      I’m also learning and was ecstatic when I understood it. What it is (approximately) saying is:

      Nexflix and chill? What is that? First speak in German and then tell me what are we watching on Jelly(?) today

      Achtung Zangendeutsch!

      Be warned that a huge part of the humour of this community is to use stereotypical English words and phrases and transpose them in the most ridiculous way possible to German.

      A good example for this idea is the name of this “language” – “Zangendeutsch”: it literally translates the term “German tongue” as “tongs’ German”

      The community [email protected] demonstrates the reverse: transposing German in the most ridiculous way to English.

      Do not use this community for learning German! Unless you know what you are doing.
