LOL - you could be right Erith Send a noteboard - 22/12/2009 02:41:57 AM
Meaning, if I were suddenly snatched up and carried off to Germany I could get by with basic conversation. I also can recite several poems, not that it's ANY help whatsoever. Pretty sure Germans would just blink in surprise at some crazy American giving them an impromptu rendition of "Die Lorelei."


That could be your thing!


Yeah, I can see it now:

ME:
"Guten tag! *ahem*
Ich weiss nicht,
Was soll es bedeuten,
Das ich so traurig bin,
Ein Marchen aus alten Zeiten
Das kommt mir nicht aus dem Sinn!"

GERMAN CITIZEN:
*blink* Entschuldigung?
