Re: Star Trek
Susi! What are you doing? I have a thing for English men trying to speak German anyway, and this was ... I'm done. 
Although he sounds a bit like a computer voice reading unknown words.

He’s got a dog. We go to the pub on weekends. I’ve met his mum and dad …
… and his friends and all his family and I’ve no idea why I’m telling you this.

Re: Star Trek
I think he could do better but he wasn't prepared for that. Maybe they should give him a nice poem next time. And I have the same thing for English men doing this … and then the voice …

Oh dear, it's hilarious! I know enough German to appreciate his effort. In any case, the whole video is such a fun

Re: Star Trek
An Englishman pronouncing German like French … cute.

Re: Star Trek
I loved this! It was so funny throughout. Clearly Benedict never studied German at school but he has a nice French accent! 
Did you notice the hint of his lisp iwhen he says hello to Spoko at the start? Oh and nice tie! Zoe was really good throughout wasn't she.

Re: Star Trek
You're doing it only in order to promote German as a foreign language, don't you?

Nothing serious.
Btw, what does "Don't split your infinitives mean"?

Re: Star Trek
For example, it should be: to go. That is the infinitive of the verb,
Star Trek is famous for its: to boldy go, therefore splitting the infinitive.

Re: Star Trek
Was at a meal with friends last night and the topic of the new Star Trek movie came up. I was astonished that the guy I was talking to, who is really looking forward to the film, had no idea that Benedict was in it! (He's a massive Sherlock fan too).
How is that even possible?!

Re: Star Trek
I was astonished! He raved about being excited about the new film and when I told him that, of course, Benedict Cumberbatch is the 'baddie'' he got all over-excited and started raving about Sherlock and how brilliant it and he is. He also had no idea what was happening about another Sherlock series so was really pleased to hear that they are filming now. Then he asked me how comes I know so much about it all...
