Hello everyone,
and welcome to our German Word of The Day, this time, with a look at a word that can even give fluent learners a sobering reality check about pronunciation.
schüchtern
I mean, come on… it might not be as bad as Eichhörnchen or that one infamous metro station in Berlin that contains these consonants:
Schlsschs Tr
(Leave a comment, if you know what I mean ;).
But schüchtern is definitely a one of those words that can make you feel shy about your pronunciation.
Which is a perfect match because schüchtern actually means shy.
