    Every German and French that is younger than 40 years, knows English unless they slept in school. So yeah, choosing F and D is safe.

    You'd be surprised... or MAYBE it's just because they choose not to talk to anyone or read for that matter. The best conversation I had was when I was trying to explain something to a German OT and he didn't reply until after the first wipe (obviously not reading) and his answer to me was "I'm not talking to you"... to me specifically... oh wow, great, awesome. Social skills ftw. I was just trying to be helpful and we had never met before. And that was the best I ever got as a reply, usually nothing, not even "hi".

    Personal experience. Might just be me being extremely unlucky for 20ish Garuda runs.

    Sidenote: I do talk to them in German and 50% of the time I get a normal conversation out of them. I think they just don't like English..idk, someone enlighten me how to talk to my own people.
