- Arnold Schwarzenegger celebrated his 70th birthday in July 2017 and spoke on this occasion with Guenther Ziesel in an exclusive interview for ORF III (Austrian Broadcasting Corporation). Arnold talked about his life, the political situation in US, his tireless fight for an effective solution to climate change, and about his humanitarian concerns.
The conversation starts in German and after a few minutes switches to English.
Anyone else came here looking for Arnie speaking in his native tongue?
Yes me here
Me too.
Yes me too I wanted to see if he still remembers his mother language and how he is doing it
I did. I wanted to see if he spoke Austrian or generic German.
yeah, it just hit me in another video of his:I never heard arnold speak his native tongue. and its weird hehe
I’m realizing that Arnold doesn’t speak English or German - he simply speaks ‘Arnold’ 😎
You should fix ur grammar 😎
@@mr.muffins2953 where's the grammatical error in that sentence? And even if there was, it doesn't take away from the point they were making
Its Styrian
Now that is funny !!!
@@yanhenghuang1017 "Arnold doesn't English" should be "Arnold doesn't speak English"
He speaks faster in austrian German than in English. You can tell it comes from the heart. Great guy.
it's almost like its his native tongue hmm
Meanwhile, the Austrians and Germans say when speaking German, he sounds like a "Hillbilly farmer".
His Dialect is so bad, they denied his audition to dubb the German version of The Terminator.
Of course he does hes austrian
@@nicolep3418 I understood him perfectly and I'm not a native speaker.
And his German is still horrible 😂 or at least not perfect
You can see how happy he is to be asked to talk in german.
It's nice to see him "out of character", not as hyper as he often acts
Yeah he won’t stfu
@@jinsakai409 hahahaha
@Amazing Me
Ich werde zurück sein.
Could replace "sein" with "kommen". This sounds more natural in German but literally translates to "I'll come back".
You see, it doesn't sound as cool anyway.
Trust me though: sometimes German is more epic. 😎
Axtualy its Austrian
He speaks German with American accent and speaks English with German accent.
nope german mit austrian accent ;)
@@logicsfinest3471 nope german mit austrian accent ;)
Almost like me, except my Austrian (German) accent whilst speaking English is milder. In my case, 35 years away from Austria have take its toll, for him it's been 50! :-O
He has an Austrian hillbilly accent and for that reason they didn't let him do the German dub for Terminator.
@@LAM_AUT_ECU ich bin Schweizer, hab das selbe Problem. Wohn seit 15 Jahren nicht mehr in der Schweiz. Man merkt es halt nicht , dass unser Akzent sich verändert gell
His voice has been created for German speaking
C est normal ...il est autrichien 😅
His voice has been created for terminator and terminator only him
😂😂
nothing wrong with that
Not german, austrian😉
He still has his Austrian dialect.
That is so cool.
Pretty much anybody in Europe has a regional accent
Yeah, he didn't move from Austria to the US until his 20s. By that point you have pretty much fully developed your accent and will never lose it.
@@SoloTravelerOffTheBeatenPath For most people yes. But Mel Gibson left Australia in his 20s and he speaks 100% with an american accent now. Same with Anthony LaPaglia who didn't leave Australia until his 30s and still you'd think he's from the east coast USA if you didn't know where he came from. It just depends on the person though. Linda McCartney (Wife of Paul McCartney of the Beatles) lived in London since the 70s and by the 80s/early 90s, she had a light british accent.
@@alonzotanner1226 literally didnt even know mel was australian
@@ashina5924 same here
As an Austrian, its awesome to see he still completely sounds like one of us😊🇦🇹
Funny thing is, the dialect is close to that of my Bavarian mother. It is so close that I understand him better than I do "hoch Deutsch".
As a Berliner, I want to go skiing and hiking in the Alps when I hear this dialect 😄
@@Andy90Bbitte bleib daheim. Wir wollen hier keine Berliner und Piefke.
Mr. Guenther Ziesel sadly passed away at the age of 80 last night. May this great interview with his good friend Arnold always remain as a heritage of his great personality and work! May you rest in eternal peace, Günther!
