I think "mitunter" is a weird word to teach at this point. "Manchmal" is IMHO much more common and means pretty much exactly the same. Google: Manchmal 75 million hits, mitunter 8.5 milloin hits.
"I eat sugar "frome" time to time????"
I never heard or read the word "mitunter" in 8 years in Germany.
agree, mituner is stupid
How would it be with "manchmal"? "I eat manchmal Zucker"?
