    Why are Americans literally seemingly physically incapable of pronouncing words like “suchen” and “dich” in the proper way? Of course I am biased as a native german speaker, but I swear, those sounds aren’t that complicated to make?

      The problem isnt that they are complicated to say but that german and english use different letter and phonic pronounciation. So without any german lessons an english speaker wouldnt be aware of that.
