À propos de cet audio
Ever tried learning German and thought, “Whoa, why so many weird endings?!” Meanwhile, English feels like the chill cousin who ditched all that drama.
Well, English and German? They’re actually super close family — like first cousins in the language world, both from the Indo-European Germanic crew.
But here’s the kicker: English used to be just as complicated as German, with all those crazy word endings and grammar rules. Then it went all “new me” and dropped most of that, becoming the smooth-talking language you know today.
Everyone knows about that grammar glow-up, but what they don’t talk about is how German kept sneaking in cool words and fresh ideas into English — stuff from science, tech, philosophy, politics, and even the everyday words you say without thinking.
In this episode, we’re spilling the tea on how German’s been low-key bossing English around — the secret family influence you never saw coming!
