Hey rabbits!
In this video I try to elaborate why the German accent in English sounds like it sounds comparing both languages a bit and giving funny examples.
For a video of me speaking English in a really ridiculous German accent and showing you around my city, click here:

@@manonc613 Right! Last letters like 'e'! And the 'r' in 'er' and the 't' in 'et' and almost anytime a word ends with an 's' it's silent, and don't get me started on silent 'x'es. :D Je plaisante! I love the French language, but ending consonants are hard to get used to as an American.

"We Germans pronounce every letter" [h in the middle of a word stares from a distance]
@gregslow1
@gregslow1 4 года назад
One of the numerous claims in the video that won't stand closer scrutiny. Practically all the unstressed vowels in German are candidates for centralisation/reduction ("weakening"), but the unstressed vowels definitely are, even in standard varieties and in careful enunciation. There is elision, as there is in English. Think of how the word 'bauen' is pronounced, or 'Sachen'. Word-final, post-vocalic 's never see the light of day: 'Vater', 'weiter', 'Lehrer'. A.s.o.
@gregslow1
@gregslow1 4 года назад
@José Hoppenstedt Well, how aobut consulting the Duden (or any other recognized authority)? Or do you have something other than your intuition to base your comment on? The misinterpretation of German spelling (by native speakers and, most unfortunately, by teachers) is one of the most detrimental factors in the learning/acquisition/teaching of pronunciation. Do you read your alias as /ho-pen-stet/? No?Why not?

For example spielen and Stadt. I really had no idea how to pronounce it as it is a foreign word in German. The guys were laughing at me and were like "so you want a sshhhhteak?" XDD

+henkkaiz3 I'm not surprised they were having a ball with your attempts German pronounciation, seeing as how "Steak" with a soft German S-sound is pretty much bang-on the proper German pronounciation of the word "Steg" which has a variety of meanings, the most common being jetty/gangway/boardwalk - so you were basically asking the waiter to provide you with a landig place for your boat! :) Big kudos to you for actually making an effort not only to speak German in Germany, but actually get it right as well. I know quite well how most Germans are overeager to accomodate any native speaker by showing off their English skills.

What an AMAZING video!!! This was so interesting -- watched it all the way to the end and really enjoyed every second of it :) As an American, native-English speaker living here in Germany, I have trouble with the German accent in pretty much the opposite of all the problems you mentioned Germans having with the English accent :D So for example, instead of having trouble making the strong R, I have trouble saying the nice, cute, soft German r. And while it's kind become "a thing" that Germans have trouble saying squirrel, I also have a REALLY hard time saying Eichhörnchen :D What a mouthful that word is! :)

My father and his brothers spoke perfect English but, also, perfectly accented German. My siblings and I pronounce German terribly. This led me to believe that we learn different phonics at a very early age to speak them naturally. I'd love to see you do a video on how English speakers butcher German pronunciation. For heaven's sake, why would you apologize? You're as kind as can be, even when you're making jokes.

The english language descend from german language of the anglo-saxons. The word "England" hints to that fact pretty well. The term is used for tribes from the very north of germany and the very south of todays denmark. The influences came from the frisians who settled at the coast from the netherlands up to todays danish border. The second was the "Angeln" wich came from the north east of Schleswig-Holstein. Other influences came from danish tribes of the "Jutes". The modern lower German wich is still spoken in the north of Germany in everyday life is still pretty close to the english language. Even the people who don't speak lower german tend to forget about word endings and their accent is much softer than the typical German.The language of the Frisians is also still spoken in the northern parts of germany. Speakers of the lower german language can understand danish and dutch pretty good. English is kind of a mixture of all these languages with some latin influences. you really should listen to it. It's kind of a cute language.

