Hello From Germany

Hey pal, thanks for the sub ^_^ ! About your accent... 98.5% understandable and 100% cool :D . You know, all the bad boys on TV have that German-English accent, so I'd say it's more of an asset instead of something to worry about ;) ...

...love to see that video of you going 288kmh on the Autobahn, too ;) . The Autobahn - where speed it a right :D heh.....

Cheers ^_^ !

Somehow we Germans seem to be predestinated to play the bad guys. ;)

I'll upload the video as soon as I can find it. It was recorded back in 2012, so I'll have to dig deep :)
 
Alan Rickman played Hans Grüber.

I learned German at school but that was 22 years ago, and I get to Germany occasionally. My German is very poor, but I do better when I've had a couple of beers!

Don't we all get better at foreign languages when we get drunk? :p
 
I think as an English native speaker, German is easy to learn so most of us know the basis.

French can do one though, that language is daft.
 
It's not as daft as English as a foreign language.... English is highly irregular. Most German follows rules therefore easier.

Don't let him fool you, he uses Google Translate :p heh jk ;) . Also, the only reason English is highly irregular to @Lurch is because it's British English :D hahah!
 
Fair point there. A lot of the same words but spelled differently between America and England you will often find the English developed the spelling and the Americans kept it. The Americans, however, are still wrong when it comes to aluminium and calling an asphalt road "pavement". No paving happened!!!!

True, but there's a big difference between pavement and gravel like we have here ;) .....

Interesting. I always heard German would be hard to learn.:D

I tried learning French for three years. Let's say it like that: it didn't went that well :mad:

It's meant to be by far the easiest language for an English native speaker to learn as their roots are so close.

You're right, French is ridiculous but I need to be fluent in about 6 months!

Well, good luck with that. ;)Somewhere down the road I lost interest in learning French and I only did as much as was necessary to pass the class. I was so happy when I could finally quit the class :)
 
Well I'm surrounded by native French speakers everyday who don't speak English, so I've got no doubts I can do it. Plus I only work 3 days a week so have loads of time to learn.
