My parents were born there, so I may have a jaded view, but my friends and I try to go to Oktoberfest every other year, granted I have family and friends there, but EVERYONE goes out of their way to introduce themselves and then tries to discuss politics with me.
I think my friends would have been lost if I was not partially fluent in the language, but all in all, once people found out we were American, they couldn't get enough of us.
All in all, southern Germany is the best part to visit (Stutgart, Munich, Black Forect (Schwartzwald), and then you can drive to Salzburg and Innsbruck Austria, which are probably the two most beautiful cities in the World.
All you need to know what to say is:
"Ein Bier Bitte" - one beer please
"Wo ist die W.C. (pron. vay tsay)" - where's the bathroom?
