Phone Calls to Germany

Yesterday Matthias made a few calls to Germany to settle up some details. He also called home and talked to his Oma who asked him if I spoke German. Matthias told her I knew how to say a few phrases. She told him that she felt bad that she couldn't speak English. That totally floored me!! Of course it's totally understandable that she doesn't speak English!! Matthias told her it was fine and that we'd spend our time playing Yahtzee. Matthias supposedly told her that when we come back in December I'd be fluent in German. I seriously hope he was kidding!
