Ihre harte Arbeit ausgezahlt = "All your hard work paid off"
My German teacher used to say that to selected students periodically.

I thought Arbeit translates to work -- forgot what might be learning
though -- too long ago.
Then I thought perhaps I should look it up BEFORE posting this time,
to reduce embarrasment, so:
Arbeit (die)
n. employment, work, occupation, Job, task, duty, assignment
and
learn
v. lernen; erlernen; erfahren; merken; erkennen; aneignen
BUT - that's probably a close enough translation of idioms, so I'm still
wrong!

we already have a handful of German speakers here, so it's no big deal
really. Just FYI"

Never stop learning.
