Blaster-Hedgie:
Schools in the UK are pretty bad at teaching languages since we don't start learning anything foreign until age 10, which is much too late to pick up anything useful. I can speak small amounts of German though, and I'm sure once I hear the accent and words being spoken the phrases will come back to me, as for most of us who are in the same situation.
Just out of interest, when do German schools begin teaching students English and other foreign languages?

It used to be at age 10, in 5th grade.
Nowadays they are sometimes starting earlier, but it is probably too early to say whether this works out better in the end, as we'll need to wait for those students to come out of school.
I started with Latin in 5th grade, then got English in 7th grade.
What really taught me English was when a video rental store opened in the US Army base near my hometown. They had all the movies I wanted to see on videotape before they would even be released into our cinemas. So I formed the habit of watching movies in their original language.

Here's a possible stupid question!
I do not have to pay for a room when I arrive, yes? I'm pretty sure I already have shortly after I registered. Nothing is blinking on my registration page.
