I swear this life is like the sweetest thing I've ever known.

That order (Austria too btw but nobody wants to go there anyway soooo )

German is a pretty hard language to learn, but with it being a Germanic language (same language group like English) it's the most similar to English, maybe Dutch would be too.

It won't be needed for holidays or something, most Germans speak English (in a horrible accent though) anyway but if you really want to learn it you should take German lessons somewhere imo.

Sorry for the poorly structured sentences, I'm on my phone (not really).

It's not that hard.

Yes it is Trust me, loads of native German speakers struggle with it.

Wieviel Deutsch sprichst du denn? Nur Grundlagen?

I do German at school but I'm shit at it.

Pretty much, I only learnt it from year 7 until year 10. My Secondary school after that it wasn't compulsary to learn a language so I dropped it.

They say it's 10,000 hours to master a new language. Not sure how many are needed to simply speak well enough to get by in the country though.

As I say, Im going over there, plus I've kind of got this thing going with a girl over there. Also it seems the most similar to English

You have to wonder though, when I flirt I drop about 20 innuendo's in a sentence, you can't learn much grammatically in like a year. It's all about body language to be honest anyway.

Just saying
