    Granted. You blink, and when you open your eyes you’re in Germany. You’re a full German citizen. You own a lovely flat in Munich. Your phone is full of contacts - people and family and friends throughout Germany. You have a German driver’s license, you have a job at a German company, and your bank account is filled with Euros.

    You speak no German.

      You know all those news stories you hear about “Person wakes up and can only speak a language they never knew before”. That’s the cover story for these events.

      German man wakes up, can only speak English.
