This is a fun detail, for anyone that things English and German and Dutch are easy to learn if you speak one of them already. (Pronounciation is based on English.) 'who' (pronounced the same) in Dutch means 'how' 'Who' pronounced as 'woh' in German means 'where?' 'War' pronounced as 'wáár' in Dutch means 'where'(or 'true') 'War" pronounced as war (or wáár) in German means "(it) was" 'Was" pronounced as 'was' in German means 'what?" Was pronounced as 'was' in Dutch means 'was' or 'laundry.' 'What' pronounced as 'wat' in Dutch means 'what?' 'Wann' pronounced as 'w-one' in German means 'When?' 'Where' pronounced as 'w-eey-r" in German means 'Who?' 'Where' pronounced as 'w-eey-r" in Dutch means 'weather/again." 'When' pronounced as 'When' in Dutch means; 'getting used to-' 'When' pronounced as 'When' in German means; 'When-' (as in; 'When we do this, we should-") 'Why' pronounced as 'Weye" in Dutch means 'us' (and meadow) We prounounced as 'we' in German means 'how?' We pronounced as 'we' in Dutch means 'Who?'

@rw2890 I wrote 'Pronounced as' in front of it.

Exactly, if it wouldn't have taken time out of her speech-time, I think they should've continued clapping, just..for 5 minutes straight. Imagine standing there, you can see her mouth trembling in anger. I wish her all the strength and more that she'll need.

@dieprogamernoobs3837 Tell me that half and I'll make sure I sue my English and German teachers for teaching me wrong things. I'm here to learn, tell me. In detail.

@jayman1772 The 'who'/wo part was merely about similarities, not the exact same pronounciation or word. Same goes for most of what you mentioned :) It also depends on which accents (american, english, dutch, northern english, irish) are pronouncing the words. :) Thanks either way :)

@shadesofmist9214 I changed the won to wann, but I was talking about english pronounciation, not about German pronounciation. One is pronounced the same as wann. I wrote 'won' to add the W in, incase someone with an accent would lose the 'silent w' in the pronounciation of 'one.' You're the so-and-so-many-eth that tells me I'm wrong, but I put pronounciation in, not necessarily the grammar. All I'm saying is, when you're SPEAKING the langage, it'll be very difficult to differentiate between someone saying Wer (whether that be pronounced as wééýr or as 'where' or as 'we're' or 'wear') and many English speaking folk will think they're saying "where?' when in fact, the German will be asking 'who?'

@shadesofmist9214 Also, 'Aber das geht nur wenn die zwei da sind' is the correct use of 'wenn' and it sounds like 'when' and it means 'once/when.' I also put 'wann' in there. Feel free to rewrite it if you want.

@jayman1772 Well what can I say, some were and some weren't :P

@47DAF Yeah I know, I'm fluent in German. :) But I'm fairly sure I wrote it down as pronunciation, for English-speaking folk.
