If their financing runs thin, I think they could always look to the broader community to keep the house up and running. Best of luck to this awesome group!

I notice a lot of germans on TL do not like german english but the non-german people seems to like the accent. (ie Kahldor)

Khaldors german commentary sucks ... because it is half-english (and I dont mean the technical terms).

Germans do have some problems with other languages and are pretty stupid about it. An easy example is french ... which has a lot of "silent letters" in its words. So one cheese had to be renamed from "Bressot" to "Bresso" ... just to make us germans not say that last letter. Pretty stupid.

The main part of german accent is obviously the pronounciation of the "th", but the reason for that is mostly a lack of practice early on I think. We always have synchronized versions of movies and listening to native speakers of english isnt really something that is done. People are "unwilling" to watch a DVD with the original english sound (which is usually much better quality, because it doesnt come from a sterile studio) and thus arent going to learn the pronounciation.

We also have a bad tradition of inventing our own "english words" which no one else knows ... or do you know what a "Handy" is? The "Telekom" also has lots of different tariffs and ALL of their names are english ... So actually we love english, but are too lazy to really learn it and only include it in a way which seems "fashionable" to us (talking partially in english like Khaldor and all the other german casters do) without really understanding some of the words.

Perfect example of a typical German rant, Rabiator. Not quoteworthy though.

edit: Nice house. Sitting in the garden having BBQ sounds like fun!

How can it be irrelevant when I am saying that we germans dont really care about "accent" or "foreign languages" enough to try and learn them?

Very nice, I love the looser structuring of these progame houses, and how the people who are invited are already friends way before they were invited.

Great tour, seems like they got a pretty nice house there.

The interview was pretty interesting but its a little bit sad that he didn´t take the chance to ask naniwa and sase some questions altough they don´t live there.