RIP
😔
RIP he lived a long life
Looked young for his age.
Oh no 😢
Someone who says „He speaks with american accent“ yes there is a Little Bit...but most of his German is Austrian Accent. Me as an Austrian...i can say that he has a very strong austrian accent.
How does it differ from standard german?
@@отпирайте
Pronunciation on certain sounds and words. Sorta like an American accent vs an English accent.
I’m Canadian but i speak some German (Not fully fluent), and his Austrian accent is very noticeable even to me, which is cool. I’m not used to hearing it, since most of what I’ve learned is from the Germany dialects; like people from Berlin.
He’s also got some Americanized pronunciation on certain shared English/German words too.
(What i mean by that is that some words are shared between the languages and are spelt the same, but they will sound different in their pronunciation.
He tends to pronounce those words with an American accent. As opposed to a German/Austrian one)
Austrians tend to have a much “Harsher” pronunciation on the sounds that make up the language. I notice it a lot with the words that end in “ig”, and his “ich” sounds.
he has infact a very strong styrian accent, which is a area in Austria.
I like it more than standard german, it has more character
@@cedddkkddkk i mog den Ösi Släng. Klingt irgendwie sexy.
It´s always funny to see when he is talking in german. First it is a mixture out of english and austrian accent. And the more he gets into it the more he sounds like the austrian he used to be
Yeah, true... I really enjoyed that interview... in both languages :)
his accent is like he never left A
@@mickadatwist1620 I don't think that's true. You can hear the english influence. It's subtle, but some of the accentuations are off and he makes grammatical errors an habitual native speaker would not make
Being bilangually raised, I can confirm. Intense austrian dialect, with some english words and pronounciation slipped in here and there. And in english, an accent he'll never be able to shake. Not that it's a bad thing, he is known for that after all.
@@MrGrinchest nope...the errors you hear are austrian dialect words ^^
took me a while to realise he wasn't speaking in english
Rofl
😂😂😂😂
@paquitos hammer It's Rollsafe
Keep in mind English is a West Germanic language, just as German is, so a lot of the words are going to be similar if not the same. Now, that doesn't mean you'll be able to understand it without having known a little bit of German beforehand
Same here
Cool hearing Arny speaking German.
Who doesnt love a good brain salad
I have no idea what you mean, I'm sorry if I've made myself seem stupid whilst angering you in the process.
Uhm, he's Austrian.
Not German.
He's speaking Australian.
@@Freakazoid12345 I really hope you’re being sarcastic rn
@@deathstroketheterminator3103 I hope that profile picture is sarcastic.
He sounds exactly the same in German as in English: Schwarzennegerish!

Dont be racist, saying the n word and shit
@@richardwang6334 Yeaa, give arnie a break.
This is the first time I've actually heard him talk in German. Absolutely warms my heart.
its Styrian, not Standard German.
@@ekesandras1481 It's German for sure. The dialect is Styrian.
There will never gonna be another guy like Arnold. No way. Not a chance. I mean... not even close! So much huge triumphs in one life is beyond amazing!
I grew up watching his films. As an adult he is my inspiration for training. And now my kids now he is the Terminator.
So true.
Rich of charisma...
very true ☝🏻☝🏻🔝🔝🔝🔝
STALLONE!
He is indeed a legend.
For me he is God
He can speak german😎
Achso du auch😂
he is an icon☝🏻☝🏻☝🏻🔝🔝🔝
Really ? 🤔
I'm swiss and he talks wonderful austrian german. its nice to hear him talk in his native language.
Maybe its just me, but when a celebrity speaking their native tongue, his/her appearance, presentation, and demeanor seems to be more genuine, truthful, and more down to earth. In other words, I like this version of Mr. Schwarzenegger.
I speak 5 languages. My personality differs a little depending on which I am speaking. But speaking in your mother tongue simply allows you to express yourself soooo much better.
