Actually, because of the history of the English language, German should
be the easiest second language to learn. I've been told tho that with German:
if you think that you're being too guttural while speaking it, you're probably doing it right!
(take me to your Lieder...)
tschüß!

lol, I'm not absolutely sure, if you have to be
too guttural, but it must feel like it. almost every word contains a ch, ck, k or g and our r is spoken much more in the back of our mouth than in any other language, i guess..
still, when you're talkin bavarian, as it's a completely different language, it gets kinda easier to talk. it's not that guttural, but you will never be able to remember the words if you werent born here
...for example: when I want to say squirrel, and i talk german, then i say "eichhörnchen", which kinda means "oakcroissant", but when I say it in bavarian, i say "oachkatzal", which means "oakcat". And there are so many words, that nobody can really..memorize. You're born with it, or you forget it. When i find somebody ugly, then i can say in bavarian "du gsichtskrapfen!", which kinda means "you facebismarck!"..
There is also this sentence, which shows the might and beauty of the bavarian language, lol
"Sie schaugt aba oba oba a obat"
"But she looks down, to see if he's working"
