In short do you think Rei knows german?

reason pro:
we see Rei read a german book


Reason contra:
- Rei never speaks german (even Shinji bumbles the occasional german line)
- Rei isolates herself troughout the school scenes and with the exception of episode 12 where she orders a dinner never speaks to anyone who isn't a NERV employee
- Rei seemed to have chosen a german book with a lot of pictures
- Rei is reading in fullshine with no pigment in her irises essentialy with max dilated pupils (she might be practical blind) but perhaps we can ignore that because her eyes aren't tearing and we never see her wearing any sunshades anyway.
- Rei might have been avoiding Asuka not wanting to be the bad person she might have set herself up with the unrealistic prospect to learn basic german before introducing herself

Yeahh she can probably read and write in German, but she can't speak it. Just like how Asuka can speak in Japanese, but can't read or write it. Parallels, man.
