That's about all I remember from a year of high school Deutsche, but it's the most important phrase you can learn.

In Bavaria, if you can say that as well as the above, you're practically a native.

I speak a little bit of german, was born close to germans, lived close to them and so on, it kinda comes naturally when you have contact with germans now and then.

[Joooray]

I have to agree with Husar. I didn't choose but I was also born amongst Germans, so German comes naturally for me nowdays. Though it could have been different was I not born here, but somewhere else.

But as it is, my German is fluent.

Immersion is the only way to learn a language. I spent last year in Germany with a German host family and now I'm basically fluent. Though that doesn't mean I don't mess up my grammar (articles and such) occasionally. It's a fun language, if you really really want to learn it head to Germany and try to learn German there. It's really the only way to do it. Plus it's lots of fun.

Two years of German in secondary school has taught me... nothing.

Still, apparently I will get an A in GCSE for German according to my teacher, even though I still don't get the basic 'die', 'der' and 'das', in tests I just guess . (How should I know which is masculine or not???)
