Re: OT: German reputation

What do you mean? It is a bad reputation if a kid make german-like sounds?
I remember when my sister began to learn english, when there was english 
music playing she was making aproximative diphtongs and english like "r's"
but it was anything but english...
I don't understand what you mean by frensh or english sounding german.
"h" is the simplest consounant, and even if it is absent in frensh it is easy t
o
pronounce.
(do all latin languages don't have "h" sound? I know spanish and frensh don't)

the
frensh are funny because they leave out h's everywhere. That's how we
produce a frensh sounding german: leave out the h's. This looks like
this:
Ich* ge'e in das aus, wo es frischen Ammelbraten und Interschinken gibt.
A nother example would be that the english speakers of the world turn
all
the th's into s's when imitating germans. Get the picture?
