Interesting video I think. Thought I would share. Its in german though. Have fun.
This was a Dutch promotional video for some IT job thingy. It's fake.
Also; if you thought this was real; you have much to learn about Hacking. AND ALSO, FOR FUCKS SAKE, LEARN SOMETHING ABOUT THE DUTCH LANGUAGE. I am perfectly capable of differentiating many English accents, why can't you guys hear the difference between one Germanic language and another?
That was all.

Didn't know there was a differance. I shall not make the same mistake in the future.

I'm rather ashamed to admit my general lack of linguistic knowledge. We recently had a few German foreign exchange students come to my school and they amazed me. Their English was… well… better than most people I know. Then again, most people I know are idiots. But that's not the point. I'm 16 and I know English. They were 15 and they all could fluently speak English, French, German, and were learning Japanese. Now I feel like an idiot. Is knowing a few languages common in Europe? I know a lot of you aren't from the UK or USA, so I'm guessing it's a yes.
Oh, and Night_Stalker. You will not personally visit and call him a dumbarse. Hollow threats are annoying and a waste of everyone's time.
And now to bring it all together and keep this post on topic. Well… I can't find a way to say anything about the video that hasn't already been said so I guess I can't do anything to make this post on topic. Sorry.
[Edit- My English. Usually I know the difference between the "theres". Unless, of course, I'm trying to make a point about grammar.]

Better than yours? Their - possessive They're - descriptive Capital letter on nationalities, names, etc. :P

I think that depends where you're from and obviously on your interest in and ability to learn languages. For instance, I'm from outside the UK, my parents are from another country than what I live and grew up in. That means that I speak 2 languages as native languages (fluently) + English, which I also speak fluently depending on how generous or strict you wish to be. Also since English + another language is compulsory in school, that means that I'd know 4 languages if I weren't so crap at learning them. So basically, take that as you want about Europeans and languages, I've got to admit though that I'm horrible with language in general and can't really tell the difference between most when I hear them.

You… didn't know the difference between the Dutch and German language? Seriously, what do those screw-ups teach you on high school anyway? How to become a patriot?
I just can't believe that I'm hearing this,* not knowing the difference*, bah. It sickens me.

Tip: going through the alphabet is a good, easy way to get a feel for the accent. If there is a root language (like Latin), then by just paying attention you should get a feel for what a sentence needs, and how it should flow with similar languages.I should know more German/French, but I always put it off. I never have free time, and when I do, there is something I have to do first.