Why do women love the French accent and language so much? To a lesser extent men like German (of the European languages)? I've seen a couple of your videos that sound like you think German is ugly and French is beautiful. In American high schools, girls are the predominant people in a French class while boys are in it because the girls are. I'm a chemist and think Germans are awesome, Germans (all German speakers) constantly out number the French in scientific papers published, perhaps because their language gets shit done. Even the famous French croissant is Austrian.
@NorthernXY

Hilarious response, thanks. Some of what you've written makes sense, but it just leads to psychology. Germans as I've said are a wealthier people and smarter, things that should appeal to women more than just speaking "effeminately" or "non-threatening". Maybe it's more of a girl vs women thing, but my best friend who happens to be a woman is trying to learning German with me as we try to learn enough and get a job in Germany because we appreciate Germans prize education and engineering over "love and romance".

Bladey H. Queen Ugh!!! Wrote out a really long reply but computer lost it. Think you misunderstood me talking about my friend, I know she isn't doing it for romance. I have Asperger's so logic to me is instinctual, my fight or flight is predicated on my instincts to fight with logic. I can't understand people who are entirely ruled by emotions nor they me, all being our instincts. Logical instincts may just appear to not be instincts like emotional instincts do because it is generally predicated on facts that are easier to quantify and the cognitive workings of the brain to compile and process data quickly that others can understand, like you and me.

Bladey H. Queen​​ Without the intention of being rude, you answered my question with feelings rather than logic/facts, something common with right brainers. The answer wasn't insightful, the stereotype for women is that they like nice and pleasant things, which you eloquently stated in many more words. The French accent is grafted from Frankish, which most commonly resembles modern Dutch (a Germanic language) and only reinforces the stereotype women don't belong in politics or science, professions that require logic more than feeling. You didn't address Spanish or Italian, both Romance languages derived from Latin, like French. You mentioned nothing about the Court of Love or because Salian Law forbade woman from direct inheritance they were regulated to 2nd class nobility and came up with the rules of manners. I appreciate your responses, but it's nothing more than stating common sense about women carying more about feelings than logic, something every man knows.

I'm half English, half German (though English is my first language and I've always lived in London). I found myself recognizing everything you say when my German relatives try to speak to me in English. With some of my relatives, their German accents are really strong! My mother (who was German) lived in England for decades and though her German accent became weak over time, she never quite lost it! The German accent is very characteristic! You can't mistake it! And in my experience there are very few Germans that can speak English without it being clear that they are German! I often find it's with the simple words that you can tell it's a German speaking English. So for example they will say "hätt" instead of hat. Or "sree" instead of "three"! But to be fair, many English people have problems pronouncing German! My own German pronunciation is reasonably good because my mother started teaching me as a small child. But when I was at school the other pupils often could not pronounce the German "ch" sound, which we don't have in English. And with the English tendency to round off the vowels and soften the consonants (the opposite of what Germans do) their German can sound very strange. So instead of "Brot" they may say something like "Brott" or "Broud"! My main problem is with the German grammar! But that's another story! Loved your video! Really interesting!

Hi. I just found your channel today and enjoy it very much! My wife and I hosted a German high school student for one year about 15 years ago. One day she asked how she can improve her accent. I said to speak German with a bad American accent. Now speak English like that. It worked, and we had a good laugh. I wanted to point out something with your English pronunciation of words that end in "ar" like "similar." You are pronouncing it like the word "are," but it should be pronounced like the "er" in "water." Sim-uh-ler in American English and Sim-uh-luh in British English. In fact, most English words ending in "ar" are pronounced this way: popular, polar, calendar, grammar, scholar, regular, vinegar are all pronounced with the "er" sound. Keep up the good work!

Gotta admit... I like your accent. Although, I tend to enjoy a lot of accents... British, French, Australian.. Looks like I can add German to my list of accents that I like!

