Why are we taking German Classes?
Filed under: General
Posted by: Felicia @ 8:04 am

Ethiopia is a proud country who’s people speak over 80 languages, none of which are taught in a St. Louis Community College Continuing Education class.  French and Arabic are also spoken there, both of which are taught in a St. Louis Community College Continuing Education class.  Yet, we are currently taking Conversational German I.  Why?  No clue - I quit trying to figure out my husband years ago.

He speaks a bit of the language and since we were dating (can you believe I’ve known him 10 years now!!) he has wanted to take a refresher course, and always thought it would be fun if I took it with him.  It just happens to be now that we are doing it.  Maybe we’ll fly into Frankfort on the way to Addis? 

At least this past Tuesday, I learned the one phrase that I believe will get us through any German speaking country, if we ever end up in one.

Ein bier bitte.
