Pretty brilliant. We actually sound pretty German I never realized

EDIT: if anyone can find me a video of american english accents in other languages I'd appreciate it. I've been trying to find a video on it in a while. Like how to speak french with an american accent. Most videos are how to speak english with a french/japanese/whatever accent. I want the inverse of that.

English and German are both Germanic languages and share a lot of similarities.

English is an insane mishmash of lots of languages, but it started out Germanic. It's gotten considerably less so over the last millennium, but you can still hear some of it. Just try reading something in actual Old English, and you'll see it.

I dunno, must be some ancient knowledge we lost.

I know you're joking, but it isn't pronounced like the grain. It's a cognate of the German word reich, it state/realm.

It also became signifigantly more French after the French invasion in the 11th or 12th century, I forget the exact date at the moment. If you read English, it seems significantly more French, but if you hear it, it sounds much more German. It's pretty interesting.

Pretty sure there's some heavy celtic influence in there.

I tried to read these in my normal accent but I instantly went to Dwarven.

That Scandinavian influence though.

[–]Gastronomicus 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Scandinavian languages are Germanic too.

There's this video of Americans working at the US Embassy in Denmark speaking Danish. Some of them have very American accents.

But as another guy said, as a non-native English or German speaker, English and German do not really have any similarities accent-wise.

Very interesting. As a swede they make more sense to me than native danes. Maybe because they speak slower but for some reason they also sound very swedish in some way.

Same goes for me as a Norwegian. This is easier to understand than Danish spoken by Danes and that is kinda strange to me.

honestly many americans don't even try to emulate the accent of foreign languages

What is that?

Was ist das?

That is good, hello!

Das ist gut, hallo!

I dunno, it seems like there are some similarities... Not quite a doppelgänger though!
