Answer 1

@ Alwin

lokal can be used as an adjective as well as a noun. The noun  (spelled with a capital L) would in fact mean pub, but used as an adjective it does mean local....

Wikipedia said:

lokal, Adjektiv (zu lateinisch locus): Ort, Platz, Stelle; Bedeutung: örtlich, auf den hiesigen Ort bezogen.

Answer 2

I was just reading the answers, frackledJJ is correct.

@ Alwin E is wrong and as a professional translater he should know.

Sixxtwo4 is right, local means place= Stelle/Ort/Platz.

nobody in the USA or UK would call a Pub, restaurant or bar a "local", as ment in german LOKAL.

Thats what we call "Unsinn"

Answer 3

@frackled, you fell in on a "fake friend": local does not translate as "lokal". A "Lokal" is a pub. The correct adjective would be "örtlich"; flexed: "an einer örtlichen Gesamtschule".

Answer 4

Bern is right WE DO NOT CALL our pubs and bars Local!!.

The rest you will have to decide between the German natives they can translate better than I, but I can tell you that we do not call pubs lokal or local in the USA or England.

Answer 5

Here goes:

Im Augenblick bin ich Schülerin an der sogenannten "STAGS". Die STAGS ist eine Mädchenschule in St. Albans und die lokale Gesamtschule. Es gibt ungefähr 1000 Schülerinnen und 40 Lehrer. Im großen und ganzen mag ich die Schüler und Lehrer, aber es gibt ein paar Leute, die ich nicht mag. Nächstes Jahr würde ich gerne auf mein Abitur in den Fächern Wissenschaft, Mathematik und Deutsch lernen /würde ich gerne mein Abitur in den Fächern Wissenschaft, Mathematik und Deutsch machen, da ich Zoologin werden und die Welt bereisen möchte. Leider werde ich nächstes Jahr allerdings nicht die STAGS besuchen, da ich umziehen und in Dubai leben werde (better: Da ich nach Dubai ziehen werde). Ich war schon einmal im Urlaub dort und es ist zimelich heiß (if you were referring to the temperature, which I don't think. I guess you wanted to say that you thought Dubai to be a cool place to live, so you would say: Ich war schon einmal im Urlaub dort und es hat mir sehr gut gefallen.) Viele Leute dort sprechen Englisch, aber ich denke meine Familie und ich werden Arabisch lernen müssen. Das ist höflicher. Im Urlaub war ich dort sehr glücklich. Ich werde sehr froh sein, dort hin zu gehen, aber ich werde meine Freunde vermissen.

There you go. Though it sounds to me like that is homework you needed to do, and since you are proclaiming to want to get your A-levels in German, you should really be able to do that by yourself. After all, I am a native German, and look how well I know my English! However, I hope this helped you out!
