I would have rewatched Lola as soon as I was finished, but I saw it on VHS in German. My German was official classified as shitty at the time. It has since moved up to bad.
I hope to elevate my Japanese from "shitty" to "bad" someday. Maybe I'll even get it higher than that (a guy can dream, can't he?)
(it wasn't subtitled?)
No subtitles. I watched it in Berlin on one of my first trips to visit my then gf (now wife). I was just trying to revive some of my very old HS German.
I have to ask, do you ever wave a jelly donut around and shout "Ich bin ein Berliner!" just for a laugh?
No German has ever understood that joke the first time around. That's a purely American joke.
Well, if I ever get back to Germany for another visit, I will try to refrain from inflicting that on them. They are really very nice people, and shouldn't have to suffer the likes of me.
I was in Garmisch-Partenkirchen for 5 weeks of a 6 week language refresher course, and went out for karaoke night with some of my classmates. We all had a great time until one guy decided - after only one yard of beer - to try doing "Material Girl" with what he called "a Scottish accent". The Germans in the pub were very polite, but clearly disturbed, as none of it sounded particularly Scottish... and they weren't sure who he was trying to make fun of. One fellow came up to my embarrassed colleague afterward and said, "You have sounded like Korn tonight." The friend smiled and said thanks, and the German guy said, "We do not like Korn."
