I sat in on Guenther's first German class last night. 15 people signed up for it and many of them mentioned that they've been wanting something like this for a long time but haven't been able to find anyone teaching German outside of high school or college. I still can't figure out why "they" don't think that anyone wants to learn German. It's almost as if there's this unspoken agreement to not do anything extra to promote German culture, in the positive sense, that is. But these people seemed really excited about it.
