I do a pretty good German accent, when speaking in English. Admittedly, it probably sounds a little like an SS interrogator, so I'm mindful of where I do it.
I reckon you'd pronounce Friedrich Nietzsche pretty well, probably it'd sound better from you than me with my Australian accent and all.
Germans have such a funny accent when they speak English ;) Maybe that's why many people here don't speak English? Because it sounds funny? ;) But I'd rather stay quiet, my English accent is definitely hilarious. I can write without any problem at all, but when it comes to speaking... uff! But after 2 beers, it's no longer a problem! :)
Yep, some accents mangle the English language but I think that's true generally with them all. There's some accents that make English sound better as well.
Two beers huh? I think there's a story waiting to emerge...
Yes, we have proof that after two beers, I can speak without people laughing in my face. ;) We had an English-speaking man in our nursing home, and I was the only one who spoke English, so he was in my care. But I always mixed English and German, so he was always smiling. (Maybe it wasn’t so bad, since I gave him something to smile about.)
One day, we had a picnic with co-workers at our nursing home. After two beers, I said, forget everything, I'm going to talk to this man and prove to you that I can speak without mixing in German. I felt like a pro. He was looking at me pretty strangely, but I don't think it was because of my speaking! 🤔
I'd like to hear your English-Gernan mash up. Lol. Seriously though, I am always amazed at how people can switch languages mid-sentence and mid-thought. Shows an agile mind.
Oh you don't want to hear that 😂 Maybe we will meet on Hive fest someday, and then I will talk to you with all my languages mixed together 😂
I'll play up my Aussie accent more than usual; should be fun.
The only thing I know you Aussies are famous for is the word "mate" ;)) So you need to use this word a lot ;)