That happens to everyone it's well known that your personality can change when you switch languages
@@Traveler-rf8ye I speak 3 but dunno why I feel more free when speaking in English
@@rodger3352 What's your native language? I've seen others say similar. Oftentimes it has to do with cultural associations one has with the language. I can't, but if I were able to speak German I feel like I might sorta be intentionally more measured/precise with my word choice just because of what I (think) I know about Germans. That sorta thing. Also it can do with the fluidity of the language either in rhythm, cadence or difference in grammar rules.
@@Taima yep I definitely think it's the cultural association as most of my life I've been exposed to culture associated with America and the UK etc.
Also because the internet is generally English friendly, So I guess now I just feel more comfortable with this Language :D
But majority of it again has to do with the culture thing I think.
Exactly 1% of the comments on here are about this amazing interview. 99% are about Arnold's accent.
It's pretty cool since Americans don't usually hear him speaking anything other than English.
Because no one knows german
@@Psych0technic AHAHAHAHA German is the 12th most spoken lanugage in the world, spoken by over 130m people.
i can't understand german. just car lexicology that's it
@Psych0technic as a Dutchie I understood 90% of this and German is my 4th language. Step your game up bro
70 years old here and still running on a full tank of gas. Infectious energy
“Everything is impossible until someone does it.”😁Arnold did it.👏👍
period
When you’re used to hearing someone speaking fluent English, as a second language, I really love hearing the flow of their voice in their native language.
Guenther Ziesel, you are a brilliant interviewer. I really enjoyed seeing this. I don't think I ever saw Arnold so comfortable in an interview. What came forth is astonishing in both honesty and true passion. Thank you for this gem.
Wolfgaenger Maybe because the interviewer looks a little like James Cameron? Lol
They knew each other beforehand. In the German part at the beginning, they're talking about having gone skiing and cycling together.
Wolfgaenger two Europeans sitting down for a talk 🇩🇰
@@JacobafJelling two austrians, two austrians from graz
Came here for the German-speaking, stayed for the amazing interview.
I was looking for this comment to upvote. Thank you.
I love how after all these years of speaking English he’s always more comfortable and excited to speak German
Arnold is like a Austrian grandfather I could never had, and I'm a Chinese living in Australia.
Ispirata Da Dio Australia or Austria
A chinese living in Australia,wants an austrian granfatger,why do you use an italian username
@@junichiroyamashita : Maybe username
You mean Southgermany
I had an austrian American grandfather, but he spoke no german
For 30 years this is the first time I've seen and heard Arnold speaking in German.
I am English and studied German to degree level, and try and at least read German a lot of the time. Like Arnold, I also emigrated to the USA, and for the first 3 years I lived here, he was governor or the state I lived in, California. It is fascinating to hear him speak in German, although I have a little trouble understanding his Austrian accent (I spent time in Germany). It is amazing to me that this guy learned English to such a level that he not only became a film star but also succeeded somewhat in American politics - for a while people thought he would become president (but because he was born outside the US that wasn't possible).
I really like how he says there's no such thing as a self made man. And he's right, we all have help, and we all help others.
He sounds like Arnold even in German, in conclusion he just has an Arnold accent.
wow Arnold sound like Arnold.... unbelievable.
Im a native German speaking High German only.
Its definitely easy to understand Arny but his Austrian Accent is definitely strong.
I don't know why this surprises me...
Yeah I also expected some high German and then he started talking and I just thought okay that's sounds exactly the same as in English. Wtf :D
This man is a walking legend! So humble and so realistic. No wonder he achieved so much.
Ein wirklich menschliches und herzliches Interview aus meiner Sicht. Sehr interessant finde ich die gelassene Einstellung gegenüber der jetzigen Politik in Amerika. Arnold ist ein sehr verbindender Mensch der gute Visionen hat der die Menschen zusammen führt und weiter bringt. Er grenzt keinen Menschen aus, das sollten sich im Netz mal viele Leute ansehen dieses Interview, die gerne andere Menschen ausgrenzen wollen.
