Skiara posted:In German I would never think of 'Schwein' when I say or read 'Sven'. They are pronounced too different. I would guess that you think of 'Schwein' because of the 'sch' and the 'ei', right? Then I can calm you a bit. 'sch' is prounounced like 'ch' in 'chica' and 'ei' is more one letter like the English 'I' (Yo). I hope this helps.
