That's good logic considering the nature of the languages, but here's
the problem I just can't see past:
Asuka's first language is German. Now since when have you ever spoken
to someone who speaks their first language that bad and their second
language that good? She hadn't out of Germany for that long, you
can't forget that much in that short of a period. And now here's
another question: Why did the writers choose to make Asuka German?
Sounds like they just wanted to sit back and laugh at the voice
actrice as their torture device was implimented on the her :) If they
really wanted to use some western language, just about any other,
besides Russian, would have been easier to speak. Just knowing she's
supposed to be speaking German, and hearing that horrible stuff come
out of her mouth is bad enough for me. At least I can hear the German
relatively smoothly from the English voice actrice.
