Well, yes, but do you really want to insist on commas?

Usually I would give foreigners a little benefit in their use of the 
language, because it is usually difficult to learn a second language and 
therefore rude to requirre perfect spelling from a stranger.

English has actually German roots, too.

German is more or less a very big family of languages and also includes 
languages from the nehterlands or the Swiss, Italian, Russian and 
Romanian Germans.

Some historians also say, that a very early form of German was spoken by 
the Mayas.
