- tetha 2y ago95% german, 5% dutch. Guess I can't stop schnacking on platt to some degree. Though this is raising the fun question: What makes a german accent in english? Harsh consonants? Is there some wiki or some articles to read up on that?
- Sohcahtoa82 2y agoI don't know any articles about it, but as a native English speaker that learned German and participated in a German exchange student program... The ones that first come to mind for me are: - The "th" sound. It's often pronounced like "z" (like the s in German's "sein"). So "that" becomes "zat". - W becomes V, ie, "When" becomes "ven". - The short "a" as in "cat" turns into "eh". "Laptop" becomes "Leptop".
