#Film
1. Miss Undercover (02. May, 2012) Just watched “Miss Undercover (Miss Congeniality)” as the warm-up for this challenge. I am a big fan of Sandra Bullock and have watched this movie (in English and sometimes with Mandarin subtitle) like hundred times that I can remember most of the lines. This is my first time ever watching it in German. I’m so used to Sandra Bullock’s voice that when I heard the dubbed German voice for her character, I found a bit awkward. Anyway, my familiarity with this film helped me a lot with picking up words, but since they always speak so fast in films, there were still many words and phrases that I missed. I’ll definitely watch the film again, maybe next time with German subtitle. 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

Sandra Bullock spent a lot of time in Germany when young and speaks fluent German. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s10x38SMb-g 1 person has voted this message useful | ||||||

My impression is that her German in this clip at least was quite good. My ear for accents still leaves a little to be desired, but my impression is that she sounds a little like a native speaker who has spent a lot of time in the US. 1 person has voted this message useful |
