can you speak English

1:29

yes that's good do you speak English yes

1:33

I do you're just speak English very good

1:34

and how did you learn English I learned

1:37

in English at school but I don't

1:40

practice English very often so I don't

1:42

have to work in English and

1:45

that's why how did you learn English or

1:47

are you still learning English I'm

1:49

always still learning English yeah I

1:51

liked it at school okay and then

1:54

I learned it because I was in England

1:56

and um how did you learn English

2:00

um well I started in school okay and

2:02

then I picked a lot of that up in my

2:04

work actually so I worked in a lot of

2:07

companies where English was the

2:09

was a spoken language and after school

2:11

were you interested in learning more

2:13

English

2:13

yes kind of and what why is that

2:17

um

2:19

thank you

2:21

because of more opportunities I think if

2:24

someone is trying to learn English what

2:27

would you what tips or hints or Secrets

2:29

would you watch movies in English

2:31

listening to a lot of music and

2:34

understand what they're saying right and

2:35

what music were you listening to

2:36

everything rock and roll rap I guess the

2:40

best way to learn a language is to to

2:43

live in the country where you speak that

2:45

language or to have friends or a

2:47

boyfriend or a girlfriend that talks in

2:50

that that language so another another

2:52

source where I have another why I

2:54

learned English is I started watching

2:56

lots of movies and TV shows in English

2:59

what what tips then would you give to

3:01

someone if they want to improve their

3:03

English after school we'll dive into the

3:06

experience I mean um whether it's

3:08

watching movies or just um getting out

3:10

of your comfort zone and then being

3:12

confrontational about it and then not

3:14

really feeling uncomfortable about the

3:16

accent or whatever it is because in the

3:17

end the accident is something that shows

3:19

you that you're willing to go for it and

3:21

learn something so I think

3:22

it's really good to have an accent and

3:24

then you know that shows that you're

3:26

interested in different languages and

3:27

different cultures so I think just going

3:30

for it and not really being don't really

3:32

caring about like not really caring

3:33

about um making mistakes or whatever it

3:35

4:36

learn English

4:37

um my father was uh from America my

4:40

mother from Germany but I don't know him

4:43

and so do you think you speak British

4:46

English or American English

4:47

sometimes like this sometimes like that

4:50

would you say you speak American or

4:52

British English more American for sure

4:53

yeah yeah is it because of the band

4:55

you're listening to yeah do you speak

4:57

American English or British English

5:00

um it's a mix of both I guess and uh how

5:03

did you learn English

5:06

um I grew up in the states for a while

5:07

and then that's when I picked it up

5:09

really so you would say because I've

5:12

been asking most people what English do

5:14

you speak British or American English

5:15

and they don't really know

5:17

but with me probably be American English

5:19

and maybe this is an obvious question

5:22

now because of where you were staying

5:23

but were you learning British English or

5:25

American English Euro English

5:28

what is Euro English just a bit of

5:31

everything it's a bit of everything do

5:33

you speak American English or British

5:35

English do you know I think I speak like

5:38

German accent English so I speak English

5:42

with the German accents I don't know I

5:44

don't know in school we learn British

5:47

English I think do you need to use your

5:49

English ever for when you're in Germany

5:53

no not for my work not for my work to to

5:57

to talk to friends of course that live

5:59

abroad for example I have lots

6:00

friends in Denmark so we we talk in

6:03

English but um not for work purposes do

6:07

you use English in Germany a lot a lot

6:10

yeah more than German

6:13

because I work a lot in English how much

6:15

would you say you speak German as to how

6:17

much do you speak English like daily

6:20

um at the moment I speak English every

6:22

day because the girlfriend from my

6:23

roommate is from Costa Rica and she only

6:25

speak English and Spanish so

6:28

like

6:30

in the last weeks every day and it was

6:32

okay for you you were up for you wanted

6:34

to learn more English yeah I like

6:36

English yeah and and also I work in a I

6:39

work in the field where most of

6:40

literature was was English so and I had

6:43

to I had to learn a lot from the

6:44

internet uh meeting on the internet and

6:47

also the materials were in English so it

6:48

came quite naturally to me I have a lot

6:51

of different kinds of friends a lot of

6:53

like different friends from different

6:54

different nationalities with a different

6:57

background of language and the way we

6:59

communicate with each other is in

7:01

English do you in your time in Berlin do

7:04

you speak or in Germany do you speak

7:05

much English not really really I mean I

7:08

do have a lot of friends that are

7:09

bilingual but in the end I would say I

7:11

speak mostly German and of course you

7:13

have to be a bit cautious because

7:14

everybody uses that language

7:17

you know bends it in in a way but I

7:21

think English is exactly the language

7:22

where everyone does it with I mean like

7:25

it's not so easy to do that with

7:27
