Last night, I spoke with Ambrose via Skype. He's been in Germany for like, four years already and so I asked him if he can now speak in fluent, conversational Deutsch.
"Yes I can. I had no choice but to learn the language," he said.
"In one of those scientific conferences, I even asked some questions in German," he added, proving once and for all that he has conquered Goethe's language.
"And?" Still skeptical I asked him, "they understood you?"
"Yeah."
He's currently writing his dissertation in gasp! solar physics! I wonder if his computations can still fill up a whole cartolina or manila paper.
