We were watching Das Boot and there is a character in season 2 with not abysmal German but it sounds idk filthy. So I asked @thatfrisiangirlish what the hell is going on. The sentences and German are fluent but something is wrong here.
"His German is heavily impacted by English"
As in he's a native German speaker that speaks a lot of English. So I asked a follow up question
"That's what my mom means about me speaking differently?"
"That German growl is unmistakable in your English, yes. But you are coming from the opposite direction, so it's impacted differently."
I didn't even know/Notice it could have such an effect! Dangit(?) I guess that's what I get for trying for citizenship?
Jawohl, es ist, wie es ist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
