Great idea.
I just wonder how Flohmarkt is read by non-Germans.
Anyone want to state their opinion, their initial experience seeing the word, on that?I forgot its spelling the moment i scrolled past it.

That's not an issue for brands. German and Chinese brands are just doing fine everywhere with the possible exception of the two countries in the world where people are not exposed to other languages.

The latter. Though given the downvotes, I think people are either not smart enough to get it, or too smart and think I don't get it.

You just said what everyone thinks when they hear 'lingua franca' for the first time.

Not enough umlauts to count as easy.

Because more people speak it?
