In this video I will clarify 10 very common misunderstandings that German language learners of any level might still struggle with. None of which are about difficult grammar, hard-to-spell vocab or exceptions that no one knows about. It's all about simple things that seem obvious to many teachers but give students a hard time. Some of the misunderstandings can even lead to embarrassing moments. So better make sure that you don't miss anything and watch this video till the end.
And if you are you looking for self paced German online courses which actually get you results, you should definitely take a look at our homepage! More courses will follow. 😉

    • We are aware that this is not commonly used in British English. And actually English was just one example where this exists and might come from. It also doesn't mean that everyone makes this mistake or thinks about it. But fact is that exactly this question already came up many times. And one of the reasons for this is definitely the culture/language a learner comes from... 😉👍🙏

Dürfte ich fragen, wenn man keine Idee hat, wer man redet besonders eine Dame dass ich nicht kenne, was muss ich benutzen? z.B. Madam, can I help you? Or Sir, can I help you? In Asiatischen Kulturen, ist es sehr unhöflich wenn man kein respektvolles Ansprechen macht deshalb sind wir gezwungen "Herr" oder "Frau" zu benutzen.
