He definitely sounds like a Korean-American who speaks both Korean and English natively, so it makes perfect sense that he would pick up German MUCH more readily than a Korean person who doesn't know English (or any other Germanic language).

Ja hat’s recht

His "Schmetterlinge" was perfect. Congratulations from Germany.

Same

German and Korean are actually pretty similar pronounciationwise! We both have „clear“ vowels, not like English or other languages

probably google translate. if i translate your comment to english it says “can you give me the matchbox” but i was wondering the same thing.

Well at least the western germanic group who belongs to the germanic group is related to the romance group through indo-european .

Bolinhoparodias 🤓☝️

The reasoning for this is that Romance (Italic) and Germanic are two branches of the same language family (Indo-European). Other languages that belong to it are stuff like Greek, the Slavic languages, Albanian, the Celtic languages, Iranian, Hindi (among other languages from northern India), etc. Japanese meanwhile is a Japonic language (together with the Ryukyuan languages and Hachijo), Korean is a Koreanic language (alongside Jeju and Yukjin), Chinese is a Sino-Tibetan language (alongside 400 other languages, including Burmese, the Tibetic languages, the Karenic languages, the Tamangic languages, Bai, etc), etc.

German has two sides. One is actually more or less a romantic language for poetry and the like. But those words are rarely shown in such shows for some reason. The more harsh version of german most hear is the one that is most often is words from either praktical or military contexts. There is a distinction tho not officially defined as far as I know between the contexts words were always used in. Which is very very german in way XD Military, work or you could say efficiency german for industry or otherwise the fast and clear giving of knformations is most of the times the types of words that are so clear cut and aggressive or just unrelaxed sounding ones. Which for a battlefield or a factory and yelling them so someone get‘s what you wanna tell them is very useful. But there are words at the same time for civilian or cultural contexts that are waaaaaay to long and with lot‘s of S and U sounds in them along soft vowls and the like. They seem like the opposite abd they are often. Cause they are what the workers talked ablut after work when sitting around and drinking beer or walking home. The chill side of things is very long and slow and soft in comparison to the „zackig“ (edged or hardcut in german) words for quik delivery or orders or information in a stressed situation. It‘s really weird and I may do a bad job conveiging what I try to explain but it‘s something no one seems to really talk about regarding our language

@@identity7536 "Töte den Soldaten!" Sounds angry and the way people would expect German to sound like, but "Ermorden Sie bitte den Armeeangehörigen" sounds less so, despite both meaning "Kill the soldier". That could be used as an example. It's like how English can sound fancy or pretty boring depending on how eloquently you phrase your sentences (with the eloquence of words usually depending on if they come from Middle French or from Old English). Another thing would of course be the tone of your voice. Saying "I like cats" in an aggressive voice will make people think you sound aggressive, so of course aggressively saying "Ich mag Katzen" will too.

Just the text was wrong. They said it right

Why didn't they choose "tschechisches Streicholzschächtelchen".

*man not men

​@@TheLittleDeath1 That's just evil

@@steakiefrags1866 I know *veg*

I noticed she fixed the grammar when she spoke it instead of reading it out as it was written lol

Kannst du mir die Streichholzschachtel geben is the correct grammar

HAHAHA ich hab nicht darüber nachgedacht, dass der Satz Sinn machen würde, wenn jemand "Streichholzschachtel" heißen würde 😂😂😂

If a kid called Kalender why not Streichholzschachtel 😅

It would mean:"Can you give me that, matchbox"😂

​@@Marcel_BorutzkiDitch your language and embrace English

​@@fabricio4794NIEMALS!

„Kannst du mir das geben Streichholzschachtel“ ist ja nicht mal ein richtiger Satz😂😂😂

A mesma coisa parece acontecer falantes de espanhol, não conseguem entender muito bem um brasileiro falando, mas nós conseguimos entender até bem espanhol, mesmo sem aulas de espanhol.

same in german actually, if you use the same words (there are dialects with different worda) we understand even the worst accents

Chances are, they're not even trying to understand for some reason. It's quite different in the UK; people generally make an effort to understand even the trickiest accents most of the time

If US American come to the UK they have difficulties to understand people, too and English is the native language of the Brits.

