It hasn't helped me. I took 5 years of college
German and speak less than
the average German 2 year old. Honestly, it's humiliating, because I'm
still in the habit of telling people that I know some German...only to
stumble on the most basic words and sentence structure. I think it would
come back pretty quick, but I don't have the time (or energy) to study it
on my own, and very little opportunity to use it in a practical setting
(despite Hans' brave attempt to try to understand my gibberish).
That's part of the deal - if you pretend to understand
my English, I'll do the same about your German... :))
No, serious, German isn't that hard to learn, millions
of kids over here are proof that it's easy enough to
be done even at toddlers age :))
Well, Now realy serious: All you missing is some practice
so come over for VCFe and help Sallam in his speech.
Gruss
