Yeah...

Forget what I said... just talk American to everyone in Europe... They all speak American...

I should know... I live in Europe... And I also lived in Germany for years...

When you move to Germany you will be expected to register yourself in the country... surprisingly the forms are not in 'American', imagine...

But don't worry... I'm sure they will send a community worker your way to help you fill it out (in)...

Best of luck in Germany... great country... great people... pity about the language... but just ignore them when they talk in German to you... They will go away eventually...
