Comment on Why are there so many german communities on Lemmy?
misteloct@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 day agoFunny story about the language ability. I had a German friend in college. He had moved to America 1 month prior and never lived in an English speaking country. He had a perfect English accent and was overall better than some of my native born friends. I required proof of his German heritage, lol, thought he was making it up. And very bashful about his incredible language ability!
Recently I met a Dutch person traveling in the US for a week. He had a flawless Southern Californian accent, my friends and I didn’t believe him. His language skills were literally better than most Americans.
I can say the same about mant Indians I’ve worked with as well.
Blasted non-Americans and their superior education!!!
