I was wondering if anyone on the ToO spoke a little German.

I might be able to repeat some from video games and war movies. They would probably be swears though.

I speak/understand only a very little bit at this point...but I'm in the process of learning the language. I want to become fluent and go to Germany for a few months (not necessarily in that order exactly).

Evil Chick was a MK there for quite sometime and is fluent. $\:D/$

I would highly recommend Rosetta Stone if you are trying to learn the language. And you can learn alot if you go to Germany. I went there this past christmas break with a friend who spent two years there, and between him and the exposure I learned a lot.

Nein. That's my knowledge of the language right there.

HEY! Who gave anyone permission to bring me up in this conversation?

Anyway, yeah, I was an MK there for like 12 years, so... I know the language. A little.

I took two and half years of it in highschool... I know enough to survive, but little more than that.

Schnell! Schnell! $\:D/$ Yay for World War 2 movies where that's almost the only thing soldiers say in German!

Other than a very few scattered words, no, I do not speak German.

Ich spreche nicht Deutsches. Ich spreche Italiener und Spanischen.

...Or something like that.

Jawohl.. or whatever.. that's the extent of my German.

I recognize all the words people have said. My dad took German in high school and used to randomly tell me things that I didn't understand. All I know now is Eine, zwei, drei and Volkswagen. Ooh... and kindergarten! $\:D/$

Nope, sorry... I'm learning Latin right now. I've got a A+ on that. $\:D/$

Yup!

Watson informed me of that fact - he did take a little German so he knows the meaning of random words.

My family is originally German (for those of you who know my last name, this shouldn't come as a surprise) and my Dad knows it, so I know some of the langauge. Couldn't speak it on demand, but I recognize an awful lot of it.

I have two friends who moved here from Germany when they were younger and there last names are different to say the least.

And by the way for a nother German word Herren is Lord and Gott is God.

Ty is currently training with a group of German firefighters...

I believe his words were "It sounded like gibberish."

it still sounds like gibberish to me some times, but it is not as hard to learn as Spanish or French.

I should be able to speak more German than I actually can. I took three years of it in school, my father-in-law speaks it, and we had a German exchange student. Most of it is gone, sadly.
