Freddy is a lingophile. He loves to learn and speak languages. Freddy learns German and Freddy learns Japanese. Freddy even learned Spanish for a bit one summer. Of course, Freddy's love for foreign languages serves as an inspiration for some of his t-shirt designs. But Freddy is not writing to advertise today. Nor is he even writing to pass on Jennifer Laycock's latest SEO tips. Freddy is just going to provide some enjoyment for you today.
Freddy forgets how he found this video, but it made him chuckle the first time he saw it. It's in English, but there's a bit of German at the end.
Then there are the Berlitz ads. Freddy found this one a few years ago, and when he was teaching German, his students used to love it. (Unfortunately, though, some of them just said, "I don't get it")
Since Freddy is on the topic of German, here are some more. A few years ago, Freddy had the privilege of attending, and then hosting several concerts by Uwe Kind. Uwe is wonderful advocate for learning German and it is amazing how he can motivate even an auditorium full of very reluctant, self-conscious teenagers. Uwe is also quite a funny fellow and because of him, Freddy discovered clips of "Verstehen Sie Spass", which is a German Candid Camera type of program. Uwe first sent me this clip:
There are many more, and here are a few of my favorites:
and this one is maybe not quite as good, unless you can understand German:
So learn German.
Freddy could endlessly embed "Verstehen Sie Spass" videos, but if you are enjoying these, it is probably better for you to just search for "Verstehen Sie Spass" at YouTube on your own.
Oh, Freddy forgot his favorite one:
Of course, the Japanese spots are a whole different monster, but Freddy will save those for next time. Enjoy the German, and don't forget to come back in a week or so for more.
Freddy
