<p>Auf Englisch: I studied it informally for two years before high school (it wasn’t offered at my middle school). I have studied it for three years at high school but I tested out of German III, so I have four years’ worth of material under my belt. I am in German IV right now and will be taking AP German (and the AP test) next year.</p>
<p>And trust me, I’m sure you will be better than me soon if you aren’t already. I am using the term “almost fluent” somewhat liberally. ;D</p>
