My name is Franz Lang, a German-Hongkongese independent linguist, language enthusiast, serial traveller and movie buff. I am now fully quadrilingual, speaking French, German, Cantonese and English fluently. Over the years, I've also developed a convincing understanding of Portuguese, Arabic, Yiddish, Russian, and many other languages. The goal of my channel is simple: to help you say any word with absolute confidence.
So what about Gouda cheese? I'll never forget the polite but pained smile from a cheesemonger in Amsterdam when I asked for "Goo-dah." He kindly offered me a taste of the real "How-dah," with that guttural 'G' that feels like it originates deep in the chest. It was a delicious lesson in how the authentic pronunciation of a place name can change, and even enhance, the sensory experience of the thing itself.
