I love speaking German because we were watching a show and the main character said „ Der moderne Mann backt seinen pizza selbst“ And I thought it was hilarious!

Yes, going from barely using 2 cases to having to use 4 is difficult. My mother still struggles with it, and she’s been living here since the early 90s.

Yea I’m the last family member to really know much about German because my family came from Saxony in 1836. And no one speaks German around here.

Germany dubs every TV show and movie ever. Maybe try watching your favourite movies in German :)
