Tom - "Withouth many closes" Bill - "Without many clothes" XD Bill is so happy that he managed to correct his brother, he even did a little head movement to prove it...lol
English is my first language but I know how hard it is, especially from German to English. I have a lot of foreign friends who still have accents and maybe miss a couple words. I think it's cute ❤
That happens to me with Spanish lol I am Italian American (born and raised and a citizen in jersey) but because I am not a latina sometimes I have trouble pronouncing certain Spanish words but they always know what I mean
lmao this is so cute best part is 1:27-1:28 where Tom says he looks beautiful in anything and Bill looks at the camera like he wants to say something but doesn't
Did you notice when he was trying to say position at 1:42 that Bill was mouthing the word too, like he was trying to help him sound it out? It's so cute
I hope you know half of that was their accent not the word. Like funny and London, they just say it differently like someone from the north would say crik or yous and southerners would say y'all or creek. It's just regional.
Unless your German is better than his English, I'd cut the guy some slack. To a German, "clothes" is a tricky word to say if you have seen it written down but haven't heard it. If you wanted to write it phonetically using German (or pre-Norman English) rules of spelling and pronunciation, it would be more like "cloeths" (ignoring the fact that the "t" and the "h" together make a sound which doesn't occur in German at all). Moving the "e" to after the consonant was trendy in Dr Johnson's day and has become entrenched in modern English, even though it makes no logical sense. In German, if a word has a consonant followed by an "e", you pronounce both the consonant and then the "e", in the order they're written (e.g. "pflaume"). If you want to use an "e" to change the way another vowel is pronounced, you would put the "e" immediately after the relevant vowel (although by convention, in this case the "e" is usually omitted and an umlaut is placed over the vowel instead (e.g. hoeren becomes hören)).
It's not until watching older videos back that I've realised how much they've developed over the past decade - it must have been so difficult at first not being able to access the main language being spoken, yet now you'd never know any difference in their recent interviews!
I kinda noticed the first time I watched the interview that he said "he DON'T want to be funny" and I was like, wtf, man it's doesn't x) but whatever, I love this video, I love Tom with his sexy accent and his "Tomglesh" ahaha xD
OMG I speak like idiot too. xD I hope I´ll get better, because I don´t want to look like this. But it´s cute on Tom. He´s like "I´m the best" , but his English just make it sounds ridiculous when you listen to his errors .
Do you ever plan on making one about Bill? Because I haven't heard any 'willage' or 'wampire' in here, and those are his best really. ;) But I love everything that's in here. Although I feel I have to stand up for them, not being a native speaker myself: Sometimes you REALLY want to say something in a certain way, you know how it SHOULD come out... and yet somehow it just doesn't. ;) Like your mouth just won't produce the sound you want to make... But very funny video nonetheless. :)
Well, I think English it's a little bit hard for a German, or at least for them cx but it's soooooooo FANNY (I know it's "funny" but I just wanted to be popular) "I can wear everything I look beautiful anyway" *awkward silence* "Without any closes" And more, ohhhhhhhhhh God, our idols are not normal cx
English is easier than german... I am of Costa Rica, I speaks spanish... In my college one of the principal lenguages are the english so I think that the englis is easier than german because I think that the pronunciation of german is harder... I don't know, its my opinion...
Well, I didn't say German was easier, I just said that English was a little bit hard for a German person, but meh! You know, I'm from Mexico (my state is near to the US, so it's almost an obligation to speak English) and the language it's very easy for me, actually I'm studying to be a translator (that's why I love all kind of languages) but it doesn't matter Btw, I respect what you say
Meh! No importa, eso mismo hago con un amigo de Chile (estamos en un foro, él escribe algo en inglés, yo le comento igual y al final me contesta en español, FTW?) Como sea, igualmente linda c:
English is hard for anyone who isn't english. Have you seen how fucked up our language is? The language rules don't even apply to every word and we use weird punctuation. Most of the english language is completely new to foreigners, so they're actually doing really well, like REALLY well
I love Tom's english... he has such a cute accent... like Bill used to have, but Bill doesnt have it anymore, I think. and also the best english speaker in TH is Gustav, not Georg
HE DID SAY "BACK VOCALS" AND "CLUMSY." It's just his ACCENT that makes it sound like he made a mistake. of course it is absolutely ADORABLE, but I do want to point out that you are confusing his accent with outright mistakes. He does make quite a few grammar mistakes, but so what?
