A friend (American) was backpacking in Ireland and fell in with a group of Germans. She spoke no German but their English was good. After a day or two of traveling together, one of the Germans turned to another and said, âIch habe Wasser in meinen Schuhen,â to which my friend said âme too,â without noticing they had switched into German. Itâs funny how quick that can happen where there are very clear correspondences. (edit: German inflectional endings!)

English man here, it felt very strange because I could follow along listening to the bits about the doe, boars, river, hills and bears and the place names of (S)Nottingham, Derby and York.
But there whole chunks I couldn't parse.
I suppose it helps my grandfather was from York and spread some of that heritage to me.
My father is also very keen on having a broad vocabulary so I've kept a lot of the different variations of words in my head.
It was all not quite right to me, it was easier to understand when not reading.
