Yiddish vs. German

This is awesome. It's a small experiment comparing Yiddish and German. The guy on the left is from the Ukraine speaking Yiddish, the guy on the right is from Bavaria (but having no noticeable accent) doing the German part.

I don't know how noticeable it is for people who don't know either language, but both are pretty close. Close enough to be mutually intelligble.

My favourite part is when they're supposed to be counting and cracking up over how similar they sound. And then the English narrator goes, "That sounds like bad English." :D
