Nope.

Can’t do it.

Honestly, English Rs and Spanish Rs are annoying. Can't all Rs be German Rs? :p

Exactly. The important stuff. :lol2:

I had a hard time pronouncing R’s when I was younger. And just pronouncing things. Especially sm sounds, like smother. It would come out as ‘pother,’ but with a really weird ‘p’ noise. It’s difficult to describe.

It can't be weirder than my (much worse than now) German accent. Little kids just can't talk.

Snake Liches would be pretty bad. I know dragons can become liches but I've never seen a snake lich in a game. Be cool, though.

Snake Eater is heavy metal music?

Wait, no, snake liches would be sick. Absolutely rad.

No, it’s James Bond music but about a man who eats snakes for a living.

I remember playing Metal Gear on my old 8 bit Nintendo. The radio was cool. The sub-gun would only fire in back-forth sweeps like a garden hose.

Metal Gear is cool. All of it. Even the stupid parts, like how Quiet is a plant who needs to wear a bikini.

I've lived in an English speaking environment for several years now, and I still can't say 'squirrel' properly.

So I pronounce it 'tree rat' instead. :P

I have been told that they sound either like choking or just very aggressive. Really cool is the best description so far.

Austria-Hungary requested a truce and the German Empire was disbanded as a condition of the Armistice. That's not a loss.
