For Great Learnings!

I just sent off my enrolment for 'Beginning German 1' through the ANU continuing ed. people. Twenty hours, 6-8pm on a Wednesday from some time in March. Some people take dancing lessons or go to the gym or join dog-walking clubs... I collect languages. And hey, this one isn't dead yet!

I'm wondering if, if I learn German, I will be able to read Middle High German? That would be FUN. I could read cross-dressing medieval german erotic poetry in the original!

I don't see why not! My Mum is learning German for her theological studies (because lots of the important texts are in German as their original language). I don't know if she's going to join you reading cross-dressing medieval german erotic poetry though :P

Cross-dressing medieval erotic poetry is the BEST. *beams happily*

Well I'm glad you've found your highly (ha ha) specialised niche ;)
