      I’m a native English speaker with very good German married to a native German speaker and every few weeks I come across something that I just don’t get. My husband has now developed a Pavlovian response to me saying “so you remember Zangendeutsch?”

        I’m curious: is it intuitive for you once you know or confusing or funny or all of the above?
