Would you use word other than "Art" or "Weise" to express way in the following sentences.

Is there a quicker WAY to the airport?

What is the best WAY to get around town (btw, how does one translate "get around" to include walking, running, cycling, driving, within a city)?

One WAY to finish school early is to take more classes.

I don't like the WAY she acts.

thanks

Gibt es eine schnellere Strecke zum Flughafen?
Wie bewegt man sich in der Stadt am besten?
Man kann seine Ausbildung schneller abschließen, wenn man mehr Vorlesungen besucht.
Mir gefällt ihr Benehmen nicht.

Except for the first sentence you don't even need "way".

airport - 'Weg' you'd never use Art or Weise for that

town - you'd use something like Möglichkeit - option or wie kommt man am besten in der Stadt herum

school - Möglichkeit again

acts - ich mag es nicht wie sie sich verhält (verb verhalten - behave/act)

ganz locker

1) Weg, Verbindung, Strecke, Anfahrt
2) Weg, Vorgehen, Methode, Möglichkeit - herumkommen, unterwegs zu sein, mobil zu sein
3) Weg, Methode, Möglichkeit
4) -- nothing, except a completely different sentence --

Sounds like homework in german classes. wink.gif Dont you have a german Thesaurus?

While at it, might I ask - what's the equivalent of a Wirtschaftsingenieur and Wirtschaftsinfomatiker and Mikrotronicker (sp)? leo.org hasn't been of much help here.
