[QUOTE="Poke78, post: 3906330, member: 4333"] In 3 years in the US military in Germany, I visited France twice. I tried out my high school French, as augmented by a phrase book. No use -- all I did was p!$$ off the natives which made me swear off going to France. The Germans and Italians were much more open to tourists attempting to use their language. Since I was there 3 years and had some good coaching from native speakers, I got comfortable with German. Comfortable = I was never hungry or thirsty and could always get directions to the bathroom. :Heya: BTW - have a great trip, especially Normandy. It is one of my great regrets that I never went while serving in Germany. [/QUOTE]
