And English sounds the same as Cree.
OK, Denmark. Even your current location sounds German, or Swedish. Y'all sound the same, your languages are barely different, the accents sound more different than the languages being spoken.
"Sounds German or Swedish"... Jesus, Capps... don't you Canadians have mandatory French back in primary school and at least some French linguistic influence in daily life? You have heard different languages than English at some point in your life, right? :lol: And, no, if you actually pronounce Danish it's very different than both German and the other Scandinavian languages. To someone with the ability to differentiate words beyond "something that isn't English", that is.
Differences of pronunciation means your language is virtually identical, you just say the same words different.

Your accent and pronunciations sounds different? Whoop Dee Doo Basil. Y'all sound like Germans, the same way many eastern european languages get mistaken for Russian, get over it. You might sound different to each other, not to outsiders.

The fact that you might just believe what you're writing, is almost funnier than the what you're writing. Have a nice remainder of the day, Capps. 8-)

Pretty clear difference actually.

That sounds... German to you? Anyway, does Babylon Berlin currently run on North American Netflix? Or is it on some other service?
It was shown by SVT here at first. Now S1-2 is on HBO Nordic. Don't know about S3 yet.

Yeah, but even to my ear, there are clear differences. German has a lot of that soft ‘z’ sound. Swedish sounds just like Russian, with the rolled ‘r’s and a lot of ‘oosh’s. Danish has a lot of the Arabic throat-clearing going on.

Perhaps this is why people like Capps think that the EU is turning Europe into one big homogeneous culture. If you don't understand that even quite similar sounding languages like Dutch and German or Spanish and Portuguese are different enough that they don't automatically understand each other then you probably can't see how different our cultures and traditions still are.
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

Well, this is embarrasing... I knew DR showed it almost a year ago. Didn't think to look if they still had the episodes on their site online. Usually shows produced outside of DR only get a very limited showtime online. Guess I can watch it, after all... :oops: :D

Either you didn't check the very first clip of the video, or you think English sounds just the same as German, Danish and Dutch. :clap:
