I'm playing a German character in a musical this summer, and today, I joked with a coworker that I wanted to learn how to yodel for the part.
I realized my mistake when he said, "yodel? What's that?"
This guy is not originally from the U.S., and although he's been here for years and speaks English as well as a native, I guess this is not a word he's ever had the need to learn. The thing is, it's kind of hard to explain what yodeling is without, well, yodeling. But since I can't yodel, I found a video of Jewel yodeling and showed that to him.
After watching it, I kind of want to learn to yodel.
