A German Interview

I talk to my foreign exchange student (Markus) that is from Germany.
Once you get to know him he is awesome and I consider him a brother.
We talk about the differences between the U.S.A. and Germany including the subjects of Cars, Public transport, School, and other things.

Song: The District Sleeps Alone
Band: The Postal Service

@colt553 Ok

[colt553]

As I said, it's clear he's NOT stupid. But people who communicate at a high level and command respect don't speak that way. Can you imagine anyone who wants to be taken seriously -- doctors, lawyers or political leaders using that style? Well, maybe Sarah Palin, but even she mostly avoids it. I'm not trying to be picky - it's just that it sends a message to people (correct or not) about your level of intelligence. The more you use it, the more you sound like an airhead.

@colt553 Well, I'm a linguist and I've spent a lot of time studying other languages. What I've learned is that language is constantly evolving. English speakers aren't the only people who use filler words such as "like" when speaking. For example, there are Spanish speakers from Argentina who use "che" in the same way that English speakers use "like". It doesn't make the speaker stupid. Think of it like a dialect.

[colt553]

@Onegative82 His use of "like" is way past the point of being annoying. He's picked this up from stupid English speakers, not "typical" English speakers. Too bad because he's clearly not stupid. His English is otherwise excellent.

[Onegative82]

He says "like" and "and stuff" a lot, just like a typical English speaker. Very good.

Her hat sehr gut Englisch gesprochen.

[brockpierce1984]

Nice english and barely a german accent. I still have quite a hard german accent.

Subway in Germany its stingy, compared to the US one, where you can choose all sort of toppings for no extra charge. But in Germany, every extra topping cost extra and is counted to the tiniest bit.

German Schools is the primary school ( 1 - 4 ) than comes elementary school ( 5-10 ) and than you can choose College and other education.

From which city does Markus come from in Germany. Def not Bavaria / Austria?!
