Amy's speech: better, yet worse

Amy's speech is quite a bit more intelligible now (even to untrained outsiders); at the same time, she seems to be more self-conscious about her speech and will occasionally refuse to say something she can't say "properly", rather than simply giving it her best attempt.

It's occasionally possible to trick her, though :)

Sample exchange from today:

Stella: Sag mal „Benjamin“.
Amy (who finds this name difficult to pronounce, tries to avoid saying it): Das darf ich nicht sagen!
Stella: Was darfst du nicht sagen?
Amy: „Nemmin“ darf ich nicht sagen!

Amy and the irregular verbs

Amy is starting to pick up German irregular past tenses.

She'll still omit the "ge-" morpheme, but she'll use the appropriate stem, at least for some verbs, e.g. "(ge)zogen, (ge)bracht" rather than "zieht, bringt".
