What really amazed me about this video is that people from, literally, all around the world not only speak their own language (of course), but have learnt German too and are now giving their views very comfortably in English.
That is a misapprehension. The guy doing the interviewing lives in Munich and deliberately seeks out people in the international community there who speak English. Many struggle with German. And most of them are students.
Oh, don't be fooled, this is in Munich. You don't have to know german in Munich, trust me. Even bavarians speak sometimes english with each other, and everyone knows they are both bavarian, cause they tend to have a very specific kind of german accent (which can sound quite nice actually). Even here in Freiburg, which is a smaller city comparably, most international students speak very rudimentary german, if at all, even after a decade of living here - maybe cause they come here to study English Linguistic mostly.
Traditional Oxford English is usually taught in most schools, but the influence of American pronunciation and word choice has been present for decades through music and later through videos, international news, etc. This is why many of the younger generations in particular seem to sound "American".
@@catchcarpcarterand British English sounds way better not to mention I heard way less of these gen z bulls… in UK than in American social media. (Not native speakers opinion…)
@@alicemilne1444 I know, American English developed from the prevelant accents of the UK and Ireland at the time. I was just saying that under certain circumstances, the Irish accent may sound American.
We tried a German-Japanese alliance. It was called AXIS and did not go too well for either country… LOL. But you are correct. Although our cultures could hardly be any more different, we do have a LOT in common as well. But there is also a lot that differs vastly between Japan and Germany…
Yep, for example if you break a rule (even if it's an unspoken one) in Germany you can bet your ass that there will always be at least one german to tell you about your wrongdoing immediately, another german berate you and one more german to cuss you out for that, while everyone around you will stare right into your soul to shame you. In Japan on the other hand, if you break a rule, people will never tell you in your face but try to make you understand in such a polite way that nobody but a japanese person would get it - and then they will silently judge you, but you will never know, until a new local law appears because of that.
4:52 I think two big things you can look at for 'differentness' of a language is relatedness as well as contact. You can definitely overstate this, but a lot of English words and phrases will translate directly into German and Dutch. Then you've got the north germanic languages, which will be the same story but likely less as they split off earlier. Then likely French and Latin, followed by the other Romance languages. As a lot of influencial English speakers spoke those languages as well. After that, it gets a lot 'crazier'. For example, the Slavic languages, while still related, were a lot less influential / in contact with English. There will likely be similar phrases, but a lot more shared between each other than with Romance and Germanic language speakers. This is where grammar also gets pretty 'whacky' from an English speakers perspective. For example like in Latin, with Slavic languages, the word order isn't set. You can pretty much put the words in any order and still be understood! For example, where the purpose of a specific sentence in a Germanic sentence would be defined by the place of its words, in the Slavic language (most of them anyway, there are exceptions) will have the words take different forms. Check out a Langfocus video on a Slavic language (Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, etc) to learn more of how this works! Let's now look at the completely unrelated languages. These will often be VERY different and unintuitive to an English speaker in the way that it can function. For example, while most Slavic languages have the function of the words baked into them, languages like English have time baked into them. You have to specify a time in languages, even if in the abstract. There are languages where you don't have to do this, like many Chinese varieties. Where you indicate time by separate words like yesterday or next year, but don't even have to. Making it possible to, for example, write poetry completely removed from time! You also have languages where the words and grammar you use depend highly on who you're speaking to, making it so that you're essentially speaking multiple different but highly related languages to for example you classmates, your Grandma, and your boss. You see this often in East and South East Asian languages. Then you've got Semitic languages where they largely only write the constonants, and the specific function of the word is depending on the vowels. Check out this example on Wikipedia from Arabic. Where the root is the constonents K-T-B meaning 'write'. Then you've got: كِتاب kitāb "book", كُتُب kutub "books", كاتِب kātib "writer", كُتّاب kuttāb "writers", كَتَب kataba "he wrote", يكتُب yaktubu "he writes Then you've got languages like Turkish, without gendered pronouns. 'He', 'she', 'it', and singular 'they' all translate to just 'o'. As well as the Bantu languages where, for example, Swahili has 15 grammatical genders / noun classes. Depending on shape, gender, animacy, abstraction, and more! I also think it's Navajo, where these noun classes are determined by a to us rather abstract animacy, and the more animate something is, the earlier it comes in a sentence. And that's only the very tippity top of the cool ways we evolved to express ourselves in this world. It's honestly mind-blowing how different but also similar we can be in the most complex shared thing we mostly do daily: Communication. I swear I could talk and learn about this wonderful subject forever!

