Bare is good enough for me- made some friends in 2010 at a clays shoot- originally from Dusseldorf and we conversed in German and did just fine, thanks all the same. Of course, spoken language bears the imprint of the Country and region from whence it had its origins- Germany is composed of Landers- similar to our States here-- just as the accents you may here in English can be waaay different from Sweet Home Alabama to Thief River Falls, Minnesota- same is true regarding German-
Hautpt Deutsch- spoken by the Grafs, Vons and High Born Court attending Germans is a bit different than you would hear in Essen or in Kiel--
