successfully had a full-out conversation in which i gave proper and accurate directions as well as time table information regarding train departures and arrivals. i neither had to ask the lady to repeat anything she said nor did that awkward thing where i stutter and drop entire syllables as i try to slur words together in a fashion that should only be appropriate for native speakers. i also used an incorrect preposition, and, because the lady was also foreign and must have deemed me "more german" because i'm blonder and whiter, she began to use it too.
