Okay, makes more sense on the "W" versus "V" sounds now, but now "F" and "V" will sound the same to me unless it is a hard versus soft sounds thing. Now another thing I am noticing is some words sounding the same but are two different words example "sie" and "sehe" both sound the same but are two different words or "liebe" and "lebe" . The second example is because of a song I like called "Lebe deinen Traum" and I always get confused because until looking at the title I thought it was "Liebe deine Traum" , and couldn't figure out why it kept translating to "Live your Dream" and not "Love your Dream", yeah I don't think (and I could be wrong) that there are many words like that where they sound the same but are two different words with two different meanings. I know English can get confusing with words that are spelled the same but pronounced differently and have different meanings. Then we do have words like "there", "their", and "they're" all spelled differently, all sound the same, and all have different meanings. So English can do this too. But it seems more confusing in German.

Also you didn't insult my intellegence. I do know (well read) that German has 13 vowels, English has only 5 and sometimes "Y" can become a vowel (though I can't give any examples of that). I haven't learned yet which letters are vowels and which are consonants. I should probably look that up.
