WHATEVER, point is it's not the proper way one should speak it. Makes one sound uneducated.

You know the 'h' sound in humongous? Use that hard 'h' sound... So it's like... Ihhh, almost.

That was all that I learned so far.
Wrongness. Ich is pronounced "ish" in northern germany, and the "ch" gets harder the farther south you go. In Bavaria, it is pronounced "ick"

Actually German is the third most taught foreign language worldwide oOo:

It is spoken primarily in:
Germany,
Austria,
Liechtenstein,
Luxembourg,

Parts of:
two-thirds of Switzerland,
two-thirds of South Tyrol province of Italy
in the small East Cantons of Belgium,
Denmark.
Romania,
the Czech Republic,
Hungary, and above all Russia, Kazakhstan and Poland,

German is the main language of about 100 million people in Europe (as of 2004), or 13.3% of all Europeans.
