Fun with Phonetic Pronunication (video)

By Miss-Verständnis ⋅ April 18, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I teach how to (badly?) pronounce a German sentence:
Ich habe mein eigenes Rad. (I have my own bike.)

The pronunciation might not be perfect, but you’ll be understood – which I think is the most important part!

  1. Still my personal favorite:

    “HOW UP DO HIGH KNEE!”

  4. I know I guy (ok, he was my english teacher for 2 years, now you know who’s guilty) who had a band called Big Hearts Gloom Part (maybe they still exist?), which, pronounced in a funny way, sounds like ’sticky junk’ in Viennese dialect (Bickats Glumpad).
