Sitting in a germans-only company on a germans-only talk, listening to german presenters trying to speak english.
"...And sis is a Integräitontest, witsch is verry important [...] sis here is my sird maven plugin..." schnitzel.

Why for god sake do you funky hip devs mean you have to speak english to me?! Especially if you are simply not able to?

Some of my favorites:
My english is not se yellow from se egg but I hope you understand me.
Sänk ju for trävveling wis deutsche bahn.

Someone has similiar sentences?

    @Alice it would be better if you spoke ostfriesisch, then nobody would understand you.

    My pronunciation is pretty shitty and I dislike myself for it. I am well experienced in using English, but I don't have any English friend to talk to.. and I'm shy.

    At least I try to better myself.

    @cave Same here. While many of my friends at least are watching series on english, I mostly read and write. So my pronounciation is almost crappy shit... But hey, everything's fine.

    Try being part of a SCRUM call where half the team is conversing in Hindi and you are one of 3 on-shore devs sitting there confused.

    "that is a different cookie" - a Dutch trainer trying to use Dutch expressions directly translated in English. I know context is missing here, but still. Don't directly translate expressions 1 to 1
