One of the numerous claims in the video that won't stand closer scrutiny. Practically all the unstressed vowels in German are candidates for centralisation/reduction ("weakening"), but the unstressed vowels definitely are, even in standard varieties and in careful enunciation. There is elision, as there is in English. Think of how the word 'bauen' is pronounced, or 'Sachen'. Word-final, post-vocalic 's never see the light of day: 'Vater', 'weiter', 'Lehrer'. A.s.o.
@José Hoppenstedt Well, how aobut consulting the Duden (or any other recognized authority)? Or do you have something other than your intuition to base your comment on? The misinterpretation of German spelling (by native speakers and, most unfortunately, by teachers) is one of the most detrimental factors in the learning/acquisition/teaching of pronunciation. Do you read your alias as /ho-pen-stet/? No?Why not?
My dad on a ferry in the U.S: D: How much is it? Man: Three dollars. D: Three? OK. (Pronounced 'Free') Man: No, three. D: Yes. Free. (gives money) And the man laughs. I laughed almost the whole trip.
I was in Germany and I tried to order a steak. Well, I thought let's speak the German way and I used the 's' that is in front of words with consonant as the second letter. For example spielen and Stadt. I really had no idea how to pronounce it as it is a foreign word in German. The guys were laughing at me and were like "so you want a sshhhhteak?" XDD
+henkkaiz3 I'm not surprised they were having a ball with your attempts German pronounciation, seeing as how "Steak" with a soft German S-sound is pretty much bang-on the proper German pronounciation of the word "Steg" which has a variety of meanings, the most common being jetty/gangway/boardwalk - so you were basically asking the waiter to provide you with a landig place for your boat! :) Big kudos to you for actually making an effort not only to speak German in Germany, but actually get it right as well. I know quite well how most Germans are overeager to accomodate any native speaker by showing off their English skills.
+Alex Rider Vllt weil dich Sprachunterschiede interessieren? Ich mach gerade genau das Thema an der Uni und wollte sehen wie nah sie an das rankommt was dort gelehrt wird, deshalb hab ich es gesehen.
Also ich weiß ja nicht... Anscheinen spricht sie nur für den Norden oder die Hochdeutschen... in sehr vielen Dialekten südlich von Frankfurt, ist die Sprache schon sehr weich. Sprooch statt Sprache z.B. und dabei wird das O betont und nicht das CH
British accent is often done by Americans by copying upper class English/1950s and earlier period English.. I say old chap! That's rather good old chap. Jolly good show! If you want to sound regal copy how the Queen says cold which sounds like 'ca-old' and glasses 'gal-arses' lol
Yeah I think your English is pretty darn good. I can definitely hear your accent but it's not overly strong. I'm German but I grew up in California, USA. I don't speak German, always wanted to learn.
Tbh, this is how most young germans sound :) It's mostly the older o es and the ones in rural areas who might ave a much harder more confusing accent. The younger ones have light/mild accents.
HesseJamez Ja, es wird wiss ausgesprochen aber th kann man eigentlich nicht als Buchstaben Kombination schreiben. An sich ist es weder wiss noch wiff. Aber als einzelner Wortlaut, also nur th hört es sich an wie ze oder se mit kurzem und weichen e an und nicht etwa see oder zee.
What an AMAZING video!!! This was so interesting -- watched it all the way to the end and really enjoyed every second of it :) As an American, native-English speaker living here in Germany, I have trouble with the German accent in pretty much the opposite of all the problems you mentioned Germans having with the English accent :D So for example, instead of having trouble making the strong R, I have trouble saying the nice, cute, soft German r. And while it's kind become "a thing" that Germans have trouble saying squirrel, I also have a REALLY hard time saying Eichhörnchen :D What a mouthful that word is! :)
+Wanted Adventure The difference between the "r"s is that our "r" is more guttural. Pronounce in the back of our throats- very Viking like - hahaha while English is very light. The language takes part in the actual mouth. Maybe you realize that your voice might sound deeper when you speak German.
omg^^ that was one of the first things I tought my husband^^ he told me I say squirrel really good (I'm half American though) and so I practiced Eichhörnchen with him 😀
Jeff Nixon well, not really. Its just sometimes in specific words we pronounce it that Way. It's Most common when the D (...) is at the End of the Word. Also, the english T-sound is more like 'Tea' or 'Tee' while the german Sound is 'Tae' or 'Dae' . Thats my english variant of the german e sound ^^.
I'm a native English speaker and I'm attempting to learn German (attempting being loosely used 😅).... Your explanation emphasizing the consonants and end of words is so helpful! My German boyfriend usually laughs at me when I try to read German, but at least I can try an pronounce the words better! Vielen Dank!! 🤗💜
The english language descend from german language of the anglo-saxons. The word "England" hints to that fact pretty well. The term is used for tribes from the very north of germany and the very south of todays denmark. The influences came from the frisians who settled at the coast from the netherlands up to todays danish border. The second was the "Angeln" wich came from the north east of Schleswig-Holstein. Other influences came from danish tribes of the "Jutes". The modern lower German wich is still spoken in the north of Germany in everyday life is still pretty close to the english language. Even the people who don't speak lower german tend to forget about word endings and their accent is much softer than the typical German.The language of the Frisians is also still spoken in the northern parts of germany. Speakers of the lower german language can understand danish and dutch pretty good. English is kind of a mixture of all these languages with some latin influences. you really should listen to it. It's kind of a cute language.
And btw. lower german or "plattdeutsch" is spoken all over the world. There are more than 10.000 speakers in the USA and more than 100.000 speakers in kazachstan
Toni Schumacher Didn't the French also originate from the German tribe Franks? Leaving aside the Slavs in eastern Europe, "German" ethnicity pretty much dominates Europe.
@@welljust_me1467 Same here, but i'm russian ))) Trying to make my german character sound a little like german ) But i dont really get it, it still sound like russian accent with less Rs...
I'm half English, half German (though English is my first language and I've always lived in London). I found myself recognizing everything you say when my German relatives try to speak to me in English. With some of my relatives, their German accents are really strong! My mother (who was German) lived in England for decades and though her German accent became weak over time, she never quite lost it! The German accent is very characteristic! You can't mistake it! And in my experience there are very few Germans that can speak English without it being clear that they are German! I often find it's with the simple words that you can tell it's a German speaking English. So for example they will say "hätt" instead of hat. Or "sree" instead of "three"! But to be fair, many English people have problems pronouncing German! My own German pronunciation is reasonably good because my mother started teaching me as a small child. But when I was at school the other pupils often could not pronounce the German "ch" sound, which we don't have in English. And with the English tendency to round off the vowels and soften the consonants (the opposite of what Germans do) their German can sound very strange. So instead of "Brot" they may say something like "Brott" or "Broud"! My main problem is with the German grammar! But that's another story! Loved your video! Really interesting!
Hi. I just found your channel today and enjoy it very much! My wife and I hosted a German high school student for one year about 15 years ago. One day she asked how she can improve her accent. I said to speak German with a bad American accent. Now speak English like that. It worked, and we had a good laugh. I wanted to point out something with your English pronunciation of words that end in "ar" like "similar." You are pronouncing it like the word "are," but it should be pronounced like the "er" in "water." Sim-uh-ler in American English and Sim-uh-luh in British English. In fact, most English words ending in "ar" are pronounced this way: popular, polar, calendar, grammar, scholar, regular, vinegar are all pronounced with the "er" sound. Keep up the good work!
