he didn't even TRY to have a German accent imlad Send a noteboard - 09/03/2010 05:53:28 PM
He just sounded like an aristocratic Brit speaking German words.

I mean, I'm not saying there are tons of people completely fluent in multiple languages. But I would think that particularly in such a central country as Germany, a good handful of that age group would at least have a basic "gist" of the surrounding languages. Compared to the US, at least.

I'm not saying it's the norm, but I certainly don't find it surprising in the slightest that a German can speak English and French as well. That's just the impression I've had, though, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong


And you'd be surprised how many people here suck at just learning one foreign language


The English spy apparently had a poor German accent in the movie, which caused him some trouble. Did you pick up on this, or was his German fine?
Death to the Regressives of the GOP and the TeaParty. No mercy for Conservatives. Burn them all at the stake for the hateful satanists they are.

For an entertainment admin, you sure are narrow-minded about some quality films out there. The Shrike - 08/03/2010 03:40:34 PM 698 Views
