Alain--

My best friend & I both studied German in college (I wound up with it as one of my Minors). Our conversational practice was with a Teaching Assistant (TA) student who'd grown up in Germany, the child of American missionaries, & who spoke fluent Deutsch.

When asked to translate these common phrases (with apologies for no umlauts!):
I am very tired = Ich bin sehr muede
I am very angry! = Ich bin sehr boese!
my friend replied in his best attempt at proper German, but heavily laced with a strong Southern accent:
Ick bin sair moody, and Ick bin sair bosey!

Our TA decided that conversational German was not his best subject. While it's not as funny in print, at the time, I was ROFLMAO, and still go into giggle fits 20-odd years later at the recollection.
