German sounds like all the guttural sounds you aren't supposed to make in English.

German is such a lovely language.

My gf speaks it fluently and it's hot af

Would it be as hot if she wasn't wearing jackboots and wielding a whip when she spoke it?

No shit.  My grandfather's German was all grunts and spittle.

I thought that "zug" was the German word for "platoon".

I have ancestors named Zug.

In Pennsylvania Dutch it's been corrupted to 'Zook' and there are a lot of Amish surnamed Zook today.

There's an island named Zug Island in Detroit that was owned by one of my great-great-whatever uncles.  Apparently it's a toxic waste dump now.

Well, so's the whole city, basically.

I think that depends on the region.

FunkMunk, is your gf by any chance from the south?

Okay so nothing about the language, you are just infatuated with this girl.

She lived and worked in Germany for quite a few years.

I meant a South German accent.  To my ear it is a lot less guttural.

Yeah, I think the thing is that she doesn't actually have a coherent German accent though unless she learned perfectly under the direction of just one instructor.

Wouldn't she speak with the accent where she she lived in Germany for those years?

I supposed if all of her learning of German was done there (which seems unlikely). After all, I don't speak with any sort of English accent.

You knew that answer was coming.

And my grandfather was from Baden-Württemberg.  So guttural, he needed a bib.