+David Christiansen I just spoke to my computer screen trying to pronounce all the words you mentioned with an "uh" in the end. :D Some day I'll get there. Thanks! :)
+DontTrustTheRabbit By the way, we are still close to our German exchange student and went to her wedding in Germany a few years ago. About a month before we went, I checked out a Pimsleur CD from the library and worked on my German every day on my commute. In Germany, I was understanding about half of what I was hearing but didn't get to practice much. Every time someone heard my American accent, they started speaking English so they could practice theirs!
New Yorkers, Bostonians and Atlantans don't have time for "r". Many speakers of foreign languages worry so much about the rhotic "American r", but many of us don't use it. Maybe as much as 35-40% of Americans speak with a non-rhotic accent. You know that...
Very interesting video! It seems young germans have an english accent very similar to United States, why is that ? Do you watch american TV shows in english (without german subtitles) all the time ?
4:55 my family came from Germany a couple generations back and my last name is "Heibel". I finally understand why it Is said like that. I live in Alabama but don't have the strong southern draw cause I lived in California but people wanna say "high ball"
Gotta admit... I like your accent. Although, I tend to enjoy a lot of accents... British, French, Australian.. Looks like I can add German to my list of accents that I like!
Hi Trixie! I'm an English teacher and I'd like to say your English is great. In fact, the one word that I've heard you mispronounce is also commonly mistaken by native English speakers, that is "pronunciation". NOT proNOUNciation. :) Love your videos!!!
Thalric Yep, it is the #1 most mispronounced word in the English language. It's because people forget that the /o/ is dropped from "pronounce" to "pronunciation". Look it up, if you'd like. There's no dialect where /pronounciation/ is correct.
Indeed, Josh. Pronunciation is mispronounced almost as often as sophomore and picture. That is likely because the root word is pronounce. Hearing the difference can be very difficult. Und jah, Ihr Englisch ist ausgezeichnet.
Ja wir Deutschen Leute haben Elite Humor. (Yes we German people have elite humor.) Ich nicht Deutsch aber ich lernst Deutsch. ( I am not German but I am learning German.) Entschuldigung für irgendwelche Grammatikfehler. ( Excuse me for any grammatical errors)
The only easy way to teach a accent is to type how to say it. I only know Swedish so, tis is hoow you speek wit sweedeesh/sveedeesh ahcksehnt, I tink itt iss verry eesee to do becas I am from Sveedehn.
The problem is: If sb. from another country reads it, they still read it with their accent. In my case I'd read the Swedish accent with a German accent.
I agree even though I suck at French, I have a French dictionary which includes the typed up version of how to pronounce it. I felt like a French God for like 2mins
Why do women love the French accent and language so much? To a lesser extent men like German (of the European languages)? I've seen a couple of your videos that sound like you think German is ugly and French is beautiful. In American high schools, girls are the predominant people in a French class while boys are in it because the girls are. I'm a chemist and think Germans are awesome, Germans (all German speakers) constantly out number the French in scientific papers published, perhaps because their language gets shit done. Even the famous French croissant is Austrian.
Hilarious response, thanks. Some of what you've written makes sense, but it just leads to psychology. Germans as I've said are a wealthier people and smarter, things that should appeal to women more than just speaking "effeminately" or "non-threatening". Maybe it's more of a girl vs women thing, but my best friend who happens to be a woman is trying to learning German with me as we try to learn enough and get a job in Germany because we appreciate Germans prize education and engineering over "love and romance".
Bladey H. Queen Ugh!!! Wrote out a really long reply but computer lost it. Think you misunderstood me talking about my friend, I know she isn't doing it for romance. I have Asperger's so logic to me is instinctual, my fight or flight is predicated on my instincts to fight with logic. I can't understand people who are entirely ruled by emotions nor they me, all being our instincts. Logical instincts may just appear to not be instincts like emotional instincts do because it is generally predicated on facts that are easier to quantify and the cognitive workings of the brain to compile and process data quickly that others can understand, like you and me.
Bladey H. Queen Without the intention of being rude, you answered my question with feelings rather than logic/facts, something common with right brainers. The answer wasn't insightful, the stereotype for women is that they like nice and pleasant things, which you eloquently stated in many more words. The French accent is grafted from Frankish, which most commonly resembles modern Dutch (a Germanic language) and only reinforces the stereotype women don't belong in politics or science, professions that require logic more than feeling. You didn't address Spanish or Italian, both Romance languages derived from Latin, like French. You mentioned nothing about the Court of Love or because Salian Law forbade woman from direct inheritance they were regulated to 2nd class nobility and came up with the rules of manners. I appreciate your responses, but it's nothing more than stating common sense about women carying more about feelings than logic, something every man knows.
Pretty cool. Ich kann nicht gut englisch sprechen/schreiben. Verstehen macht mir kein problem, jedoch fehlen mir oft viele worte und ich kann mich nicht richtig ausdrücken. Ich schaue dich sehr gerne und bin erstaunt über die unglaublich guten videos. Du wurdest mir auf youtube empfohlen. Zuerst war ich (wegen deiner relativ kleinen youtube größe) am zweifeln, musste jedoch feststellen dass deine videos deutlich besser sind als die von "erfolgreicheren" TH-camrn. Ich hoffe du hast mich verstanden xD. Entschuldige dass ich es noch nicht auf englisch schreiben konnte, ich gehe erst in die 7. Klasse
I lived in Germany 🇩🇪 for over 3 1/2 years and loved it. I could speak enough to get around and shop, order food etc. our first son was born in Nuremberg (I was in the military of course). Anyhow, I totally enjoy your vids and keep up the good work!!
The TH one amuses me because i studied old german and the formation of the english language. The TH is originally old german that was preserved in the british isles and the scandinavian world, however, most people on european continent lacked the ability to pronounce the TH aside from the greeks until later on. This caused a consonant shift in the german language due to continental trade and immigration, and what was once unique to them got lost in time. The story is similar with the W, but english brought the german W to the front of the mount instead of the back while the german language transformed it into a special V. Thus, the English and german Vs, though having a similar sound, are produced differently because of this. I'd probably have to make a video about this to explain it. It amused me further when you brought up that germans typically replace it with an S, where as all the TH's in old german were replaced by D's in high german such as "The" turning into Die (old english had the same vowel pronounciation until the normans conquered.) other examples are Thing>Dinge, Think>Denke, That>Das, Though>Doch, Thought>Dacht. so its interesting to see them pronounce it with an S instead of a D. Even our kids pronounce the sound with a D until they learn how to make the TH sound. Its even more odd that a german can easily transform denken into a redneckish thinkin' by only dropping their tongue alittle bit instead of going at it in the S route. Other changes are -lich>ly, -cht>-ight (Licht>Light, Recht>Right, Nacht>Night, Furcht>Fright, Brought>gebracht), -dge>cke (Bridge>Brücke, Hedge>Hecke, Ridge>Rücken) for gh, ght and dge english lost its hardness to the french while german gained hardness.
+Aidan Hodge Talks best comment seen in a long time on the entire TH-cam! I am also learning German with the help of English as a native Chinese speaker. I do realize all the accents the Germans have when they are speaking English. But also i see so much in common between English and German, and the transformations of prefix and endings. Comparing to my mother language, it's much of a help to learn German with English. :)
