"I'm confused by the pronunciation question. I've been under the impression that Weiß or Weis is pronounced with a soft S, and that's what I hear on German dictionaries online."
If you checked it out, then maybe I'm wrong about that. I remember being corrected in the past when I pronounced it with a double-s sound, but it's certainly possible that the people correcting me were incorrect themselves. I just re-listened to the original cast recording, and the actor who played Weismann does in fact say it with the soft "s" or double-s sound, so I guess that's what they wanted even if there is some question about the spelling. |
