  • Yes, we often call them “long” and “short” E but the short E is actually halfway to A. It’s a different vowel even though it’s written the same. The last E is the vowel we often have in unstressed syllables like gekommen, same in English upon, about. We write it as E but it’s basically the most relaxed vowel possible.

    Look at this vowel chart to see and hear the differences.

    If this is serious, it doesn’t work and there are other businesses claiming to be like L1 acquisition.

    But the age window is real. Kids who for some reason didn’t learn any language have a hard time learning it later and when you move to other language area, there is an age after which you can’t learn the new language accent free (about 12 I think)






  • You are yet to show me any anti migrant meme or dogwhistle or anything. Also: How were the anti AfD protests not welcoming migrants? Even if there weren’t many doesn’t mean they were not welcome. Was any non-white person harassed or something? What makes you say they were not welcome?

    If you aren’t able to back up your argument, I assume you are a troll. You can’t just say there are dogwhistles without pointing them out. You can’t just say “racism is hidden in modern Germany” and leave it there. Well, you claim to have found the hidden racism, prove it. Otherwise everything is racist according to the logic.
