German in Morocco

Yesterday marked my first German class in Morocco. In said class, I found out that I have zero clue how to pronounce the German language, so we'll see where this whole flight of fancy thing goes.
The one thing that seems nice about German is that there are some clear phonetic similarities in the language - since English came from German - and the grammatical system does not seem ridiculously hard. I think I'll stick it out for another few classes so I can talk to Ben in German when I get back to GWU.
