I came across a review of the band "Rammstein" where the author noted the lead singer's rolled R's. She made the point that the teutonic accent has rolled R's, and made connection about Hitler's affection for "old school" teutonic society. From her tone, I suspect it's a simple leap made by a dis-liker of the band. I speak German with rolled r's. Mostly due to my Bavarian grandparents, and polish/austrian teacher My question is this: How is this inflection looked at by other germans? As old school,? high/low class?

Nein...die Deutschen selbst denken doch gar nicht darueber nach...ist dene ganz wurscht! And whoever looks at it negatively is in reality a bit envious, because most English speaking people don't know how to pronounce the r that way. My sis married someone from Bavaria and she speaks their accent and all.... I think it's wonderful and it sounds interesting...gell?

each and each and every of the concepts given are acceptable. regrettably, neither "klein" nor "kurz" in useful situation this context. klein (=small, e.g. kleiner Junge = small boy; Kleingeld = small replace) kurz (=short or short, e.g. kurze Hosen = short pants). There are 2 extra option sentences to get your element by skill of the time of: a million. Ich speche nur ganz wenig deutsch (I in basic terms communicate extremely of German) 2. Ich speche nicht viel deutsch (i do not communicate lots German/i do not comprehend lots German) in many situations, even as requested in German how lots German one speaks, the answer will be, "ein bisschen". the actuality that the answer in itself is short shows to the asker that one does not comprehend many German words. Viel Glueck! good fulfillment! Bonne hazard!

wow. that was really off base of her to make that connection. i've grown up speaking alamanisch-only the most messed up german i think i've ever heard, and rolled 'r's are a necessity, not something vile at all.
