Oh my god I can't watch this it's too horrible. Don't get me wrong. You do it perfectly. But that's why. I'm french and speak english currently with no french accent but when french people start speaking english with french accent I just want to choke them to death.

So I guess you can translate that to:

Nice work! :D

I'm french, and your "r" sounds like the german's "r" and not the french's ! But you do it very well, i have friends who speak english like that... That's irritating, but funny... ! ;)
