Originally posted by jdat well I am back "home" fudge this is depressing. But I got free tickets to the opera in the mail today ( and for the first public show! that's some major pimping shizzle right there I tell ya! ) So yeah Berlin was really cool I nearly died on my way to the airport because of my backpack being full of books ( must have weighed maybe twice my check in luggage ) I'll have to say more later but I think I was finally getting adjusted to the language because when I go back this afternoon I walked into a store and started speaking german to the sales staff <3 Berlin

german is quite easy to learn. its very phonetic. and there are also few pronunciation modifiers. those two things alone keep the language quite simple.
