Well, like when I asked a friend of mine to help me
with my German
(20-year native speaker)...every specific question was met with, "I don't
*know* vy, ve just say it zat vay..."
If you really want to get up to speed on speaking, visit one of the German
American friendship clubs that are in many cities. Watching cartoons in
German can help as well. Here in SoCal there is a huge german population,
with many social clubs etc. like Alpine Village (near 110/405).
