Sandra Bullock was born in Germany. Her mother was german so she can speak german fluently. In fact she went to a german school the first years of her life. So she knew exactly what she said. She thanked her mother for preaching her her whole life to always be original. And she was amazed that a person like her is able to be on this stage and to get an award.

Americans get criticized so much for not speaking other languages and when one does, the accent is totally picked apart. Granted, Sandra Bullock has more experience than just learning German; however, the comments here would make one scared to try to speak another language. I studied German for many years. My experiences in Germany and Austria were that the people were very complimentary and helpful with speaking German. If I said something that got the message across but I know had mistakes, they would still tell me how good my German was. It's a shame those aren't the majority of people who comment on here. I guess in every country, it is mostly the nasty trolls who comment. Thanks to the Germans who did defend her language. I would love to be able to speak German "that badly."
I'm German and I think she speaks almost perfectly!! She has a very subtle American accent, but more so a Bavarian accent :) As a native speaker you are able to spot very small mistakes here and there throughout her speach, but seriously, I would be so proud of myself to speak a foreign language as well as she does!! Liebe Grüße an alle :)
mountainman1977 the funny thing is that my mother's name is Sandra, and her maiden name is Ramseur, which may have been mistranslated in customs 5 or 6 generations back when migrating from germany
mountainman1977 Ramseur is a fairly common name in the Carolina piedmont. Blacks of the very same region these days have it spelled "Ramsue" quite possibly due to misspellings from their plantation owners last names post civil war.
To all the Germans: Isn‘t it super strange to hear her talking german with her real voice? It doesn’t seem to fit because we just know her german voice actress 😅
+Wohnprinz you would not hear an English accent while listening to a German / American person.?? You also mean you can not hear an English accent. ( an )
+Wohnprinz dann bist du aber sprachlich ne ziemliche niete^^, natürlich hat sie nen englisch/ami-akzent was nicht heißt dass sie nicht relativ gut deutsch spricht... hat du dass jetzt nur gesagt um den amis zu gefallen, oder hörst du da wirklich keinen akzent raus??? wenn es das zweite ist, aus welchem bundesland/region kommst du bitte? XD

@@1grammargirl Yeah, bilingual obviously, but she grew up in Germany and Austria, quite obviously she spoke German more than English, unless she studied some English speaking school. But I guess, living for a few decades in a country usually gets you to the level of a native speaker of their language.
Toxic Industrials Und durch die Besatzungszeit haben speziell die Amerikaner eine Verbindung zu Süddeutschland und auch ein sehr süddeutsches Bild von Deutschland. Für die Engländer sind wir eigentlich immernoch Preußen.
Sie ist übrigens auch die Cousine von Susanne Ramsauer (Politiker-Ehefrau). ;-) Und sie hat die ersten 12 Jahre ihres Lebens in Nürnberg gelebt, wie Kai schon ganz richtig sagte. :-)
She grew up in Germany until she was 12 - and her mom was German, hence no American German accent. Kind of like Kobe Bryant speaking Italian, as he grew up there too.
if you are german, that wont make you fancy her more. the people germans hate most are other germans xD but i actually feel like she should have used that in a movie. usually german in american movies is so bad, you cant even understand it, because the actors dont get the pronounciation at all.
@@PaulKretz Das sie so gut Deutsch sprechen kann. Ohne direkt durchklingenden Dialekt. Das hat mich überrascht und das ist fantastisch. Or fantastic^^.
@Anthony Meoli, Most U.S Americans can speak American (dialect), but many cannot read or speak English. Relying upon the Carnegie institute changes (phoneticisation) of the language to accommodate language learning for America's early Francophiles, Spanish, and Indigenous et. al meant / means that many U.S. Americans do not understand rules pertaining to vowel shifts. That is why absolute native English speakers can read books in Français irrespective of whether they speak the language. That is also why learning, say, Français takes longer for U.S. Americans.
@@elaine5953 No, its not. Its good german, but she is obviously not talking it that much. She gets several pronouns wrong and the pronunciation of her Rs is very strange. The same goes for grammar/phrasing. Some sentences are pretty strange.
Ihre Mutter war eine deutsche Opernsängerin und dazu ist sie in Nürnberg aufgewachsen, deswegen kann sie so gut deutsch sprechen. Man merkt aber voll wie nervös sie wegen dieser Rede ist. Finde ich persönlich sehr sympathisch.
Translation: Thanks. Thanks. Man! I am nervous, because my speech lies on the floor over there (actually she said "Sprache" which translates to "language", which makes no sense in this context, but I guess she meant a piece of paper with her "speech" = "Rede"). Okay. What great times we live in! At some point in the past I was a waitress, then I was a housecleaner, then I was a disco dancer, then I was a hairdresser for dogs. Who could ever guess, that all these jobs would lead me to this stage? - applause by the audience- But that is the best proof for this: Today's audience is that tolerant, even people like me get a chance. My mother always told me: "Be original, Sandra!" and that drove me crazy as a child, but now I understand: My mother was ahead of her time. Phew! And thank God she taught me that mentality, before she passed away to other worlds. So thank you Doctor Burda (founder of the award), thank you to my family, thank you Carolina, thank you Christina, Gabriela, Barbara, Maxi - go to bed now! Aunt Christel, uncle Heinz, thank you! Thank you all.
@@Geminixx-wo5ib I think HR1 and me translated it correct. Most likely she fell for a so called "false friend translation": speaking ---> my speech sprechen ---> meine Rede (not meine Sprache) All of her speech is grammatically perfect and I can hardly notice any misspelling or accent. "Oh, I am nervous, my notes / my speech lies over there" makes perfect sense to me in that context. So it is most likely, that she messed up just the one word. Edit: Aaaaand you can literally see something white looking out of a purse or something under her chair for 2 frames at :0:04. Probably the notes with her speech.