Thanks so much for this video! I'm an actor, and I like to work from native speakers when I'm learning an accent, but there's not a lot of crossover between people explaining specific sounds and people who are native speakers - this was perfect! (Plus it was hilarious. XD)

The TH one amuses me because i studied old german and the formation of the english language. The TH is originally old german that was preserved in the british isles and the scandinavian world, however, most people on european continent lacked the ability to pronounce the TH aside from the greeks until later on. This caused a consonant shift in the german language due to continental trade and immigration, and what was once unique to them got lost in time. The story is similar with the W, but english brought the german W to the front of the mount instead of the back while the german language transformed it into a special V. Thus, the English and german Vs, though having a similar sound, are produced differently because of this. I'd probably have to make a video about this to explain it. It amused me further when you brought up that germans typically replace it with an S, where as all the TH's in old german were replaced by D's in high german such as "The" turning into Die (old english had the same vowel pronounciation until the normans conquered.) other examples are Thing>Dinge, Think>Denke, That>Das, Though>Doch, Thought>Dacht. so its interesting to see them pronounce it with an S instead of a D. Even our kids pronounce the sound with a D until they learn how to make the TH sound. Its even more odd that a german can easily transform denken into a redneckish thinkin' by only dropping their tongue alittle bit instead of going at it in the S route. Other changes are -lich>ly, -cht>-ight (Licht>Light, Recht>Right, Nacht>Night, Furcht>Fright, Brought>gebracht), -dge>cke (Bridge>Brücke, Hedge>Hecke, Ridge>Rücken) for gh, ght and dge english lost its hardness to the french while german gained hardness.

+Aidan Hodge Talks best comment seen in a long time on the entire RU-vid! I am also learning German with the help of English as a native Chinese speaker. I do realize all the accents the Germans have when they are speaking English. But also i see so much in common between English and German, and the transformations of prefix and endings. Comparing to my mother language, it's much of a help to learn German with English. :)

Mike Romney i would definitely say about the grammar in English is so much easier than in German. that's why most Germans have no problem in understanding the English language. even though i've met some of them struggling in correct spelling or making up a whole sentence.

+Vincent G (VikingSail) English's Latin (SVO) word order makes a lot of things easier. I'm pretty sure v2 word order of Germanic Languages makes, many people strugle hard.

Ich schaue dich sehr gerne und bin erstaunt über die unglaublich guten videos. Du wurdest mir auf youtube empfohlen. Zuerst war ich (wegen deiner relativ kleinen youtube größe) am zweifeln, musste jedoch feststellen dass deine videos deutlich besser sind als die von "erfolgreicheren" RU-vidrn. Ich hoffe du hast mich verstanden xD. Entschuldige dass ich es noch nicht auf englisch schreiben konnte, ich gehe erst in die 7. Klasse

Trixi, I loved this video. One thing I really like about the German language (i.e. Hochdeutsch) is its staccato nature. This separates the words and makes them a bit easier to understand (for non-native speakers).

Moin aus Deutschland ;) ich weiß nicht, ob es schon jemand angesprochen hat, deswegen versuche ich es einmal: Ich studiere Deutsch und dies beinhaltet Sprachwissenschaften und Ältere deutsche Literatur ( worin man zu Anfang einen Einsteigerkurs in Mittelhochdeutsch bekommt) Und ich kann dir die Antwort geben, weswegen wir im Deutschen ein 't' sprechen, obwohl ein d am Ende eines Wortes steht. Dies nennt man eine Auslautverhärtung. Man geht davon aus, dass das gesprochene Wort vor dem geschriebenen stand. Um einen Unterschied zwischen verschiedenen Wörtern (die nicht dem selben Stammbaum angehören) sehen zu können, beispielsweise, wenn diese dekliniert werden, hat man die Konsonanten einfach schriftlich verändert. ZB. Wald ist im Plural Wälder. Würde es mit t geschrieben werden, wäre es: Wälter oder Welter. Da wir zB auch das Wort Welt haben, könnte es zu Verwirrungen kommen, was nun gemeint ist. Falls dich noch mehr zu dem Thema interessiert, empfehle ich dir Literatur zur Einführung ins Mittelhochdeutsche. Liebe Grüße aus der Heimat.

We don't pronounce the "e" on "horrible" because it is silent: in English the letter "e" at the end of a word generally (and in this case) makes the first vowel in the word sound the way it sounds in the alphabet.
