Mark you must think of each proggy lang that you know as another language. Bloodie clever working in all these techy speaks, I've forgotten all mine.
But, I've been able to keep the German going.

Myself, Mike and a few others have been able to keep our German going by visiting the annual meet every year, so that we can still remember -

It's my second home with lots of friends thereabouts.

These are also handy:-

Wie heißt du?
Wohin gehst du?
Darf ich mit dir kommen?
