As a language enthusiast, I thought this was hilarious. Any German speakers out there to vouch for accuracy?

those are accurate, except for the sex one, which is still accurate but not the word that most people would use.

The pronunciation is a caricature of actual German though. The words may be right but the average German doesn't bark like that.

I had a week vacation in Germany and this was what I interpreted. So, I thought it was fairly funny.

I swear 'bratwurst' is the only German word you'll ever need to know.

I saw these wrongly translated Chinese signs.. Even funnier than the German clip.
