Have you ever heard someone speaking dutch? it's like silly english.

Whenever I hear dutch I have a brief moment where I think I'm having an aneurysm and am no longer able to recognise my own language. Then I realise it's just dutch.
I was once visiting a dutch friend and I was having a Skype chat with some family in Denmark. After the chat my dutch friends goes "ghk hgk ghk. That's what you guys sound like." He thought it was very funny until I reminded him that he spoke dutch.

Norwegian rather than Dutch, but there's a grocery store chain called MENY that's advertising its single bananas with a sign that reads "SINGEL MEN LIKE GOD" — meaning "single but just as good"
I was also at the library the other day, and I couldn't help but wonder how a monolingual anglophone would react to the section signs looking like
In other words "nonfiction" and "nonfiction, children"
And I apologize to our screenreader using comrades for any inconvenience that may have come from replacing Latin A with Cyrillic A, I was just worried that the slur filter would censor the word.

Lmao what Dutch sounds like to English ears is what English sounds like to everybody else. Glass houses and all that

I've got a buddy who spent some time in southern Africa, and his Afrikaans impression always cracks me up. He says Afrikaaner men especially sound like angry vikings talking with mouthfuls of shit

I find it very funny that at the core of the anglo psyche is a very strong self loathing of their own germanic origins.
Self hating germanics validating anti-germanic stereotypes smh.
Have you seen all the shit the people of my Germanic origins have done? I'll distance myself from that as much as humanly possible thank you very much
