“Emma und Emil sind Dackel” – you just learned your first German sentence! It means, of course, that Emma and Emil are dachshunds. The Dackel is one of the most popular dog breeds in Germany. A dachshund called “Waldi” was the mascot of the 1972 summer Olympic games in Munich. See a picture of him here: Waldi
