Hi all,
I'm not sure where I came across this video originally, but it's great for showing students the influence of English on the German language. Much like what we have here in the U.S.--Spanglish, in Germany they have Denglish. Students could see how many English words and their German equivalents they can find in the song. It's also a great way to start talking about cognates, false-cognates (falsche Freunde) and other types of loan or borrowed words. Enjoy!
