Re: Gretchen
in reply to a message by Perrine
I just looked up "Gretchenfrage" and it just reinforced my fascination with descriptive compound German words! I sometimes wonder if I should take steps to learn German, but I struggle with some of the pronunciation. (I'm better at French, but my French is getting rusty.)

Sure, why not? It doesn't matter that you struggle with the pronunciation, your teacher will help you :) And I think everyone who learns a foreign language isn't able to imitate all of the sounds perfectly but can still be easily understood. It is not so important, an accent can be really charming and everyone has an accent :)
Thank you, this is encouraging. Sometimes when I read or hear German, I recognize English's Germanic roots and the similarities between the two languages.
