    Not surprising; it’s far more practical to get information across by switching to a language you both speak fluently. If you ask the other person to help you practice the language, it would change the task from “information” to “training”, and you’d probably have better luck in speaking German if that’s the expressed goal.

    Communicate your wants, or you’ll end up with the most efficient route to the end of the interaction. 'Tis the German way.
