This time, &#8220;Who is German?&#8221; is about the fact that you can sound German &#8211; even without knowing German.<br\/><br\/>In these 60 seconds, there is an impressive audio excerpt from the Amazon Prime series &#8220;Hanna&#8221;, in which two actors talk to each other in German.

One of the two is not only not a native speaker, but doesn&#8217;t actually speak any German at all &#8211; and yet you can hardly hear any difference!<br\/><br\/>In this &#8220;My 60 Seconds&#8221; impulse, Simone discusses not only the art and technique behind such authentic linguistic expression, but also how certain sounds and accents can provide deeper insights into a speaker&#8217;s identity and culture.  <\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"default\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSBoY2ItZmV0Y2gtaW1hZ2UtZnJvbT0iaHR0cHM6Ly95b3V0dS5iZS8tZFhaejUtTGFtNCIgdGl0bGU9IlNpbW9uZSA2MHNlYyAwMiAtIFdobyBpcyBHZXJtYW4\/IiB3aWR0aD0iMTA4MCIgaGVpZ2h0PSI2MDgiIHNyYz0iaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cueW91dHViZS5jb20vZW1iZWQvLWRYWno1LUxhbTQ\/ZmVhdHVyZT1vZW1iZWQiICBhbGxvdz0iYWNjZWxlcm9tZXRlcjsgYXV0b3BsYXk7IGNsaXBib2FyZC13cml0ZTsgZW5jcnlwdGVkLW1lZGlhOyBneXJvc2NvcGU7IHBpY3R1cmUtaW4tcGljdHVyZTsgd2ViLXNoYXJlIiBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4+PC9pZnJhbWU+\"><div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-a\"> <p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently viewing a placeholder content from <strong>Default<\/strong>.
