As a German. The way you phrase sentences is so similar in both languages at times that it becomes so damn easy to create a sentence which might sound reasonable at first glance, yet doesn't make any sense if you think about it and/or have a "deep" understanding of thr English language.

Thus so is so or deshalb and also is auch. Yep, it gets confusing.

Yes. Or even composition of words. I remember during a class discussion translating "Thanksgiving" as "Danksgebung" on the fly. At least I greatly entertained my professor—and I'll never forget "Erntedankfest".
