Beginning in January of 1947, when I was almost three, my
father, mother, older brother and I lived for two years in Augsberg and
Wiesbaden, Germany. Apparently my
brother and I became quite proficient in German…because I just came across this
article in the Boise, Idaho newspaper from 1949. We had just returned from our adventures living
abroad.
According to the article, my
brother and I had “Mastered the Berlin Brogue.”
Another article in the Deseret News says that “ the two acted as interpreters
for their mother on shopping tours….”
Okay, well, will that “Berlin Brogue” kick back in 66 years later? Because today, my husband and I begin a grand
adventure in Germany for one month.
And, I’m expecting to
be able to recall all that German from those many years ago! Ha Ha!
