Denglisch for Better Knowers: Fun Birds, Smart Shitter, Hand Shoes - About the Authors:

Adam Fletcher is a 31 year old bald Englishman. After several years in his adopted nation, Germany, he’d consider himself almost German, were it not for continued inability to separate his Akkusativ from his Dativ and his plastic recycling from his paper. When not writing books and articles about his adopted nation, he mostly spends his days eating chocolate, and napping. In fact, no matter what time of day you’re reading this, there is a 87.4% chance that he is napping. Shhhh! He is also the author of the Spiegel bestselling book, How to be German.

Paul Hawkins is a comedy writer whose life-long pilgrimage to avoid a "proper" job has recently bought him to the Mecca of Delayed Responsibility that is Berlin. In between murdering the German language and apologising for himself, he is still shamelessly insisting on writing comedy books, scripts and articles.
