I took four semesters of German (with about a five-year break between II and III) and can't remember anything except "Ich habe kopfschmerzen" (I have a headache) and "Ich fühle mich hundsmiserable" (I'm sick as a dog).

Those Germans have a different word for everything.

I learned to read academic German from scratch in less than ten weeks. I remember almost nothing. But I passed the exam (3 hrs of translating an essay - don't ask).

But I find your quotes MUCH more useful.

Eccch, reading exams--the very thought scares me! Foreign language ones, I mean. :)
