'…their pronunciation is so bad I want to shoot myself,' the German teacher, Anja Arnold, thought dramatically in her native tongue. She had emigrated four years ago to marry an American she met while he was on a business trip and she hated when students butchered her beautiful language.
At least…it was something along those lines. Reading Mrs. Arnold's thoughts could be difficult since Ivy's German skills were basic at best.
While there were some truly atrocious pronunciations going on she sincerely hoped hers weren't counted in her teacher's criticism. She fancied herself fairly decent at accents for all the languages she spoke after much practice watching foreign films with subtitles.
