Ever since the holidays, I’ve been slammed with work from my graphic design business. My wife and I are also raising a beagle puppy, and, as a bonus, I caught a wicked cold this past weekend. In short, I had no time to write a proper blog post for you this week. Instead, I slapped a pair of my wife’s panties over my head (in a half-assed attempt to retain some form of anonymity) and recorded this video, wherein I attempt to speak the German language and point out one aspect I find particularly difficult to deal with — the guttural “R.”
Here’s the video. I hope you dig it. ***WARNING*** I think I dropped an F-bomb in there somewhere…
Thank you for watching and have an awesome day!

Haha funny, good laugh to see how hard it is to pronounce these things as an native english speaker.

That guttural “R” is tough, man. Are you German?

Try speaking German when you are German but can’t do the R anymore because you didn’t know that it was a ‘uvular’ sound and your uvula,was removed. Ugh….
Now I sound like I am hacking and coughing up a fur ball when I try.
