50 Hilarious Reasons Why The German Language Is The Worst

German may be the most widely spoken language in the European Union, but let’s be honest – it’s just downright funny sometimes. We roasted French, so now it’s time for the German language to have its turn.

People around the world learning how to speak German have long struggled with German’s fearsome grammar, in which multiple funny words are stuck together to make more descriptive terms. This leads to things like long, aggressive store names and job titles, as well as migraines for tourists and expats in Germany. The spelling of these long German words is an even more sensitive subject.