Sorry to say but the chinese woman is telling nonsens about shootings in Germany. They are really very rare. Futhermore you have to have a "Waffenschein" which is the permission to own a gun. If you are previously convicted you are not allowed to own a gun. Of course in big cities like Hamburg or Berlin there are certain districts I would avoid at night (as in all big western cities) but for sure no no-go-areas.
Well, she comes from China, where guns are officially banned and more importantly - where nobody will ever hear about a shooting happening even if it happened. So of course it made her feel a bit afraid hearing in the news, without censorship or sugarglacing, that a mass shooting happened in the cuontry she's staying in.
1:49 What makes you think it's the Brish Anthem? Given the Geography, then anthem of Liechtenstein is more likely. But since it's Germany, it's certainly the Hymn of the German Empire (Emperor) "Heil dir im Siegerkranz" - all are the same music. The lyrics are "a bit" different 😀 That'd actually make a good reaction video all in itself.
Netflix is so much to answer for. Everybody now speaks with American accent. I think it’s sad says to go to tell which countries people came from before. Plus many Americans already think English is American😮
There are concepts and words that just don't have a translation in the other language, you have to spell out an entire sentence to convey the concept. Also, Italian has formal and colloquial forms which are quite different, probably not to the extent of Japanese but it can probably be challenging for an amateur in the language because it changes most words into plural and things like that

oh mcjibbin...the language word thing is maybe only for the Latin Germanic languages - but compared to other languages it could be multiple words, a phrase or different words for the same meaning. learn more languages. I can speak German, English, Afrikaans. I need to do more. You can also do better. I need to speak at least French as that is taught in most German schools as a 2nd language. So I should be on a minimum of 4. We have to strive for more. knowledge = power.
French is taught at the high education schools, but not at all, kids can choose. In my time it was between french and latin (latin kids when they want to go into linguistic, medical, judicial jobs later on, but they still get french on a lower level later on, while french kids usually got more scientific classes - at least at my school), spanish was also an option additionally or instead of latin. Depends highly on the state and the school type too, i described my school which was a Gymnasium that wenti into both, foreign languages and science. But you can also get away with spanish. Also, even within the latin germanic languages there are many words that can't be just translated, especially when one of them languages is german or english or both.

Now he speaks them. As for learning Indonesian he made a video how much you can learn in a week from zero. That’s how he started. Look up on his channel. He also speaks Spanish.

Hey American. It's easier to learn another language if you start learning about the culture. First you get motivated, second you will find a purpose in learning the language. Then start with a hardcore memorisation of most common words in the language. You can find a list of these words online, it's usually something 2-5K words. You go from there.

The banana incident: Idk the circumstances and could be completely wrong. Generally, when something like this happens it is because the player is from the other team. Soccer fans, esp. ultras, are VERY tribal. They don't care about race or nationality but if you're from the other team (esp. when there is a rivalry or animosity between the teams) you are the enemy. Oc the banana makes it look race-related and maybe it was, but I guess this was just the icing on the cake.
It was also the anthem of Germany during the German Empire. That is why it plays here. The title was Heil dir im Siegerkranz. It was also the anthem of Liechtenstein.
He plays the UK national anthem because the interviewer and channel owner is from the UK and he named his channel "yourtruebrit". He took an interest in Germany one day, then decided to travel across Germany from one corner to the other and only stay with friends he'd make along the way. He filmed some of his experiences (see playlist on his channel). He later decided to start learning German and to continue making videos in Germany (these days typically interviews like this one).
9:08 I think he meant that he appreciated his family and culture more, now that he is in a different country. I think what confused both of us is that this wouldn't be specific to Germany, but it's a valid observation, nonetheless. Oh, and on the language thing; Yeah, when languages are close, it's often a case of just translating the words, but further apart and the structure is completely different. In English, we say: "I would like a sandwich." In Turkish it's like "My 'can' a sandwich wants." 'Can' (pronounced "jan" with A as in khan) is basically untranslateable, but it's kind of like the soul or essence of a person. 'My can' is also what you call your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband.
You've got no one who you trust and who you could talk to alarm your only friend knife that will guide you and watch you in life I'll be a true friend to you you've been dealing with a lot of false ass women out there and they're gonna ruin your life and I know I've been putting spells trying to get to make that will never work because I'm too strong for them

The only true friend you had was me but for your lady friends I'll tell you something now they're trying to get what they can offer you soapy weary be wary of the
I'm German and your history joke isn't funny! You could be spoken to aggressively in Germany for this. We Germans do not tolerate rude and disrespectful behavior.
