The video was hastily done by me, however I have no idea who wrote that essay.
I know it's just a case of someone struggling with a second language, but fuck me if it didn't still crack me up.

this makes me worry that someone has gotten hold of my old horrible german essays and it's making the rounds on krautchan
"I sometimesa wantedr tgo hlit sbome cahildren wrhen I gsee lhe smoeking."
I want to do one of these now
I want to see a scan / source of that essay. This is too golden to be true.

I'll provide a picture tomorrow. Sadly it will be photographed via phone camera, since I don't even have a scanner.
The music
That's a great way to use "In the House in a Heartbeat."
That song just fits with so many things.
That paper literally made no sense what soever.

"I disapprove of smoking" seems to be the general theme. Beyond that...
alcohol and grugs
That was an exam essay? Jesus christ, did that guy not go to a single english lesson in those 12 years or something?

Trust me, I wouldn't have nearly enough energy to fake this! :v:
I absolutely lost it at the German part.

Seems like a failing grade essay. I know people who are this bad at english (though not a latvian) and these would be clearly a non pass.

I doubt they could even get like 1 point from an essay like this, literally every sentence had at least one grammar mistake and almost every word had a spelling mistake.

I don't see how this isn't any different from learning any other language. A few years back when I did my GCSE italian course my essay consisted of me trying to use animal and house words (easiest to learn) as much as possible, making up grammar, spelling and even words in some cases.
I got a C/B.
A-level? Do they START from A and go up? I'm finnish and If I wrote an essay like this in the A-english in high school, my teacher would have butchered me with a rusty spoon. :v:

This is an exam essay so I think it's gonna be quite a lot worse for the guy than that.

A-levels means an exam. I, at least, think so.

Holy shit.
Now the question is if the exam grader would give it extra points for being funny or negative points for cooking his or her brain.
