I took German for a few years and went to Germany between my junior and senior years of high school. It was an absolute blast, and I was exposed to a lot of German culture. One thing we all learned was the traditional drinking songs and popular music on the radio, because people would come back from the bars at night and go past our hotel, or we'd see them in the subways and streets of Munich. I have a few songs still saved from that trip which are really cool.

Going back to my heritage, I am Polish and have a somewhat strong background. From that, I know a few broken phrases and such, and a handful of songs.
