Might be worth pointing out that "un-" is the prefix that negates words (unless you already did?) In that regard, contrasting "Herzlosigkeit" with "Unherzlichkeit" (cruelty vs unkindness) might be educational. Then again, maybe it's too specific.
Forming "Gesellschaft" from "Geselle" feels wrong. "Geselle" means "apprentice in a handicraft" quite specifically, or "compatriot" in a folksy, old-fashioned, or tongue-in-cheek way. Using it for "Gesellschaft" feels like a back-formation.
Upon completing each of these, the rest of the page below shifts down a little, I think that's unnecessary. There's enough room.
Hey, I have learned something! I never knew about the "silent dass"! I thought of Bavarian immediately, now I know that they're not just saying it weird.
Makes me wonder if you have made precautions for people without a German-layout keyboard?
"Bein" is also "bone" in German (in "Gebeine", but also in "Beinhaus" or "beinhart" or "Elfenbein", literally the "bones of the elves/fairies".)
Famously, in the Middle Ages, Germans were allowed to eat Beaver during Lenten season, because they live in the water and consequently must be fish, so the argument went. "-" key presses should also be ignored.
Side note: "Frohe" is the plural, as is "Weihnachten", strictly speaking. It's a fossilized Dative plural that has been around in this form long enough that people have started handling it like a singular. "Weihnachten" (lit. "nights of consecration") refers to more than one night
The same logic as for the space bar applies to the apostrophe - typing it out should be ignored here for convenience reasons.
This works, but we'd probably prefer "falsche Kleidung" or "unpassende Kleidung." "Schlechte Kleidung" somewhat implies "worn out" or, in "Er ist schlecht gekleidet", "unfavorable" or "bad taste."
"Stürmisch" is just "very windy," it does not imply a thunderstorm (this would be "Gewitter," or the associated adjective "gewittrig" meaning "localized/on-and-off thunderstorms") "Gewitter" is a fun word to dissect as well.
Maybe point out/reiterate in the notes the parallels between "habe gegessen" and "have eaten", with which it's possible to form an equivalent, grammatical sentence in English, even if it feels clunky.
Übrigens sehr zu empfehlen bei diesem Wetter sind die kalten Miso Ramen bei Kitakata im Westend
