It's hard to say it 🙃
It takes some time for sure
In some dialects of English (including general American) it’s the same sound that’s in “human”
The h glide sort of thing
Not everyone says it like that
Most people do though
I will practice! Thanks for the assist you two.
It’s much more toward the front of the mouth than the ch in noch
That one’s way in the back, this is at the alveolar ridge
Np man
@John O - could I get a new invite thanks
@Freiheit - CA same

Ich kann sehr gut Deutsch sprechen 👌 dm me or just speak here
I can help you with your pesky german ch's
I can help anyone with their Mandarin chinese if they need it
Helping me get my accent to a understandable level would be greatly appreciated
@Johnboy I can do that. I lived in Montreal for a couple of years when I was a kid- my French is pretty good.
Anyone in @here well versed in Latin
I'm thinking of learning another language (either picking up Spanish where I left off in high school or learning German from scratch). Which would you recommend and is duolingo any good?
Duolingo is fine for vocabulary, it’s less good when it comes to internalizing grammar. There’s really no way around the latter without slogging through a reference grammar.
Any fluent German speakers here? I have two sentences for translation; eBay seller can't understand what google translate spit out.
"Can you please verify that there are no cracks in the plastic worm/reduction gear? My motor works but the gear is cracked and it prevents operation."
it's called a worm gear, but also known as a reduction gear
@BryceB-ND ☝️
Koennen sie bitte sagen, wenn dieses Stück arbeitet? is a shitty way to ask but thats the best i can do atm
Meinen Motor arbeitet aber der "Gang"(?) ist kaputt, also das ganzen Motor arbeitet nicht.
I'm rusty but try that.
Idk the nouns for plastic worm/reduction gear lol so that's basically asking if the motor works, and then explaining your situation with your current motor
Koennen sie bitte sagen, wenn dieses vorgelege arbeitet und auch, dass es nicht kaputt ist?
OK I will try these, thank you!
This guy in Germany has the only listing in the world for this exact part I need...but a cracked gear would be easy to miss. That's why I want him to check it first. It's hard to convey technical terms when they're not so readily learned in language programs.
Yeah and believe me, technical terms can be ridiculous in
in German
