Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Germany to-do list:

1. Airplane ticket - check!
2. Packing list - check!
3. Actually packing - in progress...
4. Excitement level - CHECK!!!
5. Learn German - wait, what??

I may or may not need to pass a German language test before receiving my visa. Minor details. I guess that means I have 30 days to learn as much German as humanly possible. Wish me luck!