+Vincent G (VikingSail) Somebody told me, english is a "degenerated" saxonian dialect...maybe the reason why german people have mostly no problems to learn english (besides the german accent) and are pleased with the much lesser complexity...could this be?
Mike Romney i would definitely say about the grammar in English is so much easier than in German. that's why most Germans have no problem in understanding the English language. even though i've met some of them struggling in correct spelling or making up a whole sentence.
+Vincent G (VikingSail) English's Latin (SVO) word order makes a lot of things easier. I'm pretty sure v2 word order of Germanic Languages makes, many people strugle hard.
Moin aus Deutschland ;) ich weiß nicht, ob es schon jemand angesprochen hat, deswegen versuche ich es einmal: Ich studiere Deutsch und dies beinhaltet Sprachwissenschaften und Ältere deutsche Literatur ( worin man zu Anfang einen Einsteigerkurs in Mittelhochdeutsch bekommt) Und ich kann dir die Antwort geben, weswegen wir im Deutschen ein 't' sprechen, obwohl ein d am Ende eines Wortes steht. Dies nennt man eine Auslautverhärtung. Man geht davon aus, dass das gesprochene Wort vor dem geschriebenen stand. Um einen Unterschied zwischen verschiedenen Wörtern (die nicht dem selben Stammbaum angehören) sehen zu können, beispielsweise, wenn diese dekliniert werden, hat man die Konsonanten einfach schriftlich verändert. ZB. Wald ist im Plural Wälder. Würde es mit t geschrieben werden, wäre es: Wälter oder Welter. Da wir zB auch das Wort Welt haben, könnte es zu Verwirrungen kommen, was nun gemeint ist. Falls dich noch mehr zu dem Thema interessiert, empfehle ich dir Literatur zur Einführung ins Mittelhochdeutsche. Liebe Grüße aus der Heimat.
We don't pronounce the "e" on "horrible" because it is silent: in English the letter "e" at the end of a word generally (and in this case) makes the first vowel in the word sound the way it sounds in the alphabet.
Deine Erklärungen, sind sehr aufschlussreich! Der Clip ist gut gemacht, von der Zeit her genau richtig. Nicht zu lang und nicht zu kurz. Weiter so. Grüße aus München.
I'm glad you reposted this. It was just as fun the second time. You're dead on with your insight. My grandparents (Bavarian and Austrian) spoke with a profound accent. My father and his brothers spoke perfect English but, also, perfectly accented German. My siblings and I pronounce German terribly. This led me to believe that we learn different phonics at a very early age to speak them naturally. I'd love to see you do a video on how English speakers butcher German pronunciation. For heaven's sake, why would you apologize? You're as kind as can be, even when you're making jokes.
Basicly: In the german language the tounge is pretty much relaxed in the mouth. It doesnt slide back/forth like it does in the english language (especially for the 'r'-sound) - in German the tip of the tounge stays at the front teeth. Thats also why German has this clear sound, because the tounge doesnt alter the sound that much. I guess its the classical Latin heritage of the language which is causing this: Every letter in a word is pronounced without much alteration. I guess the softer sound (especially in the US) of english is influenced by the french language, which even more uses the tounge to soften the sound.
Thanks so much for this masterclass ! I have to play the role of a German guy speaking English with a very strong accent and this video will help me a lot.
So true; @ 2:26 In American, ma'er is actually used instead of "matter" in places like San Joaquin Valley, California, including Stockton and Sacramento. They also say "di'nt" instead of "didnt". And, they arent even aware that they are doing it. It's the strangest shit.
Beim Klassenkamerad hat auch so 'nen komischen Akzent, zum Beispiel "siss is wonderfull" statt "this is wonderful". Und meine Oma kann kein englisches "R" aussprechen. Ich geh mit der niemals zum bowling, mit ihrem SCHTREIK -.- XD
Can anyone's voice do a German accent? I'm part German but live in USA and I'm going this summer hopefully but I don't think my voice can pull it off. :c
I think the only way is trying and repeating and learning. I'm German and I was is France for two weeks. (I'm learning French in school.) Before I was there my pronouncing wasn't good. But after speaking only French for 2 weeks it was much better. (And now I'm unable to speak English...)
So that's why my friend called me "Jonason". It's sad really, kids made fun of him for it, I don't think he took offense though, he was one of the smartest in the class.
Yes, English and German are Germanic languages, but English did not descend from German. They instead come from a common ancestral language of West Germanic that was spoken in the northern-middle part of Europe between the 3rd and 7th centuries. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Germanic_languages?wprov=sfla1
Naja, viele meinen, sie hätten keinen aber wenn sie englisch sprechen hören das andere raus. Viele aus meiner Klasse meinten, dass sie keinen haben. Dann waren wir in England und jeder konnte es hören. Erst wenn jemand aus Amerika (usw..) kommt und es ihnen nicht sofort auffällt, kann man behaupten, dass man keinen starken hat. Aber es sollten schon mehrere englisch sprechende (Muttersprache) sein.
Ab Minute 6: Das Phänomen wird als Auslautverhärtung bezeichnet (= the last spoken consonant is all times hard). Man schreibt totzdem einen stimmhaften Konsonant, da er im Plural wieder stimmhaft gesprochen wird: Grab [grap] Gräber [greber]. Andere Sprachen haben dieses Phänomen auch, z.B. das Russische.
+Marcel Thoma Das Türkische folgt genau der gegenteiligen Logik: anstatt die underlying representation schriftlich darzustellen, geht es stringent nach Aussprache: kebap, kebabı; Kürt, Kürdüm
As a person who likes to utilise different accents in their voice work and planning to potentially play a German-accented character in a game of Dungeons & Dragons, I found this very insightful and of great help to further my understanding of how to improve my faux German accent, so my greatest gratitude to you!
Thank you so much for this! As an English voiceover artist who is often asked to do accents I used this to check that I was on the money with my German accent. It's really useful to learn from a native German speaker who not only has a good command of English but who can also point out the major differences between our languages. Brilliant! You are my new guru! x
You Germans do swallow the end of some words, especially name of cities! First time I heard people pronouncing Göttingen, I couldn‘t figure out where they meant although I was a student there😂
Trixi, I loved this video. One thing I really like about the German language (i.e. Hochdeutsch) is its staccato nature. This separates the words and makes them a bit easier to understand (for non-native speakers).
Thank you for this funny but brilliant video! Lots of clever comments and some impressive analytical work! For a French guy (trying out to speak English as well as... German, if ever he has a gottverdammte opportunity to do so in such an English dominated world!), it's a very meaningful lesson, that makes me more aware of the difficulties we share and that make Germany and France really closer the one from the other than towards English. By the way, we had Heinrich Heine as a bridge between our cultures. Does he have an english equivalent? I'm not so sure... Thanks again for this funny but serious video...
God Trixie is adorable, her other videos are so educational, I love Germany, I wish Trixie would teach me German but miricals don't happen lol I think we would be great friends
Wo und wie hast du gelernt so gut Englisch zu sprechen?? Warst du mal ne weile lang in England America oder so?? And do you understand all what i just said? :D
+Sp3CiaLiZeD Hi! Yep, understood everything. Just for the record: I answered you on the same question in my "Fears about Pregnancy" video. ;) You can also watch "Talking English (as a German) at work" which is a video I made quite some time ago about this exact topic.
Germans don't simply pronounce "d" as a "t" in word-final position. It's actually a general phonological rule called "Word-final Devoicing", where if you have a voiced obstruent, by "a" I mean ANY voiced obstruent, each and every one of b, d, g, s and w, you devioce it into its voiceless counterpart, which are p, t, k, ss ("sharp S") and f. Also, German don't have "three s-sounds", they are a sh-sound, a z-sound (as in English, not the German ts-sound) and an s-sound (the "sharp S").

