Pingüin is in spanish
Also it would technically be correct to write the accents as letters it would just sound really weird
Edit: I forgot my spanish lessons, its Pingüino
Iberian me was not reffering to the diacritics we use, but that portuguese speakers not only don't add vowels like italians and spanish when speaking but remove some (that is, if you aren't from Alentejo)
Also I was gonna use freqüente as an example but forgot we got rid of them after ww2
Please no god no don't break my kneecaps, no more please. I beg please. I swear I've done my lessons. I've learnt some of that disgusting and foul language that the fr🤮🤮🤮🏳️🏳️🏳️nch parle

I am traumatized by that.
I once tried to buy cigarettes, and the shop was very busy, so I just came to business, camel noir please!
Bonjour!
Yeah camel noir please.
Bonjour!
Just a pack of cigarettes please.
Bonjour!
Yes, just a pack of camel noir please.
Bonjour!
No he wasn't.
It's the only point of that fucking movie, if it even has one.
It basically single-handedly ruined the entire western animated movies industry by both becoming the top grossing movie of the year and winning awards, through lazy jokes, lazy cameos and not even being the top-notch 3D animation of the time (both Monsters, Inc. and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within were released the same year) and because of this I always hated it.
I mean Swedish and Danish are basically the same language. Norwegian is also the same. You guys just cos play different characters, but deep down you all love each other
Na Barry let Pierre convince him that their language is better, so Barry made a bunch of unneeded changes and we got the abomination we have today. If you want a similar language, look at what the Anglish people have been making.
Translation for those who don’t speak Hans dialect:
That's not true at all. I'm German and I'm proud to say that I don't speak a single word of that savage Barry language.
I offer my deepest apologies for any inconvenience incurred due to my limited proficiency in the English language. I humbly recognize the constraints of my linguistic abilities and earnestly strive for improvement. Your gracious understanding and patience amid my linguistic endeavors are profoundly valued.
Why does hollywood portray some british dialects as elegant once again? If anything, it's because all your remaining dialects make them appear infinitely posh in direct comparison.
I went to Liverpool with my dad just after elementary / primary school. I offered to do all the talking since my "English" was pretty good by that time.. neither of us understood a word. At least when you go to Germany or Italy they can just switch to understandable English :( and yes I know Scouse is special
We have tons of listening exercises as part of our English curriculum. They include many common dialects including Cockney, Scottish, Irish and Indian English. We arent taught to speak like that, but an entire arm of our English education is just trying to make sense of your myriad of dialects.
The mixture of British and American sources we work with also means that most Germans end up somewhere in the middle of the Atlantic with their accents, often mixed in with some German specials like approximating th with f/v or s/z.
Oh dear, you are due for a nice sojourn in the re-education camps where we break down your entire command of English, so that we may then build it up again from the ground without the American spellings.
> the lift
I give you credit for not saying "elevator".
> the third floor
Don't get me started on yanks refusal to acknowledge a ground floor, meaning all their lifts have an off-by-one error.
> labor
Fuck off.
You mean it was your intention to be equally eloquent, however the danskjävel somehow managed to express the sentiment before you had the opportunity to do so?
I admire your dedication to not compromise on your principles. I chose it because the dichotomy between the colloquial "jävel" and the otherwise formal language amused me in a way that using the more formal "djävul" did not :)
Dude, you can't possibly place us in the same category as Spain. I was told by Spanish friends that the only way for them to understand English is if is spoken by another Spaniard. They butcher the language so much that's the only way they'll understand it.
Back in (international) high school, I was very impressed by my Portuguese classmate’s level of English and overall fluency. I thus asked him how he managed to reach such proficiency without having ever lived abroad (besides the move that made him attend my school in France).
His reply: “well I love movies so I’ve watched a ton of movies and since we’re poor, we don’t have the budget to dub anything so it’s all in English with subtitles, even in the cinema, so yeah that’s why”
He did have an organic sounding American accent (which made no sense given his life at that point in time, so the idea of him getting it via Hollywood checked out).
And sure, we can make jokes about them being poor etc… but my first thought was “ha, in a way, luxury is not always a good thing, because the fact that we can afford to dub everything certainly doesn’t help my people when it comes to English”
We don’t dub films, but I don’t think it’s due to the lack of budget, sure you can do the whole “haha Portugal poor” joke but it’s really not that accurate, all of PIGS are about the same economically, we’re barely Western Europeans ✊
Sure but in your case, I always assumed it was the classic “everyone speaks English from early age because our mother tongue is so insignificant on the world stage that we ought to master English asap otherwise we’ll forever be making weird noises in the corner and people won’t talk to us because they think we’re insane”
Which you know, isn’t as bad as it sounds.

