The German sounds so much nicer than the american English.

Studying languages develops the brain and increases the general culture about the world: something they all miss.

First, I agree 100%,. People should be at least bilingual from the very beginning. Unfortunately, it is true that most of the Europeans speak enough English to communicate, so normally any American in Europe does not need to speak any language but English. In Belgium even in conversations between the natives of the two different regions they switch to English instead of choosing French or Flemish. Second, the roots the situation are mostly geographic and historical. In Europe you take a car and after just one hour the people in streets could be speaking a completely diffent language. So you need to learn different languages just to move around. Conversely, the USA is a very large country, really big, and so until the last three or four decades, most the Americans would have needed to take a plane to get to place where English was not spoken. The same happens in Brazil, another very huge country, and for the same reason. Even though Brazlians learn other languages in the school, most of them don't care a little bit about really "learning" other languages. In a lesser degree it also happens in China.

Yes! Idk why we Americans don’t start learning Spanish/German/any language at a young language cause our parents think we wouldn’t need it unless our parents know it and know people who speak it.

That’s why I’m gonna grow up my future children to be bilingual!

for example from Maine our most eastern point to California is about 3300 miles. but from Lisbon Portugal to Moscow Russia its only 2800 miles, and every single state in between speaks English, and our northern neighbor also speaks English with some French parts. the only reason we would NEED to know another language would be for Mexico, and on top of that most Americans are only going to tourist areas there where they also speak English. so we don't have the need to learn another language unlike Europe.

A lot of the "fancy" words are from French, whereas the words a medieval peasant would have said on a daily basis stayed Germanic. For example, "House" in German is "Haus."

I have literally never heard that as being a stereotype for German people. I always heard it was the exact opposite. That's really strange 🤔

oh, Francesca opened a new (for me) perspective to look at languages! I didn't think that way!

Francesca knows exactly what she's talking about. English and German are cousin languages with very different developments (1066, never forget) whose vocabularies diverge dramatically in higher registers of the languages. As a German learner it's frustrating trying to read some things in German when I don't recognize most of the nouns. I wonder if she studied linguistics or English or German in college.

"Volkswagen" is actually what was thought at the time, a car for the folk. History: The Führer commissioned Ferdinand Porsche to construct a car that anyone can afford to work on. This is how the "VW Beetle" (Ger. Käfer) came about. However, Porsche did not have a factory that could even come close to producing what was expected, so it was decided (probably mostly with funds from the Reich) to create an independent factory (and brand). This explains at the same time why on the one hand there was a certain similarity between the "old" 911 and the Beetle and the basic concept, engine at the rear, was identical in both, as was the air cooling back then. We here in Switzerland have 4 official national languages, a 2nd national language has always been compulsory (in the meantime I think it has simply changed to a 2nd language). But I know that today many learn English as well as a second national language.

Francesca has grown on me, she’s so sweet and love her German accent! Always great to see a new participant, 👋🏻 Megan! There must be a lot of Americans living in Seoul! As an Australian, we pronounce Nivea and Adidas similarly to Germany. We get Nivea and Schwarzkopf here.

Originally W and U didn’t exist. Only V did and it was called oo and it either made the U or W sound depending on context in a word. Later the W sound started to shift to a V sound, so they kept V for the V sound and rounded out the letter to an U to make the oo sound. When German adopted the Latin Alphabet, there no longer was a letter to represent the W sound so they took two V V’s (oo’s) and put them together. W=W, V=V, U=U. German then went through a sound shift where just like Latin into Italian, the German W shifted into a V sound, thus the letter's name changed. When English adopted the Latin Script, there was a different letter, winn, to represent the W sound, but we eventually got red of that and replaced it with the German W letter.

I'm pretty sure it wasn't a phoneme in Middle-High-German either. Can't talk with certainty for Old-High-German but yeah, I'm 90% certain it wasn't. In Middle-High-German you had stuff like vruowe und vuoz but it was still actualised as /f/. And I could swear that Old-High-German used predominantly 'f' for the phoneme. I remember /fihu/ for /Vieh/ (cattle), but that's about all the vocabulary I can remember starting with /f/. And that devolved into /vich/, /vihe/, and /vehe/ in MHG. The /w/ phoneme on the other hand I'm definite is ancient in Germanic languages and hasn't changed forever. Since stuff like OHG -wer (Man) and Germanic *wera (Man) are basically unchanged for more than a thousand years ... Or look at Germanic *wintru OHG wintar MHG/NHG Winter.

If I understand correctly they are all foreigners living in Korean but how do they get them on the channel? Why do they all seem to be similar ages ( early to mid 20's?) I am an American in my mid 30's and Nivea was definitely a popular skincare brand in my teens and early 20's. There were commercials all over TV for them. I am somewhat shocked that the American doesn't recognize the name at all. I do wonder if the fact that we have so many choices nowadays in how we consume media and information adds to this weird feeling that Americans just 10 years younger than me grew up in a different culture. Like when I was younger we watched what was on the few available channels and we all saw the same commercials. We didn't have streaming and targeted ads and all that.

Korea still does not have a large foreign population, and a large portion of the foreigners living there are English teachers or other language teachers. It's financially a pretty good deal so it's a popular gig for people fresh out of college to help pay down their college loans, especially if they're having trouble finding a job in their field at home. I taught ESL in Korea myself, and while this did not apply to me personally, nearly all of the other foreigners I met in Korea were ESL teachers, in their early to mid 20s, mostly from the US and Canada.

Birkenstock is an old german company, I started wearing them in the 80s.

Oooof why did nobody tell them about the history of Volkswagen :D

I actually find German to be a way softer language than English
