Or like bauhaus All of the things you mention are basically an "ow" sound, in "standard" high German. Audi is ow-dee, not aah-dee. Bauhaus is bow-hows, not baa-haas.

May 7, 20179 yr A few hours after I typed that post I wandered around the edge of the East River, sat down on a bench and it happened to be next to a really nice Korean girl who smiled at me a couple times. We got to talking and she said she moved to Dortmund, Germany 6 years ago which was a bit of a freaky coincidence. Her English was actually really good, considering the last time she was in the US was 8 years ago. We added each other on IG and said let's keep in touch but I don't want to interrupt her vacation. Now I'm thinking I should hit her up anyway and ask her to record herself so I can win a stupid internet argument.

Now I'm thinking I should hit her up anyway and ask her to record herself so I can win a stupid internet argument. I minored in German at University, and took 7 years of German language instruction, before that. If there is one thing I know how to pronounce, it's "auf." Or you can just look it up on the internet: You should definitely talk to the girl, though.
May 7, 20179 yr Uhh I don't think they're pronouncing an 'ow' sound at all in those vids it's not quite the same as an ㄠsound anyway but more similar than ow. I spent most of the day soldering instead of talking to people
May 7, 20179 yr You need to get your hearing checked, then. It's basically "ow." It's not quite the same thing, but that's why I said "basically." Go talk to people.

May 7, 20179 yr The only reason I didn't make it to BBQ with Nate. Pre-birthday celebration at The Pass. Fantastic!
