Re: "Ick bin I'n Bear-Leaner"
love it.
When I was in school and studying spoken German, one of the hardest things should have been easy: wrapping my mouth around the difference between "Berg" and "Burg." Both of them sound like "Brrrgh" where I grew up, and not "Peark" and "Pourque" as Frau Schneider insisted. I remember saying the word "Wörterbücher" again and again to strengthen the muscles in my lips*
The distribution of vowels in European languages seems unfair. How did the French, Italians, and Germans get so many, but the Serbs, Croats, and Poles get so few?
*Yes, I am aware that American English is a mushmouthed disaster

Another example for the validity of memory.

Cool! Not on the map, but I guess I guess I live in the nearby Sweet Zen Land!
Re: "Ick bin I'n Bear-Leaner"
I think, the native word is "Sweets". No Zen at all, I'm sorry.
