Cause if you’re intending to talk to drunk Germans, German won’t help you.

TIL Germans speak fluent High Valyrian and/ or Klingon.

Drunk Germans

You’ll need Dutch.

Oh.

Thwre is a running joke that Dutch just sounds like German but drunk.

The rhythm and cadence of the language just seems to match English much better than it does say French.
