Ngl that German was pretty clean

@pvpminer9007 Жыл бұрын

His German was flawless well maybe more on the casual side but I have a friend who sounds alot like this and he is 100% german so as we say in Germany Hut ab.

@Laittth Жыл бұрын

it was alright but definitely not "flawless". he pronounced the s in "spreche" and "verstehe" as s when they should sound like "sh" and said biss-shen instead of bisschen

I personally found that German was the easiest to pronounce, followed by French and then Swedish. Swedish accent is SUPER difficult.

@@ElectroIsMyReligion They are completely different languages what he said would be understood by a swede since the scandinavian languages are simillar enough to be understood by each other "jag pratar litegrann svensk" sounds like very typical norwegian, in sweden it'd be said "jag pratar lite svenska" which is fairly simillar but those distinctions are important (not to mention that nowregian has two different variants, nynorsk and bokmål) that's like saying portugese and spanish are the same just because they have an iberian origin

Louis XIV was a strong king but he overspent on wars, which left his heirs in a precarious financial position. This led to the French Revolution two kings later, during the reign of Louis XVI, who was executed.
