Well, if this makes you feel any better
I lived in Baumholder Germany for three years with my ex-spouse. He was US Army...Anyway, I still remember the basics, but never really learned German fluently. Funny thing is, when I watch movies, I kind of know what they are saying when it's in German, but I can't really speak it. Now go figure that. Most of the doctors that I know from this site and that I meet while I lived there, speak very good English. It's a second language for most. PS Most of my verbal skills encluded something about ordering beer, so don't go by me....
