I studied German at school. I lived in Berlin for two years and had a German girlfriend for five years, so I don't find speaking German particularly difficult. Singing was slightly more difficult.

You must be clever, Tracey to do these forgeries." "She's not clever. I did them," yelled Frieda. "You'll get five years." "She did them." From Halfpennies and Blue Vinyl