Unglaublich, nach dem extremen Erfolg im beruflichen Leben, ist Sandra Bullock SO extrem bodenstaendig geblieben! 👏👏👏👏👏 Ein toller Mensch und ein echtes Vorbild. Sie mag uebrigens Social Media kein bisschen. 😍🤗
Genau! Das hat ich mir auch gedacht ich bin ein gebürtiger Niederländer mit Wohnsitz in der Grafschaft Bentheim (Niedersachsen) und liebe Dialekten und Akzenten und Sandra hat ein bayerischen Akzent aber nicht jeder spricht Hochdeutsch und das ist auch gut so!
Sandra lived in Fürth (Bavaria) in the very same street as I did and her mother was singer in the state opera in Nürnberg (and as far as I know, Sandra sang in the childrens choir of the very same state opera, just like I did). It is odd how close some things are connected.
That is bull. She was born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia. Her mother was obviously of Jewish/German background--old photos of her mom show she was clearly semitic and dark. Sandra's dad was born in the USA of English ancestry.
She was born in Virginia but spent 12 years in the Nuremberg region and near Austria. Her mother was Christian . Many Germans are dark haired and have brown eyes, (even Hitler, Goring Hess etc. ) Be careful of racial stereotyping, it makes you sound like a bigot
I had no idea she was fluent in German! Does she dub herself in films for the German market? I'm surprised this had never been used in any American films.
TurboMyu ach Quatsch. Ich hoere einen leichten Akzent aus dem sueddeutschen Raum heraus. Ein paar Artikel falsch aber sonst echt gut. Ausserdem koennte sie es sehr wohl in einem Film gut rueberbringen. Spaetestens beim zweiten Take fehlerlos. In einem mehrsprachigen Thriller zum Beispiel. Arnie mussten sich die Amis auch immer im Original geben, und sogar den wollte man uns nicht verkaufen, weil es uns womoeglich aufgefallen waere das sich das mit seiner Stimmer alles halb so cool anhoert was er sagt. Dann koennten wir doch wohl maln paar Minuten die auf deutsch "ertragen".
Derukugi2 Yea was he never dubbed in US? The old terminator ones? Hard to imagine him being anything but ridiculous. Still he made governor of the movie state. And somehow those cool people from cali let him get away with it. I guess I'd find it highly amusing to have someone like him representing me if I was born there. But I thought irony is more british comedy? Whatever. I'm not even a fan of him or her. But she sounds better than he does in german and in english thats for sure. If there is ever an austrian woman in a hollywood movie, Mrs Bullock can dub her. Haha. They love their dialect.
+Biosman86 ich kann nur ein bisschen deutsch selbst - aber ich weiss dass wenn man nicht viel spricht oder keinen fernseher hat, ist es möglich dass es die sprache nicht entwickeln wird. ich habe angst dass das wird mit mir passieren. diese leute arbeiten den ganzen tag und haben nicht viel zeit um die sprache zu lernen.
+Biosman86 Steffi Graf hatte ja mal deutsch regelrecht verlernt. Sie sprach mit einem extremen amerikanischen Akzent und machte jeden Grammatikfehler den man nur machen kann. Aber irgendwie hat sies dann wieder gelernt.
Tis is native german. It's perfect. I don't even hear, she lives outside Germany. It's perfect. You can never learn it this way at school. It's got a melody, a colour, a warmth and a special strength. Beautiful and directly. This is an `fränkisch' accent. Touching heart straightaway. Whoever taught it to her: Perfect, perfect job!
Wow! Impressive! I would love to be able to speak German this way since my grandparents spoke it. Will have to learn and practice! And I love hearing it anytime I can!
