In a video, a man complains about the claims made by some Germans on foreigners.

Stuttgart - The German language is not exactly easy: there are many different tenses, different grammar or difficult and long words.

Understandably, those who come from another country and want to learn German do not always find it easy - even some locals have problems speaking their own language.

Because the different dialects that exist in the federal states give everything its own unique sound.

Especially people who come from Bavaria or Baden-Württemberg are often hardly understood because of their dialect.

In the southwest, Swabian is even spoken on the train, which can confuse non-Swabians.

In a video on the TikTok platform, a man's collar bursts because of the demands on the German language - for which he is celebrated by other users.

Man complains on TikTok about Swabians who say he has to "learn German"

The man, who apparently lives in Baden-Württemberg, complains in the clip about the prejudices that many have towards foreigners.

Swabians would therefore often tell him that he had to "learn German".

"I'm going crazy, I'm going crazy," he says angrily.

"So I say, I can speak better German than you."

The man has been doing a language course for a year and is learning phrases like “Where are you going?” he says.

"And how do you say?

Wo gasch no”, he imitates the Swabian dialect.

“I study for a year: This is my cousin and my cousins.

What are you saying?

That's my cousin and my Bässle. "He doesn't have to learn German, but the Swabians, he scolds in the video.

"That's how it is": Users on the Internet show understanding for criticism and celebrate the man

However, the man's freak out on TikTok should not be taken that seriously.

It's supposed to be more of a joking note to all Swabians.

"I understand Swabian very well because my work colleagues mainly speak Swabian," he explains under the video.

A Chinese woman recently proved how well she can speak Swabian.

In the comments, the man still gets a lot of approval.

"Exactly," "That's the way it is" or "You're absolutely right," is what users on the internet say.

"Sometimes we Germans are just too picky about our language," agrees another.

Many users just make the clip laugh.

"I throw myself away," writes someone amused.

"You belong on TV," comments another user.
