For example they might say that in German sentences they tend to put the verb at the end of the sentence, so a German speaker might say something like this in English: I am to town going. You can apply these errors to your character's speech to make them sound authentically German.
31. Mai 2021 · I'll have to practice writing it out to see what works out for me in the end, but the examples you gave are things I'll definitely keep in mind. I also had not considered whether or not she could fluently understand other characters' English, so I will have to play around with that too.
