I find it hard to believe that there are all kinds of Dialogue Teachers out there ... except one to teach something so common as basic German pronounciation?? Let's leave the false grammar behind (the Mom says "mich" instead of "mir" at the beginning, when she has that fit in the bath tub), but boys who grew up with a Mom who came supposedly from Prussia would have spoken entirely different (not like Eastern European immigrants) and without faults! Such a shame, when the producers were able to find people to create exotic African dialects such as Wolof or proper spoken Russian...that there seem to be no German speaking people available in New York to teach a handful of words properly?
