Keith,

Is this perhaps why Europeans, despite being so proud of their own languages, speak English?

Ist das vielleicht der Grund, warum die Europäer, die doch so stolz auf ihre eigene Sprache sind, versuchen, sich auf Englisch zu verständigen?

C'est sans doute la raison pour laquelle les Européens, pourtant si fiers de leur propre langue maternelle, cherchent à se faire comprendre en anglais ?

¿Es sin duda por eso por lo que los europeos, tan orgullosos de su propia lengua (realmente intraducible), intentan hacerse entender en inglés?

È forse questo il motivo per cui gli europei, pur essendo così orgogliosi della propria lingua (effettivamente intraducibile), cercano di farsi capire in inglese?

Αυτός είναι μάλλον ο λόγος για τον οποίο οι Ευρωπαίοι, που είναι τόσο περήφανοι για τη γλώσσα τους (η οποία είναι πραγματικά αμετάφραστη), προσπαθούν να επικοινωνούν στα αγγλικά.

Je to snáď dôvod, prečo sa Európania, ktorí sú tak hrdí na svoj vlastný jazyk (ktorý je skutočne nepreložiteľný), snažia dorozumievať sa v angličtine?

Será por isso que os europeus, apesar de tão orgulhosos da sua própria língua (realmente intraduzível), procuram fazer-se entender em inglês?

To pewnie dlatego Europejczycy, mimo że są tak dumni ze swojego języka (który naprawdę nie da się przetłumaczyć), starają się porozumiewać po angielsku?

etc.

Ha, ha. Das Video war sehr lustig. Malheureusement, la plupart des Anglais ont de très mauvaises compétences en langues étrangères. :))
