Translator

As mentioned previously, I don't know German at all. Written German is especially hard to decipher because it looks nothing like English. I was very grateful to have people to show me around and order stuff for me at restaurants. I think if I were alone in Vienna it would have been a lot more difficult for me to get around. Although it did seem like all of Roman's friends spoke perfect English, so maybe everyone does. I did discover that spoken German has many similar sounding words to English. I found that I could understand numbers pretty well as they sound very similar to English.
