I definitely plan to explore the French/German border lands and towns more closely now. Luxembourg may very well be next. ;)
I loved the Alsatian dialect -- thankfully, they kept to French for me, but they had that clear and strong Germanic sound to their accent. Lovely.
How did you find the TV reports? Were you able to follow what was being said even through the lapses into French? Am wondering how I would fare with the German.
