I Speak German

Ein Bisschen... I had four years of Deutsch, German, but never got immersed in the language. This was in the years of high school so it has been 23+ years ago.  I never attained fluency even then.  I can watch a German film and understand some of what is said.  I can still do my numbers probably because I used them against my fear of needles.  So, I can still move my way up eins, zwei, drei, ... thru larger numbers like zwolfundzweithausand.   Most of my vocabulary has left me.  I do remember some like schlachtschiffe or unterseeboot because I see them in many of the books I read.  I also come across some in stamp collecting which can refresh my memory, but unless I live in Deutschland, I'll probably never attain any real fluency.

Many other languages may be more popular, but German is the mother language to English. So to truly understand English you must study German. I learned that from my mother who was an English teacher. I do wish some of the education methods used in Germany might be used here in the US because I think they would help greatly with our own labor troubles.

Really?
What do you mean by 'truly understand' English? I'm curious =3
And you're right about the last thing you wrote.
I heard you don't have such social benefits like german people have and I really don't know much about your 'english' system, if you know what I mean, but I really hope it will get better soon =)

I might get some of the words, but I'd have to rely on Google translate, I just don't use German much anymore. I used it a lot in college, but it quickly dwindled under the stresses of daily life. I can still curse. :) scheisse :)

Of course, I bet dayzeedayzee probably has a much better command of the language and could translate just about anything.