"We Germans pronounce every letter" [h in the middle of a word stares from a distance]
One of the numerous claims in the video that won't stand closer scrutiny.
Practically all the unstressed vowels in German are candidates for centralisation/reduction ("weakening"), but the unstressed vowels definitely are, even in standard varieties and in careful enunciation. There is elision, as there is in English. Think of how the word 'bauen' is pronounced, or 'Sachen'. Word-final, post-vocalic 's never see the light of day: 'Vater', 'weiter', 'Lehrer'. A.s.o.
@José Hoppenstedt Well, how aobut consulting the Duden (or any other recognized authority)? Or do you have something other than your intuition to base your comment on?
The misinterpretation of German spelling (by native speakers and, most unfortunately, by teachers) is one of the most detrimental factors in the learning/acquisition/teaching of pronunciation.
Do you read your alias as /ho-pen-stet/? No?Why not?
In spanish too "h" is the mude letter and too all letters are pronunced except in ps.

I was in Germany and I tried to order a steak. Well, I thought let's speak the German way and I used the 's' that is in front of words with consonant as the second letter. For example spielen and Stadt. I really had no idea how to pronounce it as it is a foreign word in German. The guys were laughing at me and were like "so you want a sshhhhteak?" XDD
OMG hahahaha
+henkkaiz3 I'm not surprised they were having a ball with your attempts German pronounciation, seeing as how "Steak" with a soft German S-sound is pretty much bang-on the proper German pronounciation of the word "Steg" which has a variety of meanings, the most common being jetty/gangway/boardwalk - so you were basically asking the waiter to provide you with a landig place for your boat! :)
Big kudos to you for actually making an effort not only to speak German in Germany, but actually get it right as well. I know quite well how most Germans are overeager to accomodate any native speaker by showing off their English skills.
+henkkaiz3 Well "Steak" is not a German word. So we just use the English pronunciation.

