I'd always thought Germany was up their with The Netherlands & Scandinavia & SWitzerland, since they're such a business-oriented nation. Interesting.

Of all the Europeans I've worked with the Germans are the worst when it comes to English. Even the French have a better overall level of comprehension.

Vice versa for me, in fact I would say everyone except the Spanish are better than the French...

Yes, it's a shame about that particular ranking seeing as one might want to engage some Germans in conversation.

That's the porn industry though.

Yeah - but they pretend they don't.

Seems unlikely none of the Germans spoke English.

A lot of being able to speak fluently is getting over your inhibitions. I'm a fluent French and German speaker. I often get the grammar wrong and frequently use the wrong word or pronunciation, but it's fluent gibberish. Somehow, though, it doesn't usually interfere with comprehension.

I speak slur fluently

I must have lost the plot half way through - Why would you need to speak German in an Italian restaurant, in Luton?

Or is this just Suity's roundabout way of informing us that he _can_ speak German?

Please see the "Location" section of my profile. Hint, it's next to every one of my posts.

Fascinating story this.

Cheers bud. In fairness I was pissed when I posted. (PWIP)

Again, it was an Italian restuarant.

So I got bored this evening and decided to walk to to the local Italian restaurant, which has a bar.

Also in Germany you see a lot of Greek restaurants, they are usually Turkish, pretending to be Greek.
