  1. “Do you wanna sleep with me, honey ?”
    “In German it would sound like this: RAAAAAAAWWWHHW !”

    Yush, that’s how we Germans sound in bed XD

  2. Of course all those ein kleines, eine kleine ein kleiner, einem kleinen are
    challencing but they follow some rules. Not impossible. But new words, are
    they der, das or die? How even the Germans can follow them?

  3. If u pronounce german words like u were a fkn pirate with some serious
    aggression problems it is obvious that german sounds scary. Such a retard
    video

  4. I’d recommend you to read “The Awful German Language” by Mark Twain. A
    million times funnier than this BS. Whom are you trying to impersonate?
    Paris Hilton vs. Rammstein? Poor.

  5. It’s not fair game if you go “devil voice” while speaking German and goes
    “child voice” while speaking English. If you did it the other way around
    English would have sounded “more scary” than German.

  6. German language is beautiful, logical underlining the brilliance of German
    culture, science, mathematical/logical thinking. I’m proud how so many good
    things have arrived to Finland from Germany.

  7. Do you really make jokes about the germans?? Didn’t you learn what can
    happen when germans have trouble with somebody?? :-)

  8. there are scientific papers about this topic and it’s absolutely not
    aggressive. he is just making it sound aggressive. one reason is that
    german has many gluttal stops. nearly every word ends on a gluttal stop.
    that’s the sound you make when you say bri-ish instead of british or
    something similar. and because english speakers aren’t used for words to
    end on this sound it sounds aggressive. only one reason. get your facts
    straight

  9. The only scary thing in your video is the way you pronounce the german
    words … and your face

  10. Oliver Riedel from Rammstein said “German language suits heavy metal
    music. French might be the language of love, but German is the language of
    anger.”[

    I like German, although I have a LOT to learn. Thanks for making these fun
    videos. Eventually, my friends in Mainz will understand what I’m saying!!
    :-)

  11. oh shut up, I’m an Arabic speaker,and I find German to be one of the most
    beautiful languages out there. Far better than English.

  12. *Girl Scout*. Boy Scouts do not sell cookies. 😉 They learn survival
    skills. And occasionally sell popcorn.

  13. I have a question? do people in Germany are like that? they don’t want to
    give an answer…here in my country everybody wants to be on TV and say
    hello to their families. Or probably is not polite to talk people in the
    streets?

  14. I think colloquial usage is king. If you dont understand the way people
    actually use the language then you will never be able to communicate
    effectively. Slang is also extremely important, its what makes the
    language rich and flexible. And a bit of cuss words thrown in helps too.
    All of these things you wont find in a textbook but they are so important.
    Without them you sound stiff,robotic and out and out foreign. These videos
    are great. Macht weiter so.

  15. This is absolutely splendid thanks so much for your efforts! Slowly moving
    through easy german and really appreciated its authentic nature.

  16. @Ajan Naber: It is colloquial German. A kind of short form for “gerade” and
    means “right now” or “at the moment”. Actually it is wrong German and
    honestly I don’t know why they teach non-German people wrong German. They
    should rather teach the German how to use the word correctly. I must
    confess I also always say and write “grad”, it’s a kind of bad habit and my
    boyfriend asks me all the time why i always say “grad” though the correct
    word is “gerade”

  17. ziemlich viele Rechtschreibfehler in den Untertiteln.. Muss das sein?
    Perfekt schreibt man mit K!!!

  18. This is a great idea and very helpful for someone who rarely meets German
    speaking people.If the women chosen at random are a cross section of German
    females ,then Germany must have more beautiful woman than anywhere else.

  19. What prejudice? That Germans are cold people? Are you going to tell me they
    are as friendly or cheery as Brazilians for instance? I´ve been on Germany
    for 6 months therefore I know what I am talking about. In terms of
    friendship it was (hands down) the most difficult place I´ve ever been..
    Most Germans simply don´t want to relate with foreigners.