Vielen Dank
Jürgen, exactly, stimmt vollkommen!!! Fur ihn ist das Geld und Macht kein Selbstzweck aber ein Hebel um etwas zu verändern. Nicht nur im eigenen Pool hinter dem Zaun schwimmen sozusagen, das spürt jedermann. Deswegen wird er als eine nonplusultra Persönlichkeit akzeptiert, als jener der beides in sich hat, Egoismus und Altruismus auf einmal. Schön ihn zu sehen in der heimischen Atmosphäre Österreichs. Danke, Herr Ziesel, erstklassiges Interview!!!
gutes statement von dir
Ihr Linke werdet auch weniger. Lerne lieber dein Gehirn weniger auszusetzen, Gutmensch....🙄
Trump weg, Arnold sollte ihn ersetzen
Accent and German aside, this is a terrific interview! I was absolutely stoked to hear Arnold talk so openly about all the support he's had throughout his life, and a person's responsibility to their own and others' lives.
Very sharp view of society from a man who is in just about every measurable way larger than life.
His german is perfect! As if he never left Austria. For the ones who think he has an accent, it's the styrian dialect.
I liked what he said about being “self-made”, we should be always grateful, I’m surprised to learn he’s a wiseman.
I am pleasantly surprised by this conversation. I only ever viewed Arnold as the Terminator. I didn't give his other accomplishments much thought. He is quite the humanitarian. I really enjoyed listening to him speak, in English and in his Austrian dialect. Thank you for your hard work!
Mr.Schwarzenegger you are a very good and honest and wise man. I respect you for that. I knew this about you since I was 12. Since Commando.
@Alex he'd slap you in the face if he read that
Commando was his first movie for me too when I was 12. Perfect movie for a kid.
Total arse licker. I like Arnie but for fucks sake get a grip of yourself
The one thing I took from this interview: if you want to be successful in life, you have to work your ass off! Arnold is an incredible role model for what a person can achieve if they really want to.
Arnold is a true inspiration and one of the things I find amazing from him is his English. It’s fantastic! And ok, he’s lived in the U.S for many years but learning a second language isn’t easy and remember there are many U.S immigrants who have lived in the U.S for many years and still can’t speak English. It’s just another thing that should be recognized.
In America, if you have big dreams or even medium dreams and you are a foreigner, you have to learn English reasonably well. Plus, it's not like theres a big community of German speakers in America where he can go live.
He sounds exactly the same when he spoke German lol
Sam Finoh both German and English are Germanic languages, so the accents won’t change much
@@lukasp5892 no, British English is the phonetic equivalent to an accent in german
@@Bittzen Except that BE is the "real" English.
LOL
Its still him so no wonder
It's really fascinating to hear him speak his native tongue. It's a shame you couldn't have just done English subtitles, I was enjoying watching the German interview.
It's so nice to see him getting more into the Austrian accent as he starts speaking more German
Great to see a bilingual interview, not everyone could do it :-). As usual, highly insightful and enriching to watch!
if you want to laugh your ass off, turn on the closed captioning. It doesn't translate, but rather makes English words out of their sounds. Fantastic!
Montage Matador lol
Lol....I did that as well. It's a bunch of gibberish in English.
“Justin mood copters”
“McGriff Dixie filled the small angle.”
As an Austrian, i gotta say his dialect still sounds the same like everyone here, the only time i could hear his American accent surface was by words like "Radtour" (Bike tour) at the "Ra" other then that he still sounds exactly like all of us
Dude is an absolute legend of a man. It is also cool he understands where his success came from, pretty humble.
Arnold ist eine absolute Legende von einem Mann. Es ist auch cool, dass er versteht, woher sein Erfolg kam, ziemlich bescheiden.
Einfach unglaublich was dieser Mann alles erreicht hat und was für eine Karriere er hingelegt hat. Höchster Respekt von mir an ihn, ich zücke meinen Hut.
It’s weird that foreigners call Arnold’s dialect „normal German“ when he has a really thick Austrian accent haha.
Dick wie ein Backstein. ( thick as a brick )
I am German and I never heard him speak german. But this isn't really a new voice anything new to my ears. The sounds are the very same when he talks in English. Fascinating.
