ON the Bus

I spoke German conversationally for the first time in quite awhile today. I was on the bus and two older ladies got on in mid conversation, and the topic led to food which led to the similarities of Russian and German cuisine. One lady mentioned a possibility that because it was that they were so close together.

I had to interrupt.

I told her that Peter the Great invited Germans to Russia to help modernize his country. I later asked the remaining lady if she was German, in German. I used most of my "bahnhoff deutsch" and it was nice to understand a non-english language going on. I feel so stupid that I speak no Spanish.

I just have to learn.
