Yes, the German language seems not to be sinking into this 1/2 native german brain.  Maybe its the irish stubborness from my other genetic side that is refusing to be tainted.   There has been "Learn conversational german in 7 days" for the travelling business person, I never did get past day two.  Then the trusty Fodars, Lonely Planet and I do believe...a yellow cased familiar packaging of German for Dummies.  I will be desperately clinging to my english to german phrasebook in restaurants refusing to be served sweetbreads disguised as bratwurst.  I know that often the reply to asking for water is :vith or vithout gas?  Carbonation seems to be a popular choice of the readily available wasser.  And then there was the advice of never ask for bottled water?  What is that about?
None-the-less, I know my first trip to Europe will be fantastic..even if I do take chances by throwing darts at menu's.
