But really, not that different from the German phrasebook I had on my first trip to Austria, which had such useful tidbits as: "Where are you taking me, officer?" "Am I being charged with a crime?"

He did not even had them at the same time... boring, hehe I started to learn english with 19 when I was touring with bands through Europe, I still wish I would have taken a bit more out of the lessons in school... I just love the Karaoke reading line in the video cheers Rhoody I had to repeat a class in school because of english, I basically knew all Iron Maiden songs with 16, and the lyrics and the meaning… but I was not really interested in Henry VIII and his six wifes.
