warning: listening to this could be damaging to your health

Let me introduce you to Mr. Oettinger, Germany's new EU commissioner for energy in Brussel. In the first excerpts, in German, he explains why he expects and demands every German employee, every craftsman and businessman, to understand and to speak English language: to read manuals, to communicate with international partners, and because it is the language of the future (hey Oetti, what has become of your Mandarin recently...? )

After that he demonstrates what that means in practice.



I apologize for any felt pain in the ear, possible ear damage, and the explicit accoustic cruelty. I cannot be held responsible for these consequences.

Muchas gracias to the German government for giving Germany a respectable voice in the world (Truth is, Merkel choosed Oettinger to get rid of him in Germany since he criticised her too much).

Even I, as a German, had difficulties to understand what he heck he was talking of.
