I really want to go to Wacken for the 2009 Open Air Festival,but the only 2 problems will be that I can't speak a word of German,and I may as well be looking at hieroglyphics when it comes to trying to read any foreign language!!
How does an english only speaking person cope when visiting your lovely country?I'll try my best at learning some basic stuff,although if I could I'd prefer to be fluent like the locals,but do most German people understand english as well as their own language?I just don't want to look like a dickhead,standing there going"Yeah,ok,uh huh,yeah,right,yeah I know what your saying..."when really they might be trying to sell me a vacuum cleaner,giving some poor german salesperson false hope that they might be getting a sale(for a dramatic example) instead of giving directions to Wacken,which is what I wanted in the first place....or something like that.
Do you think I'll be reasonably ok only knowing english?For example,I've looked at some of the threads on here,and I haven't a clue what you're on about...so long as it's about metal,or metal related subjects,that's all that matters to me..Anyway,get back to me on this one(if you know what the hell I've been talking about),I'd be interested to see what you have to say on this...Thankyou,and I look forward to visiting Germany! Horns up!\m/
