Her 30 Rock character Lemon speaks German in season one... Does she speak it in real life too?

She doesn't speak German. She just makes random noise that is supposed to sound German.

That's fake German?!

Those are German words. Ein Spatz (singular) means "a sparrow".
She says "So viele verschiedene (arten?) Spatzen!"

My caveat is this. German isn't my best language.

Doch ist das echte Deutsch!

Es bedeutet 'So many different types of Sparrows'.

Sehr lustig!

...aber sie begreift nicht was sie sagt.

Deshalb ist es so komisch

Sounds convincing to me. I imagine it would sound convincing to 99% of the people around here, too.
