hehe, funny video… but i guess this won’t happen in real because sinking is “sinken” in german and sounds quite the same 😉
furthermore everyone in germany starts learning english when reaching class 5, so most people speak at least a little bit english
btw: excuse me for my bad english 😀

Yeah, I know exactly what that is. When I first had to learn English (arrived in the US without speaking a single word), I’d end up giving “yes or no” answers to everything people said, even if it wasn’t a yes or no question.

Me: “Yes.”
C: “What do you mean?”
M: “Uh… no!” (thinking, if it’s not yes, it must be no!)
And now in Italy I’m working and of course I can’t speak Italian, so it’s pretty much like that movie (even worse).

Both think and sink are most likely to be pronounced in the same way by the Japanese cuz there is inherently no s – th difference just as in French. Also, r – l are mixed for the same reason.
