Nice to see Rybakina participating in this. Whenever I watch this kind of WTA videos, I always find myself wondering why Rybakina is seldomly in it. More Rybakina please 😊
That German physio clearly helped. :) Easy win for Rybakina.
Rybakina’s german is quite well. Best of all the rest.
You simply love Rybakina but it's OK. None of them got any right but some did worse.
@@trommelbiel You don't need to be a Rybakina fan to acknowledge that she was the best one. Her pronunciation of Linsengericht or Mückenloch was quite OK, whereas these words were basically butchered by Gauff, Pegula or Osaka.
@@trommelbiel Liking Rybakina and her being good a German compare to the others don't have to be mutually exclusive.
She was ok but she blew Katzenelnbogen badly. The Russian in her came out when she said that. I guess it was the length of the word. 😅
You clearly don't understand German or Deutsch as they would call it.
I’m just here for Rybakina content. 💁🏼♂️
"Do these letters even go together?" Lol 😂
ons is hilarious 😂
Haha love it. Rybakina wins 😊 but that was so much fun to watch
Rybakina's German is the best of the lot.
Elena is sooooo good!!!!
No surprise that the Eastern Europeans were better at this challenge 😂😂
HHHHHH 🤣😂Ons is the best😍.she did well. Love you Ons .You aree my idol🥰😍🤩😘
The check sound just goes for everybody hahaha Berlin like Aryna, Ons and Elena has said is correct. The others are saying it like in English: Börlin. And with Frankfurt only Elena and Aryna did it more correctly 😂 The check sound is kinder than I am 😅
That was funny☺Elena always the most sweetest girl! 🙈🖤Success in this tournament, golden girl!🙌💚
Berlin - capital city and largest city of Germany
Frankfurt - fifth-most populous city of Germany, financial center and home to the European Central Bank
So far, so good. Then they're going for the deep cuts:
Linsengericht - small municipality, population of
Does Katzenelnbogen have anything to do with cats (Katzen)?
@@dctrbrass Those names of the smaller towns all mean something, it's rather amusing for a German.
Linsengericht = lentil dish
Kuhbier = cow beer
Mückenloch = mosquito hole
Katzenelnbogen = cats elbow
I didn't know any of those districts/cities existed before doing a bit of research, but they're legit.
I didn't expect that, but the pronunciation were very good from all the ladies. Respekt.
You"re kidding. They all (save for Elena R. as mentioned) were unable to pronounce one syllable correctly. As one who speaks German.
@@charvaka9526 Das stimmt nun echt nicht. In wie vielen Sprachen ist deine Aussprache genau richtig? Wenn du nicht zweisprachig aufgewachsen ist, dann wahrscheiner in keiner. Und wie geht es dir in Sprachen die du nie gelernt hast? Gut waren sie nicht, aber "keine einzige Silbe" ist übertrieben.
@@zweigackroyd7301 Nach 20 Jahre wohnen in Deutschland kann ich eine gewisse Fähigkeit behaupten.
@@charvaka9526 Du kannst alles behaupten. Das hat leider mit der Realität absolut nichts zu tun. Und die Formulierung der "Behauptung",... na ja, etwas mehr Arbeit an der Sprache könnte nicht schaden
@@zweigackroyd7301 Realität ist relative. Ich bin zweisprachig aufgewachsen.
Rybakina the best by a long shot!
English native speakers struggle speaking German 😅. To speak German you need tough jaw muscles unlike English which is so soft. Fact is anybody that speaks any other languages apart from English easily masters German faster.
I agree. I had a lot of German in college and practice my Deutsch most days but I still struggle some.
Nah, it depends on the person. I speak German fluently with hardly an accent. I’m American but have German on my mom’s side, although I wasn’t taught it growing up. First I learned Spanish in junior high and high schools, then I took German intensively in college and spent summers in there (motivated by having a German girlfriend). Being immersed in it I picked it up very quickly.
