In preparation for heading to Germany, in light of all the German we didn't keep studying like we had intended to, we plastered index cards all over the apartment last night identifying objects with their German names. The cards tell me that I am sitting at "der Computer", looking at "der Bildschirm" as I tap away at "die Tastatur". Probably not critical words I grant you, but many of the others are much more useful. Hopefully that plus some targeted studying of important words (we didn't find any prepositions or adjectives around the apartment, unfortunately) will slightly reduce our ignorance before we strike out.
And hopefully the week in France won't erase what limited German we have...
