How To Have A German Accent

[JhullyAmilly]

Zhis is so funny xD

[misterkevinoh]

This is hilarious.

[TheKaniq94]

im also german and i absolutly disagree with this o.e

[Colunave]

somehow reminds me of das beer boot!

[197syahnur]

nein

[MrBree94]

WHAT?? im from germany and i dont have so an accent! im speaking english like an american or english!

[Redwanbeatz]

@MrBree94 atleasts thats what u think bro xD unser akzent is nun mal scheiße xD

[MrBree94]

@Redwanbeatz ich speche aber nicht das th wie s aus !! ich kann englisch!

[oXbOxr00X]

sooo lucky that we in germany learn sign language and got it where we need to place the tongue while speaking English... only old Germans have an accent...

[OrangeJews1138]

Ve vill ask ze questions.

[AlexEttelis]

this doesnt sound right at all :\

[xGhostxize]

i wants to sound like dr richtofen

[benrocky99]

I can't even watch these lol

[97nerfReveiwer]

ohh thats how it is ive been saying it zha same way its so easy

[gurkenhamster]

"v" and "w" are differnt. "V" is like the english "F" and "W" like V". The rest of the accent is kind of right, but we don't speak through our nose. We speak like norma people just with an accent. It is okay to be okay, but not every german speaks like a gay persons

[RandomHouseOfMute]

This is false, I'm German

[97nerfReveiwer]

@RandomHouseOfMute

[RandomHouseOfMute]

@97nerfReveiwer And what's your comment?

[rockkong1]

@RandomHouseOfMute I know right

[Naddjii]

Well... I am German and I do not sound like that!!! He really took it to the extreme... Never heard it quite like that :D

[x3LuxX]

Der nervt....

[guitarstarMW]

what are those big beds for???

[icete93]

german accent good or not guys?

[KILLY2A0121]

@DASKrossong Hitler was austrian

[boarding5401]

Listening to Rammstein also helps

[julewful]

my english teacher talks exactly like him.

i want to kill him everytime.

[MissLadidah]

I am from Germany and that's right, Germans talk like this english... but just the ones who don't want to learn english or the ones who never learned english right! :D

But nowadays everyone get at least 10 years english lessons...

[DASKrossong]

That pronunciation is just wrong. People born in the 50s speak like that. The rest of us know how to pronounce the 'th' correctly. And btw "GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!" came from an austrian guy :-P

[alittlebithope]

i'm from germany, and i don't have this accent ( i asked my teacher, who is from england), but i know a lot who speak like he said. :D

[edmundstoiberderdepp]

If you try to talk like that in Germany you will get beaten up.

[Ocelot0070]

I am german and the only people who have this kind of accent are the ones who REALLY suck at speaking english. I'm talking about beginners or people who absolutely don't care about doing it correctly. When you talk like this in schools english lessions it counts as doing it wrong.

[MrFreeCookie]

@Ocelot0070 If you're German then how do you know what Germans sound like to English speakers? Although he is exaggerating a little in this video, what he says sounds pretty accurate too me. Even Germans who have been speaking English for many years or decades tend to have these characteristics in their voice.

[ooOZER0oo]

@Ocelot0070 agree :)

[Fruchshake]

You would be a great driver at Deutsche Bahn :D

"Thank you for traveling with Deutsche Bahn" xD

[NiesNiesMeow]

Do we speak sooo bad English? o-o

[Berlin2Best]

how about some tips on NOT having a german accent?? xD

[foiafrey]

I this real? To replace the th with S is not really suitable (i hope it is the right word).

One of the first things we learn is the TH. Maybe we had good teachers but at my school? ;-)

That thing with the s at the end of words yes this typical of course. When my girlfriends teaches me some polish words she often says "don't say the word so hard" now I really know what she means. Thanks ;-)

[dorvaci]

but you really dont have to sound like a gay guy if you want to do a german accent...(even though the most of what he said is right)

cheers from germany

[ezwetta]

Im from germany..

[LiviHolly]

Mine sounds russian ... Any ways to help improve ??? x

[1119gibsonsg]

you really exaggerate.

[DaLong88]

He got that absolutely right! Especially the "th" thing! A lot of Germans (mostly older people) speak that way, since there wasn't that much recording material for learning when they started learning English. But I've got the impression that nowadays students of the English language are better at pronounciation.

[ajcblanco]

landan

[racheaaaaaal]

Woah those blinds made my eyes go funny.

[QuartusSaul]

I originally tweeted that to my mate Zedd cause of 1:01 for sampling :)

[SandDerRote]

Yep, damn right! lol

[FuckingFucki]

he's fucking totally right with the accent :D

[RunescapeKoOfTheDay]

Zedd got busted

[bighugejake]

Lot of German's will say "dis" or "dat" for "this" and "that."

[NekroZack]

And he can't stop looking up or left...

[321armageddon]

[0percentSWAG]

[DollyStreep]

Thanks for posting that (: <3

[narutoxfunny10]

Well, yeah, German accent DOES sound gay xD I'm German too and I speak uhm English well but I DO know people speaking like that and it's funny as hell.

