That reminds me of practicing 'squirrel' and 'Eichhörnchen' with the Aunties.

Just send the link to my 2 friends in Germany.

Sure, and then they can send me a German word to pronounce which will provide hours of hilarity.

Pffffff ....that's not hard to say...

What about "Eichhörnchen"?

I found this site to learn the pronunciation Cheery_j, http://www.forvo.com/word/eichh%C3%B6rnchen/. You're right, it's tricky.

What is it about squirrels that makes people decide to call them names that are unpronouncable by foreigners?
