| Nov 3, 2017 at 1:04 | comment | added | RyanfaeScotland | May I add, when you are checking you've pronounced it correctly you could even embellish your pronunciation a bit and do it several times, '"Heinrich" - is it? HEINrich, HeinRICH, HEeeeeeinrich' this invites the person to repeat it and correct you (if needed) in a welcoming way. (I'm sure this is a trope somewhere, Finding Dory has it for sure, I just can't find a good example.) | |
