I related so well to not being able to push myself to read German. I speak German fluently but I simply can't sit down and enjoy a German novel. I also understand how German can sound "shockingly" beautiful when some people speak it. And I grew up with French speakers who equated speaking German to hacking. This piece was lovely.
