Hmmmmm... I don't know any German, but I know a few German people. I'll be sure to ask around.

i took german in high school i don't remember to much of it but i'm sure there is a app now, one of my spanish friends when he first moved to Oregon he had a app that he'd talk to on his cellphone and it'd translate it to english and vise versa

i do have another friend that went to college for Vw and only Vw i could probably talk to he's good he's got a nice 63-66 bug that he made into a dragster it's sweet

DO NOT use an app or a translator. It's never good German, always a problem with the syntax. You have several volunteers already but we can help you as well if you need it, except we're Bavarians here -- a bit like a Southern dialect, soda vs pop, there is a different word for many things.

You must be from the Midwest? Most people I know from IL and MN say pop. Everyone in CA says soda.

I am native Californian....born in the French Hospital in China Town, Los Angeles....I was however raised for a good portion of my young life by my Grandmother--however, she was from Arkansas...Ozarks....don't know how that plays into it...but always remember Pop...not until I was dating this man once did I realize everyone else said Soda....lol....

My brother took German and Latin classes in high school, because he wanted the extra credits :rolleyes: but I don't think he can speak them fluently though :(
After a few years, information someone doesn't need "disappears"... Unless he practices it frequently :)

No, he doesn't have a need too. Latin is sort of dead, and we don't know anyone who speaks German :D
It sure seems like it when I'm doing math! :p
