was sure u will turn up to correct me...

aku cukup suka dengan joke ni:

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the EU rather than German which was the other possibility.

As part of the negotiations, Her Majesty's Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a five year phase-in plan that would be known as "Euro-English".

In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of the "k". This should klear up konfusion and keyboards kan have 1 less letter.

There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year, when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like "fotograf" 20% shorter.

In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be ekspekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible. Governments will enkorage the removal of double letters, which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of the silent "e"s in the language is disgraseful, and they should go away.

By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz year, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and similar changes vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.

After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi to understand ech ozer. Ze drem vil finali kum tru! And zen world!

actually bahasa Deutsche ni ada female and male side of it... it somehow affects the structure of a sentence and pronunciation....

Not quite...unlike in French or spanish, u will find nouns with 2 genders, i.e. male or female. However, in german, it's more complex than that. German nouns have THREE distinct genders, namely masculine, feminine AND neuter..

Before we get into that, let's get our PRONUNCIATION right first.

I'll explain shortly.

Before we start, let's learn a little german history...very little only..hahaha...

Do u know that germans arent the only one who speaks this language? It is also a native language in Austria, Liechtenstein, some part of switzerland, northern italy, Belgium, France (Alsace) and luxembourg.

Letter           Pronunciation

A a                        ah

Ä ä                        ay

B b                         bay

C c                         say

D d                        day

E e                         ay

F f                          eff

G g                         gay (yes, just like it is spelt )

H h                          haa

I i                             eeh

J j                            yot (jgn gelak haaaa!!!)

K k                           kah

L l                            ell

M m                         emm

N n                          enn

O o                          oh

Ö ö                          ooh (try to round your lips and say ew sound while tightening the muscle at the back of ur throat)

P p                           pay

Q q                          koo

R r                           err (tebalkan bunyi err tu, just like when u r saying "air")

S s                           ess

ß                              ess-zett (this is a little bit tricky...bunyi campur s and z...macam mana nak ckp ya?)

T t                            tay

U u                          ooh

Ü

Btw, the two little dots on the vowels a, o and u are called "umlaut" (oomlaut) and these vowels are called "modified vowels" thus the sound is a bit of a hybrid/mutation of sounds. If u missed them in ur spelling, the words would have totally different sounds and meaning.

Rest lah dulu..lain kali sambung ok?

I cannot resist a little test though...

So please tell me how would u spell these words in German?

a) BMW

b) VW

c) ICE (high speed train like TGV in france).

Viel Gl點k! (Good luck!)
