Found this in the school hallways. I don’t know German
Fun fact: if you have a smartphone, Google Translate is free and has a camera mode. Wife and I use it all the time when captions aren’t translated (we watch a bit of foreign media).
I have an iPhone, it’s not just on Android.
man, that’s triggering some instense school PTSD flashbacks.
It is a piece of Goethe’s “Erlkönig”:

Edit: should be noted that whoever wrote it, has either a very very bad handwriting, or made some typos
Whoever wrote this was probably still in school and I would guess in a North American one because of the cursive they wrote in. I think they also copied the text, badly, and that explains the mistakes.
Correct, we live in the U.S.
the type of cursive is actually the same I learned in germany as a kid
When and where did you go to school? That capital A that looks more like the lowercase one I’ve only ever seen from people from North America.
Another European here to chime in that l also learned to write capital As like that in cursive.
The rs, fs and ts don’t look like how we were taught though.
They’re spelling mistakes when not typed.
Edit: apparently this is really bad google translation.
