Language difficulties

Every nationality seems to have a little of the alphabet that the rest of the world struggles to be able to pronounce. For us English speakers, we struggle mightily to be able t0o even hear the difference between a "u", and a "u with an umlaut";let alone pronounce it.

The Germans seem to struggle with the 'v' sound which is odd because they have this sound in their alphabet. Although in German their letter "v" has an "ef" sound. So it's not unusual for us to hear, willage, instead of village etc...

Well, you can imagine Jordan's amusement when we were on board our "Sky Europe" flight, to see on the back of every seat in the plane a sticker with the words, "Life west under seat". I think that entertained her for half the flight.
