(6,286 posts)5. Same here. English and German.
6 years of German in high school/college. I keep it from withering and dying in my brain through exercises and such, but I can't say that I ever had a chance to use it properly.
One day I'll make the pilgrimage to Germany and find out exactly how horrible I am at the language.
