RelaX

Being a Dutch guy and accustomed to many German tourists, I would second HeAtHeNs advice to learn German, Germans (like the French) take their language seriously and most of the time won't speak anything else than German unless their in a REALLY REALLY good mood or if their young...
Other than that... I've been to Germany myself and the beer is the best, except maybe beer from Belgium (I have a weakness for Palm) .
