Also known as why the hell am I always walking around singing to myself a strange language!!
Since my brain seems to be programmed to memorize/remember song lyrics and music this is one of the tools that I am using to get my German skills back. My desk looks like a German dictionary and grammar lesson got into a fight and both came out as losers! There are random bits of paper with German words and phrases written all over them. (And I should note that its sometimes very badly misspelled German)
I've been pretty much just listening to Woflsheim and Peter Heppner non-stop for the past 2 months. While the majority of the music is in English there are some beautiful German songs and Peter has done quite a few side projects with other artists that are in German. I have learned some very "colorful" phrases that I can now say in German!!
So far one hurdle that I have encountered with the spoken language is that the German 'R' is very different from the Spanish 'R'. As someone who can actually sound out and hear the difference between the Spanish 'R' and 'RR' I have to fight my natural propensity to roll my R's!
