# Have you ever had to speak fecking German?
As an English person, I speak my gutteral languages with a Dutch/Afrikaan pronounciation and to sing similar words but pronounce completely differently is causing me fecking headaches.

Sorry, letting off steam here.

*breathes deeply*

# Auf Deutsch?
I took 4 years of in high school. Its a great language if you want to overrun France, and not exactly romantic either.

# I can cope with that. I'm used to it
It's just the pronounciations when I'm singing 100 miles an hour. I keep tripping over my tongue/back of throat and I fear my teeth may fall out.
Or something.
Edit: At least I don't have to sing THAT!

# Ah, you're a language magnet!
I'm the opposite. I'm awful at learning languages nowadays, which sucks.
