I can't look at your avatar without laughing my ass off.
Well people who are used to the english tongue can't really pronounce our ch,
like in the word "lachen" or when you say "gute nacht", which is kind of an indicator for the german language to be more guttural.. they always pronounce it like "gute nackt", which means "good naked" ...
