German isn't too hard to pick up. And it helps when you have to speak it. Then it helps break down barriers when you try to speak it - a German gives you a very funny look then blurts out 'I speak perfect English Ja Just tell me in English'.
Oh - the best way to speak German is to demand things not ask nicely. I noted this when trying to order bread in a bakery. Speak German shyly or too meek they will look at you weirdly. Go in, bang your fist on the table and yell 'give me that bread' gets a response. It might seem rude in the UK but trust me, that's how Germans shop!

Not too sure how effective banging your fist on the table would prove to be.lol.

Brown shirts. Black shirts.
Just goes to show that the Italians have more fashion sense than the Germans.
