Forced To Learn German?

The past week was a bit out of the ordinary where I had to brush up on my German
language skills in a hurry to sort out a couple issues I had with Forum Traffic.

In an earlier article, called; Sir...Could I See Your Surfing License And Registration 
Please?, 
I published my experience about my first encounter with the "all German" 
Forum that Klaus, the Admin of Forum Traffic, utilizes. When that "window" opened
up I had to set back in my chair for a second. "OK...this should be fun...all in German."

When I got that all cleared up, helping downline members and also let MMGers know
what was happening with sites that were suspended...the relaying of messages back
and forth to my German counterparts began to slow down.



That was until yesterday. Usually when I request a cashout, it's in my payment processor
within a few hours but this time it was over two days and I got a couple emails that
member's were experiencing the same delay although within the terms of 6 "business"
days which excludes weekends and holidays. In the midst of this I got paid so the
actual "proof' was reassuring to members who wanted to know what was happening.

Yesterday it was back to the Forum to see what I could find out and read that this will
be the 'norm' for a little while until some issues are taken care of but will be within the
TOS. The autosurf has been online for over two years now so this kind of thing happens
from time to time.

During my time in the Forum I was surprised at how quickly I was beginning to pick up
the language again. My Parents were born in Germany and they are in their 80's and still
speak it daily. I can understand German perfectly but reading and writing is...well...let's
say...a bit on the rough side.

Yesterday I was watching a rotator on an autosurf with sites flicking by and paused at
at a program I never seen before...hmmm..another autosurf and scrolled down...it was
all in Russian! Oh no!....forget that! Trying to master one foreign language in a week is
enough.