What an AMAZING video!!! This was so interesting -- watched it all the way to the end and really enjoyed every second of it :) As an American, native-English speaker living here in Germany, I have trouble with the German accent in pretty much the opposite of all the problems you mentioned Germans having with the English accent :D So for example, instead of having trouble making the strong R, I have trouble saying the nice, cute, soft German r. And while it's kind become "a thing" that Germans have trouble saying squirrel, I also have a REALLY hard time saying Eichhörnchen :D What a mouthful that word is! :)
+Wanted Adventure I totally agree! This video should be compulsory viewing for everyone learning or wanting to learn German.
+Wanted Adventure
The difference between the "r"s is that our "r" is more guttural. Pronounce in the back of our throats- very Viking like - hahaha
while English is very light. The language takes part in the actual mouth.
Maybe you realize that your voice might sound deeper when you speak German.
+Wanted Adventure Eichhörnchen :D :3
You and Sam are everywhere! :O
omg^^ that was one of the first things I tought my husband^^ he told me I say squirrel really good (I'm half American though) and so I practiced Eichhörnchen with him 😀
so a german guy would say "she wants the T" 😂
oder, sie will die S
Sorry but I have to spoil your joke: German has words that start with d, so there would be no difference ;) - only D's at the end lead to problems
Jeff Nixon well, not really. Its just sometimes in specific words we pronounce it that Way. It's Most common when the D (...) is at the End of the Word. Also, the english T-sound is more like 'Tea' or 'Tee' while the german Sound is 'Tae' or 'Dae' . Thats my english variant of the german e sound ^^.

