I have this German booklet that I have to work on. I've done all the questions except for these because I don't really know: 1. Name 5 neighbouring countries in German - Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, France, Switzerland, Austria, Czec Republic and Poland Can you please translate 5 of these into German? 2. In which state or city would you find the Europark? 3. Why did people think Mad King Ludwig wsa mad? - Was it because he spent huge amounts of money on his castles? 4. Also, how did he die? - I know he was found in a lake with Dr. Bernhard, and some think he could be murdered. Any ideas on this? 4. A German classical composer and where they lived? (other than Johann Sebastian Bach) 5. What is the people's car of the Germans? - Is it Volkswagen? 6. What do people mostly drink in the Oktoberfest? 7. What are two German food specialities? 8. Name two German words that we now use in English. Please help, and name some sources of your information, thanks in advance.

1) Dänemark, Die Niederlande, Belgien, Luxenburg, Frankreich, Die Schweiz, Österreich, Tschechien (Tschechische Republik is fine too), Polen. 2) is difficult, because there is no "famous" Europark - there is a famous Europapark, though. That's located in a town called "Rust". 3) He was declared Mad (without examination) by a couple of Doctors. It is very likely that this was part of a plan to bring him down (the next day he was deprived of his powers). 4)He drowned in the "Starnberger See". This happend during a walk with Professor Bernhard von Gudden (who is one of the doctors who declared him mad) - He said that it was suicide - but speculations do not cease even today. 5)It's a strange question; Volkswagen means people's car if translated - but Volkswagen today is a multi billion dollar company and not a car. 6) Beer from very large glasses called "Maß" 7) The other answers are good. 8) I'Ve also heard "Ersatz" and well, what the others said.
