Indeed I am. I hope all is well with you. 😀



:omg: You know Deutsch! :excited: I'd answer in German, but I'd be cheating and using a translator.
I remember so little of the German I was taught in school. 🙁

Anyway, I am good. How're you? :cuddle:

LOL Hehehehe Chemists at the PhD level are required to read German. Although I must confess I have forgotten a lot of it. 😛

Glad you are well. I am good to. 🙂
 
I once spoke German fluently after four college courses in it and a summer in Berlin. But that was 40 years ago. 😱
😀 😛

😀 I wish I was fluent in it since I'm mostly German. Alas I am not, maybe one of these days I'll get that language learning CDs the Rosetta Stone and relearn it. 😀 I also wish I was fluent in Greek as well since I've always been fascinated by Greek mythology and Greek culture. 😀

Its been a long time for me too. I also spoke French at one point. That too was a long time ago in a galaxy far far away. :roflmao:

I dont think I was ever fluent in it. I could read it with the help of dictionary and did ok. German technical literature is most difficult to read.

I like Greek Mythology too. :bounce:
 
I could never learn languages easily so it's a shame that I've forgotten it after so much effort to learn it. 🙁
😀 😛

Languages were never easy for me either. So much chemnistry literature is written in German and French though I really needed to know a bit of each.

😀 😛
 
It used to be true in mathematics also, but today almost everything is available in English. 😀 😛

Same here when I learned German. I could read it, but speaking it was hard. :doh:

Hehe, I love Greek Mythology. It's where I got the name Nemesis. :excited:

As the saying goes "If you don't use it, you lose it." Though, that saying can't be too true about some things. 😛
 
It's true that I never used the German language after college.
😀 😛

Most modern German chemical loterature is available in English. The very old stuff is not.

All French chemical literature is well only available in French. 😀

I would have taken German in High School too but the High School teachers name was Stalin. LOL He was an ex-Jesuit priest who left cause he said he was being chased by demons. 😛 Anyway first thing he always said in class was "You will work hard in this class because Germans like to work." So I took French. 😛

I took a course in Ancient Greek Civilization. Even attended a play by Sophocles at Cal Tech. 😀 I iz edjumicated. 😛

:bwahaha: I guess when given those options, I'd have chosen French as well. 😛

Sweet. :happyhop:
 
My experience was that the people were quite rude to tourists. One of my nieces had a better experience there, but I imagine that was because they can manage to be polite to beautiful young women. :rowfull:

From what little I know city people tend to be more rude there. The countryside people were always very pleasant and very nice I was told. 🙂
 
I was only in Paris, their biggest city. Maybe that was my mistake. 😀 😛
 
It's not worth going back there to check that out, I don't think. 😀 😛