The english language descend from german language of the anglo-saxons. The word "England" hints to that fact pretty well. The term is used for tribes from the very north of germany and the very south of todays denmark. The influences came from the frisians who settled at the coast from the netherlands up to todays danish border. The second was the "Angeln" wich came from the north east of Schleswig-Holstein. Other influences came from danish tribes of the "Jutes".
The modern lower German wich is still spoken in the north of Germany in everyday life is still pretty close to the english language. Even the people who don't speak lower german tend to forget about word endings and their accent is much softer than the typical German.The language of the Frisians is also still spoken in the northern parts of germany. Speakers of the lower german language can understand danish and dutch pretty good. English is kind of a mixture of all these languages with some latin influences. you really should listen to it. It's kind of a cute language.
And btw. lower german or "plattdeutsch" is spoken all over the world. There are more than 10.000 speakers in the USA and more than 100.000 speakers in kazachstan
platt ist nicht gleich platt und es gibt schon gewaltige unterschiede
In Kazachstan?
Toni Schumacher Didn't the French also originate from the German tribe Franks? Leaving aside the Slavs in eastern Europe, "German" ethnicity pretty much dominates Europe.

I'm half English, half German (though English is my first language and I've always lived in London). I found myself recognizing everything you say when my German relatives try to speak to me in English. With some of my relatives, their German accents are really strong! My mother (who was German) lived in England for decades and though her German accent became weak over time, she never quite lost it! The German accent is very characteristic! You can't mistake it! And in my experience there are very few Germans that can speak English without it being clear that they are German!
I often find it's with the simple words that you can tell it's a German speaking English. So for example they will say "hätt" instead of hat. Or "sree" instead of "three"!
But to be fair, many English people have problems pronouncing German! My own German pronunciation is reasonably good because my mother started teaching me as a small child. But when I was at school the other pupils often could not pronounce the German "ch" sound, which we don't have in English. And with the English tendency to round off the vowels and soften the consonants (the opposite of what Germans do) their German can sound very strange. So instead of "Brot" they may say something like "Brott" or "Broud"!
My main problem is with the German grammar! But that's another story!
Loved your video! Really interesting!
Hi. I just found your channel today and enjoy it very much! My wife and I hosted a German high school student for one year about 15 years ago. One day she asked how she can improve her accent. I said to speak German with a bad American accent. Now speak English like that. It worked, and we had a good laugh. I wanted to point out something with your English pronunciation of words that end in "ar" like "similar." You are pronouncing it like the word "are," but it should be pronounced like the "er" in "water." Sim-uh-ler in American English and Sim-uh-luh in British English. In fact, most English words ending in "ar" are pronounced this way: popular, polar, calendar, grammar, scholar, regular, vinegar are all pronounced with the "er" sound. Keep up the good work!
+David Christiansen I just spoke to my computer screen trying to pronounce all the words you mentioned with an "uh" in the end. :D Some day I'll get there. Thanks! :)
+DontTrustTheRabbit By the way, we are still close to our German exchange student and went to her wedding in Germany a few years ago. About a month before we went, I checked out a Pimsleur CD from the library and worked on my German every day on my commute. In Germany, I was understanding about half of what I was hearing but didn't get to practice much. Every time someone heard my American accent, they started speaking English so they could practice theirs!
David Christiansen c
Listen to Schwarzenegger - he speaks English with a stronk German-Austrian accent and German with a bad American accent! Both sounds funny.
New Yorkers, Bostonians and Atlantans don't have time for "r". Many speakers of foreign languages worry so much about the rhotic "American r", but many of us don't use it. Maybe as much as 35-40% of Americans speak with a non-rhotic accent. You know that...

Hi Trixie! I'm an English teacher and I'd like to say your English is great. In fact, the one word that I've heard you mispronounce is also commonly mistaken by native English speakers, that is "pronunciation". NOT proNOUNciation. :) Love your videos!!!
Joshua Hilbig Eh, I think it depends on your dialect. I don't know anyone who doesn't say proNOUNciation where I live.
Thalric Yep, it is the #1 most mispronounced word in the English language. It's because people forget that the /o/ is dropped from "pronounce" to "pronunciation". Look it up, if you'd like. There's no dialect where /pronounciation/ is correct.
I believe I learned from my German English teacher the pronunciation version. Like nun, not noun.
Joshua Hilbig i hope you know, that only very stupid people speak like that :D German people can speak better English than she showed it.
Indeed, Josh. Pronunciation is mispronounced almost as often as sophomore and picture. That is likely because the root word is pronounce. Hearing the difference can be very difficult. Und jah, Ihr Englisch ist ausgezeichnet.

Why do women love the French accent and language so much? To a lesser extent men like German (of the European languages)?
I've seen a couple of your videos that sound like you think German is ugly and French is beautiful. In American high schools, girls are the predominant people in a French class while boys are in it because the girls are. I'm a chemist and think Germans are awesome, Germans (all German speakers) constantly out number the French in scientific papers published, perhaps because their language gets shit done.

Hilarious response, thanks. Some of what you've written makes sense, but it just leads to psychology. Germans as I've said are a wealthier people and smarter, things that should appeal to women more than just speaking "effeminately" or "non-threatening". Maybe it's more of a girl vs women thing, but my best friend who happens to be a woman is trying to learning German with me as we try to learn enough and get a job in Germany because we appreciate Germans prize education and engineering over "love and romance".
Bladey H. Queen Ugh!!! Wrote out a really long reply but computer lost it. Think you misunderstood me talking about my friend, I know she isn't doing it for romance. I have Asperger's so logic to me is instinctual, my fight or flight is predicated on my instincts to fight with logic. I can't understand people who are entirely ruled by emotions nor they me, all being our instincts. Logical instincts may just appear to not be instincts like emotional instincts do because it is generally predicated on facts that are easier to quantify and the cognitive workings of the brain to compile and process data quickly that others can understand, like you and me.
I'm an American female and I looooove the German accent. Sounds commanding, masculine and intelligent to me.
Bladey H. Queen Without the intention of being rude, you answered my question with feelings rather than logic/facts, something common with right brainers. The answer wasn't insightful, the stereotype for women is that they like nice and pleasant things, which you eloquently stated in many more words. The French accent is grafted from Frankish, which most commonly resembles modern Dutch (a Germanic language) and only reinforces the stereotype women don't belong in politics or science, professions that require logic more than feeling. You didn't address Spanish or Italian, both Romance languages derived from Latin, like French. You mentioned nothing about the Court of Love or because Salian Law forbade woman from direct inheritance they were regulated to 2nd class nobility and came up with the rules of manners. I appreciate your responses, but it's nothing more than stating common sense about women carying more about feelings than logic, something every man knows.
Spanish is a easier language to learn than French , Greek , Irish , Gaelic , Welsh , German , etc
Pretty cool. Ich kann nicht gut englisch sprechen/schreiben. Verstehen macht mir kein problem, jedoch fehlen mir oft viele worte und ich kann mich nicht richtig ausdrücken. Ich schaue dich sehr gerne und bin erstaunt über die unglaublich guten videos. Du wurdest mir auf youtube empfohlen.

