I’ve finally started learning German. I have no prior knowledge of the language nor of any other Germanic language besides English. I’ve been using Michel Thomas’ language course which is really nice, but sometimes I get confused because he speaks German too fast. I don’t if it’s because he’s a Polish war survivor thus being used to German during the War II or if it’s because German is really fast or if I’m just too dumb to get used to it. His students obviously can’t pronounce a thing which makes things worse. Anyhow, it seems that I can’t pronounce ich and nicht too. :( I’ve been looking for some videos on Youtube to see if I can learn how to pronounce it, but everytime I try to pronounce it, it sounds different – and I don’t know which version is right. Oh well… I will try some sites focused on people learning German to see if I can find something useful. 10 months ago
