| Re: how long to speak enough German to work
| Quote: | |  | | | Off topic I know, but reminds me of when I was doing French A level. The school brought in a French "assistante" - some recently graduated 21 year old girl from somewhere in Provence - to help the upper sixth practice our oral (that's spoken!  ) skills. Can't remember her name, but if I close my eyes I can see her now. Long, dark hair....deep brown eyes...a tanned, dusky skin that made her teeth seem impossibly white. All too exotic for bunch of northern lads! And when she entered the room, ah...she filled it with a heady, intoxicating aroma of warm, undeodorised armit and a hint of Gauloises on her breath. She clearly made an impression.....but after three months we still had no idea what she was talking about. | | | | | O la la...........
