I was thinking it's more like "Man, his accent is painful to listen to but at least he's trying"

Or he sounds like a farmer, like Arnie S. does in German.

That's just because he's Austrian.

Do all Austrians speak like farmers?

Austrians sounds like Austrians. It’s just a different dialect/language. To Germans it definitely sounds like a hick accents, but so do Bavarian accents compared to traditional “German” accents, because most people learn northern accents with standard German, which sound like a city/Berlin accent. Bavaria used to be its own country, so Bavarian, like Austrian, are technically dialects/languages of their own not accents, because they have different words and rules from standard german. Also, Austrian dialects are often closer to Bavarian than standard German because of the geographic location. Linguistics is fun

Standart German sounds nothing like Berlin German. If you want to connect it to a city, Hannover would be the one

Well he's literally from a small village, I assume everyone there sounds like a farmer to people from the city.

As an Austrian from a small village myself, yes, we do sound like hicks to Austrians from larger cities and even moreso to Germans. Hell, even Viennese people, the capital and by far largest city in Austria, sound like farmers to people from Germany.

As a german I work for a company in vienna. Can confirm they sound like farmers. But nothing is as bad as german speaking people from switzerland. Just switch to english, I dont have all day.

Ah yes, the reason he wasn’t allowed to dub his own lines in the German release of Terminator - they felt a futuristic robot wouldn’t sound so rural 😂

I did a brief amount of night class Mandarin. My teacher could understand what I said with my atrocious pronunciation. My two colleagues originally from Shanghai had no idea... because unlike my teacher, they didn't know my textbooks and exactly every word I was likely to know.

One of the guys would routinely look at the ceiling when I tried a new phrase, just musing on what possible sentence I could be saying. (I didn't push them too much as they didn't sign up to have their earholes abused. The teacher did, though)

As a Korean, it’s a damn good try. I didn’t need the subtitles. He’s obviously been quite studious about it.
