During our visit to Austria we attended two Austrian church services. These were not too different from our own church services except in a different language, German.
Before Jo and I went out to Austria we listened to some German language CDs in the car and picked up some basic German. I was amazed at how much of a help this was in day-to-day life, I'm really glad I put the effort in to learn it. However, it wasn't so much use for the Sunday morning sermon. I did try to understand it with my limited German but what I thought I understood turned out to be wrong when we were given the English translation by one of the Oasis Team. I was so grateful to them for the translation.
Interestingly many of their songs are our English songs translated to German. I could remember English words for some songs, and others I just sang in German but could understand most words. We were lucky enough to have one or two songs sung in English as well.
