It sounds like you have something lodged in your throat!” He looks at you oddly, and replies in German, “That is how you are supposed to pronounce “eight” in German. You try.” You repeat in German, “Eight,” and find it to be quite fun. As you walk into the street, your friend calls for a cab in German.
