7 days agoThe German word for squirrel (Eichhörnchen) is hard to pronounce for French and English speakers in different ways.
Though I have to admit squirrel/écureuil is the cooler pair because it seems to me they both derive from the same root but divererged in a way to make them difficult to pronounce for the other one.
Also, they aren’t fans.
