I personally feel like I understand German-speaking people better the more I study the language.

E.g. my experience was that they are generally good listeners because their language has a sentence structure which forces the listener to wait for the most important information at the end of a sentence.

Bad Denglish to demonstrate:

“I have yesterday night… at the football field… together with friends … (dude get to the point) had a beer”

      Oh this made me think of another one: years ago I worked with kids and teens. sometimes they would fuck with my phone when I wasn’t paying attention to go on youtube but I would leave the keyboard on the kana flick keyboard which would stump them

        Ha! Smart! I once accidentally changed my phone language to arabic and was completely lost with the settings trying to figure out where are the language settings.