[FrauNara]

omg, why would ANYONE WANT to talk like that? I am German and it gives me the creeps when I hear that. Especially the th-sound sounds horrible. But german accent in english sounds exactly like he said... sad but true.

[maebeach]

[rockkong1]

@Pauliminator Ich sehe, Teufel...

[rickeyhenderson88]

head is round like a fucking orange

[SallyRandomness]

klingt irgendwie wie italienischer akzent... :D

[Alex50702]

er hat schon recht, das is EIGENTLICH der deutsche akzent ^^ Nur heut zu tage haben die meisten deutschen nicht mehr so einen starken Akzent und können das TH oder das englische R richtig aussprechen :)

[Zewuot]

German guys are so fucking hot with their tough accents omg. I want to marry a German guy and have lots of German babies.

[candlepeace]

@Zewuot hahahaahhaha you made me really smile

by the way what about indian accent hahahhah they are hilarious

[OlaNaTungee6]

compared to English, we Germans really hiss and cark a lot more but we're definitely not more serious or correct with out language than other nations XD

[DjStormyPhones]

Umm...I'm German and I don't speak like that. xD

[enailujeid]

Just so you know...

The first comment says: Thumbs up if you're German and watch this!

and the second is an announcement in German trains. Actually it is : "Thank you for travelling with Deutsche Bahn."

It's just spellt like the way it's pronounced when you say it with a strong German accent. :D

[babyface1710]

that awkward moment when you dont understand the top comments

[obiwan80]

@babyface1710 Ja, das ist toll! :-D

[ColourToYourWorld]

@babyface1710 thats why we have google translate :D

[QcMarcAndre]

i thumb up'd the two top comments even though i don't understand :(

[hey41781]

Hetalia!!

[DasLebenIstWild]

ernsthaft, so redet nur die generation über mir englisch :D meine mum redet so^^

[aart830]

i wish i could read the top comments :(

[MyTilted]

@aart830 i did german for 4 years i only understand Deutsche, und and ihr <.<

[uoa9]

wrong ..

[321123moi]

Sooo funny I am actually frm Germany and ... yeah you did it quiet nicely

[Zoroark2009]

That sounds a bit gay xD

I am german, but only my friends talk like that.

[DerPafferfish]

Nope, you still sound very british. Listen to actual German and try to get a feeling for the way letters are pronounced and then try to speak english exactly that way.

You speak way to unclear and still have that swollen posh sound that just doesn't exist in any German accent.

You sound more like an Austrian from Vienna that feels exceptionally fabulous today.

[Fero631]

no offence, but when you do that German accent of yours you sound a bit gay. esp because your vowels still sound very british. did you know that there are a lot of ppl (esp young folks) in germany that consider stereotypical british accents to sound gay? that´s to do with the pronunciation of the vowels.

[minciNashu]

This isnt supposed to be genuine german accent.. cuz there isnt such thing, its meant for acting, you know, ppl pretending to be german while speaking english, thats how the public is supposed to figure out that. See it in movies all the time.

Germans trying to speak english properly have stronger T's and R's than usual.

[1t2t3t4t5t6t7]

that´s actually more useful for me as an english-speaking german than for you english folks, because he poits out common mistakes :P

[1alternativesound]

er spricht wie ein waschechter schwuler deutscher . gar nicht so schelcht . wi is se wois like wein :D

[eefjeestelle]

this isn't good because i'm dutch but i know german people and they don't speak english like that! i would like to see how he would do a dutch accent x'd

[tschaikowski]

not convinced by this, there are far better examples to use to imitate german sounding english.

[murad848]

fuck your accent and your language!!!!! I fuck all germans in the workd! ALLAH NEVER FORGIVE you what you did with people during WW2

[FBO1104]

Sounds like a elementary-schoolkid

Guido Westerwelle sounds like that xD

[LeaAndDaisy]

haha just the very dumb germans talk like this bro .

[krillin876]

this is the worst german accent ever

[MayChild8]

Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein 

[BattleGhul]

I'm German and my accent is very different from this.

[Shadowfussel]

well...I'm german, and someone from America told me, that I sound a bit british. I REALLY hope that I dont sound like this video...but he actually is right...there are people here who talk like that^^

[Sophalmopsal]

I'm german and i dont speak english like that ;)

[Talulah1998]

hm...I m German - we had British English and American English phonetics lessons in school. The Germans I observe speaking English never have that strong an accent as shown here...

[WWF4everRocks]

No mentions of Austria? I am truly disappointed, sir! In diesem Sinne: auf Wiedersehen!

[TidalSnow1]

Not to be stereotype

But Germans=genius :)

[ItsTheRealHoudini]

@TidalSnow1 I'm not german...and I agree

[Gergana2870]

sehr komisch :D

[TheSnakeMate]

i have a perfect, naturally given german accent... YOU CAN LEARN FROM ME thehehe!!!

[IuberPyros]

voops! zhis vas not medizhin!

[Neyceybell]

im german and I DONT TALK LIKE THAT !

