I am hungry for some ...
Uh yeah. Didn't think that one out.
Herr Poll was his name.I used to be quite fluent and had a German minor. The TCU German professor wasn't sure what to do with me for fourth year German (I tested out of 2 1/2 years and there wasn't really formal class beyond that second semester of third year). He had me read Hermann Hesse novels in the original German and write reports. Tough enough to read philosophy in English...
I rode a train in Switzerland and had a long conversation with a woman who was shocked when I told her I was American, so I think that qualifies as very fluent.
That was thirty years ago though and it's tough to follow that interview real closely now...
Ja, aber Pohl.Herr Poll was his name.
I was in the same situation. He had me read Interpretation of Dreams by Sigmund Freud my senior year. Split it up over two semesters. Had to give an oral presentation and provide a written summary, both in English and Deutsch.
TCU über alles!
