I’m tired of putting the kant in “kannst du Deutsch sprechen?” when it’s like...ja, ich kann?? My German has been INCHING along over the years - maybe one of these days it’ll all click and I’ll come out speaking like a Club Maté sippin’ Berlin hipster who doesn’t want to be a called a hipster (!) or o0o0o0o, even better - one of those intimidating bouncers at Berghain who BARELY speak at all but when they do, you pay attention!? Jaaaa!!!

Get the Rosetta Stone deal here ➡️ rosettastone.com/damondominiqueyt *BTW* My entire language learning journey started when I was 15 (back when I was learning Spanish) and Rosetta Stone had a website called SharedTalk where you could chat with people in chatrooms who spoke the language you were learning. I was in there every day after high school speaking to people from around the world. Now like 10+ years later, TALK ABOUT COMING FULL CIRCLE! They reached out for a minute integration, but I was like...nahhh I'll do the entire video! I've always wanted to try the real Rosetta Stone.
They should pay you tripple after this video. Or at least realize they found their perfect brand ambassador in you who can make it look fun and easy. Funny thing I noticed is that your accent sounds more french than american when you speak german, especially the "isch 'abe" (ich habe). Great progess though. You are already fully comprehensible in what you want to say. The hardest part in German is at the end of the learning curve: getting real close to native speaker level without all the devilish details in word order and case inflections outing you as a learner is very, very hard. Good thing is: none of us super cool Germans will expect that from you ;)
What would probably help you most is hanging out with native German speakers and practice with them. After all, it seems to have worked wonders in your learning French. :) Here are a few general pointers: The sharpness of the letters "S" and "Z" in German is switched compared to English. "S" is a soft sound (Sommer -> ZOMMER) and "Z" a sharp sound (Zahn -> TSAHN). Furthermore, German words starting with "Sp-" or "St-" are always pronounced "Shp-" (Spiel -> SHPEEL) and "Sht-" (Stadt -> SHTADT). The German pronunciation of the often confused "ie" and "ei" is always like the second letter as a standalone in English (ie -> EE, ei -> AYE). And finally, if there is an auxiliary verb (Hilfsverb) or when you have a subordinate clause (Nebensatz), the main verb always moves to the end of the sentence or clause. Hope that helps a bit. Du schaffst das! :)
is this deal also for non americans orrr?
Damon watch Dark on Netflix! It’s in German! Now you can watch without subtitles!
@@silkentofu4218 I think so... it comes out to be 280CAD for me which is a significant discount from the normal 400CAD

I'm German and apparently I speak French with an English accent. In France they've repeatedly asked me if I was Canadian or English 😂
@@flopunkt3665 that's what I've experienced as well ^^
Teri, this is exactly that what I thought.
and its adorable
I‘m german and it‘s actually funny to see that you have a slight french accent. Guess you‘re really turning into a native french speaker 😂
Bisa FeFe hat mich auch verwirrt
Genau mein Gedanke!!! 🤣
Ich habe es auch gemerkt und fand es interessant
I lived in France for 7 years and Berlin for 3 and I always spoke German with a French accent since French was the first second language I committed to learning
Haha genau das war mein erster Gedanke nach 30 sek Video

Are we going to ignore his editing skill in the beginning?
💥BOOM💥
NOPE, IT WAS AWESOME!! 😩
As a German, you had me shook at 7:25 with your little “Tschüss”. That sounded so german, I’m proud of you! Just strain those vocals cords and literally put all the pressure on your throat and the second you can’t feel those muscles anymore, your pronunciation will be perfect
yoooo, voll! richtig gut
Ja, the second „tschüss“ had me shook.
I've been trying to learn a bit of german and I've lost my voice a bit lol.
I thought the exact same thing! His tschüss was so on point
HhAh
I'm kind of flatterd that damon thinks I'm cool because I speak german haha😂🥰 Much love from austria☀️
haha same
If germans can't fully understand what you are saying then you are not speaking german. Sorry, Austria but you are out
@@memento81 hahahaha savage😂😂😂
@@memento81 but swiss is wayyy harder to understand
Sarah Engel as an austrian living in switzerland rn i can 100% confirm this

I love you Tarek ❤. A fan from Jamaica.
Omg I love your vids! I hope you and Damon make a video together one day!
