I wonder how long it would take to learn German through osmosis

I've been living in Germany for 3 months and somehow it feels like I understand less every day.

So yeah a while

Just make sure you use the joke "ich verstehe nur Bahnhof". The locals love that.

Also if you see a swiss person, always greet them with "Gruezi". They love that too.

Usually I just make an audible sigh when the train is delayed. Seems to make me blend in well enough

I can’t believe you’ve mastered German in just 3 months

[-] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

Depends entirely on how much you're exposed to every day.
