Yeah, being norwegian, I've spend quite a bit of time in Iceland (one of my earliest memories is of the waiting lounge at Keflavik Int'l Airport) and its a doozy though. My boss speaks fluent norwegain, danish, swedish, dutch, german, and yiddish and has a solid grasp of finnish, so i think he'll do ok.Originally Posted by Joel_Cairo
Aah. One more thing about german language.Originally Posted by Buddy Love
That's both wrong. You don't know what you're talking about.Originally Posted by Mr Sand
Then what is correct? I took German for 4 years in high school and 3 years in College. Both instructors were from Germany and that's what we were taught as far as how they say "no" in German. Please enlighten me.Originally Posted by mrchapel
my mom is from the southwest corner of germany, born about a mile from the Rhine, across which is Alsace. There they don't nay "nein", they say it "neeh". They also pronounce "vielleicht" as if it were "fill-eesht".Originally Posted by Joel_Cairo

The "eesht" is the regional difference. Most Germans will pronounce it "ichked" which is difficult for a native English speaker to pronounce. Unfortunately, when I took German they made us learn it the hard way instead of with the regional dialect.Originally Posted by montecristo#4

Interesting. My college instructor taught us to say it "v-leisht" where the ch is a soft sh. "Ich" was "Esh". High school was different; taught us that the ch was a k sound; "Ich" was "Eek". Rather odd.Originally Posted by mrchapel
That V was pronounced as an F, right? If not, that was one stupendoulsy underqualified teacher.Originally Posted by Joel_Cairo

Yeah "hochdeutsch". Its about as real as the "hollywood dialect" of the Golden Age, when movie stars always seemed vaguely british.Originally Posted by Joel_Cairo
