“We are sinking!” is a commercial about the importance of learning languages and how important it is not only to learn the words, but also how to pronounce them ;-)
In the first part of the commercial, a German coast guard official appoints a new guy to monitor the ships. The officer leaves, and then a mayday call comes in:
Sailor: Mayday, mayday. Hello, can you hear us? Can you hear us? Can you … over. We’re sinking! We are sinking!
German Coastguard: Hello? This is the German Coastguard. (Allo, sis is se german coas gaad.)
Sailor: We’re sinking! We’re sinking!
German Coastguard: What are you thinking about? (Vat are yu sinking about?)
Luckily Germany’s coast is not that long ;-)
Thanks S. for sending the link. Sinking of you whenever I watch it ;-)
