Today is something different. Listen to this for a while and tell me please what the German language sounds like to you?https://youtu.be/grQVN_XabKA&t=20How would you describe it? What would you rate it out of 10? What would be a 10? Do you understand German?

The cold winter is near. A snow storm will come. Come into my warm house, my friend. Welcome. We will eat and drink, sing and dance. That is my plan. We have water, beer and milk fresh from the cow. Oh, and warm soup.
>>128848002You're hearing Austrian German in the link I shared, but I chose a sample without a strong regional dialect except Austrian accent, which I think is among the best sounding German accents. Also, the German you know was actually mainly developed in the mountainous regious. The high in high German refers to altitude.>>128848029Der kalte Winter ist nah. A Schneesturm wird kommen. Komm in mein warmes Haus, mein Freund. Willkommen. Wir werden essen und trinken, singen und tanzen. Das ist mein Plan. Wir haben Wasser, Bier und Milch frisch von der Kuh. Oh, und warme Suppe.
>>128848048>A SchneesturmEin* Schneesturm'a' is actually Austrian dialect for 'ein', though :PI could write it in more heavy dialect, too:Der koite Winter is noh. A Schneesturm wird kumman. Kimm in mei Haus, mei Freind. Wir werdn essn und trinkn, singan und taunzn. Des is mei Plaun. Wir hom Wosser, Bier und Müch frisch von da Kuah. Oh, und woarme Suppn.
