Actually, my host mother keeps telling me I speak very good German (actually she says perfect, but that's a big load of bovine fecal material). I don't believe her for one second, but she keeps using it as an excuse for why she expects me to answer the home phone (hahaha).
I understand, I think, enough to get generally what's going on in a conversation/movie/book, but missing the jokes/details. Also, idioms tend to completely derail and confuse me, and German is as peppered with them as English.
And to give you an idea of what my spoken German is like, I tend to speak like this: "All your- wait a moment, her? his?- the she-bases....or base. He-bases? Are belonging to we. Or to we belonging? Correct me plz?" And please to be imagining a bad American accent, because I still can't pronounce the vowels for the life of me.
and, omigawd, what did I do, now I have to make a new post.
