German Student Dachshund

Anonymous asked: Dachshund doesn't sound like Deutschhund at all. It's just that Dachshund is "Dachs" in German (pronounced just like 'ducks') and it's...I guess a dog that everyone associates with Germany? (Not saying that this is the reason this blog uses the dog but don't say they sound alike when they clearly don't. at all)

I’m sorry I wasn’t aware we were going to be audited by the pronunciation police. Won’t happen again, officer!

Anonymous asked: I have a question about the meme: Why a dog?

Dachshund sounds like Deutschhund, and I think the words may be related somehow. I don’t have a source in front of me, though.

Anonymous asked: This isn't a question, but I can't find the "send message" thingy ... I AM German and I love this. XD Because I'm also a U.S. American speaker and ... I understand. :D So, this is awesome. I also tried to get into a German program but by Uni doesn't offer it.

Send a message and Ask on tumblr are like the same thing unless you wanted fainmail in which case that should be a little envelope in the corner on our page. Anyway it’s sad your uni doesn’t offer it! I can’t think of much you can do, aside from practice on the internet, though. Actually… et’s start a help this anon drive and send us all your ways you study at home!

findingpapertowns asked: Thank you for making this meme. I am not a major, but I have studied German and I can say without a doubt that I understand how you feel. Schuss! Gute Tag!

You’re welcome. :) Anyone who’s studied or is studying German is welcome to submit. Also I have no way to even check that but back on topic I appreciate your thanks and… stuff.

Regarding fanmail

I will totally read all of it and try to respond. Possibly in German. Also, I’ll still do asks, but I won’t go through the trouble to screencap fanmail unless it is amazing.
