Over the past few weeks, our VS unit has been hanging out with a German girl we met over Thanksgiving dinner. It's been kinda nice to try to brush up on the ol' language skills. It also reminds me of how poor I am at speaking something coherent under pressure ("You speak German? That is great! Say something!" "Umm...Gestern ich habe ein...oh scheisse, what's that verb?"). Does anyone else derive such simple joy from getting the opportunity to speak their second language, be it German or Spanish or Chinese?
