Food cannot be compared! You should pronounce it Krukow with 'u' as in 'crunch'. (Not exactly but far better than yours.)
But I am hearing the pronunciation from Poles.

Heinz Beanz #57 are now confirmed "eatable" (with rice and sausages).
Maybe next time I'll add some bacon to it to get closer to a revelation.
Isn't that Heinz you talk about the one from the Ketchup?

Is that Heinz from the crack house, or Heinz drinking a mini soda and getting at least 7 hours of sleep?

Yep.

I don't get it, I need a map.
fresh_42 said:
Yep.
Oh.

Who would have thought they had ketchup at the crack house? I guess if you get enough sleep...

Oh.
Read the three posts before the post I am quoting.

The polish site hasn't got a pronunciation but the German: Krakau (polnischKraków

o_O I still don't get it.

Don't worry, you're not missing much :). Krakow == crack house, Minnesota == mini soda, heinz,
heinz catchup, etc. -- and I am not on crack, nor in Krakow. But I did not know that people named Heinz were assigned numbers . And there are at least 57 of them.

It's Heinz Mish again being at his neighbours for a mini soda to get an hour more sleep.

Indeed, you will be put to sleep after the effect of crack runs out.

Do you recommend I should smoke that red stuff in the fridge? Oh no: you meant IV?!

Ask Heinz 58, he can tell you better than I can (and better than Heinz 57-- that is how he was given the number).

aka, smoke a sausage and then put Heinz x ; ## x \geq 57## on it.

As you've mentioned Poland. Do you know Lem's Star Diaries? Probably not because then you knew it wasn't Heinz, it has been Ijon Tichy:
"The Star Diaries where the unfortunate Tichy, caught in a time loop, is repeatedly banged on the head with a saucepan wielded by future versions of himself. "

EDIT: Lem died in Krakow :wink:

No, never heard of it. Nasty loop, btw.

I want to learn Russian really learned. But the way I'm trained to learn languages is by having a list of characters of the language that someone pronounces and then I keep repeating how each character sounds over and over. Then I start reading and associating words that I've read with pictures of what they are. And so I learn and keep leveling up. But I cannot find a place where someone is pronouncing each character separately. The way I learn a language is like this little girl in the video at time 4:53:

Ouch, learning a whole new alphabet. Good luck. Maybe you can try those new videos out, let me see if I can remember their name.

You found videos like that? :bugeye:
 
Subway passengers are now called "customers": You hear the announcements: " Please let the customers off the train before boarding...".

I just remembered, the name was Rosetta Stone videos:
http://www.rosettastone.com/lp/ppc/sale/?cid=se-br-gg-bistro&cvosrc=ppc.google.+rosetta +stone +languages&matchtype=b&cvo_campaign=Branded&gclid=CjwKEAiA3aW2BRCD_cOo5oCFuUMSJADiIMIL_Tsqwfl9sCdV2SNYY6n6Rsk6tblZYi4F4jLBfD2wXhoCfrbw_wcB
I'll check which one has someone pronouncing each character at a time. For once I know that the Rosetta Stone version I had many years ago wasn't like that (I don't know now). They start out of the blue with full words and that's not how I learn. I learn first each character pronunciation and then go with words.

Uhm :DD I learned a new homonym.

Believe me. The alphabet is by far the easy part.

Yeah, I wonder how one even trains for it. But it looks really cool; imagine breaking into it in a public place.
Maybe a few shots of Stolichnaya would help here.
