[redsimonDE]

What happened to my comment?

[missverstaendnis101]

YouTube is being unfriendly and deleted it when I was trying to reply last night! I was like 'nooooooooooooooooooo'. Can you remember what it said? You could repost and then I could reply like nothing ever happened. Silly YouTube.

[redsimonDE]

I got the reply notification of the comment but then there was nothing. :D

As for the comment, I only remember that I liked the thing with eigenes = eye + Guinness.

[nicPA9]

Ick hubba mine eye-guiness rad! rofl XD

[AericWinter]

A great example, Miss V. (=

Explaining our pronounciation to others can be tricky, especially if there are no direct equivalents in their language.

The German "CH" is often a problem for native speakers of english.

Thank God for the Scottish and their Loch Ness, which gives me an example for one kind of CH sound (as in "Sprache"). I've not found an example for its softer counterpart, however, as in "Licht".

Any pointers would be highly appreciated.

[missverstaendnis101]

The 'ch' is certainly tough. 'Loch' Ness is definitely closest for the harder 'ch'. The softer is more difficult - I've heard many German learners, for example, make 'Licht' rhyme with the English 'wished', which sounds really strange to me.

I often tell people to imagine they are trying to clean the roof of their mouth with spit from the back of their throat! Haha sounds strange I know, but it often works.

[rewboss]

You can say it "Lischd" if you want, but only if you're in your teens and part of the in-crowd.

One approach that works for at least some English speakers is to say the word "huge" in a loud whisper.

[AericWinter]

...and then use the h as a ch?

That's effin brilliant, rewboss!

[AericWinter]

Ha, typical MissV idea. I shall totally try that out next time.

Though I may want to take a few steps back first.

[Sadistica]

Aeric: Ich hätte da für "Licht" das weiche CH zumindest für die Polen zum Vergleich :D

Es gibt im Polnischen das "S" mit einem Strich drüber, das ähnlich klingt wie das weiche CH.

Im Englischen wird's schwieriger... oder unmöglich? :)

Miss V: cooles Video mal wieder :) Hoffe du hast meine Mail bekommen?

[missverstaendnis101]

Ja, hab schon geantwortet, glaube ich? Oder nicht... gahhhhh YouTube!

[Sadistica]

O_O hab nix bekommen

[PapaKenny777]

Wow, what a great lesson this was, Are you a teacher?

[missverstaendnis101]

Only on YouTube! But thanks :)

[lana1991]

ur german is better than the english of an english teacher from my old school :D ;)

[machtfuernacht]

rofl eye-guinness is so cool

[Aparecido11]

hubba hubba :D:D:D

[Herdpraemie]

eye & GUINNESS -> hilarious!

[Andy10815]

I want a bike!!!!

[skarlinx]

dont you say "Fahrrad" for bike? (at least in berlin, "Rad" is only a wheel, "Farhrad" is a bike)

PD: im learning too, im spanish "aber Ich wohne in Berlin seit 2 monate"

[skarlinx]

nvm, leo says "Rad" can be a bike too

[AericWinter]

Rad = Bike

Fahrrad = Bicycle

Same difference. (c;

P.S. Want to impress a German with your language skillz? Try "Krad", which is an old military abbreviation for "Kraftrad", meaning motorcycle.

[skarlinx]

oh, thanks!!!

[AericWinter]

Keine Ursache. (=

[Tatti77]

It's very common to say Fahrrad, because a Rad is also the wheel. But Rad is exactly like the English bike. You can use it. Everybody will understand. I usually say Drahtesel. Wire-Donkey.

[missverstaendnis101]

Drahtesel = awesome. I'm so using this, I hope you don't mind.

[pbalwaysinformed]

i'm german and i dont know one person who uses to say Drahtesel

[lana1991]

I do :D :P

Damit haben wir schonmal zwei :D

[baublebob]

I suppose it depends what your native alphabet is like. I once read that when Japanese are being taught how to pronounce 'silver', the closest they can get is 'shiburu' (シブル) because of the limitations of the available letters. Until they learn the English alphabet, that is.

[jajulaa]

yeah. eye-guinness.

yeay. :D keep making such videos.

[Aneurysma1983]

Oh wow, i like your "Eselsbrücken" ;)

Mostly "eigenes > eye + GUINNESS"

Wonderfull!!!
