I chose this shower curtain because I have a very small bathroom that has no windows; I thought the white curtain would help brighten things up. It certainly does brighten up my tiny space, and it's a lot of fun to learn and practice new words in the shower -- I'm always noticing a word I didn't see before. This, of course, does slow down my morning routine a bit. I am disapointed, however, that many of the words are the same in English as in German -- what's the fun in that? "Rugby", for example, is just "das rugby", "November" is "November"...there are a number of "translations" like this. I also think the curtain could be a smidgen wider -- from left to right -- but it does fit my average size tub.
