Though this is raising the fun question: What makes a german accent in english? Harsh consonants? Is there some wiki or some articles to read up on that?
The ones that first come to mind for me are:
- The "th" sound. It's often pronounced like "z" (like the s in German's "sein"). So "that" becomes "zat".
- W becomes V, ie, "When" becomes "ven".
- The short "a" as in "cat" turns into "eh". "Laptop" becomes "Leptop".
