pronunciation of Goethe
Back in the 50's, when I was studying German, I was watching Bishop Fulton J. Sheen's TV show, and he gave a quote and identified the author as "Gatey", which I found highly amusing, as the good bishop was an erudite man. He must have learned German from a Bavarian. I'm told they speak of a Mädl as having shaney baney (schöne Beine).
