There are many places where you can "learn" Deutsch aka German. This country (like Amerika) is full of Germans (even in here there are some I'm sure) and German companies, but the sad truth is most Asians just cannot get things right. Remember to correct the teacher (native or not, they lie a lot) if you ever attend classes:
1) Tag = Never pronounced Amerikan style. Strong "tahk". Not tac as in tic-tac-toe. Get the T right, it's hard T a la Indian T, without breath (h) a la Amerikan, without Singlish/Chinese/Italian style tip-of-tongue. Some German teenagers disagree, but they're nothing but scheisse.
2) Ich, nicht, nacht, basically ch = _not_ sh, which is "sch". Varies between regions, Bayern and some pronounce Ich with hard g or even I (eee). Standard is of course, ch as in Loch of Loch Ness, a la kh a la Arabian a la Akhmed. Mostly though, it's not that strong, more like wind wooshing through the teeth. But that's for Germans who can't get it right or are against the Scottish monster.
3) J = Y; Ja = ya
4) W = VV a la Indian W; Volkswagen = Folks-vah-gehn
5) tsch = close to how Japanese pronounce their ts in tsuki, if you don't know then sorry no way to explain.
6) R = no big deal, can be hard and can be soft a la French-sexy-chic-with-short-tongue; "agr".
There. Deutsch in 60 seconds. Rest of the laws can easily adapt (good luck on the umlauts though). Now for your first sentence: Ich mag grosse Arschbacken.
Repeat as many times as you can. If you're Indian (North), should be easy. You'd basically be speaking Hindi - Celtic style.
marcdadrummer: I can teach you, but if you're inherently = fail, sorry no hope liao mah.
That's right, cheers is open 24/7. 7/11s though, some of them close by 10pm, what jerks. Having trouble remembering the name of this good drink i had last night ...
