The funny thing about german is you can make new compound words to describe something. It could be a bit nonsensical without context but it should translate roughly to “homeland-retribution-pride”.

Heimvergeltungsstolz?

Definitely learn the articles along with the word. The lack of this in certain learning apps like Duolingo is a major shortcoming.

Also related, I would recommend memorizing verbs with their prepositions. Bitten um, Denken an, Sich freuen auf/über

I’ve been asking myself that question for years. My wife and I thought the best solution for us was to leave the country. We don’t have a good outlook for the future of the US. We moved to Germany last spring and have been enjoying a healthier and better quality of life. It’s not easy but it is very rewarding. The cost of living here is less than half of what we were paying in the US. Groceries, rent, utilities, insurance, everything is cheaper except eating out at restaurants (that costs pretty much the same). For what it’s worth, we moved from Denver to Frankfurt.
