Adventures in Languages I Don’t Master

I just did an hour long interview in German. A language that I — god help me — speak at a dumb 5-year-old’s level. Still, it went surprisingly well. In part because the guy I was interviewing was very patient. In part because my limited German helped me stick to the basic why, where, what, when, who questions, and then just shut up and let the other person speak. A useful exercise in minimizing my own blather when interviewing. Perhaps I should do this more often.

So, now that I have my two scheduled Berlin interviews out of the way I think I am going to kick back even more than I have so far. First, a quick jog, then a night on the town.
