I have also figured out the forms for adding adjectives to a noun. This was rather tedious; I had to watch the endings of every adjective followed by a verb. Most of it came from Erzälte Zeit. There are probably irregular words though, and I think the participles may be different.
Adj construction
m
der/sein/ihr
(nom, acc, dat, gen)
-e, -en, -en, -en
ein/kein
-er, -en, -en, -en

-er, -en, -em, -en
f
die/ihre/sein
-e,-e, -en, -en
eine/keine
-e, -e, -en, -en
(no article)
-e, -e, -er, -en
n
das/sein/ihr
-e, -e, -en, -en,
ein/kein
-es, -es, -en, -en

-es, -es, -em, -en
p
die/ihre/sein
-en, -en, -en, -en
eine/keine
-e, -e, -en, -en
(no article)
-e, -e, -er, -en
I am almost certain that "weder" is neither. To use it, write "weder", then the first item, and then the second after "noch" (equivalent to using "nor").
For example,
Weder der Lehrer noch der Student kennt die Antwort.
Neither the teacher nor the student knows the answer.
I have also seen this construction several times, but it goes something like Je...desto, which is like saying "the more [phrase], the more [phrase]."
For example,
Je mehr man denkt darüber, desto mehr weiß er.
The more one thinks about it, the more he knows.

hi there!
I know this post was written a long time ago and you might by now know some of your "mistakes", but I thought I'd still help a little ^^ (yes, I'm German)
Actually it's "Ausdruck" (expression, as you said) and it comes from "Druck" - pressure, weight, force. You could say it means to let out what's been cooking inside of you to let go off the pressure ;)
"drücken" means "to push", while "drucken" means "to print".
"nimmermehr" is sort of older German, it's compareable to "nevermore". No one ever sais that anymore.
you're right, "wog" is the simple past of "wagen".
"Schenkel" is a part of the leg actually. The lower part, is it called "calves?"
"Oberschenkel" is the "thigh".
"der Baustellenbereich", since "Bereich" (=area) is male.
die "Gänsehaut" are goose bumps. "Gans" (Gänse is plural) means "goose", "Haut" = "skin"
You're right about "weder, noch", but there's one thing to know: The verb must be plural, since you're talking about two persons or objects:
"Weder der Schüler, noch der Lehrer kennen die Antwort."
Way to go! You're a very good autodidact!
Oh - sorry!
"Wog" is NOT the simple past of "wagen", that would be "wagte". It's the simple past of "wiegen", which means "weigh".
