      No, we do actually appreciate when people speak good German, we just know it’s an absolute pain and want to be nice.

      Nah keep going. Most germans are just excited at the opportunity to speak english, but if you tell them that you would like to practice german, most will understand.

      Lived in Germany for over a year.

      Id say over 90% of conversations I started in German turned to English. They were all excited to use the english they had learned in school “cause no one wants to speak english but I want to practice my skills”

      Like, you all want to speak english, just switch over. Even the kids were more excited to speak english cause everything uses “the”

      Der die das is too much to use for even the native speakers haha
