Stupid question is that how they would spell America in Germany "Amerika"?
-
Yep, that's how we spell it.
-
Ja
-
Just wait until you see how Americans spell Deutschland...
-
Just wait till you hear how we pronounce "Chicago".
-
Eh, as a Bostonian I'm always much more impressed by how people's tongues try to leave orbit when they first encounter Worcester.
-
It's obviously pronounced Kicago, just like Chamäleon, Chemie and China :)
-
Kemie and Kina
I threw up a little...
-
But Chemie comes from Chemnitz (obviously) so it must be pronounced with K
Don't know where China comes from, maybe from Chinese which is obviously pronounced with K.

The hard "c" sound as you see in America is always a 'k' auf deutsch.
-
That makes sense

-
Something a person that definitely doesn't speak german would say. We spell it exactly like this.
-
...Yes, that’s why they’re asking.
