[08:54:36] <gort> vowels
[08:54:38] <gort> i cannot fucking
[08:54:43] <gort> distinguish e: i:
[08:54:45] <gort> in german
[08:54:47] <Seraphinus> gort: neither can I
[08:54:52] <pthagnar_> nor can i
[08:54:55] <Seraphinus> the [e:] is incredibly high
[08:54:56] <pthagnar_> german e: is fuqd up
[08:54:57] <guitarplayer> vowels are notoriously difficult in language learning i guess
[08:55:00] <gort> like """""e:""""" is just i: but vaguely sort of pharyngealized or something
[08:55:08] <gort> i can kind of tell
[08:55:19] <gort> if i listen for the +AAARRRGGGHHH
[08:55:22] <gort> but it is p subtle
[08:55:26] <gort> more like +aaarrrggghhh
