I’ve decided to take up learning German. Rather than consulting something legitimate or taking a class, I’ve instead begun gleaning little words and phrases off of my two German-speaking friends at my university. This would be all fine and good, except I choose incredibly inappropriate times to practice them.
Friend: Let’s go grab some lunch.
Me: Guten abend, Bürgermeister.
Friend #2: Ivy…
Me: Ja, Fräulein?
Friend #2: Please stop butchering German.
Me: Ferme la bouche.
Friend: Ivy, that’s French.
