I just learnt that in English Rechte Masche is called knitting but Linke Masche is "purling" so that's already a massive help.

Ha! Hab ich auch nicht gewußt. It is really tough to learn all that terminology since almost nothing is just literally translated.

I still don't fully grasp how the English method works but i showed the continental one to an American colleague who can knit and she said, woah your method is actually easier. Although i guess it's a matter of preference really.

Yes, if I understood the difference correctly continental is considerably faster as well, right?

I believe it is, the yarn is “picked” from the left hand instead of being wrapped over the working needled by the right hand. I haven’t tried the Continental method, and I wrap yarn the opposite way from most English knitters.
