Was?

By themildthings - This FML is from back in 2010 but it's good stuff - Germany

Today, whilst working as a language assistant in Germany as part of my degree, some 9 year-old German kids asked me to please speak English to them because my German was so shit. FML

Face it, a German degree from the University of Phoenix isn't going to get you far anyways. They should have sent you to a place where you could dazzle them with your mad German skillz, like Antarctica. Penguins love guttural languages.

25 - I took Rosetta stone for Spanish, and it sucked. I did so much better in a normal class. But I guess it's all a matter of how you learn.

Depending on where you are in Germany, they may speak a different dialect. I lived there for a bit and if you travel a couple hours in any direction, you've entered another region

"saukrel" doesn't mean anything, it's not a word, at least not a german or english one.

I think they meant "saukerl". That's a word.
