Now that I'm (finally!) starting to learn how to speak German, my colleagues here in Munich are cheering me on. A lot of good-natured kidding flies around the office as they teach me new words I probably ought not know while I butcher the gracious language of Goethe. I can't even begin to imagine what bad German sounds like with a Canadian accent, I'm told "cute" but I'm sure that's being kind.
They are tremendously supportive, and I had a huge belly-laugh today when one of them sent me this video.
It starts off in German, but don't worry, you don't need subtitles.
Welcome back! The moose picture is hilarious! Glad that Jake is still chasing the frisbee.
