I took French as a second foreign language (not like we had an option x'D they only taught English and French where I studied), but I've been super interested in German for some years now. It's mostly my german mutual's fault, they share a lot of cool jokes and expressions like the one above all the time and I love it.
I still need to learn the basics tho >.>" I only know.... that ich means I and very specific expressions like the one above hahahaha (thankfully google translator is always there)
