That is as hard to read as arabic. Today's German is close to English as a reasonably skilled student can at least make out the meaning of a sentence and the subject matter. That old Sutterlin is difficult to even comprehend in my opinion.

These might be helpful also...

Creating Umlaut characters

While holding down the <Alt> key, type the following numbers on the numerical key pad (not the number keys across the top)

0220 = Ü
0252 = ü
0203 = Ë
0235 = ë
0196 = Ä
0228 = ä
0214 = Ö
0246 = ö

Here are a few more that can be useful.
225 = ß (double s)
155 = ¢
156 = £

Try experimenting with them. These are called ASCII high-order characters. They run from 1 thru 255 if I remember correctly.

Mark, when you study the characters and you start writing sutterlin/translating documents you'll find out that it's actually pretty easy...just a matter of getting used to it.

It's very useful when you have kids. I switched my signature to sutterlin and my oldest daughter just can't copy it! Lol

It looks tough, but with study and practice, just about anything can be done if you put your mind to it. I'm working on some fractur that a friend is trying to teach me, and I understand the challenge! Good luck
