From doing just that I can tell that at least one title from that list isn't.

Let's see if I can remember the days of the week: Montag, Dienstag... blimey... Mittwoch! Barely... Donnerstag, I think. Freitag... Okay, legitimately can't untangle Saturday from many different (but confusingly similar) namings in different languages. Sonntag... Yep. Quite pathetic.

I mean, if I had occasion to productively use the language every day... But I mean, I don't live in a German-speaking country, and online, well, you have to actually set aside a significant amount of time. For example, you might take 10 minutes to write what you need on a forum like this... But for me that same amount information could easily expand into 2 hours if I had to convey it in German, what with checking and rechecking the connotations, conjugations and (can we get another alliteration?)... er, cases? Well, grammatical gender, really... Sigh.
