  • I’m from the USA, and when I first heard “digga,” I was certainly confused! It seems the youth say it even more than the generation that invented the phrase now.

    Anyway, English speakers have an old phrase that is similar and might help some understand the usage of the word “thick” here. The phrase is “thick as thieves” - meaning thieves stick together.









  • You should try learning German songs and singing them to help with pronunciation! “Madsen” is my favorite German band for this purpose. The lead singer is (usually) easy to understand. But, nearly any singer will do. I’d avoid native English speakers singing in German, though. For instance, I love Connie Francis’s German stuff (and so did many Germans, it seems), but her pronunciation is nothing to emulate, sadly.
