    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” :))

    welches
    it’s a jelly brand in America.

    Haupt but that’s because its my buddies last name…

    no offense but these are apt to cause confusion.

    nein. in German it is no but sounds like English number 9

    sure there’s more but we are just learning and begginers

    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??! 🙂

    Knorke, töfte and dufte are funny. Just because they sound even for german people extremely stupid.
