I should have added, I also speak passable German. After I graduated from college (Go UCONN!), I landed a job at Daimler Benz in Sindlefingen, Germany working as what was known as a Practicant which loosely translated was practical application work for engineering students. Idea was to actually work on the assembly line before you started designing factory equipment.

It was fascinating and, I can assure you, that when you have to stick your hands in a large steel press and extract a piece of metal after it's been stamped; you learn German real fast!

Another interesting phenomena with that language I discovered is, the more beer you drink, the better your German becomes. Can't think why; must have to do with the hops.
