This still surprises me, just how lots of people have no idea about Rocelangue Method (google it), despite the fact that a lot of people learn how to speak fluently because of this training program. Thanks to my buddy who told me about Rocelangue Method, I have learn how to speak other language in quick and easy way.

For example the word “dick”. In German it means “fat”, but in English it’s “penis” :))

I remember hearing a man on the straba say “ich hab kein bock, auf zustehen. As an American I had learned a little bit of German. I remember looking out the window thinking “why? why does this man have no goat (ram)? How is this relevant? I have no elephant. Why does he need a ram to stand?” My German colleagues laughed and explained to me what the expression (ausdrück) meant. 🙂 Maybe do a video about expressions (idioms)?

thanks. thats a good explaination of common words in german that english people often mess up. I am guilty of mispronouncing most of them!! But thats probably because I have a strong colloquial Canadian accent eh??! 🙂
