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!

Oh God, My Wife Is German. 
Hey Man!
Stumbled across your blog the other day, I’ve not stopped laughing at it ever since :) Great work.
I’ve been learning German myself and I came across a great video tutorial for the R sound, if you want to check it out. I do some work for language learning blogs so I find myself drowning in this stuff haha! You can check it out here (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iXvml2zZ0tE&feature=youtu.be&a).
I sometimes try to do the Spanish rolled R when I need a clearer pronunciation OR just pretend like I’m hacking up a fucking furball.
Get well soon!

Hey you’re doing better than I am. I’m attempting to learn German from Duolingo. I can hear the cold in you… maybe you need more snot to do the rolling R? I just listen to Rammstein. Till can roll ’em out without even taking a extra breath. Love your blog. Love Germany. Also how did you find panties to fit your face so well ? Hope you feel better soon!

Haw haw! Thank you, Yvonne. I think the panties are just too small for my face, so I’m essentially stretching the shit out of them. My wife is not amused.
