Ktsnake I know what you mean. I feel like this. When I go off this post I don't expect anyone to speak a world of English. Which is why I am really hesitant to go off this post alone b/c my German is not the best but my husband's is better so I go with him (I would go with him anyway of course
) Many people know that I am an American just by looking at me and so they just speak English but I don't expect them to. My husband told me that many countries do their finances in English so I guess that's how people know it. I know it is also thought in schools over here. My father in law has a saying. People are people no matter where you go... and its true. Sometimes I am just shy b/c I don't want to go down as the "stupid American" b/c my German isn't that great but I do know that a smile is the same everywhere. Sometimes its hard over here b/c I do miss home but I honestly think I am so lucky b/c I get to see these beautiful things that many people never see. So I am also greatful!!!!!