or try Spanish hahaha every time I spoke German their feedback was slow down! hahaha she really surprised me with her German and accent! Sie hat es sehr gut gemacht!
You know the most amazing thing about this? She speaks German - with a Franconian accent. That's a region in southern Germany. This woman legit blew my mind.
Dude why to hell? Our language is just annoying to learn. So much rules and exceptions that hardly make sense etc. Furthermore nobody knows it except for us german bunch ^^ English can help you all over the world. Ithink if you want to learn a useful langage try spanish ^^
Phillsen Rockt German is hard and has many exceptions? Try Polish my neighbour^^ it's totally useless abroad and even we don't know exactly how to use it correctly sometimes. It makes German look like the most logical language ever (though English is still easier^^)
Phillsen Rockt Try Czech. Similar to Polish and Slovak, and just as useless abroad. I admire anyone trying to learn it. I admire my 2-year old son who seems to be learning it pretty quickly. The process is amazing to watch.
Nenthil English is just a modern form of German, it's very easy for native speakers in each to learn the other. English evolved from Angles and Saxon old German when they took over Britain around 800 - that why some many for the worlds are similar compared to even something close like French (which also influenced English but is much more different as a Romantic language.
Suri3 Oh yes you are right. Czech is by far the most difficult language I speak...and I speak German, English, French, Czech and Latin (in that order according to my skills)
Sie wirkt sehr sympathisch, im gegensatz zu vielen anderen Hollywood größen. Sie scheint sehr bodenständig und charmant zu sein und sie hat auch in einigen tollen Filmen mitgespielt. Hut ab frau Bullock
Sandra is a great actor. I have enjoyed watching her in many movies and now I find out she can speak German fluently! Just another taken in her box of tricks.
It is surprising to me how few people know that she is half German. Her mother was German and Sandra spent a considerable amout of her youth in Germany and Austria. So to me the real surprise is just that she still speaks the language well despite probably not having a lot of occassions to use it :)
It should be no surprise that Sandra Bullock would know German, since her mother was a German opera singer and she spent most of her early years in Germany
I've always loved Sandra, but this just makes me love her all over again. I have no idea what the hell she's saying tho. lol. It doesn't matter. She's Sandra Bullock.
Dafür, dass Sie eigentlich Amerikanerin ist, ist es wirklich erstaunlich wie klar und deutlich Sie die rede halten konnte, auch wenn Sie die tausend mal vorher geübt hat. Sie ist halt in Amerika geboren und aufgewachsen, da ist es dann auch natürlich, dass sie die deutsche Sprache nicht perfekt beherrscht. Dennoch finde ich sie einfach bezaubernd und eine verdammt tolle Frau und Schauspielerin!
Mar cel Geübt ganz sicher, aber man merkt auch deutlich, dass sie doch noch regelmäßigen Kontakt mit deutschen Freunden haben muss. Also als Alltagssprache schon amerikanisches Englisch. Ihr Deutsch klingt nicht so eingerostet so als würde sie doch bestimmt ein, zweimal im Monat länger mit Freunden telefonieren oder sie sogar besuchen (Maxi klingt nach einem Kind aus dieser Familie, das sie gut zu kennen scheint). Ich find's toll, wenn sie ihre zweite Muttersprache nicht vernachlässigt.
Sandra Bullock was raised in Germany (Nuremberg) and Austria (Vienna and Salzburg) for 12 years, and grew up speaking German, her mom is German " Helga Mathilde Meyer ".
