wow, that about german being scarce in America
i really like it and because most of english is derived from german, it helps me with my grammar.
yeah, in 8th grade we had to know all of the states, abbr, and their capitols, i failed it every time but know the ones i grew up in.
Surprising enough, but New England just won the Super Bowl, for american football, pretty cool, many of my friends won lots of money off that game.
i believe by watching at least the news in german, maybe i'll be able to pick up a few phrases here and there.
