Best Language Lessons EVER!

I really don't know where this post belongs. I've never before needed to determine the precise and exactly right location for posting multilingual smut.

I thought at first in the Language Program subforum, because it's a parody of language learning, but I think it's better here. I hope no one has previously posted this. It is absolutely hilarious! Be aware that it's *raunchy and off-color and for mature adult audiences* and therefore, it's exceptionally funny! Anyway, you've been warned

The original "lesson" is recorded in English and the subtitles are created by the audience. Learn some very useful phrases and practice your target languages!

Learn English with Ricky Gervais

And a few of the subtitled versions:

French

German

Swedish

You can find many more on YouTube. And you will be totally distracted from your serious language studies if you watch them!

Yes I watched this in several languages! Really rude language is so much more memorable - this could really work as a learning technique, but where can you use the things you've learned?

Quite by chance (I assure you I wasn't looking for it...) I came across a reference on
the net to something called "Sprachlernen mit Knackarsch Pitter". There appeared to be
versions for Polish and Spanish. I assumed it was some kind of spoof at first, but then
noticed references to verb tables and the like, so maybe it wasn't a spoof.


I didn't pursue it, but I was intrigued and very amused by the title, and wondered if
Ricky was in any way inspired by it. Or vice-versa.

"You can't request who's doing your sack, crack or your back because it's the woman in the back who does your crack."

That part cracked me up. :D