As a "cool" German, I've really enjoyed this video 😎
goal in life is be like your german speakers
I love how he says "isch" instead of ich
wait is that not how u say it 🤭🤣
@@damondominique Kind of but the "ch" part is more like a short, cat hissing sound
@@damondominique It depends on which part of Germany you're in. I learned to say it with the "ch" hissed like a cat, but when I went to Mannheim, everyone there pronounced it more like how you say it as "isch." Hoch Deutsch is "ch" like a cat, but it really depends what you're going for
@@damondominique french ppl speaking german also say "isch" so no problem :D but we like to hiss like cats
Damon Dominique my teacher said try saying it like you’d say “human”
“ I haven’t gotten to emergency situations yet” omgg I’m dying lmaooooo
can we take a moment to appreciate how adorable 19 year old Damon was
Get ready for when „der“ becomes „den“, „dem“ and „des“. That’s the real struggle. Not even germans get it right every time
but he's been learning for 3 years i'm sure he already got there 🙈
@@xx-hh4fe nah I've been living in Germany for 5 years now and BRUH its the most complicated shit ever like I still don't get it - _ -
im (kinda) german and i'm aware it's hard for people but germans do get it right most of the time hahah:)
I’m learning German and have problems with this grammar
@@Aomame_love Good luck !!!!
I have never heard a non native speaker say the word “Tschüß” even half as authentically German as you did at 7:25
Damon, I just want to let you know I watched your whole Netherlands documentary last night and I was soooo sad it was over! You have such a talent for captivating audiences for a long period of time. Please do more of those when you can andddddd now I’m going to binge the rest of your videos 😁
I agree! Please do more of those documentary vids!
That video was actually what got me into his channel aswell. He's great ! :D
There's something weirdly satisfying about hearing you speak german. You're actually doing such a great job! I'm proud like a german Oma.
what i love about rosetta stone is that it doesn't have you translate into your native language or vice versa, so you're actually learning the language and not how to translate into it.
1:51 not gonna lie this can of beans made me real nervous for a second getting some war flashbacks to your cooking video here
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Funny thing is when you're speaking german you sound like a native french speaking person!
As a german I could easily understand you without the subtitles :) so you're doing great! Keep learning, it's a hard language but you can do it!
That french accent is very cute 🥺 aber das war echt nicht schlecht!!!
thank you for validating my existence as a German learner and saying we're cool bc all my friends make fun of me😂😅😭
I love that you have a French accent when speaking German
“You see how German is basically English?” 14 years of learning German later and you couldn’t be more wrong 😂😂
your german is really good! I am german so its easy for me but I can imagine how hard it is for beginners...
Damons cooking skills making a guest appearance when he eats beans from a strainer
The 'cool germans' thing is something I can totally relate to! I am a Colombian who has the privilege of speaking English fluently, can sustain a conversation in French as long as I can answer back in Spanish or English (if that makes sense), and who's learning German. All of these sets a compound of advantages that have allowed me to easily meet people and make friends while traveling in my own country where is rare to find someone who speaks English even at a basic level. Germans and Franchutes are just freakin' everywhere!!! And certainly, 99% (not exaggerating) of the Germans I've met have been absolutely cool and nice. I cannot wait for this quarantine and traveling restrictions end. I'm coming for you, Germans!!!!
Omg as a german speaker I feel so appreceated by this! I feel like many europeans just think of german as the „aggressive/ mean language“. Feels good to be cool for once ✌🏽
dude, you're doing so well already! I'm working on my french currently and music really helps! So I thought I'd let you in on some of my favorite german-speaking bands & artists. Käptn Peng & die Tentakel von Delphi (Gelernt, Homo Sapiens, Sockosopie) Faber (Alles Gute, Top, Vivaldi) Bilderbuch (Kitsch, Bungalow, Maschin) Falco (Vienna Calling, Junge Römer, Tricks, Titanic) Wanda (Bologna, Lascia mi fare) Ok Kid (Gute Menschen, Lügenhits) Kraftklub (Schüsse in die Luft, Chemie Chemie, Dein Lied) KUMMER (Wie viel ist dein Outfit wert, Nicht die Musik, 9010) Moop Mama (Meermenschen, Molotow) Frittenbude (Insel, So da wie noch nie, Bilder mit Katze) Provinz (Diego Maradona, Neonlicht, Wenn die Party vorbei ist) Annenmaykantereit (Oft gefragt, Pocahontas, Barfuß am Klavier) Die Ärzte (Junge, Schrei nach Liebe) Peter Fox (Schwarz zu Blau, Alles Neu)
That's actually a really good list! Cool music taste ;)
I know this is for Damon but I've been looking for German artists to help improve my German so thank you so much!!
thank you! and obviously it's not just for damon! if someone knows some cool french bands/songs i'd love to get new input on that :-))
Also anything by Ich + Ich (e.g. "Du erinnerst mich an Liebe", "Dienen", "Vom selben Stern", "So soll es bleiben"), catchy and moody pop songs with IMO clear German pronunciation.
hey do you guys also know any german tv shows by chance (apart from dark) 🌸🌸
You're an American, speaking German with a French accent.
