Punctuation differences in Languages.
EDIT: Fixed retarded title typo
Such as in German, where two things will probably trip me up.
First, using "zu" ("to"...sort of) sometimes uses a comma in the sentence...that's not supposed to be read as a pause like normal. Like in "Wir beginnen, Deutsch zu lernen". This means "We're beginning to learn German" and should be read without a pause at all. Except I keep reading it as "Wir beginnen (pause), Deutsch zu lernen".
Second, if my German textbook is correct, imperative (command) sentences always have an exclamation point (if you care, they're formed from the infinitive of the verb and the exclamation point). Such as "Geh!" which means "Go!". Or "Lass geh!" (Let's go!). This, from what I've read, is always done. Even if the speaker is whispering. And I always read it as a shout. I may be wrong, however.
