I always believe that Arms has to fight for a German sketch just to remind everyone that he can speak German
-
As a German speaker I found this hilarious!😂
-
“And imperfect”🤣🤣 Finally I can use my 6 years of German education to understand something
-
Lol i was not expecting that German teacher ending. Great sketch as always

My partner spent 7 years in Germany, after which he came back to our home country speaking flawless English and nothing beyond a few words in German. That's the first time I heard of that 20-second rule referenced here. Germans want to see you struggle in their language for a bit but after 20 seconds they take pity on you or are frustrated at hearing their own language so badly butchered, and switch to English.

I applied for a job in a german speaking worksite on the back of 4 years of high school german. At the interview they asked me (in German ) if I spoke German. I replied "not really" in German. They said that'll do! At the end of the year's work I was almost fluent.

Hahaha, what a timing for this sketch, as I am currently on a business trip to Germany and just last night I was discussing about German language with colleagues! No matter how kind you are, German kids are Kinder 😄 Viele Grüße aus Deutschland! 🤗😘

Lads I know you don't really do tv programs but if you ever get asked for Taskmaster, please say yes
-
This is brilliant 😂 As a German (and linguist), I absolutely love it. Reminds me of that essay by Mark Twain "The awful German language", really funny too, but your sketch is funnier. So looking forward to the show in Hamburg. Have a wonderful day!
-
As a German teacher teaching adults beginners this was brilliant...
-
I’ve been teaching myself German and this is surprisingly accurate.
-
"After that the Germans are just gonna want to practice their english" - fair enough, I noticed that I tend to switch to english fairly quickly in a conversation with non-german speakers. So you got me there 😂
-
i'm gonna show this to my students on monday - and then i'll massively dissappoint them with the harsh reality that it's actually not that easy😂😂
-
“Perfect.” “And imperfect. You see, it’s all there, and so simple!” I love this sketch so very much.
-
Hoffentlich kommt Foil damit klar, dass er im November dann überall Deutsch sprechen muss, nachdem er so mit seinen Kenntnissen angegeben hat. :D Vielen Dank für diesen Sketch! <3

This is a comment for Emily S., the German subtitling superhero! Emily, if you read this by any chance: thanks a million for doing the German subs - if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be able to send this sketch on to EVERYONE in my contact list in the next couple of days! 😁🦸♀️ Also, Christine the Ravenclaw, if you happen to be around as well: a huge thanks to you, too, for doing all those German subtitles in the past. 🦸♀️❤

As a Ukrainian refugee learning German, I'm crying a little...
-
Did this entire sketch arise out of Arms trying to convince the lads to learn German with him? 😂
-
As an Irish person who grew up in Germany I just love this! Brilliant writing, well done 👍
-
This video was eye opening, even for a German! 😂😂 And, well, my absolute favourite, has to be Bürgermeister as well, never thought about that before. I'm working in a job where I have to talk to Bürgermeisters quite regularly, now I can never look at the again with a straight face 😂😂😂
