  • Just tell a native German that you are learning German and it's hard. They will talk for 30 minutes about how it is harder than English and will praise you in every possible way for your efforts.

    • Yea but this is sooo dependent on a person. I know someone who lives since 30 years in Germany, German job and German husband, and yea you can somehow understand her when she talks, barely when she writes. Someone else lives in Germany only since five months speaks fluently with only little accent.

    • My friend is polish and she learnt German SO fast in about a year, I think it highly depends on how willing you are to learn and surround yourself with native speakers. My other friends mom is from Brazil... she got here 30 years ago and you can barely understand her German because she doesn't need it... she's a homemaker and talks Portuguese on the phone all the time 😅

  • I was in a little coffee shop in Berlin and was using my absolutely garbage German to order. I apologized for my terrible German to the old man working the counter. I’ll never forget he opened the jar of sugar and reached in a big meaty paw to bare handed grab a wasp (why are wasps everywhere in Berlin?) crushed it staring me dead in my eyes and told me in German to never apologize for trying. The Germans were so kind even if you were just trying. Another very German encounter was asking a bartender what the most fun things to around here were and she said the best thing to do in Germany was to go to Spain

    • @@walidelharrak2140 wait, you heard that someone with turkish background will tell you to go back to your country? I don't think that's true, that'd be at least somewhat paradoxical while still possible. Though I'm going to answer it the way it makes more sense, you speak German to a German. I haven't encountered many cases where people would tell a foreigner to go back to their country, though that does happen of course (depends on the region, the age and the education), there are very rasistic people in every part of the world and Germany is unfortunately no exception. Because Germany has granted entrance to many immigrants from different countries and people are stupid and think they take away their jobs for example. Anyway if you don't intend to stay only the top "1%" of the most racist people will tell you to go back to your country. Hope that clarifies things :)

You're great at incorporating humor, wittiness, softer form of sarcasm and a great deal of profound knowledge about the subject in your review videos while keeping the performance very American :) Personally I love German language (the complexity, pronunciation) but can't speak it, although I'm fluent in both Danish and Swedish - both are Germanic languages, so there are many similarities. It'd be cool if you could review Scandinavian languages. Keep up the good work!

I thought I was just way worse at German than I thought, but one evening I was at a food cart and the couple next to me was from Berlin and I understood nearly everything they said.

    • There is not „German“ there is Hochdeutsch, which exists for a reason, and a bazillion dialects, which will vary slightly from village to village, which will make a big difference on a big scale. As somebody from the „Middle of Germany“, even I find it hard to understand the Austrians sometimes. But I wish them, or anyone living 100 kilometers away, good luck too understand our dialect. We just don’t use it as often as they do.

  • Fun fact, its "das Mädchen" bcs of the -chen ending, which is used to make nouns appear cuter and tinier. If a noun has this ending its automatically "das". Originally it would be something like "die Maid" or "die Magd" but thats straight up out of medieval times. Extra: der Junge -> das Jungchen. Die Katze -> das Kätzchen (which means kitten) So it works well with other words too.

    • You explained correctly why and when a word is or becomes neutral in German. But the "real" reason why the word that describes a female living being can have a non-feminin gender is because gender (Genus) and sex (Sexus/Geschlecht) have nothing in common. And that is the same simple reason why "geschlechtergerechte Sprache" that tries to avoid or even exterminate the generic masculine form of many words and sayings is absolute bullshit.

  • Actually you got High German wrong :) The High German dialects are not the German spoken in TV. That German is called Standard German and is colloquially called _High German_ in dialects, *however* that High German is a variation of the low German Hannoverian dialect, which is spoken in the north in the city of Hannover. Thus High German is actually a low German Standard German that is or was not naturally spoken by native Germans with German heritage! Hope that makes sense now!

