I think it is time at long last that I learn German properly.

I can get by in Spanish and French, and I can speak and understand tourist Italian, plus I had a year of ancient Greek, so at least I can puzzle out the Greek alphabet and make a few obvious connections.

I have a Chicago friend who has good friends in Bremen, and they say that he speaks ‘Kinder-Deutsch”.

‘Kinder-Deutsch’ would be a generous description of my understanding. I only understand what I have learned in a clumsy fashion from films.

German is a great language for rock songs. So much better than any Romance language.

My ignorance of German is really embarrassing.

Beautiful words, Sheila – shred seems perfect.

Lars, the tune is beautiful, it spoke to me. Obviously you know I do not understand German, but, so often with songs even sung in English the words are irrelevant. Yet, it is lyrics I look to to explain my feelings:

It’s just the way that he sings,
Not the words that he says, or the band.
I’m in love with this soul, it’s a meaning that I understand.

I have always loved that passage too. It has such a quiet courage in it that, as you say, shreds me.
