Subject: RE: If you want people to like you, learn German
MudGuard, are you telling us that you are but 36 years old. I, too, learned German about 36 years ago - but not so fluently. Still, I'm not bad at it. I can't pass for a native in Germany, but people in other places in Europe have often thought I was German. When I was in Greece this summer, two storekeepers addressed me in German when I walked in the door.
Sure beat the hell out of trying to speak Greek - although I did that, too.
So, do you think we'll ever get the lyrics to this song?
