My dad was born in West Berlin. Closest to Europe.
On my mom's side, my Irish great great grandpa jumped ship while leaving a Washington (state) port and deserted the British navy to come here.

1/2 German, 1/2 Irish/English

Not from Europe but I'm in school here for a while. Im in London. You see many more cool cars over here. Just in the past week I've seen a RS6 wagon, RS6 sedan, B6 S4, and the really new RS4 that they havent released yet. Saw it at an auto demo in Hamburg over spring break.

how much german do you speak?
I'm assuming this was directed @ me. Sofort. Auf Deustch gesprechen sehr bissen, jetz. Hab ich forner gesprechen halb besser gespracht. FTR, I NEVER learner to type in German. There's not much use for any foreign language other than Spanish, here in teh Merto DC area. But, every once and a while I'll hunt down a couple of resturaunts I know, where I can mangle the Italian or German dialect.

to tell you straight up, Spanish is taking over all over the US hahaha it's nuts, my friend went to apply at some Landscaping company and the manager asked him if he spoke any spanish, my friend is like NO. The manager dude told him to start learning because all of his guys are spanish and they dont speak english. Well me being from Bosnia which is almost twice as far away as Mexico i was like WTF dude thats too much, and the manager dude was like yea thats the way it is. that is one thing really pissing me off right now none of them want to learn English (American)

Yeah! When I go into a fast food joint, if I want my order right the first time I usually order in Spanish. It works! It helps that, in my P/T job as a Security Officer the cleaninig crew RARELY speaks any English. Dialectual (is that a word?) difference abound, country to country, but basic Spanish gets me by.
