Your pronunciation of the word knecht en specially knoten was really adorable, but no where near the real sound. I’ll try to record that for you, but first i have some catching up to do ;-) .

Someone mentioned pneumonia. In French, the ‘p’ is pronounced in pneumonie. There are other examples where a very similar word in French maintains the pronuncation of a letter that the English have rendered silent.
