Vienna. Just to give you an impression what we germans have to deal with when coming to Vienna. In a youth hostel, we woke up to this being said through a loudspeaker: "Gudd mo-aning, idds aid a glogg now, se yoos-hoshdl wui glose ed nine-a" We germans fell out of our beds for laughter, being sure no english speaking person would understand that.

5:12 - no, that's not the suebian dialect. That's just how suebians pronounce Hochdeutsch (high german, the german that you'll learn at school). When talking to a non-suebian, they are immediately changing to Hochdeutsch, which they are speaking so badly, that everybody thinks that this is the dialect. Suebian Hochdeutsch: Des isch e Äärdbäärmaarmelaad. Suebian dialect: Des isch e Breschtlingsgsälz. (This is strawberry jam)

It's interesting, German is a second language for me so of course I learn standard high German but I can understand a bit of the Swabian and Swiss German.

Es gibt lauter deutsche Wichtigtuer, die ihre Sprache angeblich nicht mögen. Man muss es sich vor den Augen führen: jemand mag seine Muttersprache nicht. Das zeugt ehrlicherweise nicht gerade von einem hohen Intellekt.

@csegura26There is a large population of German speakers in southern Brasil for over 200 years. They speak a dialect called Riograndenser Hunsrückisch which comes from the Rhineland area of Germany near Luxembourg.

German is not pronounced strictly and is not as aggressive as many people think
@JeromeHedemannHallöle i schreib grad schwäbisch diese Dialegd wird in der alldägliche Dialegd der in Schwaba gschbrocha wird. Mid Schwaba isch abr ned nur des Bundesländle Baden-Würddemberg im Süda Deidschlands gmeind, sondern au angrenzend Regiona wie der Südweschda Bayerns ond sogar a Deil Dirols in Öschderreich
aber ihr Amerikaner kennt meistens nur hoch deutsch das was ich jetzt schreibe hier ist auf hoch deutsch. Schwäbisch diese Dialekt wird in der alltägliche Dialekt der in Schwaben gesprochen wird. Mit Schwaben ist aber nicht nur das Bundesland Baden-Württemberg im Süden Deutschlands gemeint, sondern auch angrenzende Regionen wie der Südwesten Bayerns und sogar ein Teil Tirols in Österreich. 1:21
10:26 I assume you men not "behind" but "ahead"?
@Loretta2004It's wrong. The articles are not important and come automatically by using. The most important in every languages: Learn words!
@icelinxThe long words are so seldom! But it's always a topic of people who need excuses not to learn a language! 😆
@icelinx11:15 A note: Although "Platzangst" is colloquially used incorrectly for Klaustrophobie (claustrophobia), in psychology it actually correctly refers to Agoraphobie (agoraphobia), the fear of public places or large spaces, i.e. rougly the opposite.

@StefanSteingruberFunfact I am from Hannover, we have almost no dialect there (there is a small area in north Germany almost completely dialect free) and I was alone in Bavaria for a few months and the first person I talked with was a cap driver over phone. I did not understand anything and I almost started crying, cause I was afraid I wouldn't be able to communicate at all.
Btw the cap driver understood me quite well, it was just me 😂

@QuromoIch gehe in DIE Bar ... aber ich bin in DER Bar ... 😅
@ddog99Germanic and German is not the same thing. It a specific English langugae misstake to make. Maybe you only know English?
@alicelund147I have something for you: Platzangst doesn't really mean claustrophobia - but agoraphobia. When people tried to infer the meaning from the parts making up the compound, they ever so slightly got it wrong. The German for "agora" is "Marktplatz", or short "Platz". "Platz" is both "space" and "place" in English, so people believed that "Platzangst" means "fear of being closed in/fear of running out of space". Nah, it really means "fear of large open places". That mistake is so popular, that even specialists will uphold it. I guess Mark Twain has a point.
@mamfredvonclouseau8468English changed with french :D
@fusdwote4640Der für mich angenehmste Dialekt ist wienerisches östereichisch. Schwäbisch mag ich überhaupt gar nicht, noch hinter sächsisch.
@Ewald-EThey only want to migrate to germany because they get everything stoved up in their asses without doing anything for it.
