Hahahahaha! No, she's pretty much over me now, though I still have hope! I've wanted to learn German for years (Search for an old thread on here called leaning german :-) ) but she gave me the kickstart I needed to actually do it, and I have to say I really enjoy the language!
Well, she can understand the English words you are saying, but, if you want she really
understands you, you need to know how things are done in Germany, what the thoughts of Germany are, so to say. You need to understand her 'surroundings'. You need to understand the subtleties, the humour, the cliche's, the sayings, the habits, everything.
