Hi Roy,
I learned German because I felt that it was important (and of course we must take a "foreign language" in the US school system). I was going to learn French as well, but when I got to college I didn't like the way they were teaching it, so I quit that class.
I thought Spanish was too easy to bother with – since Mexico was right next door it held no appeal for me. However, I can speak some "kitchen Spanish."
Einmal war ich in der Schweiz, und der Armee hat uns von unsere Hotel hinausgeworfen. Es war ein "scheduling problem" zwischen unsere Oberschule Gruppe und der Armee.
Ha, that wasn't so difficult ...
