This is cool but I prefer when they’re chatting and comparing the language. It’s more interesting to her them talk and laugh together rather than just hearing the words.😊

I love the Dutch ones where the pronunciation is nearly identical to German but the spelling is diabolical.

The American girl there with her English did not understand almost anything in any sentence of other Germanic languages, this shows the strong Hellenic base of current English, while Afrikaans, Dutch and German themselves and between them communicate well without changing the code for English if you want to stay in your native languages, this is very evident in the video.

It could be interesting to hear all West-Germanic languages in comparison. Additional : Schwitzerdüütsch (Swiss German), Yiddish , Pennsylvanian Dutch, Frisian and Luxembourgish...

Also the part where the Dutch lady says Spreek je Engels? She proceeds it with Aangenaam kennis te maken, which should have been said on the previous slide.

There are quite a bunch of German (less used) synonyms e.g. Hospital for Krankenhaus or Apfelsine for Orange. And in northern Germany they also say Appel instead of Apfel. But that would go too far for the comparison. Just mentioning…
