I'm horrible at reading German. I was once in the butcher shop and a new American lady came in and wanted to make one of the package recipes. I had the butcher read it to me so I could translate it into English for her. Apparently his English was just as good as mine because when I made a mistake he corrected me in perfect English.
Speaking of German Butcher shops, I used to get a gas out of watching him go in, in the morning. He had a steer pulling his cart, loaded with chickens and pigs tied off to the back. Occasionally he'd have a goat or sheep tied on too. In to the barn they went and later into the meat counter. But when I'd walk to work, we'd chat the whole way.
