What does ach der Lieber fraulein mean?
Where did you get this from? It seems to be incomplete and doesn’t make a lot of sense like this, sorry.
Edit:
Someone just suggested that you might mean “ach du liebes Fräulein” which is a way to express surprise/shock. It sounds a little old-fashioned, though. You can translate it as “my goodness” or “good gracious” etc.

Hello! I need to interview a native German speaker for class. Could you publish this ask in case any followers are interested? /// Ich muss einer deutschen Person interviewen. Ich möchte ein Interview über Bildung in Deutschland machen, aber ich kann etwas anders machen. Es würde gut sein, wenn Sie in Uni sind oder Uni graduiert haben. Ich möchte Google Hangouts für das Interview nutzen. Bitte senden mir eine Message, wenn es okay Sie interviewen sein!
Sure!
We chose the most difficult German words we could find and asked people learning German to pronounce them. Here's what happened, with pronunciation tips.
The video shows foreign speakers trying to pronounce a few difficult German words (which is quite adorable). The text and audio recordings explain the correct pronunciation.
Ich liebe deinen Blog! What are the cutest compound German words in your opinion? Schönen Tag noch
Thanks! I’m afraid I don’t perceive a lot of German compound words as cute because, as a native speaker, nothing about them sticks out to me until I think about them.
I really like “Glühbirne” (light bulb / glühen = to glow, Birne = pear). But before I read comments by non-native speakers pointing out how funny/adorable this word is, it was just a completely normal everyday word for me. I never even thought about how literal it is in its meaning.
