I honestly couldn't say if I understood it as English, German or Scandinavian.

IKR? I've been trying to use correct pronunciation (because seriously, it's so much more understandable once you get that right) but I keep accidentally lasping into German. But then, as I understand it, this is English a couple of centuries after being invaded by Germans, and just prior to us being invaded by Norse. (Welcome to England! Our culture is entirely due to whoever was invading us most recently!)

Add a Slavic language and you'll have most of Eastern Europe covered too.

Well, I'm planning on Croatian, so yay! (Not for ages, though. First I have to learn Spanish and Italian, and regain fluency in German and French. Then it's on to Croatian and at least one Scandinavian language.)
