Yes BUT CONSIDER: the only ppl he can understand in German are Neil and Nicky, because they actually give a shit about pronounciation. (Well, Neil is debatable because he undoubtedly speaks German like a native and as someone who's spent almost a decade learning German intensively and has lived there for the past three years, holy shit is the native accent difficult to understand when they're speaking fast. But I digress.) Aaron and Andrew, on the other hand, do not give a single shit about how they sound or if their grammar is correct, because guess what? The only ones that need to understand are them three, it's even better if ppl who actually speak German can't understand them because of their horrible accents and pieced together sentences.
So anyway Kevin starts learning grammar and gains another thing to be pedantic about that everyone ignores him for (except for Neil, sometimes, who's petty and retaliates in the tried and true method of 'are you gonna sound French, Japanese or American when you speak German, huh, Kevin? Is it hard to choose? Is that why your accent is also shit?'
there's absolutely NO doubt in my mind that kevin has duolingo downloaded on his phone because at some point he reached his limit, tired of being left out of conversations, and started learning german in secret
