late. He texts you, “I’ll be there bald.” No, he did not leave his toupée at home! ... BALD, or “soon,” is a very common word in German, as well as another potential source of giggles for English speakers. Due to the nature of this adverb, it can also take on many related meanings like “shortly,” “before long,” and “in a hurry.” Learn this important word as bald as possible!
Examples:
Bis bald! (See you soon!)
Antworte mir so bald wie möglich! (Answer me as soon as possible!)

"Morgenstund hat Gold im Mund". Literal translation: “The morning hour has gold in its mouth.”
This might be the most weird-sounding translation on our list (which German is prone to... Some interesting German vocabulary to follow soon! 👍🙂). It is one of the ways Germans stress the importance of getting up early to get a head start on the day. Many inventors and creators of our time have been early risers who have used the first hours of the day as their most productive period. Highly recommended.👍👍😁

"Übung macht den Meister" Literal translation: “Practice is what makes a master.”
Mastery is hard to attain. It takes continuous honing of your skills to get really good at something. If you want to reach a high level of proficiency in anything, you will have to put in the time and practice. Whether that’s business savvy, physical skills or language proficiency, there are no shortcuts. As the equivalent English saying goes "Practice makes perfect" 🙂👍

"Aller Anfang ist schwer" Literal translation: “All beginnings are hard.”
No matter what you are undertaking in life, whether it’s learning a new language, embarking on a career or working on a project, if you start something from scratch, you will suck at it at first. That’s part of the natural order and the way it should be. Don’t worry too much about it and just keep at it until you get it right. 👍🙂