  • As a german speaker i can say that 1. High and low being determined by altitude (the landscape gets higher the more down you move) 2. High german is indeed the base dialect, but schwäbisch and bavarian are completely different languages and the german we speak in the north is more high german than all other dialects. Except berlin dialect, that's also different from northern german (berlin german corresponds to new york english)

Unsere "dialektfreie" Standardsprache (Standarddeutsch) wird Hochdeutsch genannt, weil sie sich aus hochdeutschen Dialekten entwickelt hat. In Hannover wurde früher Niederdeutsch/Plattdüütsch gesprochen, aber heute spricht man dort und im Norden allgemein relativ einheitliches Hochdeutsch, weil es eben eine eingeführte Sprache ist. Standarddeutsch kommt aber nicht aus Hannover und auch nicht nur dort gesprochen. Sowas wie "frei von Dialekt" gibt es eigentlich nicht. Standarddeutsch ist, wie Bayrisch, ein Form von Hochdeutsch, die nur dadurch Dialektfrei ist, dass man sie zum Standard erklärt hat.

  • The Capitalisation of nouns is because we can use verbs as nouns very often and the capitalisation highlights that it’s a noun, this can often confuse learners when they don’t capitalise because it can technically sometimes change the meaning of the sentence, but often it just looks out of place but still works if it isn’t capitalised

  • As a native German speaker, I loved this video. You even got jokes in like Bielefeld not existing! Two clarifications though on verbs: - The verb is on second position, except for when accompanied by auxiliary verbs like in your example, or in dependent clauses. - You left out the most confusing, yet greatest ability of verbs in German: You can (and must) separate some of them and put the second part on the second position, while the first part goes to the last! For example a sentence with the verb "abfahren" (to depart/to leave): Der Zug fährt um 16 Uhr ab. (The train departs/leaves at 4 P.M.)

    • Let's do some Konjugation: Ich fahre ab (I depart) Ich fuhr ab (I departed) Ich wurde abgefahren (I was being departed) Ich fähre ab (might be totally wrong, depending on the strength of the word (yes, really, verbs can be strong or weak here). This is indorect speech, so you're saying that someone said you depart) Ich führe ab (Same as above, but you don't believe the person who said that or are very,very nice/formal. Also translatable as when you are taking someone away bc u are a cop or something, but Kontext does the job) Ich würde abfahren (we say this bc we are either too lazy to construct the führe ab thing or because we want to differentiate from that other word, in some cases even to differenciate from a different tense of the same word) Last but not least, someone who departs is called Abfahrender It's simple, right?

Especially when it comes to passive learning such as through changing language settings for various things to German rather than your native language or simply watching/reading content in the language. Yiddish unfortunately is no longer anywhere near as frequently used as it used to be due to all the things most Yiddish speakers had to go through during the 20th century. (The irony of learning German to learn a language which Germans brought close to extinction by killing millions of it's native speakers doesn't escape me. I wish we'd be giving it more recognition in Germany, as it stands I'm not sure if most Germans today even know that Yiddish exists, as it doesn't come up often even in the context of teaching about the NS-period and the Holocaust.) To continue with something less sad: If you're fluent in German, then understanding Yiddish is very simple. When it's spoken at least. I occasionally listen to Yiddish music and even tho I never learnt the language, I still understand about nine out of ten words fluently just thanks to German. (the words sound older or like in some dialect but they can be understood without having to think about their meaning.) Whether that's different for some Yiddish sub-categories/dialects I do not know. I'd imagine there are some which are significantly harder to understand, especially when spoken by someone who's actually a Yiddish native speaker and doesn't primarily speak German (most Yiddish I've been exposed to has been from people who primarily speak German in day to day affairs)

It is quite typical in Germany to refer with "higher" and "lower" to the height level of a region instead of the position on a map. E.g. Lower Saxony is north of Saxony. You can find it in the names of regions, towns, villages, etc.

  • Yeah well the deduction due to the very low shock factor mostly comes from the way we generally are and carry ourselves. Like there’s very little any foreighner or even stranger could say to a native german (or austrian for that matter) in normal conversation that’s going to genuienly shock them. And even if you manage to do so dont expect any reaction at all except for maybe a smirk or thinking face. Also due to the way the grammar is structured and pronounciation we can immideately recognize if you KNOW german or if you are learning it. Things like „Kann ich ein Apfel haben bitte?“ or „Ja ich bin von Amerika gekommen und mag sehr gerne Deutschland“ just stick out like a sore thumb to natives so its very hard to disguise yourself. Correct form: „Kann/Könnte ich bitte einen Apfel haben“ - „Ja, Ich komme aus Amerika und mag Deutschland sehr gerne“. Also the choice of nouns and correct verbs also says alot about your german skills. Admittedly, most problems you‘ll run into are things natives who learn Hochdeutsch in school also struggle with a lot like grammar and what i just mentioned.

