      @Generic Guy That argument falls apart when you consider that a big part of why so many Germans speak English is because everyday German is also heavily Americanized. The reality is there's a lot of historical and cultural overlap between the two countries: German-Americans make up the biggest reported ancestry group in the US, there used to be whole German-language newspapers and publishers in the US.
      Heck, Pennsylvania Dutch is still a thing to this day, the Amish call their law literally the "Ordnung".
      The US presence post-WWII, heavily ramping up during the cold war, and still lasting to this day, is also a very big cultural exchange factor in reverse. Making Germany one of the biggest US American diasporas particularly outside the Americas, and resulting in German pop-culture being pretty aligned with US trends.

      @@YukiTheOkami You should have typed: "Nearly every English speaker knows or speaks some German words" instead of "speaks some German" the latter implies that you know how to at least construct basic phrases in German and understand basic phrases German speakers would say. Speaking some words or knowing them has nothing to do with speaking some of a language, otherwise most Germans would speak English as they use a lot of anglicisms on a daily basis, yet when you start conversing in English, all you hear from most of them are some broken sentences which makes it a guessing game sometimes.

      ​@@blenderpain8249 Each character is not a word. It can be, but most of the time, we're dealing with multisyllabic words or other disambiguating features like reduplication or other forms of contextualization.
      Also: 44k chars is just plain wrong. Just knowing 4k is in the realm of a very decent education, and, by itself, not even a predictor of how good your overall vocab or spoken Chinese is.
      It's also fairly systematic in many ways. Sure, you got a pretty hefty challenge just cramming chars at first, but it's not like you didn't have to drill the latin (or any other) alphabet - written Chinese really isn't that bad once you get into the groove, and learning new characters really is no different from learning new English words... which is something most native speakers will be doing for the rest of their days.
      I'm down for some quips, but people have a tendency to mystify these things so much. Cram Duolingo or Clozemaster and you'll inevitably learn the language, just make sure to also keep writing your flashcards on paper, endlessly, every day. Look for nice podcasts as well, it's magic for language learning.
      All that yip-yapping aside, Bengt is freaking hilarious. Really witty dude.

And when you start thinking everyone around you knows how to speak English, you will definitely find people who don’t.

For Christians, basically everything happens for a reason - because all of your life has been planned by the God, etc., etc., there's no place for randomness. The most random thing you can see is your own free will (which is not so random at all) that can lead you closer or further away from the God's plan. Everything and anything that happens in your life is a sort of test for you, it's supposed to help you grow and become closer to the God. Even if you're already considered a good person and suddenly you suffer for no apparent reason, it's His way of further purifying you, making you more eligible to go to the Heaven... or something like that.

    As a U.S Army Veteran myself and also having lived in Germany for 4 years, i can say that picking up on the simpler words and learning numbers was not difficult AT ALL. But it was descriptive words that I had a hard time remembering. I could learn things like ordering food and drinks, telling taxi drivers where I want to go, greeting people and asking how they are, I could get around, but I just didn't learn enough to carry on a conversation. I actually ended up being able to understand more then I could speak, which was a little like having a stroke and being able to understand people but when I tried to say something it came out nonsense. Lol. And it's true what he said, I actually started speaking to Germans in English with a German accent much quicker then I learned any German without even noticing I was doing it.

      Yea, it really is weird how coded to war Americans have become. We went from the 70s anti war free love generation to this total worship of war generation. All out allegiance, as if speaking against war means you want your brother or sister to die. It's psychopathic that if you try to PROTECT your family from going to war by being... anti war - that means you are unpatriotic and want USA to fail. I actually have seen it all, being a child from the 70s and 80s. This country is SO effed. Can't even write f___ out here without getting banned anymore. That's what 3 years does.

      @@GregJoshuaW Dude we're in one of the biggest eras of peace in the past 100 years right now. Not sure what you're talking about. Total worship of war?
      Nobody is speaking out in favor of war, we're applauding our armed forces. That's a HUGE difference.

    Haha this was really great comedy, thank you so much. Really appreciated the name bit, especially being a scandinavian myself; I was reading the name thinking like "Your name's not 'Bent', it's BeNGGGT" And then you called that out yourself and pronounced it perfectly. Don't know why, but that in itself was just very funny and great, to me. Am impressed and happy! Thanks!