Grüße ausm hohem Norden!
Really warming to Arnie, would be wonderful to meet him and speak a little Deutsch and English zusammen.
Southern Gentleman Deutsch, not deutsche
@@Cptblogh what ? What are you talking about?
His voice darkens when he switches to english. He turns into the Terminator.
Arnold Schwarzenegger has always been my hero and I'll vote to change the law in order to make him my president.
AMEN
I would love to see Arnie as Prez --- he would toss Commie Trump in prison and America would love him for that
Didnt stop Obummer
Stevie Wonder Lol.
That would be the constitution, not just a law.
Arni, what a decent, honest man. He brought me to the all day muscle sport. Getting self confidence. And, dont complain, change something..
I love hearing him speak German in this dialect!
Damn!! Even Arnold in German has a really strong accent lol
Fratbat Wayne
U speak german?
Nathan Cifuentes nope lol
Fratbat Wayne
So how do you know that he has an accent in another language??
He could be fluent , but you wouldnt know if you dont speak it , U mean his voice sounds the same , right
Nathan Cifuentes me no English
Ahhahahaah
So cool to hear Arnie speaking in his mother tongue. I love the sound of German. Beautiful language.
It's German with a very strong Austrian accent. ( like English with a Scottish accent etc. ) Some specific Austrian words as well.
@@Vulkanwanderer He cleans it up , but for a non-Austrian it still sounds quite strong.
A True Legacy and an incredible inspiration. Mr. Schwarzenegger YOU sir are an incredible human being.
Will Parsons 👅
What a personality!! Legend who inspired millions. Though he said he is not self made man , I would say he is self made and institution itself!!
Yeah, but he never forget people who helped him.
Love listening to him speak with his Dialekt. Understood it all. He should speak it more often. ❤️
He is more fluent in german. He can think faster in german, amazing.
i turned on english captions and laughed so hard i choked and fell off my chair
I now have a headache after reading the caption while hearing him talk.
😂😂😂 thank you. Underrated comment!!!
It’s like a random word generator. Hilarious!
Great thoughts and experiences sheared by legend. Thank you for motivation Mr. Schwarzenegger!
I came here to hear Arnie speak in german and ended up watching one of the best interviews ever. I can't help but love 80s action movie stars lol. Now Im curious about that new Netflix documentary about Arnie's life I may give it a shot.
Arnold is a man with a mission. He never wastes a day.
Great interview Guenther!
Thank you mister schnitzel for the advices
7:52 "conan the Babarian" or " Conan the Bavarian" 😂😂 a little Fun.
Klasse Interview 😉
I love hearing him speak German (esp. with the Austrian accent)! Wish he'd give more interviews in German! :)
He really did so much for the body building industry. In his early days it was pretty much non existent and nobody really cared too much for it.
Finally, a video of him speaking a language where his accent makes sense.
Brilliant, what a great guy. Humble, honest, wise.
so grand to see beautiful true reactions here :)
The auto-generated English subtitles at the beginning are hilarious on this 😂
I'm here because want to watch Arnold speak in germany
Most Americans have no idea how wonderful it is to speak more than one language. Many Americans don't even speak proper English...But that's an other story.
As Austrian i get the feeeling that if an American speaks another Language it is viewed like he is high intelligent. I am wrong?
Some people don't deserve one minute more of life.
Some men deserve a thousand more years of life.
Rare man, who speaks truth, and is just modest. Just normal. Like us.
I think his heart would be mostly in his native tongue given to him by his parents, grandparents. Most of us treasure the times speaking with our parents and grandparents ❤
Such a positive and inspirational individual. Love him.
I´m german and even I think it is wierd to hear him speak german XD
ich find des so krass Arnold Schwarzenegger einfach deutsch reden zu hören weil er jetzt ja schon so lange in Amerika lebt.. geht's nur mir so? :/
nein ich habe bnis jetzt nur seine deutsche sprache aus der 80ger gehört und dachte er kann es nicht mehr
Ich bin auch immer wieder überrascht, dass er noch deutsch kann und immer wieder geht mir eine Träne überm Auge wenn ich ihn deutsch reden hören darf 😊
it's hard to believe he did not forget his native tongue after all these years...
