3 yrs german in high school (3rd yr classes entirely auf Deutsch + 2 semesters in college in the 1970s. Some exposure to German lit and music (drinking songs, Lieder, Hauschmarchen) at home. My dad was a lifelong German language student. I used to have a fair vocabulary. want to read works of Hildegarde von Bingen and other German mystics, Heidi and Grimms, and interest in Alsatian. I just have a personal connection w German and enjoy thinking in a second language.