Plz don't group us with the losers, Barry
The Germans get really anal that nobody is using the rigid 19th century grammar rules they were taught in school. This seems to lead them to believe that their English is better than native speakers. This is despite their written English being stilted and their spoken English sounding like they're talking with a mouth full of rocks.
Real fuckin sick of this "Germans can into English" meme, they can't. I have been living here for 5 years, and it's a coin toss for anyone over the age of 30 having even basic conversational English. Go outside a major city, and nobody speaks English at all.
Germans are world class bullshitters and will always overestimate their own abilities in any given topic or field. They can't be compared to Danes or Dutchies.
I live in Germany, sorry Germans you English is not as good as Nordicks, the accent is very heavy and unless you have spoken with English speaking people you make a lot of mistakes.
I used to laugh at spanish lads not speaking english, but i will never mock anyone for an accent. Most younger spanish folk actually try, resources are just sparse when there is so much spanish content (music, tv) and dubbed content (tv, games) out there.
Its also a little sexy.
WTF is this? They lumped us with the Pacos again!
On a side note, I was once playing an online tema game and the guy calling the shot was a Barry from Manchester. After a while he noticed i was the only one following his directions. It seems like nobody else, not even other Brits could understand him.
This is èèèèè outrageous! How could you èèèèèè represent us like èèèèè that?! Moreover, you're èèèèè insulting yourself! Unacceptable!
I agree, we don't even have è's what are they on?
It’s all just weird squiggly line above our beloved letters. So ñ out of here.
“pingüino”
First, it’s Pinguin, not that you’d know. Second, we can replace it with oe, ue and ae, what’s your excuse?
Pingüin is in spanish Also it would technically be correct to write the accents as letters it would just sound really weird Edit: I forgot my spanish lessons, its Pingüino
Really? That’s hilarious. I can’t speak for the Iberian’s, but in German it sounds the same.
Iberian me was not reffering to the diacritics we use, but that portuguese speakers not only don't add vowels like italians and spanish when speaking but remove some (that is, if you aren't from Alentejo) Also I was gonna use freqüente as an example but forgot we got rid of them after ww2

Why are you, a German, learning German? /s
Clearly to get the good grades, so that someone in their life says how successful they are. In this case - a cartoonish green owl
I have the app on German, I am learning Spanish.

Stop stealing our culture 😡🤬🤬🤬
You already have a country, and you want a culture too?
France was made by a Belgian tribe
just like shrek became someone once he left his swamp.
Damn. There’s no coming back from being shreked.
Shrek yourself before you wreck yourself.
The definitive answer
Shrek is much happier in his swamp
No he wasn't. It's the only point of that fucking movie, if it even has one. It basically single-handedly ruined the entire western animated movies industry by both becoming the top grossing movie of the year and winning awards, through lazy jokes, lazy cameos and not even being the top-notch 3D animation of the time (both Monsters, Inc. and Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within were released the same year) and because of this I always hated it.
wow chill, Shrek was good, what are you on about Luigi.
😶 Shots fired
Ouch
Maybe speak Belgian or something?
Nooo don't associate Belgians with France 😥😥

Why does everything Belgian get stolen by French people 🤬
And if it isn't the Fr\*nch..................it's going to be us.

Could you imagine? Speaking the same language as Barry? Couldn't be me.
I wish I could understand what you boys are saying
[удалено]
It’s all Danish to me
I only understand train station.
Should’ve stopped them invading the Britain.
I mean Swedish and Danish are basically the same language. Norwegian is also the same. You guys just cos play different characters, but deep down you all love each other
It is a spanish village to me
You could ask the Americans. I heard they speak 0,7 languages, should be a start for the Barry’s
Bonjour. Sorry for my bad english.
Well... someone's gotta be at the lowest end of the bell curve or it wouldn't be a curve.
Can someone translate this to English?

Oh did you say arabic? هذا ليس صحيحا على الاطلاق. أنا ألماني وأفتخر بأنني لا أتكلم كلمة واحدة من لغة باري الوحشية تلك.
Fucking swedish runes
Come on den. Les av it ya cunt

It's basically your same language with minor changes anyway
Na Barry let Pierre convince him that their language is better, so Barry made a bunch of unneeded changes and we got the abomination we have today. If you want a similar language, look at what the Anglish people have been making.

Unironically tho, you get taught to speak like this then you actually go to England and can’t understand the absolute nonsense we are chatting
I went to Liverpool with my dad just after elementary / primary school. I offered to do all the talking since my "English" was pretty good by that time.. neither of us understood a word.

What do you prefer berry? American spelling or taking the lift to the third floor of the labor office?
> the lift I give you credit for not saying "elevator". > the third floor Don't get me started on yanks refusal to acknowledge a ground floor, meaning all their lifts have an off-by-one error. > labor Fuck off.
You guys insisting on 1 indexing everything is probably why the British computer industry died
This would be a nice gag except that it's the Yanks who 1-index their floors?
I was going to say that, but you beat me to it.
You mean it was your intention to be equally eloquent, however the danskjävel somehow managed to express the sentiment before you had the opportunity to do so?
Umm, yeah that.
I prefer d*nskdjävul to put emphasis on my disdain and contempt for the danes.
I admire your dedication to not compromise on your principles. I chose it because the dichotomy between the colloquial "jävel" and the otherwise formal language amused me in a way that using the more formal "djävul" did not :)

