“What an impressive feat. The German is even a bit too good, everybody who is fluent will know you've learned at a good place, but abroad, no actual German person is that clear in pronunciation in the first place besides newsreaders and teachers maybe,” tweeted user Jonathan Blum.

“Oh my god, is this man married? If he’s not, where can I submit my application?” user Jennifer Thurman tweeted.
