Ha Ha! I started reading your blog because I’m an American living in Germany, and I don’t know why but some of the mis-translations are sooo funny. The worst, however, has got to be when you’re struggling to speak to someone in Deutsch and after allowing you to butcher their language for a hot minute, they say, “I speak English. What do you want?”
This happened to me the other day at McDonald’s.
