Germany
Was?
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.

I'm assuming the kid spoke German to you so if you understood him then it's probably not that bad. Don't take advice from 9 year olds.

That blows, but it is sad that most Germans speak decent english, where as when we learn German, it still sucks! I'm stationed here and I jus say enough to ask if they speak English...

where were you in Germany? because location could be the reason why they couldn't understand you.