I think it's interesting that you have a slight french accent when you speak German
As a graphic designer I really appreciate the effort Damon puts into the design aspect of his videos
The fact that you have a bavarian and french accent is really funny to me for some reason😂😂😂
Speaking German with a French accent lmao I love it
I’m still a newb and can hear the French accent in your German
i am HONORED
You discovering that English is basically just french and German is soooo cool!
If you want to watch some German shows I'd recommend Dark and How to sell drugs fast online. A good podcast is Harry Podcast (the first episodes have english subs). Idk maybe this is somewhat useful lol
Thank you!
YES dark is brilliant
As a native German speaker I honestly have so much respect for everyone who's learning my language. Also I kind of feel good about myself now because Damon said he thinks German speakers are cool
Honestly, if people understood how much time goes into creating each one of his videos, no one would ever dislike
I am german and appreciate your content! This video was so much fun to watch and reminded me again of how difficult german can be. I mean a lot of people struggle with german grammar lessons in our middle school and some never learn :'D So be patient with yourself! Also I saw some tips on learning languages through tv and I have to say watching 8 seasons of "my little pony" took my english skills through the roof! :P
Your accent in German is more French than French peoples's accents
I love the slight French accent in your German! 🤩
Your accent when you speak german is adorable(You sound french haha). Also I am german and all I can say is your never done learning german, theres always MORE and More. and yes you can say that about any languege but German literally has rules to the rules and to that rule theres a new exception which has another rule. Idk. I'm a bigger fan of english than I am german. Thank you for the asthetic entertaining content, and (To anyone reading this) have a wonderful day :D
You didn't know how much I needed this. I studied german for 7 years and then stopped in uni during 3 years. And I am getting back into it for my master 😭😭 I need to get my knowledge back before going back to class 😤😤
I’m half German and lived here my whole live, if you need some help🤷🏻♀️😊
That's really sweet thank you ! I've been meaning to find a pen-pal to exchange in german
Médée Are you still looking for one? I am german and I am sure it could be so interesting to chat with somebody... so if that would help you?
Damon is cool, regardless of what language he's speaking lol.
"Who What?? I haven't gotten to emergency situations yet!" 😂😂
Nooooo i can't learn german I'm already trying to learn spanish and korean. Awww 19 year old you is too adorable
Ahh I'm trying to learn spanish and korean too! Good luck!
So, when you'll finally be fluent in German, you'll have to learn Swedish next so you can find yourself a Scandinavian Cutie McDootie. 👌
The Rosetta Stone video in German we’ve been hearing about for so long finally!
I feel you, Damon. I'm also trying to learn German and whenever I think I'm starting to crush it they come up with a new rule like DATIV. Lol sooooo impossible
I recommend the channel Easy German, the videos are subtitled both in German and English. And they show aspects of Germany's culture that I think it's soooo cool.
As a German I can confirm that not even Germans can use Genetiv and Dativ correctly
Wait until you have to learn Konjunktiv
@@mariee.8107 that actually does make me feel better! Lol I'm not even gonna ask what's Konjunktiv. Let's face one battle at a time hahaha
@@mariee.8107 true hahaha
I tried to learn german too but the difference is I went from 0 to like a solid 2. This inspiried me to pick that up again and be cool lmao. Love the vid as always xx
I‘m Austrian, I feel sooooo flattered :)) Thanks for thinking we‘re cool (Also I really loved it that you went to Vienna instead of somewhere in Germany)
thanks ur the first person i know who thinks german is cool THANK YOU
and english is basically just an orgy of french, latin and mostly german, especially ae. if u have some basic language skill and know only one of the two, u still understand simple sentences because its so similar :)
5:29 is literally me in college trying my best to learn German 😂😂🙈
It was fun hearing you talk about the double words because I was just learning about that at Uni. Back in the Medieval ages, French words were used for more high class speech and the Germanic based words were used for more common speech. So that's why reside is considered formal, whereas to live is informal because reside comes from the Old French " résider" and live comes from the Old English "libban" which is similar to "Leben" in German.
As someone who's always been obsessed with learning languages (ie trilingualish, took Latin and Ancient Greek and knows random words in several languages), German's been on top of the to-learn list for a long time. I love the language so much even though it gets a totally false rep of sounding rough and unpleasant.
You sound so french when you're speaking german hahahah
i love the pretzels in the description
Never been this early! Always excited to watch your videos!🤩
yasss. just the kind of video i’m in the mood for. liked before i started