It's more "memory" than "understanding", I feel. 😅 Honestly, I found that looking up foreign words in wiktionary (don't worry, I'm not promoting anything, it's just Wikipedia for words) helped me to better understand how foreign words work than Duolingo. I tried learning Latin from there, but didn't understand why a singular word turns into plural the way it does. There are so many German rules (just look at "des, dessen, deren, diesen, so many Ds!") that simply memorizing the words just won't teach. 😅 I ended up just translating and explaining German words to my friend instead. 😁

During a (stupid) analysis, we can get the general idea quickly to then write our first ideas for us to then read it thourougly and correct our mistakes. Notes are done faster this way and actually often quite accurate if you are good with this technique.

    • I agree with that statement. In German it's easy to turn an adjective into a noun, just by capitalizing it, not just "das Rote Meer" is "the Red Sea" but also "Ich fliege in das Blaue" could be interpreted as "I'm flying into the blue" as in "the sky" or perhaps "the ocean". Also verbs can be turned into nouns this way, like "fahren" (driving) into "das Fahren" (the driving, similar to a "trip" or "journey" with a vehicle). I feel that it can prevent misinterpretations/misunderstandings. 👍 Thanks for posting this comment, I hope you don't mind my response. ^^

No grammatical genders to the point where we don't even have he/she. We use the same pronoun for both genders. It's a pro-drop language so we almost never use pronouns, since it's obvious from the verb conjugation. And we also have an extremely flexible word order. You van pretty much put any word in whatever position you like and it's still gonna make sense.

  • Bavarian (and all the other dialects spoken in the high german region) is not a subcategory of high german where high german means standard German. This confusion arises because standard german in German is called Hochdeutsch whcih literally translated would mean high german but not in the sense that it encompasses the high german dialects. Contrary, low german dialects are generalls closer to standard german (Hochdeutsch) than high german dialects

    • Every German "Linguist"/Germanist would call you out for talking utter nonsense throughout your entire comment.. For calling Bavarian (= "Bairisch" and not "Bayrisch") a dialect although it is its own language... and then additionally at other occasion when speaking about the North for mixing up "dialects" with "accents" = real dialects like "Plattdeutsch", "Kölsch" or such "Frisian dialects" spoken at the Northsea shores are not in the slightest close to "Standard German" but when those people there speak "Standard German" their accent is close to the "required pronunciation" of Germany´s Standard German. (just as side note there is also an "Austrian Standard German" + a "Swiss Standard German" as well = "the literate/written language" which differs here and there and more than less in grammar + vocabulary from Germany´s Standard German) And for using the term "Hochdeutsch" colloquial for "Standard German" which is fine in a "colloquial setting" but which it is not fine when speaking about "language in particular in professional terms" which is a linguistic setting and in linguistic terms "Hochdeutsch" is solely an umbrella term for a certain "language family" located in the South (where for instance the language Bavarian/"Bairisch" is a part of it)

  • I have the impression that when a foreigner speaks german, most germans don't really care as long as they can understand the other person. I feel like germans only switch to english in certain scenarios. One such scenario could be when germans see that you're struggling with speaking. Like when you for example take very long to form a sentence. I know it's annoying but they don't mean any ill. It can also be quite hard for germans to speak german with someone they before only spoke english to. I don't really know why that is but I guess it's because they know that german is hard and don't want you to go the extra mile and struggle so hard just to speak german with them. Overall I agree. Most germans are very helpful and supportive and appreciate it when you learn German. So my advice is to just speak german and not worry too much about cases or articles. Most germans will still understand you and happily talk with you in german. But again, this is only my impression. I could be wrong.
