Rumspringa - The Pennsylvania German word 'rumspringa' (also spelled rumschpringe) comes from the verb schpringe, meaning "to run" or "to skip," while rum is an adverb meaning "about" that is also used as a separable prefix, as in the case of rumschpringe.

Interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pen…
Pennsilfaani-Deitsch: The word "Dutch" here is left over from an archaic sense of the English word, which once referred to Germany as well as to the Netherlands. This archaism may have survived for various reasons; for example, the Pennsylvania German word for "German" is "Deitsch", which sounds similar to the English "Dutch". The bottom line, however, is that Pennsylvania German is a dialect of German, not Dutch.

German Language Study
In Germany, close to 6 million high school students study English. In American schools, 375,000 students study German; it is the third most popular language choice after Spanish and French. In 1997, German government sources provided some $3 million to German language projects in the United States. The funds went to teachers' continuing education programs and exchanges, seminars, the development of instructional aids, diploma certification, and academic competitions.
Resident language consultants from Germany, specialized in teaching "German as a Foreign Language," are attached to the education departments of six U.S. states -- California, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.. Supported by the German government, these experts assist state and regional groups with language program development and standards. The Goethe Institute Inter Nationes e.V., a non-governmental organization devoted to teaching German language and culture, maintains 7 cultural centers in the United States. In Germany, some 2,000 Americans attend intensive German language courses through the Goethe Institute.
