Us, arriving to Austria to a tiny family hotel owned by an elderly lady
Us: speak only limited German
Lady: barely speaks English
Us:
Lady:
Lady: Czech? Slovak?
Us: Czech
Lady, to herself: Czech, that's a Slavic language right
Lady: understand Yugoslavian?
Us:
Us: yeah that works
#dad is better in German than us so he did most of the talking#with the rest of us the conversation was like 1/3 German 1/3 English 1/3 Slavic Mess™#the lady spoke Serbo-Croatian because the lady she's been employing for cleaning came from former Yugoslavia#I really need to get better at German tho

[Image ID: The Destiel confession meme edited so that Dean answers 'German politician who got fired on US election night was actually planning to destabilise the German government this whole time. And they called it Project D Day.' to Cas' 'I love you'. /End ID]

challengers twitter pointed out something very cool: art's coach speaking to him in german!
the subs says "just invite her to serve." (which doesn't make any sense? and art doesn't even go to her after that lmao?) but he apparently actually says "wirf den ball etwas höher." which means "throw the ball a little higher.".
so art knows what patrick's house looks like which means he went there, he understands when his coach speaks to him in german and he's the only one who can pronounce "zweig", a german surname, the right way.
art learning german for patrick and spending holidays with him and his family is canon, i don't make the rules.
#challengers#art donaldson#patrick zweig#idk if a lot of people actually noticed that but i didn't so!!#showing intimacy in such subtle ways... challengers knows how to talk to me#artrick#patrickart#artpatrick#“ZWWWWEIG” lol#anyway putting little nice things like this for non english speakers only to understand is so cool#this with germans#pensiero stupendo for italians#“l'oeuf” track (beach scene) being pronounced “love” for the french#to me; a french person; “l'oeuf” sounds more like “laugh” but i don't see why it would be called like that#and “love” obviously fits the track and their discussion on the beach wayyyy more so#anyway i love it#idk if i prefer art learning german for patrick OR patrick teaching art some german#art wanting to learn SO patrick taught him is the best i think

Ya know the english language is generally fine and all but y'all just don't have decent words for some german essentials
For example I will never not hate the english word for Brötchen
I mean I know if I say either bread roll or bun people are gonna generally understand what I mean but neither of those words actually encompass the full range of german Brötchen
To me this is a bread roll:
And this is a bun:
But both of those words do not feel correct for any of these things:
Those are proper Brötchen and calling them bread roll or bun just feels so wrong
#jessi rambles#german stuff#Brötchen basically just means little bread btw#another word that just doesn't have the same vibe in english is Eichhörnchen btw#like yeah squirrel is technically the correct word but Eichhörnchen just has a completely different (and more accurate) vibe

*grabs you by the shoulders and shakes you violently*
Listen to me, Irish spelling is logical and has rules. Your unfamiliarity with our language does not change that.
BuT tHaT's NoT tHe SoUnD tHoSe LeTtErS mAkE
Yes, it is! That is the sound those letters make! All you're doing is telling me you can't read!
#gaeilge#sorry saw someone arguing that irish makes no sense compared to english french and german#but could not be convinced to take into account that the main difference was their own familiarity with these languages

laying in bed, remembering that one of the ways people avoid saying "Scheiße" (shit) after they've already started saying the word is "Schhhheibenkleister" (der Scheibenkleister - the window paste/glue)

All I'm saying is anybody who thinks the Japanese animation industry commits uniquely baffling crimes upon the English language has not properly appreciated what it does to German.
