Being forgotten is MUCH better than being shunned, which is what I was worried about! :D<br /><br />I have found that I have more problems understanding Germans (or Austrians, or Swiss) who speak with strong regional dialects. I know that other Germans have that problem, too, but I used to be very good at understanding/translating them. (I'm from Berlin, we don't have a dialect, we just speak bad German!)Christina RN LMThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260505524676910667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36613281.post-17977272877767466872009-07-08T22:33:28.303-04:002009-07-08T22:33:28.303-04:00I know these days my German sounds more American, ...I know these days my German sounds more American, not because of pronunciation, but because of inflection. To me, Americans speak with more animation, while as Germans do tend to do the "monotone drone" quite often... <br /><br />No pitch differences here though. <br /><br />BTW, I just visited my long neglected German blog and found two of your comments from the beginning of June...

I just think it's totally weird. As far as the singing goes, I've never noticed either way. Some sounds are easier to sing when singing high notes, that's for sure!<br /><br />Buck, I don't know, it's just very strange.<br /><br />Sonja, really?! I'm not the only one?

When air moves faster through your vocal cords, the pitch will naturally go up. It's a thought, anyway. :-)<br /><br />It's easier for me to sing higher pitches when I'm singing in a foreign language than when I'm singing in English. That's always weirded me out.Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01119645829480810524noreply@blogger.com
