Ahaha and in German tooI've learned two things about my German in the last two days
1) It's a lot better than I expected it to be
2) It's shit
Managing to explain to a German police officer about Smug would seriously over-extend my abilities

I thought the Germans were proud of their good English?Can't think why, when German is such a fun language.

Some Germans arebut what I learned from living here is that a lot of Germans lack confidence to actually speak English. In many ways that's a good thing because then you're forced to learn German to live here. Up here there's less of a habit for people to swap into English when your accent gives you away, but it's not actually that bad. The younger someone is, the more likely they are to have better English than the average American. That makes me feel stupid when they've stood patiently listening to me stagger through childish, broken German for two or three minutes, of course, but there we go.
