I add the prefix fu to the next word. "That's fusgusting" for thats f-ing disgusing. F-ing words well. As well as shiznit- for the s word. I also used to use shieste (German for s***). \n\nThe best way is to use another launguages. When I get really pissed- I used "faflucten dun vetter" (f-ing bad weather). I heard that one from my dad when I was a kid and knew it was bad. When I learned the actual translation- I laughed realizing I was complaining about the weather all these years.

You first need to know how to pronounce the sounds...\na - as in Awe \ni - eel\nu - ooh\ne - as in Egg\no - as in Over\n\nThen add the consanants after them and you will have the alphabet.... k, s, t, n, h, m, r, g, z, d, b, p, l, etc.\n   For the 'y' sounds... just YA, YU, YO    And for the 'w' sounds just WA and WO - as in Over.\n   There are a few differences... 'si' is SHI (with shhh sound), 'ti' is CHI (with 'ch' sound), 'tu' is TSU (with 'ts' sound - not 't' then 's', but together like a backwards 'st'), 'hu' is FU (with just the pushing of breath, no 'ffff' sound really), all 'R' sounds are like those in spanish, blurred l'r sound.... Ringo, Rodregez, etc.  \n\n(pronunciation written)\nJapanese has an alaphabet called hiragana.  Below will have pronuncation and then hiragan written...\n\nohaio gozai-mas - good morning --- o-ha-i-o go-za-i-ma-su\n\nkan-ban-wa - good evening ------------- ko-n-ba-n-wa\n\nnani - what --------------- na-ni\n\nari-ga-to(w) - thank you  -------------  a-ri-ga-to-u\n\ndo-i-tashi-mashi-te - your welcom. --------------- do-i-ta-shi-ma-shi-te\n\njya-ne - bye (between friends)\n\nHope that helps.

of course you can use that words, but it is not often used by germans. you can say "mir geht's schlecht" (i don't feel very well) but that's kinda the only way i use that word. \nif you wanna improve your german you can send me a mail\n(yourtine92@yahoo.de)

I'm English learning Dutch and I'm finding it bloody hard. Pronunciation is a nightmare and the grammar is similar enough to English for you to think that it's the same, before you realise you've been evilly tricked and it's utterly different. You'll also not be helped by the fact that almost everyone in the Netherlands speaks English and loves to show off about it. So you go in to a shop or something and try out your new found skills and the person just grins and replies to you in English. They don't seem to realise how annoying this can be, many Dutch people seem to think I'm trying to learn Dutch so that I feel less rude when they talk to me in English. Or something.\n\nApart from that, it is a pretty fun Language to try and learn (assuming yuo can convince Dutch people to actually speak it to you), but you'll need alot of patience and dedication to get anywhere. Here's some stuff to get you started:\n\nHallo - Hello\nSorry - Sorry or Excuse me\nAlstublieft - Please / Here you are / You're welcome\nAlstjeblieft - As above, only less formal\nDank u wel - Thank you\nDank je wel - As above, only less formal\nBedankt - Thanks\nTot ziens - Good bye \nTot later - See you later\nHoe gaat het? - How's it going?\nHet gaat goed. - It's going well\nIk kom uit Australië - I come from Australia\nWaar kom je vandaan? - Where do you come from?\nHoe heet je? - What's your name?\nIk heet *** - My name's ***\n\nThe pronunciation is odd, in the above the word "heet" is pronounced like "hate". G is a sort of weird rasping noise (try and say a g while sort of rasping at the back of your mouth with your tongue). And W is sometimes pronounced like a V, sometimes like a W and sometimes half way in between. oe is pronounced like oo in broom. ie is pronounces like ee in tree. UI is pronounced like no English word, it sounds sort of similar to ow in now, but different in a way I can't describe.

heck, encarta encylopedia has this feature. it goes with sounds so u can practice pronunciation.

yes, that's what diacritics are.  as to how one pronounces a letter so marked, there are no hard and fast rules, e.g. a dot over a u always changes it into an m and it never appears over any other letter, no matter what word or language it's in.  The change in pronounciation varies with the language, the letter and the diacritic.

Your best bet is actually "Frohe Weihnachten", that's approximately /'froh-he 'vy-nagh-ten/ where the "oh" sound is very close, long, and rounded, and the "gh" is the sound of the "ch" in scottisch "loch". \n"Fröhliche Weihnachten" sounds like "/'frer-lih-shay 'vy-nagh-ten/" with the first "er"is like the "er" in "her", but closer and longer, with the "r" not pronounced, the British way.\nBy the way, my spelling of it is the way the Germans expect it to be done.

Only the pronunciation 'cause the others already gave you the spelling:\n/oo/ = u like in you\n/ee/ = i like in speak\n/a/ = a like in bug\n1. ya nye moovyeu po polskoo, ale znam keelka zwrotoof (po polskoo)\n2. yak syeu mash\n3. podoba tzee syeu v amerytze (here y in "amerytze" is like in bill, only lower in the throat)\n4. (same as in 2.)\n5. oo mnye f pojondkoo (here j like in je t'aime in French)\n6. polskee yest pravye yak ookraeenskee\n\nUff, God this is hard speaking like that - and looks very funny!

Jewelry - not Joolery\nAsterisk - not a$$-trick (and oddly enough, I had to use dollar signs to avoid asterisks!)\nCavalry - not Calvery (unless you're talking about the mountain) \n\nI have an aunt who cannot say "breakfast" - she says "breftuss". It drives me absolutely bonkers.\n\nJust a note regarding the pronunciation of the word "the" - both pronunciations are correct. Generally, the schwa sound  "thuh" is used before words beginning with consonants (the building), and the long E "thee" is used before words beginning with vowels (the outdoors). "Thee" is also used to emphasize the importance of the following word. See the Wikipedia article below.\n\nI'll also add one more word - Been. I admit, I have a tendency to get sloppy and say "bin" or "ben" although the correct pronunciation is "bee-n". (long E like seen).\n(Update - my "bin" pronunciation is acceptable! Check out the Merriam-Webster Online dictionary with the audio pronunciation. Whew - I'm not an illiterate idiot after all.)\n\nOkay, back with a couple more.\n\nMoot (moo like a cow, not mew like a kitten)\nSpecific (not pacific)\nProbably (this has 3 syllables, not 2 - it is pro bab ly not prob ly)

It depends on the language I guess.  In French I probably wouldn't pronounce it the same way as you would in English.  And what do thoses word mean anyway?  Sometimes with the ethymology yuo can figure out the pronounciation.
