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.
I want a recording of this.

Actually you're right, I never noticed that.
I like "The Regulation of Property" the most, It's absolutely hilarious. Can't wait to show this to friends.

Fun little fact about the German language... If they don't have a word for it, they steal it from the English or they just mash all the words used to describe it together.
ex: Krankenhaus = Sick house = hospital

Incredible, the German language never ceases to amaze me.
What adds to the humor of this video, Is the facial expressions and body language with each word pronounced. I'm still kind of laughing at It, It's made my day.

The Italian, Japanese and american pronunciations were so cringey. but hey... it's still hilarious! I never thought German words would be long and why is the Japanese one speaking like she is on helium?

Interesting. I thought English was the newer language.
