This Is Gentlemanly: Learn A Language

I'm working on my German.  When I was a kid, I went to German school.  We spoke in German, learned things like math and science in German, and generally just spoke friggin' German.  Hence the moniker "German school."  I learned Spanish in high school, enough so that when I eventually moved to Washington Heights after college, I could get along in my neighborhood with a small shred of dignity intact.  I took German in college, and it absolutely mystified me.  It's a tough language.  It never really stuck.  Anyway, so I've been using duolingo to try to do my ancestors proud.  Gentlemen, perhaps you've got a knowledge of fine wine and fabrics with a high thread count, the finest in hipster music and a penchant for history's more interesting moments.  Want to bed that feller or lady, though?  Foreign language, bitches.  Work that brain.
