A couple of months, then.

Signed for Dortmund in 2015 and this is him in January 2016, giving interviews in German.

2015 transfer window to Jan 2016 is almost 5 months ffs. Far cry from the 2 weeks. Not like he had much to do in that time anyway, football and learning the language.

Those are just the oldest videos I could find. That doesn't mean he didn't already speak German in the months prior.

As for the source, I recall reading it on voetbalzone.nl in a recycled story, originally published a German newspaper somewhere in 2015. It mentioned him integrating well and picking up the language remarkably quickly.

You have this bizarre obsession with him and can't seem to stand the fact he doesn't fit this all Americans are dumb narrative you've been peddling.

Holy shit if he learned German in a couple of months. German is a notoriously tricky language to learn for English natives.

You can't reason out a deep hatred and bias. He'll just hate us even more.

Imagine Obama saying one tenth of the moronic shit Trump has said

I wonder if the Right would have been as defensive of him calling anywhere a shithole or bragging about grabbing women by the pussy? You'd have had the brain dead Christian Right harping on about his lack of morality, instead of lining up to vote for him

People, in general, are a lot more tolerant towards someone they deem stupid as opposed to someone who's intelligent.

Or, as Dumby said, "People find it far easier to forgive others for being wrong than being right."

Then there's America (sorry LAGooner :( ) where 90% of the people don't understand socialism, where people are obsessed with race and ethnicity more than the other half of the world, and are more orthodox in their religious affairs than most conservative countries in the world. America still can't accept a female leader. Puts it into perspective.

Apart from those African countries (with dictators) and North Korea, I doubt any country would reach this far without impeaching or forcing a resignation from their Prez. This is shambolic and is only helping the media—guess who controls it—and those late night/daily shows with all the material against Trump.

And we're talking of the leader of the New World.

Bill Maher does quite a good job of trying to explain socialism within a capitalist society to the American public. But unfortunately he's wasting his breath

Meanwhile over here we don't have quite the same lack of understanding but we do have a dangerous level of public complacency and apathy which has allowed vast swathes of our public services to be franchised off to private companies, who decimate workers conditions and take profit out of the health, welfare, prisons, schools, railways, everything. Its scandalous.

Thing is, the Democrats are about as left wing as the Tories in the UK. In fact, even the Tories don't dare openly advocate for private health care.

They are raised on "Socialism = Communism" ethos, have you ever seen those 1960's adverts where they try to scare them about National Health care? literally showed Doctors packing up and leaving town. :rofll:

Your second point bugs me more than anything though.

I find it disgusting that both left and right in America bring up someones colour at every fkin opportunity, its taken over their media completely and this new wave of Militant Left wing activists that they are raising on their College and Uni Campuses is the stuff of nightmares.

They literally spend their whole lives trying to socially engineer society and go after the right at every opportunity causing chaos.

I find it hard to watch American news or sports show's etc anymore like First Take, I used to watch that show every week now I just can't, I don't want to hear about race every 5 fkin minutes.

History will look back on this era and dismay.
