Hey Clayton,
Now that I can hear again (and by the way, I'm getting a second cochlear so sometime in October I will officially become a person with normal hearing) I have been trying to re-learn German.
As part of my quest I'm going back to Berlin in about two weeks to visit Am Heggawinkle, the street where I grew up, and to visit the Berliner Ensemble to pay hommage to Heiner Muller with whom I worked on his play Mauser when he was in Texas.
If I can get the hang of the language again, let's brainstorm together and make up a variant of it just for Winedale!
One more thing-- I'm in London now and due to have tea soon with Gail Palermo McDonald! If anyone else is due to be in London between now and June 18th please let me know. We can meet for a pint and work on that dialect. love, Terry

Sweet memories of the quaint German dialect at Winedale and Round Top. Trying to preserve it is a worthy effort, and something I'd like to contribute to. Need to do something useful with my life.
German was about the only language (including English) for which I ever had any aptitude. If you need a fellow conspirator, even of the "fetch and carry" variety, count me in. I could stand the exercise (both linguistic and physical).

Straying from the topic a bit, but (to me) you can't have much more fun with German than this:

Well, hell, if we're going to stray on the subject of the German language:

P.S.: I will always treasure that Tex-Deutsch accent.

There was also a German class that did plays at Winedale in the spring. The year I partcipated it was did Duerenmatt's Der Besuch der alten Dame. It was after I had done SatW twice, and I remember a fun conversation with Gloria et al about the moment they recognized me (I was wearing a crazy orange wig) and then similarities and differences to the Texas Deutsch. (The fact that I always sound like a Frenchwoman speaking German probably exaggerated that ...)
