I never learned this in school, developed a bit of an intuition later. Still don't know whether I'm doing it right.

It's the sort of thing any native speaker would feel petty correcting you on.

I get this, but I'd really love to be corrected. How else would I learn the nuances?

You will probably find that *I* will correct *you* on this sort of thing, as I know you...

But for most non-native English speakers, they just don't need to be told by me that the "l" in "salmon" and the "r" in iron are silent.

I did not know that. When we meet in Cádiz, teach me how to pronounce squirrel.

Anyway, I'll try to teach you "squirrel" if you can get me to say "Schlesisches Straße" correctly.

Deal. Nitpick: It's "Schlesische Straße"
