[Sca-cooks] Language was medieval steaks

I learned German from Anna Grossam when I was a toddler in German. 
Relearned it as a teenager in Germany.  Struggled with it in high school 
there.  And failed miserably at it in college.  I can still sorta read the 
basics and fill in with a dictionary.

Now that I am gainfully retired, I may go back and study some languages 
where I don't need to worry about the grade.
