Ostheer speak German??

[HyperSniper999]

I still would like messages telling a squad has died to be said in English, but it would still be awesome for the soldiers to speak German.

[PSIHOPAT]

Yes.I am one hundred percent agree with that

Messages to be written in english,and voices for soldiers to be their real language.

UK =>speak english
US=>speak american
USSR =>speak russian
Germany =>speak german

Can be found mods who make germans to speak their language.Developers are interested in that ?

But the world calls this English American. It's just an own slang, no offence.

Example: Austrians doesn't speak German, they speak Austrian. (It's German with an extreme slang.)

I was actually a bit disappointed by the lack of an English dub. I found the Germans able to speak English in vanilla CoH to be one of the most endearing things about the game, as it shows how witty the writers at Relic are (who can forget "Time for us to un-pimp zer ride!"). It's not like complete realism is why I play this game (I play Red Orchestra for that).

Ye, I'm German and I understand Austrian, just some words are unknown for me and are like self-creations of 'em.

You're right, same with English and American.
Isn't "homy" American and never been used in England?

While I have been following this Eastern Front Mod for a short while now and have played it a number of times, the reason I have registered here today is because I can't stand some of ridiculous claims being made in this thread here.

I do not wish to offend anyone, but let's be fair and honest for a moment in our bashing of America (I am Canadian born).

As an amateur linguist who is a student of German, I am appalled when I read posts wherein Germans claim to speak a better form of English than Native English speakers, as if it is because Americans are all slang using imbeciles.

Yes, there is some truth to it that in the sterile language classes we are often taught the 'educated' forms of language, and as a result, those non-native speakers of English might have a better understanding of the complex grammar than the native speakers themselves. However, this applies to all peoples, not just Americans.

When you walk out onto the street in Germany, do you truly believe that everyone is speaking a proper 'educated' form of German? To believe so is to be living in a delusion, my friend. Germans use slang all the time, and many of them do not understand the complex grammar of their own language, just like how English speakers do not of their own.

By using your own arguments, I could claim that I speak German better than you do, since I study it as a foreign language. However, the reality is that this is laughable, since of course I don't speak German better than you.

Furthermore, concerning British English vs American English and Austrian German vs High German: British and American English are nearly identical, with only very minor spelling, grammar and pronunciation differences. Whereas Austrian German and High German could arguably be considered different languages altogether, since I can't understand a word of Austrian German, despite having studied High German for years.


And no offense to any Brits either, but in many ways American English is actually more true and faithful to older forms of English than the English of London, England, implying more change has taken place over in the British isles than over here in the Americas.

Whenever I listen to British English, I am amazed by its beauty at times, and then a moment later am amazed by how much the slang of the layman has simplified your form of English.

For example: instead of using the original present perfect forms of the verbs 'to get' and 'to prove', like we do in North America, you guys in Britain have gotten used to using the simple past form.
 
"I have gotten" - "American"/original English
"I have got" - Modern British English

"I have proven" - "American"/original English
"I have proved" - Modern British English

So, at the end of the day, I must inquire, how is the English spoken here in North America a dirty and unintelligible slang when it in fact is more faithful to older forms of English than the one spoken in London, England?

I did not mean to offend anyone, and am sorry for going so off topic, but I want those who enjoy going on America-bashing crusades to think about this topic for a moment, and realise that in no country do people in informal speech speak properly. Thank you.

SO does anyone else understand why this guy actually posted all of this?

[iverieli]

Most of the people here who are saying "most Germans can speak English", aren't even German.

And those of you who are, you damn well know most Germans can't speak English worth crap...and those that can have that thick, heavy German accent where you can't even understand what they're saying.

The entire purpose of the guy earlier who posted the video links, was to show they are promoting the learning of English in Germany and for a REASON.

I was in Munich and Frankfurt recently and even the people at the airport could only speak the bare basics of English.