In uni I read Goethe, Mann, Kafka, Hesse. Mastering “literary” German is quite tough of course, and I have forgotten a lot of advanced grammar and so on. Use it or lose it. But conversational German has always come quite naturally to me. I’m not sure why, except that I think I have a good ear for hearing sounds and reproducing them.
I’m learning Russian now and although the grammar is daunting, the pronunciation is actually very regular and the standard accent is easy to reproduce. I think what many students of languages are not taught well enough or forget to do is *listen* - listen, listen, listen all the time to native speakers. Start speaking with them and put down the books.
Book learning can be important, but isn’t strictly necessary just to become conversant. And you’ll be able to pronounce any place names for sure! English (especially UK place names) can be one of the biggest challenges, as they’re often pronounced non-phonetically and sometimes you just have to ask someone who knows! /long rambling comment…got carried away 😊
Rybakina🐠🥰🥰🥰🤍🌷
It is great to see the Tennis stars off of the court and being funny. Ons is always trying something great. She did a fabulous in Paris.
What did she do?
Ons is always very fun😂😂😂
Rybakina nailed it !
Rybakina ❤❤❤
Naomi ❤
Rybakina did best, 2nd was Sabalenka. The others sounded way too English ;p
Elena so beautiful 😍
These dings are very generous
Rybakina always gives the “Get me out of,here vibe”
Ons is always the best ❤
funny😅 but those words are not even real german. I mean they are but they are very special
Good but some German player should say it correct way so we know
there are no true german players
They are really cute. ❤
Go, Elena, go go!

Love love this content!!! Amazing 🤩
Good try ladies 😂
That last name hurt my brain just looking at it. Goodness! I think one of the main issues is translating other languages into English.
0:57 Lol. Apparently Osaka thought if she said it with her arm it will sound better. Hilarious.
Wow, Rybakina must have learned German at some point. Her pronunciation is very good!
She pronounces it like she would in Russian but she also knows how to read ch, ie, ü etc it seems. All the English speaking girls were pronouncing the words with English pronunciation. Buuurlin
Great idea, need more!
That's not even how Germans pronounce Berlin!
Ons 😂😂😂❤️❤️
Try it with French, it's even more absurd. Then go with Wales.
Ons you are the best ❤
Rybakina ❤️❤️❤️
We love all tennis stars, you do great job, please stay safe and strong 🙏🍀. Elena, alğa, Kazakhstan supports you 🇰🇿❤️🫶🤲
Fun group for this.
That last one is a real tongue twister. The “eln” in the middle feels very unnatural to me
💞🦾🤩 COCO WILL ALWAY BE MY TOP FAVORITE PLAYER
Als Kasachin 🇰🇿, die Deutsch spricht, finde ich dieses Wettbewerb sehr lustig und positiv. Herzliche Grüße an Berlin, Dresden, am Fuchsloch, Waldheim, Frankfurt, Seeheim ❤🫶
🐠🫶🇰🇿
Ohh it‘s so frustrating that they didnt even correct them and didnt even tell them how to propely pronounce Berlin or Frankfurt😂
Listen-shirt
Ons Jabeur, birçok yabancı dili anadili gibi konuşuyor. Fransızca, Arapça, Berberice, İngilizce; Ons Jabeur'da gördüğüm diller.
Rybakina almost fluent in German (compared to the rest) 😂
Ons killed me 😂😂😂😂
Elena won this challenge, Aryna would be better if Ons didn't distract her. Naomi and Ons were OK. Coco and Jessica were just bad at this.
Iga likes WTA challenges, so it's a pity she's not there. I wonder how good she would be at this. She would probably give a serious try at this.😉
Rybakina is very smart. Her German is good. But their languages are varied,Arabic,Russian,Japanese and Slavic.🎾🕊🎾
Can WTA and LTA please bring back that video of 2014 Birmingham where players tried out British accent eg GARDEN PARTIES, AFTERNOON TEA AND CAKE etc?
