minus-square@randintlinkEnglish1•23 days ago I’ve had a few Germans ask me why I bothered learning their language when I could just use English. So, why? You can’t leave us hanging like this!
minus-square@assassin_aragorn@lemmy.worldlinkfedilink2•23 days agoI took German in high school (in the US) and I was really disappointed to learn that most people in Germany know English. I have used some German on the odd airport layover but it was never terribly useful even then. It made me sad
minus-square@WanakaTree@lemm.eecakelinkfedilink2•16 days agoHaha I’ve lived there for almost a year between two stints and had a lot of free time for one of them so seemed like a fun thing to learn. It very occasionally has been helpful traveling in more rural Germany speaking areas
