This. And "ch" is not pronounced as "k", like it's always done in English but like the evil Russians in movies pronounce "h". ;)

Somewhat like the kh in kolkhoz if you know how to pronounce that.

Engels is making his weekly visit to Marx. For some time, Engels discovered the week prior, Marx was suffering from back cramps. Being the top bloke he is, Engels goes to Boots and buys him some deep heat. He says 'Alright Karl. Got your something for yer back,' and Marx replies 'I'm not Feuerbach: I'm Marx!'

I've always thought it was pronounced like you would pronounce Fuhrer like what Hitler was and Bach like Michelle Bachmann.

This is why Americans should never try to pronounce European names. Literally no European I've ever met (and I've met quite a few Europeans) would read that name and struggle to pronounce it.

Top bloke = generous man.
Boots = chain of pharmacists
Deep Heat = an ibuprofen gel.

I don't think I've ever seen somebody British overload that quickly. Most foreigners I've met have delighted in learning slang

If not, it is essentially the same sound as hocking a loogie.

Foyer-Bach. The 'ch' is like saying 'h' with heavy breath.

You have the weirdest ways of pronouncing things, Broletariat. Including "Shay Gway-vara"

This. The way the Broletariat pronounces Feuerbach, you'd think you were about to get kicked in the throat by Bruce Lee.

Nah, it's because all y'all anglophones can't make the Ö-sound (aka Ø, oe, or in French, eu) because your language is the worst ever.
