How to do a GERMAN ACCENT?

Hey rabbits!
In this video I try to elaborate why the German accent in English sounds like it sounds comparing both languages a bit and giving funny examples.
For a video of me speaking English in a really ridiculous German accent and showing you around my city, click here:

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.

[@NorthernXY]

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".

[@NorthernXY]

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.

[@5050TM]

I'm an American female and I looooove the German accent. Sounds commanding, masculine and intelligent to me.

[@NorthernXY]

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.

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.

[@JoshuaHilbig]

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'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!

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.

Entschuldigung, wenn ich dir das so sage, es ist wirklich nicht meine Absicht, als Hater rüberzukommen, aber leider waren einige deiner Erklärungen sehr verallgemeinernd oder sogar sachlich falsch. Daher würde ich dir gerne ein bisschen konstruktive Kritik geben. Falls du Lust hättest, ein wirklich informatives Video über den deutschen Akzent (nicht nur im Englischen, sondern ganz allgemein) zu machen, wäre ich dir gerne behilflich. Falls nicht, solltest du dich aber vielleicht ein bisschen in phonetische Grundlagen einlesen und vor allem anfangen, Laute und Buchstaben konsequent voneinander zu trennen. Buchstaben haben keine "Aussprache", da es sich lediglich um graphische Repräsentationen von Lauten handelt, wobei sich Orthographie und Aussprache nur zum Teil entsprechen. Insbesondere solltest du dich nochmal mit folgenden Themen auseinandersetzen: - Auslautverhärtung - glottaler Verschluss - Aspiration

[@waitasecond2]

Ich kann gut verstehen, dass du Verbesserungsvorschläge Hast, wenn du es besser weißt, aber es ist am Ende des Tages immernoch ein unterhaltungsvideo und ihre Erklärungen sind verständlich und nachvollziehbar, auch wenn man es vielleicht richtiger machen könnte.

[@UntotesSchaf]

+Hans Power Der Durchschnittsdeutsche wird nur nichts von Auslautverhärtung und glottalem Verschluss verstehen (da schließe ich mich übrigens ein). Trixis Video hingegen ist sehr verständlich und doch recht nahe an der Realität dessen, wie viele Deutsche Englisch sprechen. Auch ist das hier kein wissenschaftliches Video, sondern es sind ihre eigenen Erklärungen, die gar nicht diesen Anspruch haben. Sie sind jedoch unterhaltsam und hilfreich obendrein.

[@JanineZockt]

Stimme dir da vollkommen zu. Natürlich ist es wichtig verständlich zu bleiben, aber Inhalte komplett falsch darzustellen bringt doch niemandem was. Und Auslautverhärtung und glottaler Verschluss klingen zwar nach ganz furchtbaren Krankheiten, sind aber eigentlich sehr leicht und verständlich zu erklären.

[@philippunterholz8419]

In English the S can also make a Z sound, like in the word "dogs."

[@Krarilotus]

+Philipp Unterholz not realy... do you know the german words Zahl, Zentner, Zehn, Holz i.e.? i think they are pronounced kinda different to dogs, with a more sharpened 'S' but still no real 'Z' at the end :)

[@Krarilotus]

+Philipp Unterholz ah wait... your name states that you're german ^^ :P Seems like you pronounce dogs to sharp

[@philippunterholz8419]

Krarilotus Yeah, but I have lived in the United States for most of my life, and I have lost almost all of my German accent.

[@Papierflugzeug95]

+Krarilotus He was talking about the symbols used in the phonetic alphabet. The "s" is used for unvoiced realizations of the sound (as in, "sitting", "sample"), whereas the "z" is used for voiced realizations (as in "is", "clumsy").

[@InsertTruthHere]

+Krarilotus He's talking about the phonetic symbol [z] which is the voiced counterpart of [s]. What he means is [z] as in Sonne as opposed to [s] as in Wasser. And he is perfectly correct: dogs is pronounced with a [z] at the end. Most of the time when Germans say this word, they fail to retain the voicedness of both the "g" and "s." As a result, what comes out is another English word: docks.

[@morumoto]

Well done! I am also from northern Germany and tried to share something. I really like the way you do this.

[@thedogpawsquad]

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

[@DaemlichesStueck]

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.

[@thedogpawsquad]

DaemlichesStueck Is there a way to get use to the sounds? I been learning German

[@kathi1851]

whats the matter

[@larakaberstein9365]

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...)

[@thedogpawsquad]

I'm seeing if you can learn a German accent without begin German

[@drakevegas7073]

Watching this video made me realize that the German word for button, "Knopf", would have one syllable in English, but it has three in German, because the consonants get their own syllables with how strongly they're pronounced. I don't know if that statement is necessarily *technically* correct, but if Knopf were an English word, it'd probably be said "noff", since the K would be silent and the F would be lost, since it's an end consonant. Meanwhile, it's said more like Kuh-nopp-ff.

[@yulian3578]

nah, it's definitely a one syllable word, with "kn" being a more complex consonant cluster (english has those too, think "bliss" or "steal", both "bl" and "st" aren't syllables of their own) and "pf" actually being a single consonant even (it's not pronounces as ph+fh, it really is one sound). it is true tho that knopf would probably be pronounced as you described! it's just the reason is that it contains consonant clusters and sounds english doesnt have/allow for

[@CamdenBloke]

I had a political science course in college with a professor from Germany. One of my colleagues was named 'Jack.' The professor kept calling him 'Zack.' There was a sign-in sheet passed around every day for attendance, and it came to me before him, so a few times I signed his name 'Zack' before it got to him with a large crossed Z at the beginning.

[@jordanzell1]

I'm supposed to play a character with a German accent. This was very helpful. Thank you.

[@mahinahmed2316]

well done..good work. i think the German accent is close to the Irish English accent...both of them are really nice...I love them

I thinks so too. I am german and I have some friends in ireland and we talked about this haha

[@mahinahmed2316]

+Rebecca Becker Sweet, I will learn German

[@MrMansionIV]

[@DC9FO]

Naja, kommt (nicht nur) aufs Alter an. In den 50er Jahren war Englisch an den Schulen nicht unbedingt das was auf dem Lehrplan stand. Trotzdem danach die meisten Englischunterricht hatten, haben viele wieder alles vergessen, weil sie es nie nutzen konnten oder wollten. Meine Tochter, 1980 geb., meinte, sie bräuchte kein Englisch, Mit einer Woche in London konnte ich sie dann vom Gegenteil überzeugen. :-)

[@Alan_Mac]

The 's' has two sounds in English. The one you described and also as a 'z' as in 'wise' and 'despise'.

[@thecommentingnoodle1086]

Alan Mac german has that too (as in wise) it's a" ß "

[@HesseJamez]

The German "S" sounds more like your "Z". Your "S" is closer to our SS or ß.

[@madnessbydesign1415]

Your English is quite good. The "e" at the ends of words like "horrible" is a remnant of French influence called the "silent e". It modifies the vowel before it, but is not voiced itself. Confusing? Yes. But English has many strange things like this because it comes from Latin, German, French, Dutch, and those are just the big ones. Your videos are always fun, and anyone who is offended by them needs to go outside more... :)

[@dkalbryte5715]

Most of my great grandparents came from Germany and 2 from Austria. My grandmother grew up in a bi lingual house hold. Her mother was from what was then The Austro-Hungarian empire below Prague therefore speaking Czech but her father was a traveling Lutheran minister so she would travel with him while young and learned German as fluent as her native Czech but also learned some Hungarian, Polish and even a smatter of Russian. Back when my grandmother went to kindergarten, she was sent home to learn English lol. Nowadays things are different. Gram could understand it and speak some- having lost it through school. Couldn't spell it only phonetically. Some people find it a not so smooth language but to me it brings back memories of learn basic German from my beloved grandmother.

[@NicachipalTJ]

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.

We do have the same three S sounds you do, we just use them differently. And sometimes arbitrarily. Because we're mean that way.

Native English speaker here, UK. You speak English better than many natives and I would also say you could be a translator.

[@SinthTeck]

About the "matter" thing... The pronunciation you're refering to is the american one. In the british english you can hear the ts, but you can't hear the r. It kinda sounds like "Mettah". Unfortunately most of the kids like you, who claims to be able to speak proper english, actually just learned it from american sitcoms or tv shows... Such a bloody shame.

[@SinthTeck]

+Brad Younger totally agree... luckily I'm italian

[@xijingxu5415]

I quite like hearing German speaking English - not from the aesthetic aspect but as also mentioned in video they just emphasize every single word which makes each sentence really clear. Also because of the lack of body language they usually need to express orally in words clearly , which requires a strong logic behind . this also brings good understanding of the conversation. I like it ❤️
