Finding Good Things in German
As you may know, I’m often not so happy with my native tongue and like English a lot more.
But there’s at least one good thing with German – or, to be more precise – one flaw in the English language. It’s the fact that the letter „w“ takes three syllables to pronounce in English.
Okay, so we have a three syllable letter, too. In our case it’s the y, which is pronounced „ypsilon“. But then again, we don’t use that letter a lot, whereas the letter „w“ is regularly used in both English and German.
But even that wouldn’t be so bad if it wasn’t for the internet, because „www“? Takes a lot more time to say in English than it does in German. Plus, it sounds better in German. It’s a minor flaw, but at least I found something good in German here.
