Your accent seems to be very close to native german and you do a great job pronouncing german brands fairly correct. Well done!

[justusdrath]

the first time i saw an native english speaker pronounce the german brands like a true native speaker after listening to the german pronounciation, WELL DONE!

[Wurstbrotlife]

This is why I as a German genuinely love the Brits! So humble, well mannered and simply interested in the information, it is super pleasant to watch. If you confront an American with all this, there is a good chance they will state "fake news" and go into rage mode.

Your German pronunciation is excellent, Dwayne. I'm impressed.

5:10 The way you brits pronounce Audi sounds like our supermarket chain Aldi xD

I am German and moved to Scotland. I spent 2 months of my life in Yorkshire too. The further north you get in the UK, the more the English sounds similar to German. In fact there are some pronunciations in Scottish which are more similar to German than English!
Example:
English: The daughter milks the cow.
Pronunciation in Scottish: The 'dochter' melks the 'kuw'.
German: Die Tochter melkt die Kuh.

you are just a humbled, calm, friendly man, its a pure joy to listen to your voice. thank you :)

The Jägermeister logo is a stag.
The cross and the stag are a reference to Saint-Hubert patron saint of the hunters, hunt, dogs and some others.

[RaoulKunz]

Yes, English pronunciation is *way* closer to German, probably because English is also a Western Germanic language like German or Dutch, just strongly influenced by Norman Old French and the "High" or "regular" English pronunciation is still pretty close to the Anglo-Saxon Germanic pronunciation, especially RP and Northern dialects while GenAm has a ton of other influences as well as an isolation from the continent.

Best regards

2:40 She is insured in Germany, which also covers all costs in the USA
6:15 Like the Italians, the Germans also pronounce every letter. Porsche not Porsch
8:23 What you mean are accents (é, è, à…) but we don't have them in German, we only have an "Apostroph" (also called "Hochkomma" or "Auslassungszeichen")
Fun fact: Adidas and Puma have their factories and headquarters in the same small town.

I am a 48 year old German and pretty much noone I know drives a Mercedes, let alone a Porsche. I know exactly two people who drive BMWs. It might be because she‘s from the South or it might be because I need some wealthier friends. All my friends have a bike and a bus pass.

I am German and watching this video from Germany. And would like to say that the commenter is a very likeable and pleasant person.

[Microtubui]

I can understand english aczent way better than american. in school we are learning the brittish english not the american so...

[vornamenachname]

It's unbelievable, but Adidas and Puma are based in a small town called "Herzogenaurach" near Nuremberg. Even if you hoped otherwise, the brothers didn't get along. It got to the point where the town of 24, 000 inhabitants was effectively split up, with one half (allegedly) barely speaking to the other, if at all. But things are said to have improved in the meantime.

[SuperWitch]

As a German I certainly understand the brits better the further north it gets. I like the neat geordie accent and in scotland they even got the "ch"- sound we have as well....as in Och aye the noo :)
From my personal experience english is much easier to understand than american english.

[benjaminbernhardt]

Love it how lost he said: "Haribo is from Sweden, What" 😂 <3

Adi Dassler and his company Adidas played a part in winning the 1954 Football World Cup. He had developed screw-on studs, which made the German team's shoes much easier to adapt to different court conditions. During the final against Hungary it was pouring rain, and Adi Dassler's shoes provided significantly more grip on the deep and slippery ground and were significantly lighter than the Hungarian players' shoes.

[DJGormick]

There are so many other big brands founded in germany like Bosch, Siemens, Würth, Engelbert Strauss, Continental etc.

Thank you for the video! It was so much fun.