Not bad girls🤣🤣🤣❤️
Wow! Lena definitely has the best pronunciation😊
What's your name? "Gorlomi"
Not one cities pronounced right by none.
Rybakina is so cute.
Me encanta aryna 😅😅
Какие то они все мужиковатые)) Даже голоса. Кроме Рыбакиной. Девочка бедная затесалась среди мужиков)
@onsjabeur the besttt❤❤❤❤
The Americans are really horrible at this. I’m surprised as German is the most common ethnicity in the US. I can read and speak German, and it looks so easy - just pronounce each syllable, like any other language. But some of them don’t even seem to know that -loch in German is very close to loch in Scotland. At least they’re all very good at tennis! 😅
Most ethnic groups of people in the US lose their ethnic language after one generation, certainly by the 2nd generation born here. In general there's little, if any, use for those languages here, especially German, plus the vast majority of Americans don't even have passports, and legal immigrants often know some English when they get here.
I enjoyed learning a little German when I lived there, but Italian is much more useful in the US in the long run, plus it sounds so beautiful!
Spanish is our second language by default because of illegal immigration from countries close to us, but many of them lose their language after 1-2 generations, too.
Sehr gut gemacht von den Mädels, very well done indeed by the ladies!
which clown chose these words?
Rybakina was good, everyone else... horror😂
But they showed words that even Germans rarely say
Lovely to see the girls having fun for a change 😊
Berlin pronunciation wasn't correct actually.
Coco didnt even try 😭😭
it lacks correct pronunciation examples before/after ladies try to speak these words
Völliger Unsinn, diese Wörter gibt es nicht in Deutschland!👎
Saba has won here again
hahahha
ons is great ❤
Sabalenka looks like Germans.
They should have shown the scores at the end of the video. I think Ons did the best.
Мюкенлох
Strange selection. ‘Mückenloch’ is not a word. ‘Katzenelnbogen’ neither.
They are place names. Maybe you should practice your English, this was said at the beginning, Streber ;)
Ok. They really dug deep for this one ;-)
Ons Jabeur just has the best personality
Cori go back to school😮😮😮
Ons you will have less German fans because you did poorly but there are many Tunisians living in Germany so you should be fine.
55% of all Tunisian diaspora live in France, only 6,6% live in Germany. That's almost a million in France to around 100 thousands in Germany. Tunisians are extremely versatile and able to integrate anywhere unlike most other nationalities where you always hear trouble.
We won't forsake the land we came from,
We won't let our speech be buried.
We are the Polish nation, the Polish kin,
From the royal line of Piast.
We won't let the enemy oppress us.
So help us God!
So help us God!
To the last blood drop in our veins
We will defend our Spirit
Till into dust and ash shall fall,
the Teutonic windstorm.
Every doorsill shall be a fortress.
So help us God!
So help us God!
The German won't spit in our face,
Nor Germanise our children,
Our host will arise in arms,
The Spirit will lead the way.
We will arise when the golden horn sounds.
So help us God!
So help us God!
We won't have Poland's name defamed,
We won't step alive into a grave.
In Poland's name, in her honor
We lift our foreheads proudly,
The grandson will regain his forefathers' land
So help us God!
So help us God!
Let me ask is Poland enemy to Germany? They way in this comment shows it.
Rybakina is the smartest, the 'Mother' the dumbest.
Thinking that someone is "dumb" for failing to pronounce words of a foreign language they aren't familiar with, is true stupidity. This is coming from someone who lived in Germany, speaks German, but have a great unfamiliarity with other foreign languages. Go touch grass.
Who's the Mother????
@@sueannwashere Ich bin nicht überrascht. Man kann von sozialistischen Weinkindern nicht mehr erwarten. Da fehlt einfach das Gehirn.
Aryna and ons just always be overacting and fake giggling..like calm down and be real for once
why so salty 😂😂
They’re all so scary, it’s terrible😱
They're playing games. Świątek wins trophies.
Just do the Hitler voice
NEIN
