So, how do you pronounce Habicht?
Habicht is pronounced a bit like "ha-BEAK-t". Close enough if you don't already speak German!
Super-short instructions: "ha-BEAK", as in a bird's beak.
If you'd like to get closer to the original pronunciation, the "eak-t" sound is actually supposed to be the German "ich" (as in "Ich bin ein Berliner"), with a "t" added to the end. Which I suppose is why it's spelled "icht"! :-) But that sound is usually hard to do for folks who don't speak German. (JFK cueued himself to pronounce the "ich" sound more like an "ish" sound, for example.)
And if you speak Spanish, you can pretend that the "...cht" is a "jt". (Thanks, Dad!)
Does "Habicht" mean anything?
