Imagine hearing a few thousand of them marching into Poland chanting the devil's language. Personally I'd fucking run.

Also, why do they use all European flags for French, English, Italian and German, and then they use a Southern American flag for Spanish?
I love the french language.
Krankenhaus sounds way sweeter.
I don't like this guy's videos. There's not a German person in the world who would pronounce words like that, apart from doing it in order to make a point of how aggressive german words sound. It's because he fucking yells like Hitler. It works in any language. I could use a mild and soothing voice as well to achieve the exact opposite and claim German was a particularly calm language. I don't know, it just come off as gimmicky to me
As a Dutch person this reminds me how much Dutch has in common with German. Although lately, we have been drifting more towards English.
alot of the words in Dutch are structured the same way as in German....

That's the joke
Some of the pronunciation on this is really weird. I don't think the French lady is a native French speaker... Or the English one, for that fact. It kind of sounds like they all got people who don't speak those languages to try and speak one, especially the atrocious German :v:
I had some classes in italian, I speak spanish and I reached a level in german like 10 years ago. All that I remember is that german is fucking disgusting. Personally, every language has a charm for me. For example when a woman speaks spanish or italian that is like singing and french is beautiful but god damn german is an annoyance to my ears. I guess it's really my taste on this matter. Also the spanish speaker in the video is horrendous.

I thought "Hey, french woman with a baguette and a british guy with an umbrella because haha UK is rainy everyday, this must be a not so serious video"
But after reading your post I am now totally convinced that this is a very serious misrepresentation of germans and we have to send a [del]angry[/del] polite letter to the NATO/EU/whateverganization so they do something about it.
I'm gonna be learning German in the next 2 months, how hard will it be?

I would love to say "You merely adopted the german language. I was born with it. Molded by it." In german of course
[QUOTE=KleinerHl;45838987]I'm gonna be learning German in the next 2 months, how hard will it be?[/QUOTE]
If you're very fluent in English, German is actually pretty easy to learn.
[QUOTE=KleinerHl;45838987]I'm gonna be learning German in the next 2 months, how hard will it be?[/QUOTE]On the plus side for you, about 40% of the vocabulary is loan words. There's quite a few exceptions in things such as making plural words, but you can get around it. And some you can guess and be right most of the time, some verbs for example change their vowels depending on the subject, but if the vowel is an a for example, it almost always becomes an ä.

Well it is part of the joke but he tries it WAY TOO FUCKING HARD.
You can make this whole "geman words sound like massacre" thing way funnier with a smarter presentation.
[QUOTE=KleinerHl;45838987]I'm gonna be learning German in the next 2 months, how hard will it be?[/QUOTE]
It's not really that hard. It was my first language before English but pretty much all of the people that I know who have learned German thought it was easy once you understand the grammar and pronunciation.

Also pronunciation isn't too bad, some sentences can become quite long but you should get used to it, and it becomes kind of fun after awhile imo.

There's a lot of tenses..
I did a semester course in it , somehow passed the exam, but I can't say I know that much about the language other than a bit of vocabulary.
They use syntax from ancient greek. Well after translating stuff from ancient greek to modern greek , the german syntax is similar to ancient greek. Well the techniques I learned in ancient greek are used in German. So since modern greek is one of the hardest languages in the world , imagine ancient greek. German is hard to learn , but if you study and keep contant with the language as you are progressing it should be fine.Sure the vocabulary has a 40% loan words but don't forget the countless phrases and grammar rules. . Also let's not forget that Η επανάληψις εστί μήτηρ μαθήσεως.
I think that we are done here.

Just learn a bunch of knock-knock jokes; you'll do fine.

What is a joke
is there a reason it's 240p? is this a reupload?
They could have at least used the right translations.
Sex is the same in German, Sex. "Geschlechtsverkehr" would be sexual intercourse.
Pen is also not really "Kugelschreiber", that would be a biro (Br. english) or ballpen/ballpoint, the more correct translation would be "Stift".
I get the joke to also use certain words that sound more angry and with more "r"s but still.
[QUOTE=Sub-Zero;45839955]So since modern greek is one of the hardest languages in the world , [/QUOTE]
Are you serious? The little Greek I have learned seemed relatively easy compared to other languages I have tried.
Haha its funny cus all German people speak like that!
The words aren't actually pronounced that in a way sound like hitler's voice :^(
