How surprising to hear that you have been asked if you were Scottish, too, when you were in the States, Alex.
guys in lederhosen, the River Rhine
layball:
Oh, it will be required. Trust me.I live at said river, and I could wear lederhosen if required.
Oh, it will be required. Trust me.
Sure, I'll just pop 'round to the local department store and pick up a pair. :er:but those i have are from the times when i was 5 or 6 years old!
If you bring some larger Lederhosen, I might put them on.
How surprising to hear that you have been asked if you were Scottish, too, when you were in the States, Alex. For so was I and until today I am wondering what made that person think I was?
I think it will be the hard K's both accents share.
(Needless to say, I won't do the same re my dirndl from when I was about 10 years old)

But he shut up totally when I said "No, Germany" (he had asked "Are you from Scotland?"). That particular person did, but very often were there people who immediately started to tell us when their families came over and if it were their grandparents or great-grandparents that made the great journey, or who of their friends or family has only just recently been over to visit. "Ah, Germany, the River Rhine, Oktoberfest, 'wurst and beer'"...
...reason enough to invite as many Americans over to the NORTH Germany Meet-Up at the end of May as can come!!!!!!! So they see there is more to Germany than girls in dirnl, guys in lederhosen, the River Rhine and Bavaria. Ha!
(Sorry for hijacking your rant-thread, Lisa, but I must use every occasion I can get to promote that meet-up :greenpbl: )
and the different pronounciation of vowels such as a and u, which up in Northern England and some parts of Scotland are just pronounced in a very German way ...
