i would LOVE to be experienced enough with German to dabble in sarcasm.  and perhaps this was borderline, it was a reflexive "obvs"  (which i even translated as "of course")
 
	 
 
	I think i am coming up on 2 years German study (solo, Babbel, a few apps, youtube videos) and i can make out very slow basic sentences, and misunderstand those too often.  It is a tough language indeed.
