Today’s chat takes us to Deutschland, Germany! Were we meet Lindi Liza. Interesting when walking around Germany I became so accustomed to German accents wether they were heavily Germany accented with the “ich komma aus Deutschland” or they had a slight American twang to it so I could I easily navigate who the locals were.
