One curious thing about the expats I worked with was they they seemed to resent it when I spoke German in the local shops and restaurants. I never understood that.Last edited by Sysman; 21 July 2009, 22:20.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Seriously though - do you learn much by watching TV?
I used to love a German show called Tutti Frutti. Basically the contestants had to remove an article of clothing every time they got a question wrong. And the hostesses would get their chests out at the drop of a hat. It was soooooo bad it was art, but I did find myself being able to understand (threepenny) bits of it. I don't know how I did it though ...

I recently bought the online version of Rocket German (on permanent limited time special offer), which was pretty good for me, mainly because it focused more on the listening side. I tried speaking a bit of German when I was there at Easter, but as soon as anybody replied to me in German I was lost.
I sometimes turn on DWTV (794 on Sky), and although I only get about one word in three and can't think fast enough to keep up anyway, I can now distinguish the words most of the time, which is not something I could have done three months ago.Last edited by VectraMan; 25 July 2009, 15:10.Will work inside IR35.
