Hahaha, I never overstep. I usually stop very very far away from the line – because I am scared of rolling down the alley myself.
No, not that ~exactly how. I mean things like ~voiceless labial plosive. That's what we have to know. And how phonation works and a little bit of physics with that. Auslautverhaertung doesn't even have Auslautverhaertung itself :( Re: accent. There's a dialect in Hesse that says the r like in English. It sounds like a bunch of English speaking people got lost in the countryside. And then started to speak some weird kind of German. But no, it's just a dialect. I guess that the r would be the most problematic sound – it is for me (in English! and Spanish! and German! (my dialect does uvular trill r. ~High German r it's the fricative. my phonetics teacher is fascinated because he can't do that sound. so I get to read out loud all the words that start with r. rrrrrrot. Rrrrrauch.))
strange foreign language music go! Catalan Basque German (and there's always Kraftwerk and random 80s music!)
