Several years ago I was talking with a German contractor at my workplace. He told me a story about his high school days. It seems that he was part of a French language class who made contact with a French high school class who were studying German. They decided to get together in a neutral place to practice on each other. When they did get together, they found that neither group could understand the attempts of the other to speak the language they were studying. They ended up being able to communicate only because they all knew English.