US-Americans in general have less exposure to foreign languages than many other nations, that's why they tend to struggle.

what are you talking about bro, these sentences were way too hard, especially for people who dont know a word in german. they shouldve started with just one word.

@@maxsimes Yes, and the word should've been : "Donau­dampfschifffahrts­elektrizitäten­hauptbetriebswerk­bauunterbeamten­gesellschaft"

Gamberi? Garnelen? 🍤 😋 yummy

What is gambiarra? Is it a lifestyle/cultural thing associated with Brazil or did you repeat a word she pronounced wrong?

​@@miristtotallw "Gambiarra" is when you need to solve a problem (usually in objects) and you improvise something so it looks similar or can be used until you buy a new one. In this case, she didn't have the whole word, so she added a word to complete it and deliver the complete sentence.

intead of doing like traditional Chinese and making a unique character for everything, we take what words already exist. imagine if chinese had a character for entire sentences. that would be too much.

As a native German speaker (and a language enthusiast) I must say that they did amazing. In person I try to be uplifting but I'm actually very critical in my head. (I just don't think that bringing up EVERY mistake someone made is always the right way to motivate people to learn more.) But I was honestly amazed how well they did in some parts. How they did the hard parts like "z" or "ch" and really tried (so much that they forgot the easier parts). I usually see a lot of people doing the easy parts and half-assing the hard ones, which is totally valid since you will be understood far better, but it is really cool seeing people doing sounds that obviously don't even exist in their language. Also the game could have been just as fun if not more so if they didn't give them long sentences PLUS difficult words, imo. But I liked the video a lot. And yes, the Brazilian girl celebrating the last one as a victory was lovely! Especially since she was keen on repeating the melody of the sentence which is also a detail often overlooked.

im german thanks for learning our language !

or maybe not because no matter what the Japanese girl just finds German words long and difficult, so she would just end up forgetting the words in the middle of the sentence

its weird because as a german i find japanese pronunciation pretty similar to german so it shouldnt be that hard imo

​@@DarsusD Well, you're somewhat right. For Germans Japanese pronunciation is not that hard because they use a lot of sounds that we use too. But the difference is that we use more sounds than the Japanese do, so it doesn't work the other way around.

Essa moça é figura pública?

​@@tsukuyomi1018deveria

The long words are simply nouns and adjectives but that are written without a space in between It does the same with numbers. 55 555 gives: fünf­und­fünfzig­tausend­fünf­hundert­fünf­und­fünfzig But it's just as if you wrote Fiftyfivethousandsfivedhundredandfiftyfive in one word Another example can be cargo plane which becomes Frachtflugzeug in German, Fracht being cargo and flugzeug being a plane

i watched a few polyglot youtube videos and all of them say that german is relatively easy to learn compared to other languages. especially when your native language is english. and my english father says the same. the language is very phonetically consistent. which makes it easy. just learn how every letter is pronounced and you are good to go.

@@PatG-xd8qn its and old language,should be replaced by English....all that Guys in Scandinavia should do the same...Their Language sucks...

Compound words were also a feature of the English language and some of them still exist in modern English. For example "fisherman" is such word and it works the same way as German compound words are built. The most general term is at the end and the word(s) connected in front define this term in more detail. Therefore a "fisherman" is a "man" that "fishes". Another example would be compound words based on "day" like "monday" or "hollyday". The only difference is that in German this chain can be extended, to define a word even more. For example "Easter Monday" is "Ostermontag" ("Eastermonday"). Therefore it is a lot easier to read such long German terms than it seems because they can be split into the individual words.

We often just put words together. “Glove” for example is translated to “hand shoe”. But because it’s a single word it seems longer.
