English commands ARE 'cooler': cool in the sense of trendy, when used in Germany (some say); cool in the sense of brilliantly sensible, when used in USA. IMO! So, I have zero worries about you maintaining the perfect air pressure in your tires...<br />PS -Found you recently, have done some catching up now, need to correct myself: You're *way* past the "getting to know" Brockle stage!

He has some free video lectures online at his website (you will have to Google.) They will help you learn the language of protection sports. I listen to them while I work. Some of them I've heard 10 times and I'm still getting the nuances.

So they use German commands? While, get this, here in Germany they've started using English commands: sit is cooler than sitz, down is cooler than platz, I guess.
