Schwabing's broad, cafe-lined Leopoldstrasse also throngs with students from Ludwig-Maximilian's University, Germany's largest, with 22,000 enrollment. In bohemian bistros like the See-rose, where Kandinsky once caroused, the talk runs the gamut from Johnson (Uwe) to Johnson (Lyndon), while the beer flows on and on. But unlike the emaciated, hollow-eyed beatniks of Paris and New York, Munich's young bohemians exude a ruddy outdoor glow...

The system was devised by Charles Berlitz's mustachioed grandfather, Maximilian, who came out of the Black Forest 85 years ago to start a language business in Providence, went on to engage such temporary teachers as Leon Trotsky and James Joyce. Using The Method, native-born instructors today speak in class only the language they teach, forbid English, repeat constantly, and guide befuddled beginners with props and pictures. Nelson Rockefeller learned his Spanish that way, and Douglas Dillon perfected...
