    ...but on the German channels it seems to run only in German/English- so I´ll definitely try to get my hands on the original then.
    Spanish has only recently been introduced on a greater scale at German schools and I am learning it at the moment as a hobby.

    The integration of words from other languages into German is a good sign, I think. It shows that the German language is alive and kicking. There even seem to be real "fads" for one language or the other: Latin and Greek in the Middle Ages, in the 18th century French, then later on English, Polish and now Turkish.
    I tend to pick up some smattering from my pupils, too- it´s just that I am really hopeless when it comes to Asian languages. When I want to amuse my Chinese pupils I just have to try to say something in Cantonese- gets them ROTFL every time.
