    It’s for those attending Oktoberfest. Cause if you’re intending to talk to drunk Germans, German won’t help you. You’ll need Dutch.

      TIL Germans speak fluent High Valyrian and/ or Klingon.

      Oh.

      You’ll need Dutch.

      Oh.

      Ooooooooh.

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

                I always think that Dutch just sounds like somebody speaking English in another room being heard through a wall.

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