I live way over by Trier! In my experience so far, I will speak German the best I can and they will answer me in English. Maybe because I live near a US military base?? I've only met a couple of people who I could not understand at all, even with asking them to speak slowly, but we managed to communicate well enough with hand gestures I love Germany
I would agree that German is difficult to learn I have been using Rosetta Stone and Mango language programs but I am still terrible at anything but the basics!
