    Who was Friedrich Nietzsche?
    Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (/ˈniːtʃə, ˈniːtʃi/; German: [ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈvɪlhɛlm ˈniːtʃə] (About this soundlisten) or [ˈniːtsʃə]; 15 October 1844 - 25 August 1900) was a German philosopher, cultural critic, composer, poet, and philologist whose work has exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history. He began his career as a classical philologist before turning to philosophy. He became the youngest ever to hold the Chair of Classical Philology at the University of Basel in 1869 at the age of 24.Nietzsche resigned in 1879 due to health problems that plagued him most of his life; he completed much of his core writing in the following decade. In 1889, at age 44, he suffered a collapse and afterward a complete loss of his mental faculties. He lived his remaining years in the care of his mother until her death in 1897 and then with his sister Elisabeth Förster-Nietzsche. Nietzsche died in 1900. Source: en.wikipedia.o...

    Quotes
    He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.
    To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
    That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

      @@johnschmidt2670 ua-cam.com/video/7xdwq9XunTo/v-deo.html (at 0:05) Just choose playback speed 0,5.
      My favorite Nietsche-Teacher is Jochen Kirchhoff (Jo-ch-en Kir-ch-hoff). The -ch- in Jochen is pronounced as Julien Miquel does (at least similar), a typical dutch sound, this kind of pronounciation appears after a, o, u (-ach , -och, -uch); after i, e, eu (pr. oi), r (-ich, -ech-, euch, -rch), plus may be some others, it is pronounced like this mysterious sound in Friedri-ch. English "I" is german "ich". So in any german speaking this sound appears very often. So listen to this video with Jo -CH- en Kir- CH- hoff (maybe also 0,75 or 0,5 speed): ua-cam.com/video/i3VWy-4xw1Y/v-deo.html. There you have loads of -CH- of both kinds ("dutch and mysterious sound). You have many "ich", "sich", "-lich", "mich" etc..
      Recently I discoverd this mysterious sound in scottish gaelic singing: ua-cam.com/video/_y3-tRu8MIk/v-deo.html, already at the end of the 3. syllable of the first man singing (what a beautiful language) again at 0:37, there you have almost a -rich as in Fried-rich. Formerly the germans (still in the 19fifties) pronounced the germans the r's in Friedrich alveolar/dental (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiced_dental,_alveolar_and_postalveolar_trills), nowadays it's in standard german gluttural (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guttural_R). Some parts of Germany keep the alveolar r (typically known with the slavs), fx in Bavaria or in some northern parts. So some germans would pronounce the -rich in Friedrich almost as the scotsman in the song at 0:37 does.

    I am German, and the name Friedrich is not correct the way Julien is saying it. I would get a sore throat from saying it like that. LOL. The "ich" sound is a soft breathing sound, as opposed to a harsh breathing sound, as for instance in Bach. It is easy ..... ich and ech = soft breathing sound. ..... ach, och, uch = harsh breathing sound.
    German diphthongs, soft: euch, eich, oech etc.

    The guy's pronunciation of the -ch at the end of Friedrich is too hard. The -ch here is a softer -ch in German than the -ch in words such as Achtung! In short, there are two ways of pronouncing -ch: soft and hard. And Friedrich is most certainly a soft -ch.

      @@zinebsamad0553 I don't know how to write it so you know how to pronounce it. But I just opened Google Translate, put in Friedrich Nietzsche in German and clicked on the button where she says it out loud. That's how you pronounce it.

    In Australia I usually hear it pronounced a bit like niche-key.
    /niːʃki/ is kind of close but longer on the ni maybe.
