Speaking German with an American Accent (and a Vicious Cold)

Trying to Speak the German Language with an American Accent
“I don’t… I don’t even know what I’m doing anymore. Please help me.”

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!

  1. 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.
