I'm descended from the Teutonic tribes, going back centuries, with a little smattering of French/Alsace Lorraine... too bad I speak German like such a retard.
This is hilarious, a belgian footballer speaking german like it ain't no thaing.
What's funnier is that announcer seems to understand every word of that "dialect" and just keeps the convo going.
Actually English is one of the most illogical European languages.
Dutch is very hard to learn.
I suppose. But don't you ever find it confusing when switching from French to German and you suddenly have to change grammatical genders from one to the other. Masculine/feminine is often logically distributed in French, but adding neuter to the mix just screws everything up. And there are cultural differences, like la lune in French, der mond in German... le soleille in French, then die sonne in German.
Someone told me it had to do with the ancient mythologies of each culture.
Many Dutch words seem similar to German. You can often get the gist of a sentence.
One thing is for sure... Europeans can master many languages and sound good speaking them it seems, whereas the efforts of English speakers trying to communicate in another language is usually hilarious. The average Brit/American speaking French = "Bawn-joor, oon café aye oon kra-ssoynte, seel-vous-plait."
