I've not been yet. There's talk of me going over to meet his family this year. God knows how i'll get on as none of them speak English!!! I'll just have to drink and be merry - all nationalities can understand that!!!
Well I think they can say a few basic words, hello etc but they can't hold a conversation. Especially his grandad. I think his small cousins can - probably the best conversations I'll have!!! Right up my street
When my fella goes over there, he says he talks german the whole time he's there and rarely talks english. Not even to his Dad.
Bremen I don't know, but I do know Hamburg, My dad was stationed there when I was a Kid, I pretty much grew up in Germany and went to Boarding school there. Oh and I speak fluent German. LOL
