I am German and when I was about 6 or 7 I learned a few English words like mom and dad (my first complete sentence was daddy go to bed)-well besides the point. For a very long time I believed that German was the only correct way of saying anything and foreign languages were just for people who were to stupid to learn German...I gave up that believe when I told my dad about a week after I first had that though....he actually kinda got mad at me.
