I dunno.  I got a bit irritated with a local Audi representative on our trip
to Ingolstadt last year and expressed an opinion rather forcibly.  Telling
it like it is, I suppose you could call it.

Afterwards another of Audi's team came up to me and very tentatively said:
"Are you German?"

So I suppose I could claim to be fluent.
