The Awful German Language

The Awful German Language

by Mark Twain

Hear Sample Windows Media Player



If you’ve ever studied German (and maybe even if you haven’t), you’re likely to find this short essay to be hilarious. Published as Appendix D from Twain’s 1880 book A Tramp Abroad, this comedic gem outlines the pitfalls one will encounter when trying to wrap one’s mind around the torturous German cases, adjective endings, noun genders, and verb placement.

Humorless & Amateur, August 18, 2006
Reviewer: LOLDavid from Los Angeles, California

Rainer speaks English but has a German accent and he gives a rather humorless, amateur reading of this Mark Twain essay.
