Anmelden

I assume that "anmelden" means "sign in" in German because it was on the same side that "sign in" and "entre la contrasena" appears on the top of my blog page.
See, I'm bilingual, so I have not had a real incentive to pay more attention to my love for languages. But here I find myself, not being able to hide under the cover of Latino bilingualism or slip under the radar as a member of the Latin American diaspora. I am foreign here. For the first time. I am completely foreign. And I'm American. So for the first time, I'm forced to squint at these words and handle the interesting looks and grapple with what seems like a whole bunch of consonants jumbled together.
Now where is the sign out button?
