That's a somewhat difficult language to learn. I dated a girl from
Germany once and she taught me a little but it was hard. She used to
be amused whenever I spoke in German. I would always say it very
harshly (from seeing all the old ww2 movies). She would laugh and
say, "Gary, German men speak softly too." eheh
