It just dawned on me that I don't know the the proper pronunciation for some of the words that I often see here. Considering how shocked I was when I first found out it's a Porschuhh instead of Porsh (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) , I am wondering how far off I am on my imagined pronunciations.
So how do you say Fuch, Mahle, Boge(is that German?), ATE, Bremsflussigheit... I know there are more, but I can't think of them now. |

Pet Peeves! I know this isn't 914 stuff....but. What is the diff between a "bimmer" & a "beemer". I know it' off topic, but it bugs me. MY understanding for year is that a "bimmer" was a car & a "beemer" was a bike. Like I said, It bugs me & I don't even particularly care for BMW people - like the cars, though. I question YOU because, like me, you ARE opinionated 7 not afraid to share it! |

3 years of German in High School, and the most I remember is...
Du bist eine billige schlampe. and Wo ist die toilette? It suprising how much I can still understand if I read it. But speaking, listening, and trying to form written sentences myself are all gone now. |

Fellows, don’t forget that when writing German, all nouns are capitalized. I lost many points in my classes in Luxembourg because of that. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)
