I speak English, Dutch and German, fluently, in school.
But outside school, I've learned extra German, as a teen, because I was a Tokio Hotel-fan.
So I used to read all the magazines like Bravo, Yeah, Popcorn, Hey, etc. and therefore, my vocabulary (and knowledge) became very Teen-centered.
So Josh is able to (for example) order food, buy a house, fill in the paperwork, ask for a refund at a store, etc.
But I'm mainly able to use slang, understand jokes about Bayern, make jokes about Bayern, come up with clever insults, greet people in the street, fill in empty spaces during conversations with loads of 'Ah ja, also, undsoweiter undsofort, hm, ja, genau, stimmt, nun ja, aber doch, so, kann sein, weissnicht, egal, schon klar" and speak like a teenager from 2010; 'Boah, mann ist das geil, das geht richtig ab, ich freu mich voll darauf, isso doch?!" and stuff like that.
Ordering a full meal in a restaurant without any stammering, wrong der/die/das-sen or any clearly-translated-into-German-from-Dutch-sentences, well...das geht nich', aba ich kann 'nen RiesenCoolen Rap krachen lassen und dann isses wieda Cool ne?
