Today was the first class of Theological German. The teacher showed this video to demonstrate the importance of learning language well. The scene shows an officer briefing a new Coast Guard cadet on his first day at work.

haha, i love this. My roomate and I, my first year at school, watched this video a number of times and laughed until we cried.
My theological French prof had a more encouraging clip for us on our first day of class: the opening lines of Star Wars, Episode IV in French. His point? It’s easy to translate something when you are familiar with the topic, and since most the foreign language articles you will read will be related to your field, then you have an advantage.
Hope that’s encouraging in some twisted way.
I trust that this class will be germane for your course of study.
Very funny, Todd! Would be funnier if it didn’t sound so much like our governator here in CA, doing his best to sink our economy.
