Dutch similarly creates compound words by sticking smaller words together. There is a tendency to simplify these long words by adding spaces between the subwords. Doing that is known as "the English disease" 😏 It's better to improve the recognisability of long words by adding hyphens in a couple of places imo.

It's quite amusing for me, being Dutch but being more-or-less fluent in German........ she's lucky she didn't choose Dutch as a language. Dutch is quite similar to German but with a much more guttural pronunciation; even Germans find it challenging.

Great that this German girl says 'yes' and 'great' to everything that is basically completely wrong. 👏I will never get, how I myself am able to pronounce (or even speak the language) correctly in my own language plus French, Italian, Spanish and English. And you Americans fail on saying even just few letters correctly as soon as they are not within an English word.

Slavic languages are the opposite. Those tend to describe. For example "Streichholzschachtel" the match box in english would be "pudełko do zapałek" in Polish. Literally meaning "box for matches". You find the style in sentences, literature and even song is composed, too. English in comparison lays between, because it does lack the precison of German it tends to describe, but also it tends to shorten everything it can down.

It's not "hyen", but "chen". Soft ch and hard ch are so called fricatives that don't exist in the english language. The Soft ch ist produced by pressing the tip of your tongue on your palate. It has to sound like a broken steampipe. But not like "shhh", that's a different sound - in German it is written as "sch". This one is produced with the front of your mouth, with sort of like a kissing motion. The ch in contrast doesn't require a duck face, the front of the mouth doesn't move.

The base language of the English language is Anglo-Saxon and that is a kind of old-fashioned (Low) German.

Latin is the classic root of Spanish, Portuguese, Italian and Romanian. There is also a lot of Latin in German and French and a huge number of English words in daily use have Latin roots.

Americans trying to pronounce something in German sounds like they drank a few too many Jägermeister.
