I've learnt my fair share in 4 years of school lessons. As long as it's something like "Wo is die toilette, bitte?", then I'm fine and dandy. I suppose I could hold a very simple conversation if forced to.
I'd love to learn more... maybe if I go and live in Germany for a year or two I'll pick it up.
I assume you know quite a bit of German?
