We have ways of making you talk ... German!
In 1996, David Bergmann voluntarily moved from Chicago to Germany (the country of his 32 great- great-great-grandparents). His mission: a year- abroad to go "back to the roots" - both physically and linguistically. Since then he has come to terms (well, almost) with the past-tense, cute yet tough "Umlauts", powerful prefixes, "Doinglisch", idiosyn-cratic idioms, and the twelve (or was that thirteen?) possible plural-forms. Furthermore, he has tackled the eternal questions posed by native English speakers of "How do you , du'?", "Where's my Fahrvergnu¿gen?", and "Der, die, WAS?!". Through it all, he has both confused and amused the natives. But most importantly, he discovers that German is not at all an awful language - as Mark Twain once mistakenly wrote - but rather an awfully cool one!
