*Disclaimers*
1. The example speakers in this video have been chosen because they exhibit the highlighted accent features to such an extent that it is easier for the viewer to hear. If speakers with "less strong" German accents were chosen, it would be harder for non-phonetically trained viewers to understand the points in the video.
2. Not all native German speakers will have the same accent features (or these features to the same degree) as those in the video. However, I have taught many German speakers who do have accents similar to the those in the video (even young people and even people who have lived in England for many years).
3. There are many accents (and dialects) in the German Sprachraum. When a native German speaker from Hanover speaks English, it will sound different to someone from Salzburg speaking English. There isn't just "one German accent", but this video summarises some accent features that most German speakers have (either when they started to learn English or even now after speaking English for many years).
4. I have not shown all potential accent features that German speakers may have.
5. Some topics have been simplified for a general audience.