I had no idea she spoke German. I spent one year in a a Gymnasium in Wien when I was 12-13, and was accepted there just like any kid. It's great to hear this. Another great recent video with Austrian German is on the jazz musician Joe Zwainul: ua-cam.com/video/uFPdg5lfH6s/v-deo.html Must-see if you love music- or people!
Amazing she is really fluent. Both her Grammar and her pronounciation are almost perfect, with a nice mixture of bavarian and american accent. She only made one obvious mistake at the beginning of her speech. She translated the word speech into the closest related german word "Sprache". To make it more tricky the verbs "sprechen" and "reden" are synonyms and both mean "to talk" or "to speak" but the nouns have different meanings. "Sprache" means "language" or in an other context the abiity to speak and "Rede" means "speech". I think in this case "Sprache" is a false friend and it is quite easy for a non native speaker to make that kinde of mistake. Who cares, I would be more than happy if my English was that good.
@@abigailc933 Thank you for the flowers, but I am quite sure that every native speaker would hear my german accent immediately and my english grammar is by far not as good as Sandra Bullocks german grammar.
@@thomasschrecker5396 I highly doubt the grammar part of your comment and I'm sure a lot of people would find German accent while speaking English charming.
sounds almost perfectly like an austrian to me. Specifically, an austrian from the northwest of the country, so very similar to Bavarian but without strong accent / weird words nobody understands.
As a native German it is really strange hearing her speak German in her actual voice when you only know her German dubbed voice. Her German voice actress has a way deeper voice
As an American, I always enjoy hearing people speak another language so well. I would love to be fluent in a second language. I can muddle through German, French, a bit of Italian and Hebrew. When I visit those countries, they’re very complimentary about my skills, but I know they’re just being kind. I stink. But at least I try.
Trying is plenty. I visited Poland and memorized beforehand how to say good mordning, please, and thank you. Every interaction was saying good morning, please and pointing at stuff. Most actually knew english, and the ones who didn't were very graceful and kind. I'll leave that as a general hint for the internet at large ;)
What??? How can she speak german so fluently?? I mean even her voice timbre changes a bit as she goes on speaking. ❤ Sandra is a genius. Good for her!!!
She looks JUST like one of my besties who is of 100 percent Sicilian decent. I am of part German descent because i had a German American grandfather and all i know how to say is Danka and Vilcomon.. i dont even think i spelled that 2nd word right🤣
don´t give up...I bet it is good...german is not an easy language to learn...Sandra was brought up in germany and austria, her mother was german...that´s why is is fluent :-)...love from Munich
I can speak and write 4 languages, but I hate myself for not having learned German. Such a fabulous language. Mysterious yet somewhat romantic. Am too old now, but will always regret not having pursued to learn German.
Ich bin Bolivianer und habe in Deutschland studiert und dort auch gearbeitet. Insgesamt waren es 10 sehr bereichernde Jahre. Ohne unbescheiden klingen zu wollen, habe ich die deutsche Sprache sehr gut gelernt. Eines Tages fragte mich eine nette alte Dame wegen meines Akzents, ob ich aus Holland käme 😂Das war schon überraschend ! War das vielleicht, weil ich Deutsch in Köln gelernt hatte ? 🤔

