Ich bin ein Holzfäller...

I'm taking German as my official college language. I love Rainer Maria Rilke, Beethoven, Vienna and have a German aunt, so I figured it would be a good fit. So far I'm really liking it... but, you know, it can be a hard language to take seriously. The words aren't smooth and sexy like Latin or French. They're bouncy and long, and uberly dorky. I have to try very, very hard to suppress myself from bursting into this song in class.
