How is it that *everyone* in the entire world knows how to sing that song? "Mein Hut es hat drei Ecken..." What is WITH that song?

Pointing is good. German's a pretty clear language, you'll probably find you pick up words pretty quickly. Kaffee and Kuche and Bier and Wein and so on are all pretty easy to get. And just say Danke a lot! ;) I'm sure you'll be fine!
