What German sounds like to non-germans

Recently shared this with another member, and was suggested I share it for you all. Now, the key here is to sit down with a nice glass of whatever, turn your volume to medium loud (you'll be glad you did) and sit through the whole thing.

I'm interested to know what word you made it to without shooting whatever your drink was through your nose.

Hah, this is really great. I'm not German but I seriously wonder if they put that much stress on their words XD

No, not at all. Everything is blown way up and overemphesized but hilariously so

It's pretty excellent. Let my german stereotypes live in peace!

This had me In tears from laughter.

The German Interpretation (and facial expressions) Is so hilarious.
A priceless contribution.

If you pay close attention, his beer gets bigger every time

This was awesome! I'm so glad you showed it to me!

I actually was once told that British people sound similar to Germans to people from the Netherlands. It's funny since I think they sound similar to Germans. I weirdly like the German accent (probably as there's a comedian I like with said accent), but I strongly dislike them individually. To me, they seem arrogant, cocky and rude. It's just a different social system and language, so I shouldn't judge. xD

From speaking German long enough I have a mildly german accent.. but I can still pronounce squirrel.

My roommate is actually 100% German. He's an exchange student from Germany.
