yep. also a few words which *are* taught in german courses.
one evening we were invited to dinner at a russian friend's house who also spoke german (she had studied in germany i believe, or maybe she was half german, i forget), but she had only heard me speaking french. you should have seen the shocked and amazed expression on her face when i asked her "kannst-du mir das schwartz brot geben bitte ?" (but, sorry, i don't know how to spell in german !!)
but really i only know about 15 words in german. and sadly i've forgotten quite a lot of what i used to know.