"as if you are afraid that your tongue may get hurt by the sharp edges of the T in the middle"
me: *aggressively pronounces 't'*
I lived in Germany 🇩🇪 for over 3 1/2 years and loved it. I could speak enough to get around and shop, order food etc. our first son was born in Nuremberg (I was in the military of course). Anyhow, I totally enjoy your vids and keep up the good work!!
The TH one amuses me because i studied old german and the formation of the english language. The TH is originally old german that was preserved in the british isles and the scandinavian world, however, most people on european continent lacked the ability to pronounce the TH aside from the greeks until later on. This caused a consonant shift in the german language due to continental trade and immigration, and what was once unique to them got lost in time. The story is similar with the W, but english brought the german W to the front of the mount instead of the back while the german language transformed it into a special V. Thus, the English and german Vs, though having a similar sound, are produced differently because of this. I'd probably have to make a video about this to explain it.
It amused me further when you brought up that germans typically replace it with an S, where as all the TH's in old german were replaced by D's in high german such as "The" turning into Die (old english had the same vowel pronounciation until the normans conquered.) other examples are Thing>Dinge, Think>Denke, That>Das, Though>Doch, Thought>Dacht. so its interesting to see them pronounce it with an S instead of a D. Even our kids pronounce the sound with a D until they learn how to make the TH sound. Its even more odd that a german can easily transform denken into a redneckish thinkin' by only dropping their tongue alittle bit instead of going at it in the S route.
Other changes are -lich>ly, -cht>-ight (Licht>Light, Recht>Right, Nacht>Night, Furcht>Fright, Brought>gebracht), -dge>cke (Bridge>Brücke, Hedge>Hecke, Ridge>Rücken) for gh, ght and dge english lost its hardness to the french while german gained hardness.
Aidan Hodge Talks Wow, thank you, that was really interesting! :)
+Aidan Hodge Talks best comment seen in a long time on the entire TH-cam! I am also learning German with the help of English as a native Chinese speaker. I do realize all the accents the Germans have when they are speaking English. But also i see so much in common between English and German, and the transformations of prefix and endings. Comparing to my mother language, it's much of a help to learn German with English. :)
+Vincent G (VikingSail) Somebody told me, english is a "degenerated" saxonian dialect...maybe the reason why german people have mostly no problems to learn english (besides the german accent) and are pleased with the much lesser complexity...could this be?
Mike Romney i would definitely say about the grammar in English is so much easier than in German. that's why most Germans have no problem in understanding the English language. even though i've met some of them struggling in correct spelling or making up a whole sentence.
+Vincent G (VikingSail) English's Latin (SVO) word order makes a lot of things easier. I'm pretty sure v2 word order of Germanic Languages makes, many people strugle hard.
Moin aus Deutschland ;) ich weiß nicht, ob es schon jemand angesprochen hat, deswegen versuche ich es einmal:
Ich studiere Deutsch und dies beinhaltet Sprachwissenschaften und Ältere deutsche Literatur ( worin man zu Anfang einen Einsteigerkurs in Mittelhochdeutsch bekommt) Und ich kann dir die Antwort geben, weswegen wir im Deutschen ein 't' sprechen, obwohl ein d am Ende eines Wortes steht. Dies nennt man eine Auslautverhärtung. Man geht davon aus, dass das gesprochene Wort vor dem geschriebenen stand. Um einen Unterschied zwischen verschiedenen Wörtern (die nicht dem selben Stammbaum angehören) sehen zu können, beispielsweise, wenn diese dekliniert werden, hat man die Konsonanten einfach schriftlich verändert.
ZB. Wald ist im Plural Wälder. Würde es mit t geschrieben werden, wäre es: Wälter oder Welter. Da wir zB auch das Wort Welt haben, könnte es zu Verwirrungen kommen, was nun gemeint ist.
Falls dich noch mehr zu dem Thema interessiert, empfehle ich dir Literatur zur Einführung ins Mittelhochdeutsche.
Liebe Grüße aus der Heimat.
wobei man Welten sagt und nicht Wälter/Welter, dies macht also nicht soviel Sinn
I like how you said “sofTen”instead of “soffen” for the word spelled “soften”.
Except it's incorrect.
th-cam.com/video/z1ioA77rKaM/w-d-xo.html
so you basically said that germans neither need the "D" nor the "V" 😂😂😂😂 sry I totally lost it 😂😂😂
Natha Lie you have made my day.
We need the "D" xD
We need it for danke lmao,but some of our women need the d in another way
We don't pronounce the "e" on "horrible" because it is silent: in English the letter "e" at the end of a word generally (and in this case) makes the first vowel in the word sound the way it sounds in the alphabet.
I'm learning/attempting to learn German for a guy I like😂💕
Tell him this, "Ich mag du".
Edit: I know it is "Ich mag dich" I am not a German beginner anymore, sort of.

