If we go for a literal translation, neither ‘plate’ nor ‘bowl’ are german words. In German, ‘Platte’ means a thin flat piece of metal which is used for serving purposes. Also, the translation of ‘bowl’ is “Schussel”, but that is not used for serving soup. What actually is used for serving the soup is teller, which is something similar to a plate in visual. So, the practical translation would be, “ein Teller Suppe” or “einen Teller Suppe”. read less

I am looking out for language teacher (German). However, I am confused about how much should I expect to spend on tuitions. Also, how much training time is sufficient for a teacher to teach me Level A1. (For ex. Rs. 6000/3 months.etc) I understand, I need to practice as well in order to pass the course. But would appreciate a general info. From those who have done this in past.
I would never suggest you to join a tutor who is ready to teach u A1 or B1 in 6000 rupees. Reputed institute like Goethe is not a fool, which is charging high fees for all levels because this is very extensive...
