Speaking German!


Does anyone know if she already spoke German, or had to learn it all for the part? Amazing job!

She had to learn it according to an article about her in Entertainment Weekly.

I wondered the same thing. She sounds like she was already fluent...not that I would know. I don't speak German...hehe. Here's the article the previous poster was referring to.

I WAS COMING HERE TO FIND OUT THE SAME THING. I'm sad she didn't already speak it though. Snaps to her for learning it.

she did a fantastic job. she struggled a little with the longer sentences, but overall her accent was very, very good. certainly at least five million times better than kevin bacon in "x-men first class".

Hey,
I must say I was extremely impressed with her. Kudos.

But I also thought Kevin Bacon's performance was pretty good. I saw it in OV and seriously wondered if I had sat down in the regular showing (I'm living in Germany).

Haha I came here to find out the same thing and I'm totally impressed with her now. I lived in Stuttgart 3 years and learned to speak while living there and dont speak half as well as she did in this episode lol

Me too! I'm shocked to find that she doesn't speak German because she spoke it so well. I watch some German films and hers sounded close.

Just watched that episode! I am German and also I could understand her it wasn't great! Very thick accent! The girl whomplayed her girlfriend was a native speaker and/or grew up with german!