I'm glad you reposted this. It was just as fun the second time. You're dead on with your insight. My grandparents (Bavarian and Austrian) spoke with a profound accent. My father and his brothers spoke perfect English but, also, perfectly accented German. My siblings and I pronounce German terribly. This led me to believe that we learn different phonics at a very early age to speak them naturally. I'd love to see you do a video on how English speakers butcher German pronunciation. For heaven's sake, why would you apologize? You're as kind as can be, even when you're making jokes.
Basicly: In the german language the tounge is pretty much relaxed in the mouth. It doesnt slide back/forth like it does in the english language (especially for the 'r'-sound) - in German the tip of the tounge stays at the front teeth. Thats also why German has this clear sound, because the tounge doesnt alter the sound that much. I guess its the classical Latin heritage of the language which is causing this: Every letter in a word is pronounced without much alteration. I guess the softer sound (especially in the US) of english is influenced by the french language, which even more uses the tounge to soften the sound.
Thanks so much for this masterclass ! I have to play the role of a German guy speaking English with a very strong accent and this video will help me a lot.

So true; @ 2:26 In American, ma'er is actually used instead of "matter" in places like San Joaquin Valley, California, including Stockton and Sacramento. They also say "di'nt" instead of "didnt". And, they arent even aware that they are doing it. It's the strangest shit.

These two German exchange students from Bavaria studied at my university last year and I think their English sounded on the same level as yours.
dojokonojo bavarian sounds way closer to english than standard german. Here in my school (8th grade) almost everyone can speak english well.
but this rly has nothing to do with how it sounds.. Ever heard real a real Bavarian speak? Even as a German you cant understand anything ^^
Your English is Perfect, Reminds me of my Canadian Best Friend. Keep up the Great Content !!! : )
I find this so delightful~ German is one of the language I really love to learn, I don't really know why.
P.S. I'm learning in Duolingo lololol

Can anyone's voice do a German accent? I'm part German but live in USA and I'm going this summer hopefully but I don't think my voice can pull it off. :c
Do you speak German? If not, you are probably right, you wouldn't be able to since you are not at all used to the sounds.
DaemlichesStueck Is there a way to get use to the sounds? I been learning German
whats the matter
I think the only way is trying and repeating and learning. I'm German and I was is France for two weeks. (I'm learning French in school.) Before I was there my pronouncing wasn't good. But after speaking only French for 2 weeks it was much better. (And now I'm unable to speak English...)
I'm seeing if you can learn a German accent without begin German

Yes, English and German are Germanic languages, but English did not descend from German. They instead come from a common ancestral language of West Germanic that was spoken in the northern-middle part of Europe between the 3rd and 7th centuries.

Ab Minute 6: Das Phänomen wird als Auslautverhärtung bezeichnet (= the last spoken consonant is all times hard). Man schreibt totzdem einen stimmhaften Konsonant, da er im Plural wieder stimmhaft gesprochen wird: Grab [grap] Gräber [greber]. Andere Sprachen haben dieses Phänomen auch, z.B. das Russische.

As a person who likes to utilise different accents in their voice work and planning to potentially play a German-accented character in a game of Dungeons & Dragons, I found this very insightful and of great help to further my understanding of how to improve my faux German accent, so my greatest gratitude to you!
I’m here for a german accented d&d character Lol
Thank you so much for this! As an English voiceover artist who is often asked to do accents I used this to check that I was on the money with my German accent. It's really useful to learn from a native German speaker who not only has a good command of English but who can also point out the major differences between our languages. Brilliant! You are my new guru! x
Hey there, the V is actually not always an alternative for F, for example like in Video, konvex or vulgär. :)
You Germans do swallow the end of some words, especially name of cities! First time I heard people pronouncing Göttingen, I couldn‘t figure out where they meant although I was a student there😂

Trixi, I loved this video. One thing I really like about the German language (i.e. Hochdeutsch) is its staccato nature. This separates the words and makes them a bit easier to understand (for non-native speakers).

1. theatre
2. he, she, it das „s“ muss mit
3. „it gives“ gives it not

Thank you for this funny but brilliant video! Lots of clever comments and some impressive analytical work! For a French guy (trying out to speak English as well as... German, if ever he has a gottverdammte opportunity to do so in such an English dominated world!), it's a very meaningful lesson, that makes me more aware of the difficulties we share and that make Germany and France really closer the one from the other than towards English. By the way, we had Heinrich Heine as a bridge between our cultures. Does he have an english equivalent? I'm not so sure... Thanks again for this funny but serious video...

Germans don't simply pronounce "d" as a "t" in word-final position. It's actually a general phonological rule called "Word-final Devoicing", where if you have a voiced obstruent, by "a" I mean ANY voiced obstruent, each and every one of b, d, g, s and w, you devioce it into its voiceless counterpart, which are p, t, k, ss ("sharp S") and f.
Also, German don't have "three s-sounds", they are a sh-sound, a z-sound (as in English, not the German ts-sound) and an s-sound (the "sharp S").
