A bit of an odd title as it currently is "8 English words that German can't pronounce" . Maybe change it to "Words west Germanic language speakers can't pronounce"? Since there are 3x German and 2x Dutch speakers.
-
„Words Germans can’t pronounce“ 😂 weird because they obviously can pronounce all of these
-
1 Swiss Girl, 1 Austrian Girl, 1 Belgian Girl, 1 Dutch Girl and only 1 German girl that’s not even entirely German and yet you take „words that GERMANS can’t pronounce“ as a title 😂🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
-
They all did well 🎉! Great pronouncination!
-
Don't forget "jewelry" and "brewery" 😅
-
Nessa is so wholesome. Her smile just makes my day.
-
What do a German, Dutch, Austrian, Belgian and a Swiss have in common? They all speak a little bit of Korean apparently.
-
The World Friends studio picked some of the most difficult words, but each young lady did fantastic! I give them all A+.
-
Parallel is the hardest for me lol
-
I'm from Japan and I can't say "masks" and the name "Beverly." I can't handle the S-K-S combination and having a "B" and a "V" in one world. It's easier for me to say "Beverly" or "Veverly."
-
What about "February" and "Worcestershire Sauce?" 🙂
-
My hardest word as a non-native speaker is still „inconvenience". I will never learn to pronounce this word correctly in this life.
-
SQ combination unusual in English? Square, Squire, Squeak, squash, squid, squat, squirm, squeal. not so much. Maybe not common, but not unusual.
-
It's probably worth clarifying that these pronunciation forms being used to compare are *North American English. A few of the girls pronounced things that were picked up as being incorrect, but are actually perfect in other non-rhotic regional English varieties. For instance, as an Australian: [ # = schwa] Rural - Roo-rl Literally - Lich-tr#-lee Folk - Foke (Always rhymes with 'Oak*) However- How-eh-v# Iron - I-y#n (never has an 'r' sound
-
The Dutch girl makes me want to give Dutch a try 😅

English is a Germanic language, but many English words are borrowed from other languages, especially French and Latin. According to some estimates, about 30% of English words are of French origin and about 60% are of Latin origin. This means that roughly a third of English words are derived from French and around three-fifths are derived from Latin
-
Why does everyone speak Korean?
-
The hardest English word to pronounce for a German is "sixths".
-
I am German and I find it hard to pronounce the word Dollar in the American way as there is only one vowel in this word, the A is silent and the R is rhotic. Buck's so much easier.
-
English is also germanic
