How many years do you think it would take an adult to become fluent in a second language?
When their first language is English and they are learning German.

There is, of course, that ancient axiom that life is too short to learn German. Having spent 5 hours every week through six years of school learning it, I agree with that sentiment! I was never fluent, despite having spent several months living in Germany (great time, lovely people, weird language)
@Cynthia Hahaha. I think there are two types of people in the world. People who hate the German language and people who love it. I fall into the latter category. 😍 I love how complicated it is. :)
