In dieser besonderen Video-Episode sprechen wir mit Janusz über seine Beziehung zur deutschen Sprache nach über 40 Jahren in Deutschland. Gemeinsam mit Erik analysieren wir typische Fehler, die Janusz auch heute noch macht – vom Konjunktiv bis zu trennbaren Verben. Dabei wird klar: Niemand spricht perfekt, auch nicht nach Jahrzehnten. Und das ist auch völlig in Ordnung. In this special video episode, we talk with Janusz about his relationship with the German language after more than 40 years in Germany.

And that’s completely fine.
