Deutsch Sprechen

You can understand why German is such a difficult language to learn when you see words like:

Donaudampfschiffahrtsgesellschafts-kapitaenskajuetenklinenputzergehilfe

That's ONE word.. 70 letters long!

Here is what it means, it is the title of an occupation:
"Assistant furnace operator for the cabin of the captain on a navy steam ship on the Danube river"