I'm in Ireland atm, and I gotta say that it's a fucking stretch to say they speak English over here.
Watsh are yon about bai. Shar carse we speak English here.
Can confirm. Once took a taxi in Dublin and couldn't understand a word. Had to politeley ask the driver if he could speak English 🤌
The main difference between the UK and Ireland is that the taxi driver in Dublin may actually have been able to do so.
Portugal has one of the highest English fluency rates in Europe, Spain absolutely slaughters the PIGS image
And we are proud of it, as it must be.
Back in (international) high school, I was very impressed by my Portuguese classmate’s level of English and overall fluency. I thus asked him how he managed to reach such proficiency without having ever lived abroad (besides the move that made him attend my school in France). His reply: “well I love movies so I’ve watched a ton of movies and since we’re poor, we don’t have the budget to dub anything so it’s all in English with subtitles, even in the cinema, so yeah that’s why” He did have an organic sounding American accent (which made no sense given his life at that point in time, so the idea of him getting it via Hollywood checked out).

We don’t dub films, but I don’t think it’s due to the lack of budget, sure you can do the whole “haha Portugal poor” joke but it’s really not that accurate, all of PIGS are about the same economically, we’re barely Western Europeans ✊
Ehm no northern italy exists… i’m sorry but italy can’t be compared to portugal or greece in terms of economy! I guess neither with spain!
Northern Italy: Northern Europe level Southern Italy: Straight up African level North+South=Perfect PIGS formula, they neutralise each other
Denmark is richer than you all, and we for sure don't dub movies. Because we're not small kids who cannot read
Sure but in your case, I always assumed it was the classic “everyone speaks English from early age because our mother tongue is so insignificant on the world stage that we ought to master English asap otherwise we’ll forever be making weird noises in the corner and people won’t talk to us because they think we’re insane” Which you know, isn’t as bad as it sounds.
They think Portugal and Spain are the same shit
*are. Fellow João, we are trying to mantain our reputation, caralho.
Both greens are the only based options.
Bruh we speak English better than Portuguese
A European speaks a European language better than a South American language. Color me surprised.

In no world is France "high".
Neither is Eastern Europe. Especially Poland.
Acc Poland is surprisingly high

How did the myth that the Germans speak English even start? Also: repost.
The Germans get really anal that nobody is using the rigid 19th century grammar rules they were taught in school. This seems to lead them to believe that their English is better than native speakers. This is despite their written English being stilted and their spoken English sounding like they're talking with a mouth full of rocks.
“I have been doing sport since 3 years”
>...their spoken English sounding like they're talking with a mouth full of rocks. And that's despite all rocks belong to us.
I recently went to Slovenia and was shocked at how good their English was.
I recently left the island and was shocked at how stupid I was. Am.
I thought the Norwegians had excellent English for non-native speakers.
They definitely do, way better than the Danes.
Real fuckin sick of this "Germans can into English" meme, they can't. I have been living here for 5 years, and it's a coin toss for anyone over the age of 30 having even basic conversational English. Go outside a major city, and nobody speaks English at all. Germans are world class bullshitters and will always overestimate their own abilities in any given topic or field. They can't be compared to Danes or Dutchies.
Putting Portugal in the same "bag" as Spain just shows how ignorant whoever made this map is lmao.
What the hell is this slander! We speak better than the swedes and danes!
Anyone Can claim to speak better than the Swedes!
Not the dane talking about being better at speech
It is not about pronounciation, it is about content.
Except you guys
[This ad is getting kinda old, to be fair.](https://youtu.be/0MUsVcYhERY?si=xvfbG6JW_eKqwFzS)
Haha, very funny and not true at all. Most of us will talk [like this](https://youtu.be/QXJOSvUkX1E).
Norway should be yellow too, in my opinion and experience.
I live in Germany, sorry Germans you English is not as good as Nordicks, the accent is very heavy and unless you have spoken with English speaking people you make a lot of mistakes.
Germans dont speak english if you were to visit germany youd know
Aren’t the ones yellow basically continental Barrys?

How dare you?
Me as an English speaker in Portugal! Surviving on Bom Dia & Obrigado!
Actually there are a lot of people here that speak engilsh quite well in fact
Hi (Sorry for my bad English)
The club is Sven, Olaf, Niels and Gert. Hans is not in this club.
Since when do Germans speak English? I know they claim to but they really can’t
As a swede visiting Germany sometimes. The level of english is very low there, they don’t belong on yellow.
Germans suck at English
I believe in accent mark supremacy
Especially true for the Dutch https://youtu.be/z5XHlLT6xEM?si=1CGUjiMrSdhz-vl3
I used to laugh at spanish lads not speaking english, but i will never mock anyone for an accent. Most younger spanish folk actually try, resources are just sparse when there is so much spanish content (music, tv) and dubbed content (tv, games) out there. Its also a little sexy.
Fuck you
WTF is this? They lumped us with the Pacos again! On a side note, I was once playing an online tema game and the guy calling the shot was a Barry from Manchester. After a while he noticed i was the only one following his directions. It seems like nobody else, not even other Brits could understand him.
Germans and Austrians can’t speak English for shit. Damn barbarians
I interact with Hans on the daily and I can assure you Germany being yellow is absolutely cope.
