Why are Americans incapable of pronouncing German surnames? Especially when your country is full of them, if you know what I mean.
>>387800959
americans are incapable of pronouncing anything outside of their own country.

the rule for german is easy: if it's ie, it's a long e, if it's ei, it's a long i

Still no one mentioned that you have to pronounce st in german with a "sh"-sound. So it should be pronounced Volfanshtine.

Not him but Marry-o, while not merry-o, is still an incorrect way of saying it. It's as easy as listening to the character say it and mimic it (without the accent).

it only sounds "accent free" in your head.
I live in Connecticut and I have no idea what you yuros are talking about, everyone around here pronounces everything correctly. Hell, all of New England speaks "the Queen's English" a lot better than you bongs and your retarded slang.
>>387811909

>>387805650
Pronouncing words correctly is simply a sign of knowledge, only dumb, arrogant people would "cringe" at that.
I mean if you have an English substitute, like munich, then yes by all means say it, but if you are too dense to pronounce simple words like "bratwurst", which require you to pronounce zero foreign sounds, it simply means you don't know any better, so don't get upset if other people do.

Faking an English or masking your own accent isn't that hard: Back in school some kids got to go on an exchange for half a year. As soon as they came back they all had this really obnoxious accent. You could tell it wasn't natural, but the native accent was gone. You probably only speak one language, so it's hard for you to understand how the process of learning one works, but you lose your accent over time if you keep trying.
