Germans do not understand English!

Like you can see in the Ad-Clip Germans still have a lot of problems with the English language. A German coastguard gets in serious trouble because of not understanding the difference between to sink and to think. So what do you think about?

But it is an old fairytale that Germans do not speak English. While my travellings around in Europe I can figure out that the average of English speaking people is not the worst in Germany.  Did you ever tried to speak with a Frenchman English?

But so what, our pronunciation is maybe the most strange for your English ears. Laugh about that:
