I'm curious to see about the language as well. I'm visiting MUC next week (out from the bay area) and I wouldn't mind meeting some HNfolk, but I don't think my 5.2-word Deutsche vocabulary will cut it.
- HSO 15y agoI don't think this should be a problem. After all, HN is an English-speaking community. What is usually done in such situations is, ask if there are any non-German speakers (or should that be German non-speakers?!) in the group and if yes, switch to English. Private conversations are what they are, of course.
- jcblitz 15y agoI'm was in Munich on Monday and in Jena for the rest of the week coming from the Philadelphia area. In general, people speak English very well. I know a little bit of German and try to speak it as much as possible, but people pick up right away I'm not good at it and they start speaking English. I would imagine you'll have no issues at the HN meetup like someone else said, it's an English speaking community.
