An LTS librarian asked me yesterday whether I had studied German philosophy. Then she commented that I had an excellent command of German.
About the level of my German competence, I usually give the following illustration: I went to Germany for a summer course many years ago. On my third day there, I asked a woman on the street for direction, in German, of course. That woman replied by asking me whether I spoke English. That's how good my German was, and I'm afraid it's worse now.
I asked that librarian how she learned about my German. She didn't tell me, of course.
