German Language Tip

When Germans want to address an American in a teasing way, be it affectionate or cruel teasing, then they use the word "Ami". A few days ago I was chatting with a few older women and one them was trying to explain a concept to me. I was having difficult understanding and so she said (affectionately), "Awwww, die Ami versteht nicht" (Awwww, the Ami doesn't understand).
