Where are you from and why do you speak so many languages?
ok I'll wait
Excellent, it's a date. Err, I mean tutorial. Although there may be some interesting logistical challenges involved.
Yet another Münchner reporting in!
At least other Germans living in Bavaria get the same rights and obligations as natural Bavarians
I'm from Bavaria, at least since the first of february
*I know only born in bavaria is bavarian, bla bla

Nononono, people need to use their accents more. There's nothing more horrible than hearing a German speaker without any accent. Language sounds horrible without a local flavour.

Loki, what's going on with the police in Bavaria. It's frightening (warning: disturbing imagery of a beat up people)

Obviously, Australian accents are the best, but what are some good German ones in your opinion?

I liked bavarian accents but I now associate some bad memories with it
so I switched to prefering austrian accents, I hope nobody kills me for saying this but they can sound a bit similar. all the other ones are kinda sucky :S (I'm so sorry haha)yeah german police is not really friendly either
I guess this shit happens everywhereI have NO idea. It seems they can't handly stressful situations of any kind anymore. The Rosenheim area seems to be the worst, but overall, I don't think you need to be afraid of the police over here.
My experiences with the police to date were all pretty relaxed.
A friend from bavaria pointed this out to me on the weekend. It's just unrelated incidents but fuck.
Yeah. It seems like the problems will be adressed now after the media jumped on it.

Where are you all from in Germany anyway? I know Raindoc is Austrian and Feedinghand is Mexican (and I am aware that Mexico is not part of Germany, before somebody says it...).
Australia is already dangerous enough without doing silly things like that
Dat Prussian...
You know who had an Austrian accent? Hitler!
why not start with C?

I hope so, yeah. All the cases are pretty difficult to disentangle I think, at least the ones I read somethin about.
Yeah, well... Austria isn't, either. I mean, it was, at some point, but today it isn't.

Sorry, I got a bit confused because you all keep mentioning the war.
The police have been notified of your subversive posts on the internet and will be dealing with you shortly.

(I actually had no idea what you meant and had to google ACAB to work it out)
Easy to get mixed up, seeing as there were several wars involving Germanies of varying sizes
Pray that the police isn't bavarian...

haha! that's so cute. maybe the police had to google it too ^-^
Ziviler Ungehorsam! High 5!
My family is Frisian but I was born in Bonn and grew up in Celle, Lower Saxony. Celle is presumably the only accent-free city in Germany, so accents are lost on me. I like them in small doses. My favorite would be baltic-german but this one is going to die soon. It's probably because so many cute old ladies speak it it's just so soothing. Can't even find a proper example on yt.

Dunno, it seems that the transition from learning C to Java is a lot more easier than the other way around. People coming from Java usually struggle with the idea of pointers and manual memory allocation.Australia is already dangerous enough without doing silly things like that
As far as german cities, I'd like to visit Dortmund
bvb got me interested in the city

Everybody has an accent, Fritz
A language is a dialect with an army and a navy.
P.S.: Don't mix up accents and dialects.
This thread moves so fast :O
Thinking of vacation for summer, probably gonna visit Austria because I REALLY need to go to Vienna and practicing the language is a ++. But if I go to district with my fellow people I won't even hear a word of it
I'm from Montenegro, and well I'm not exactly fluent in Spanish and Italian but have a lot of experience with both, from young age traveled a lot to Italy, watched TV in it, family member(s) speak it etc. Spanish I learned at conversation level just from watching retarded soap operas lol, but need some practice to get at level I want, and I'm working on it. Sad I didn't learn French though, 8 years in school and nicht. Had different mindset back then and was hard to catch up :\

I'm not quite clear on what you're arguing here. If everybody except your region has an accent from your perspective, then would you not have an accent from everybody else's perspective? Please correct me if I have an incorrect understanding of what an accent is. Something like "a way of pronouncing words particular to some group".

No, we all know that americans have no accent (except the crazy south people) and that it's just the normal way of how english sounds. Every other place has accents though.

Australia and Canada are the two countries with the largest proven reserves of Uranium.
The more you know.
Simplified:
A dialect is more or less a variation of a language, e.g. BE, AE, Canadian English, or, to be more on topic, High German (=/= Standard German), Bavarian, Saxonian, Prussian etc.
An accent is a variation of pronouncing a language because of deifferent influences, the most common one being an accent of non-native speakers speaking a foreign language.
not serbian, bosnian or ukranian? i'm disappointed
Ofc, I also speak Serbian, Croatian, Bosnian(99.999% same language for unaware), understand Slovenian and Macedonian(and Bulagrian since Macedonian is dialect of it really) highly, good understanding of all other Slavic languages, eastern more so than western ;D

one of the best shows i've ever seen was in Lindau, Umsonst & Draussen Festival in summer 2003.
the Beatsteaks had just released "living targets" (which i still love) and the crowd was fantastic.
it was an open-air show and Arnim climbed onto the balconies of adjacent buildings and did a frontflip from the top of a speaker-tower into the crowd. unfortunately not crowdsurfing using a surfboard, but still...
it was also the first time i heard "Hey Du" and think it's great, but my favourite song would be "God Knows" from "Living Targets".
Yeah, had to look it up but this. I think the English word accent has a broader meaning than the German word Akzent. That's what got me confused.

1/3 national park by area, extremely clean air, seemingly endless forests and greenery until you get into the cities. Also some great beaches on the west coast (although all the major urban centres are in the south-east).
EDIT:
And this is the view from a hill about 3 minuets on foot away from where I live:
