Almost Right, Except for One Detail in German
In “Almost Right, Except for One Detail,” you will learn to acknowledge a successful school-day plan or achievement while naming one specific factual exception. Practise außer dass with the finite verb at the end, and distinguish it from es sei denn, which introduces a condition that would invalidate the broader statement. Keep the main message positive: one small snag does not make the whole experience unsuccessful.
