GREAT post, I'm completely curious as to how the German is coming along and to know more about what you plan on seeing in Germany. Whatever you do, take pictures :p Popular Wealth's last blog post..Neuschwanstein Castle - One Of The Worlds Most Beautiful

I absolutely think you can get by with just those few key phrases. Well, you might want to add “Where is the bathroom?”, but other than that, you’re set.

I love the phrases you chose to learn! That is great. That will be an amazing trip. My cousin went not long ago and I loved just pouring over her pictures-such beautfil country, this was before the lots and lots of beer she drank pictures.

You're going to GERMANY??!!?? Man, I'm so jealous -- though I have to say I'm not a big fan of German food. But there'll be beer, right? And how can you go wrong with that? Madame Queen's last blog post..American Idle

Dear LuLu,

Germany sounds wonderful — I can’t believe that GR is going. (wish I was going, too) P.S. Uncle CW said to pay his way and he would go with you. LOL.

I love your amazing sense of humor about ,your childhood “tales”. You could write a book on “Why should kids from a hick town take a foreign language.” LOL LOL -
I swear, LuLu, you have a creative writing talent and should write a book. You could write a best selling novel just about your childhood memories.
P.S. I can’t believe you and GR will be married for “just” 15 years, it seems alot longer to me.

I do hope you get to go to Germany and you aren’t in the backyard guzzling PBR. That would just be too much like my own 15th anniversary. OK, not really, but it’s a secret fantasy of mine. Except that we’re fancy people here and we do Bud Lite.

Ok…nuff about me.

Here’s a handy phrase you should toss into conversation every chance you get while in Germany — Ich bin den Meister.

Which means I am the Master. Or so says Google. Maybe try it at the airport first before going out and about with it. Good luck!

The good news is that alcohol is free on international flights. The bad news is that you'll need it after being strip-searched by airport security. Get a lonely planet guide. I've found them indespensible in my travels. They're the best, as far as I'm concerned. I mean, if they have up-to-date info on places to visit in Ethiopia (I kid you not), they won't steer you wrong in Germany. Mrs.W's last blog post..Food Art: Eggs

I think you should just stick with the Ich ben Lulu and you’ll be just fine.
I took German too, but hells if I remember anything…
And actually, they’re all required to learn English in school. So maybe you’ll get lucky and not even need it!
Here’s counting on Ethnocentric ideals!!