[kruegi191]

hahaha im german too, but this sounds so retarded lol..

[hesekaia82528]

sank you so much for zis !

[Szayel21]

der gute!

[KaizokuRulezz]

der klingt stockschwul xd

aber is gut :D

[MrLimettes]

This does not sound remotely close to the actual English German accent. I'm sorry but it is really badly done and over exaggerated.

[P090p0k3]

sänk juh for träwelling wiss se deutsche bahn!

[everdarkable]

si zink smy german aczzent is ze bezzzzzzztttsszzz...fuck zi got zpit on my zcreen

[TheFalloutBunny]

oooh boy O_O It really isnt that bad! I assure you that only elderly people and maybe some guys from saxonia speak like that ... nowerdays even the kids at school learn to speak properly and the internet, movies and stuff teach the people indirectly how it works...

but actually I know some people who do have problems with pronouncing TH O.o

[s1nn20s]

You can't compare the accents from Giudo Westerwelle or Lothar Matthäus with whole germany.. Ich für meinen Teil denke, dass meine Aussprache garnicht mal soooo schlecht ist. Obwohl ich ihn gerne mal Deutsch sprechen hören würde!! Keinen deut besser.. ;)

[TheFalloutBunny]

@s1nn20s *g* ja das denk ich auch ... vor allem, weil ich durch mein studium ständig fachsprache gebrauche, englische bücher lese und filme/serien auf englisch guck... nene so übel sprechen die leute hier allgemein nicht!

ich musst grad an einen amerikanischen kumpel denken der gern deutsch lernen würd, es aber viel zu schwer findet ^^ deswegen stört er sich auch kein bisschen daran wenn man mal auf englisch was falsch sagt *g* "you think your english is crab? did you ever hear my german?" XD

[s1nn20s]

@TheFalloutBunny Vollkommen richtig! Und selbst wenn: ich muss keine anderen sprachen fehlerfrei sprechen! ist schließlich nicht meine muttersprache.. und den rest sollte man mit humor sehen! :)

[Dimpflbruder]

what a crap

[AmyLeeEvan94]

I speak both langs. fluently and this man is talking bullshit. i´d be embarassed if i´d talk that way.

[ottacracker]

youre making me angry. thats so stereotypical. nearly no germans (or austrians, in my case) speak like that. you probably also think that our diet is only sauerkraut or whatever. its the 21st century, move on you fuck

[s1nn20s]

@ottacracker "sauerkraut or whatever" passendes Beispiel! ;)

[JohnBryantMcAwesome]

Stop selling this as a German accent. It's a gay (happy?) accent. We Germans can speak better English "than" this.

Seriously?

You really made a point there JheakryanKyAlur.

[Rareheroe]

@JohnBryantMcAwesome The video is about the German accent and made for people who need that accent or who try to learn proper German accentuation while learning German. It doesn't say that the Germans are usually speaking English like this.

[JheakrynaKyAlur]

omg, stop selling this as a german accent.

it's a gay accent.

we germans can speak better english then that.

srsly

[schatz2395]

sorry, but i do not have any idea who told you germans pronounce english words like you did in your video.i think germans try to pronounce english vocab in the right way.me, for instance. i would never ever pronounce th like s. that sounds weird... apart from this: wich native english speaker want to have a german accent in the beautiful english language? i just can speak for myself: i am doing my very best pronouncing the words correctly. (:

[SuperMialow]

2:20......thats a really good german accent

[pixartist]

Germans do NOT sound that gay

[SchwarzerMannn]

not a bad accent...a lot of germans confuse the W and V but not all...instead of pronouncing the v in "very" a lot of people pronounce it as an english W (wery) the W is sometimes pronounced as a V also but usually germans pronounce it well. if he was german and i had to guess where in germany he was from...i would definitely think hes from COLOGNE ;-D

[MrSeniorDon]

Daumen hoch wenn ihr Deutsche seid und das anschaut haha <D

[marlene176]

@MrSeniorDon Fast, ich bin Österreicher ^_^

[lOcAmEnTeIBIZA]

That's so silly.. of course some germans can't pronounce the "th" but most of them can :-D ... This is so funny... I mean u will never stop to search for reasons you can joke about germans..

[TheBlackPancake]

God, he sounds so gay. But that's actually kinda cute. ;D

[BrownieWithCaramel]

Nope. I don't talk like that.

[Gornn]

wii arr nawt tawking like zat!!!!

[MegaSheaman]

dont talk just stare and you should be fine

[MrAwesome7111]

I'm german and lot of that is right but it dont sounds so extreme o:

[HWOMJAW]

my german english is the best!!

cause i am from germany!

[TheMrbaummann]

Well,the most Germans pronounce the "th" as "s" or "z".But not because there is no "th" sound in the German language.The most of us do it so because it's too difficult for the most.

[DerTeke]

This is so ridiculous. Like their is one specific german accent. Saxons speak another german and another accent then people from bavaria. And seriously... This german accent is such a stereotype. My english for example is pretty decent.

[kelloxxfilm]

i am german too and i've never heard someone speakin like this, sorry but he really overacts..