Ich komme aus Norddeutschland, aber ich kann keinen englischen Akzent raushören. Eher einen dialekt aus irgend einer Ecke Deutschlands. :D

I didn't know she speaks German as her native language. Now I guess I'll always be impressed when she speaks English fluently.
If your father is American and your mother is German and both languages are spoken in the home, then you grow up bilingual. It's not rocket science.
@@1grammargirl Yeah, bilingual obviously, but she grew up in Germany and Austria, quite obviously she spoke German more than English, unless she studied some English speaking school.
But I guess, living for a few decades in a country usually gets you to the level of a native speaker of their language.
Exactly so it's not that impressive. God knows why people are impressed that she speaks fluent German. It's literally her native language.
Wenn Amerikaner bzw. Engländer relativ gut/sehr gut Deutsch sprechen, dann hören sie sich so an, als ob sie aus Bayern kommen.

It‘s so weird because you would expect her to have an american accent but she has a franconian (fränkisch) accent
When she speaks Deutsche, she sounds a bit like a teenage girl though.
She grew up in Germany until she was 12 - and her mom was German, hence no American German accent. Kind of like Kobe Bryant speaking Italian, as he grew up there too.

Her mother was a German opera singer and her grandfather was a German rocket scientist. She was raised in Nuremberg and grew up speaking German.
She grew up speaking German, no wonder she is fluent. German is her mother tongue, actually, first language.
@Anthony Meoli,
Most U.S Americans can speak American (dialect), but many cannot read or speak English.
Relying upon the Carnegie institute changes (phoneticisation) of the language to accommodate language learning for America's early Francophiles, Spanish, and Indigenous et. al meant / means that many U.S. Americans do not understand rules pertaining to vowel shifts.
That is why absolute native English speakers can read books in Français irrespective of whether they speak the language.
That is also why learning, say, Français takes longer for U.S. Americans.
Her German, even for many native speakers, is excellent. She obviously came from a home where very good German was spoken.

I am nervous, because my speech lies on the floor over there (actually she said "Sprache" which translates to "language", which makes no sense in this context, but I guess she meant a piece of paper with her "speech" = "Rede"). Okay. What great times we live in! At some point in the past I was a waitress, then I was a housecleaner, then I was a disco dancer, then I was a hairdresser for dogs. Who could ever guess, that all these jobs would lead me to this stage? - applause by the audience- But that is the best proof for this: Today's audience is that tolerant, even people like me get a chance. My mother always told me: "Be original, Sandra!" and that drove me crazy as a child, but now I understand: My mother was ahead of her time. Phew!

@@Hosenrolle1 i don't think so
@@Geminixx-wo5ib I think HR1 and me translated it correct. Most likely she fell for a so called "false friend translation":

All of her speech is grammatically perfect and I can hardly notice any misspelling or accent.
"Oh, I am nervous, my notes / my speech lies over there" makes perfect sense to me in that context. So it is most likely, that she messed up just the one word.

Sandra lived in Fürth (Bavaria) in the very same street as I did and her mother was singer in the state opera in Nürnberg (and as far as I know, Sandra sang in the childrens choir of the very same state opera, just like I did). It is odd how close some things are connected.
That is so cool!
That is bull. She was born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia. Her mother was obviously of Jewish/German background--old photos of her mom show she was clearly semitic and dark. Sandra's dad was born in the USA of English ancestry.
Franken not Bayern.

Ausserdem koennte sie es sehr wohl in einem Film gut rueberbringen. Spaetestens beim zweiten Take fehlerlos. In einem mehrsprachigen Thriller zum Beispiel. Arnie mussten sich die Amis auch immer im Original geben, und sogar den wollte man uns nicht verkaufen, weil es uns womoeglich aufgefallen waere das sich das mit seiner Stimmer alles halb so cool anhoert was er sagt.

Nenthil English is just a modern form of German, it's very easy for native speakers in each to learn the other. English evolved from Angles and Saxon old German when they took over Britain around 800 - that why some many for the worlds are similar compared to even something close like French (which also influenced English but is much more different as a Romantic language.

Sandra Bullock was raised in Germany (Nuremberg) and Austria (Vienna and Salzburg) for 12 years, and grew up speaking German, her mom is German " Helga Mathilde Meyer ".

Such an amazing person. Love her.
Naturally. Her mother is a native German and Sandra grew up as a child in Nuremberg.
Really? Well, in that case it is not such a big accomplishment. In fact, her speaking English so well IS.
Amazing she is really fluent. Both her Grammar and her pronounciation are almost perfect, with a nice mixture of bavarian and american accent. She only made one obvious mistake at the beginning of her speech. She translated the word speech into the closest related german word "Sprache". To make it more tricky the verbs "sprechen" and "reden" are synonyms and both mean "to talk" or "to speak" but the nouns have different meanings. "Sprache" means "language" or in an other context the abiity to speak and "Rede" means "speech". I think in this case "Sprache" is a false friend and it is quite easy for a non native speaker to make that kinde of mistake. Who cares, I would be more than happy if my English was that good.
I can already sense that your English is that good.
@@abigailc933 Thank you for the flowers, but I am quite sure that every native speaker would hear my german accent immediately and my english grammar is by far not as good as Sandra Bullocks german grammar.
