Steve,
How many British folks have you heard talking their English. Or a German speaking English, even worse. Worst case is a French Frog who tries to speak English. You're lucky to only have to deal with different dialects like Alabamaese. I have multiple langue's around my little country. And they all come to see Holland in the summer. So I did what I could: Learn how to speak (and write) in English, German and French. Next on my wish-list is Italian

Derwil,
When are you scheduled (,when you do,) coming to Stuttgart?

Streiken Sie einen
Streik zwei
Streik drei

Ball einer
Ball zwei
Ball drei
Ball vier

safe
Draußen

These are the words you'll need to know even though most European athletes speak and understand English. I've done some international games while I was in the Navy and never had a problem with just using English. As long as you're using the mechanics that they understand, language isn't usually an issue.

I have 3 trips scheduled this year; one leaving on this Sunday for 2 weeks, others this Fall for longer duration. Relocation would probably happen next year though my company is still trying to figure out what it wants to do...
