Haha, anyone who really speaks 20 languages is so unusually gifted that it is far from obvious that their advice is applicable to any other mere mortal.
Yes. But in this case, it does seem like good advice, if one is reasonably able to follow it. If you want, you can drop by and we can discuss it, with you speaking German, so that I might improve my [terrible] German. I can even give you some German beer to give a proper ambiance to the discussion.
Since you are a real German (or so you say), you may want to comment on my pronunciation.
