How to speak English like Einstein

A not quite serious clip about how to speak English with a German accent.

The Einstein recording is part of an essay called "The Common Language of Science". You can listen to the entire recording here:

2:43 The German accent

[jonathanbruch]

You're wrong, about me at least. The reason I'm here is because I really like and enjoy your skeptic approach to physics; the fact that you have zero respect for authority is refreshing!

[alessafeliciano]

I had never heard Einstein's voice before! Thanks for this gift, Sabine.

[MarkLucasProductions]

"German humour" Can't stop laughing. You are glorious.

[soerenraudonis]

I'm here, and I mentioned it before, because of your sophisticated sense of humour

[martinreddy]

I am a linguist and also Diplom Germanist. You have a very gentle accent. What distinguishes you is that you are a very fine teacher. This is a special talent. (You have a sense of humor about yourself, which is even more admirable.)

[veronikavasickova]

I'm here because I love your no-nonsense attitude. I'm from central Europe, but study in the UK, and sometimes I'm fed up by the constant struggle not to touch anyone's feelings or offend anyone's pride. It's refreshing to hear things said the way they are (or the way you see them, sometimes) and not wrapped in layers of (fake) politeness.

[jedswift]

Being a retired aerospace engineer your conceptual descriptions of physics and the fearlessness of admitting and confronting the unknowns and controversies is both illuminating and refreshing. Your pleasant German accent is just a bonus.

[andrewowens]

When I practiced the "r" sound, my cat actually looked at me like " what the hell are you doing"... 8-)

[bushmasterflash]

"This thing that looks like an integral" only a mathematician or a physicist would have said that. 😁

[nowhereman]

I watch all your videos just to hear you say, "Einshtein." I want to thank you for this video.

[HxTurtle]

4:26 frankly, I never before saw a German comedian doing anything only remotely as funny as your reaction to this commercial. your truly gifted in multiple ways, I've to say!

[jn]

For those who said, "A German joke is no laughing matter." Obviously, they have not run into YOU yet. Can't wait for your next one.

[maxime]

This channel is great on all aspects. The clear explanations of physics, the skepticism, and the humor always gets me as well !

[andie_pants]

My mom knew a German man who married an American woman, and back when I was a kid apparently the following exchange between them occurred:
John: I've been in America so long I've completely lost my accent!
Esther: Of course you have, everybody in America says _"vindshield vipers"._

[Dick_Gozinya]

I was a soldier stationed in Germany in the mid-eigjties, and as I was learning to speak German, I realized that when my buddy from Texas spoke German, he still sounded like he was from Texas. I could imitate a German speaking Englush pretty well, so I spoke German using that accent, and it worked. I was often complimented on how well I spoke German, even though I had a somewhat limited vocabulary, and I still made syntax mistakes.

[SaeedNeamati]

"German humor", that got me, lol

[illogicmath]

Thank you so much Sabine. I'm so depressed in my confinement but today you lifted my spirits.

[IanGrams]

Hmm, I gave this a try but now my neighbor keeps asking me for beer recommendations and why his engine is making a strange sound 🤔

[michaelblacktree]

Q: What did the German intelligence officer say to the broken clock?
A: Vee have vays to make you tock!

[PhiloYT]

Too funny. When I was 10 years old, I had a tremendous crush on a girl named Sabine. Now, 62 years later, it has happened again! 💖 Happy Holidays!
