I'm actually studying German now for my job. Interesting fact - Germans have no idea how to count. Let me explain:
When a German sees the number 23 the way they will read it is "three twenty". 123 becomes "One Hundred Three Twenty". VERY confusing when you work in accounting.
Anyway - back on topic. Being around a native speaker will
absolutely help. And remember to not be afraid to try. Most native speakers are very forgiving of foreign speakers attempting to speak their language. The fact that you are putting in the effort is enough to earn their respect
