Or, more properly, "On my worst enemy, German is a language I would not 
wish."

In graduate school, I had a friend who studied philosophy in Heidelberg 
for a year; he sent periodic letters. At first, they made relatively 
good sense in English, but gradually his verbs kept "slipping." By the 
end of the year, I could hardly understand his English; all his English 
verbs were huddled up at the end of all his English sentences just like 
good respectable German verbs would do.
