Interesting, and very good point. See, I bet you there is money to be made here then. So let's say I reach Advanced Level German, both written and spoken. Then I travel to Germany for a year to become Fluent. While there, I learn how to speak and write erotic German. I come back here to the US and offer my services. Would it work? How would anyone be able to tell if I was really legit? Also, why wouldn't you be able to find someone who is in Germany who can do this? Most Germans learn English as a second language now. Most of the young people speak it.

Or is German a bad choice? I just happen to like German. Everyone else is learning Spanish, and it's very competitive. I took German in HS, and now I want to relearn what I've forgotten and go deeper into the language than I did before.
