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. Not so bad, really ;-) I hope I’m not the only one picking up on the fact that Möhren in fact are not rot sondern orange! Oh, and I’m just going to write the word Unterhose for the fun of it because I hope that it will bring some weird google searchers to your site :D Thühüß!!

    1. Not so swell unfortunately. Do you remember 2016, the Year from Hell? Well, it came after us as well. Right until the 31st when the last minor catastrophe almost forced us to shut down our business. However, things have been looking up since then, so maybe we will resume a semblance of normalcy in our lives soon.

    2. You are a star! Unfortunately, customers we do have. What we lack right now is a place to continue (working on it at the moment). I will take you up on the offer though if I need help, promise! Thanks so much for offering :)
