[Ger-Poland-Volhynia] GERMANS FROM RUSSIAN POLAND ACCENTS

[Gerald Klatt]

Yes.

I learned German at home, from my Volynian German parents. My relatives that 
live in Germany can tell when I speak it. Certain words give it away too. I 
used  'schläfrig' instead of müde once and they all started to laugh and 
said that was definitely more of a Volhynian expression.
