Test your English skills

I found this in the "Leo" language forum. Thought it might interest some of us here, especially as we normally have the feeling that Swiss German is difficult!

You can pat yourself on the back if you get through that without any errors. Have fun!

Re: Test your English skills

Ouch indeed! Just goes to show how brutal English is to learn as a foreigner, or indeed a mother tongue!

Re: Test your English skills

Real fun poem.
I knew learning Deutsch had messed with my mind when I did a double-take on 'lichen' -- I was ready to pronounce it 'lee-hien' and then my tongue had a punch-up with my brain.
