I think it would be kind of like shown but more drawn out with an e's sound i think.

I'm going off what i remember from high school german and from an actual german i know (who happens to also be a german teacher) who's surname is sch

Thanks guys but I am not more confused.

So now people say it 4 different ways.

"shoon" is the correct way then.

Your boy alenleomessi called Bulgaria scum though.

The funny thing is that they speak Bulgarian dialect and they call it Macedonian language, they stole our history. Its kind of sad, and still they hate us for some reason.

It's a tough sound to make. It's close to shern, but with a much softer r sound. The o umlaut took me a lot of practice to get right.

Yeah I remember hearing a lot of iieee's in Dresden. A very sexy dialect btw (I lived in Mannheim/Heidelberg then, so I think any other German dialect than kurpfaeltzisch would have been sexy to me)

Is as close as I could estimate it with letters. The reason theres an umlaut is because the sound isnt phoenetic in the first place. Thats why its a tough question to ask on a message board.

I learned "Hochdeutsch" in school and then went to live in Munich for awhile. I love the Bavarian accent but it took me some time to understand it.

The kind of old school Bavarian accent that is spoken in villages is hard to understand even for native German speakers. Sometimes you have no f*cking idea what they are talking about.

Hmm not sure I can explain this accurately on here... but I'd imagine it to be something like "schoeyn" in english... but like dr.hee said, when its fitting in a sentence, they can also understand it if you say "shoon" ... the way "shoon" is said, its like a "u" in german though, so say it a bit more like a "o"...

maybe this helps :lol oh and while your at it practising that, hop off kobe's dick too :cheers:
