How foreigners learn the German language:
Red: They take German lessons
Blue: They listen to Rammstein

I remember times when they learned with Nena "99 Luftballons" back then - while i love the Rammstein guys personally, their german (pronounciation) is much too much Charlie Chaplin The Great Dictator http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09ITj4kRot4 - Schickelgruberish - but hey it sells... :lol:


recommened to watch: http://www.youtube.com/user/AlexandJim/videos
an american and a german talk in english about germanisms - and you hear how german really sounds when spoken normal...


btw. do ppl learn Slovenian too? ;)
