I wonder if the author forgot that Dobin’s mom can speak German? In the Berlin arc, she was able to speak fluently, and converse with the Berlin philharmonic people. And the backstory was that she lived in Berlin for a while, and the dad would often fly into Berlin to visit her. But in the Vienna arc, all of a sudden she can’t understand German, and needs Dobin to translate for her. Maybe the author didnt realize both Germany and Austria speak German? The accent might be different, but the language is the same.