Es gibt Leute, die in Österreich geboren und aufgewachsen sind, und trotzdem kaum Deutsch sprechen -_-
Das ist mein Onkel ungelogen das ist mein Onkel ich schwöre auf meine PS4
German is a beautiful language.. It sounds so good to hear this language and the nasal tone makes it even more sweet. 😍
don’t kid yourself, german is one of the most ugliest languages ever
@@amarson2322 you know why you say its one of the ugliest languages? Its because you dont speak german. Thats why? I have met lots of people just like you. When they say they dont like the german language. its because they never tried to learn german.
@@amarson2322 oh shut the fuck up, moron. english is a germanic language too.
Man even after years of living in the U.S he hasn’t forgotten a thing when it comes to his native tongue
I seriously dont think hes forgotten anything at all in his .. 70 years hah
Best thing is he hasn’t even forgotten those who helped him achieve his dreams. Great example of traditional male that has honor and values.
@@AlexGraphicD His former maid and her (his ) son agree.
I LOVE seeing people speak their native language, it’s so awesome, different cultures are awesome❤❤
Came here to hear him speak his language. Was cool hearing it from him
Beginning of the video: Hey look, a video of Arnold speaking German. Let's play it just for kicks and see what it sounds like.
End of the video: I'm voting for Arnold Schwarzenegger. I don't care that he was born in Austria, I'm writing his name on the ballot.
Faszinating that he can still speak german so fluently, as if he never left off. I can imagine he only has little occasions to do so.
He moved to the US in his 20's it's impossible to forget your mother language at this time
@@sda3082 and he often travelled back home, he had his mother which didn't know English and also in California there are a lot of people with whom he had the chance to speak his native language, especially in Venice Beach.
Amen! Full time moms should get SO much more credit then they do. Way to go Arnold! 🙌 #preachtruth
Es hört sich wie ne Mischung von bayrisch, Österreichisch und arnoldisch. So cool das nach so viele Jahren in America er hat noch so ne starken Akzent wenn er deutsch spricht
Came here to hear Arnold speak German but stayed because it was a powerful message! Love Arnold
He is a Austrian so he speaks Austrian "German" which similar to the Bavarian German.
@Carlos Pana Cordoba I'm not, i'm Bavarian
@Carlos Pana Cordoba sure, how about you?
@Carlos Pana Cordoba Spanish is a great language, unfortunately I just speak German, English and basic Czech. One day I will add Spanish and French.
Speaking of Bavarian, there's a funny connection I made watching this as an American outsider. There's some recording out there that was made without Hitler's knowledge of him just having a conversation with someone. He had a surprisingly deep voice, and with I guess that coupled with the audio quality it makes me think that Adolf might've sounded something like Arnie in voice/accent if he spoke English. I'm probably way off base with that though.
Styrian!
I love seeing Arnold always being hyped to talk in German
I absolutely love this man! I think Arnold Schwarzenegger is a national treasure! He is a solid and good man. God Bless this man!
Subtitle doesnt help at all,
but listening to him is blessed enough.
So right on Arnold! Only the ones who cannot see the support and help from so many people think they are self-made men.
I was EXPECTING him to sound like a normal person speaking in a non-hilarious way. But it still sounds like an Austrian doing his best silly Schwarzenegger impersonation.
Would love to see him in a German-language film
Apparently he wasn't even allowed to dub his own lines for the German version of The Terminator, because his accent makes him sound like a hillbilly to German speakers.
GayCoonie Check out this interview from the early ‘80s, and you can understand why! ua-cam.com/video/z_OaPkR-rVs/v-deo.html
He has the 'Arnold accent' even speaking German!
Remember when he said he was training in accent removal? His accent is exactly the same as when he speaks English. It sounds like Arnold, no matter the language.
Never heard him interviewed in German👏...Yes, give God the credit.🙏Then work hard.👍
