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

I learned German at university (Hochdeutsch, natürlich) and when I was studying abroad in Austria, I had no idea what they were saying. They had no problem understanding me, however. 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.

It'd be cool if you could review Scandinavian languages. Keep up the good work!

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.

@@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 :)

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.

As a native Dutch speaker, that part always has seem weird to us. Since the same applies to Dutch, we use verbs as nouns all the time as well. A common trait amongst Germanic languages. But German is the only one which capitalizes. If we forgot to capitalize in German classes in school, we didn't get penality points for it, since even the teacher considered it archaic.

​@@saladspinner3200The actual reason is german standardized on the ancient form of capitalization, and now that we live in the world of schools which torture children into thinking there is a "correct" way to write language, it has no way to evolve past it. If german was really confusing without the capitalization, people wouldn't be able to speak the language because you can't capitalize speech

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?

​@@heatherperleberg7816 I imagine it's easier to find material/ways to learn German in a digestible way. 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)

Technically, "ß" is not a letter, but a ligature, a way to prettify certain letter combination (like "fi" in some fonts). Once upon a time, they used two versions of "s", one looking like an "f" without the mustache, and "ss" was written as "fs" (minus the mustache) and later combined to "ß", voila! Even later, there came some special rules when to use "ß" and when "ss" (yes, it makes a difference, like "Maße" vs "Masse"). If you don't have the letter ß available, it is fine to write "ss" anyways, and for umlauts you can use ä -> ae, ö -> oe and ü -> ue.

It's only when you use past tense or future tense when is created using two verbs similar to English or other languages like french or Spanish you put the second verb at the end . Or if you use modal verbs . It's the same as in English. I have to do something Ich muss etwas machen In the German version "to do" is machen which goes at the end but ich muss or i have , the actual conjugated verb stays in second place

It is one of the most frustrating languages to learn mostly because of the accents. You can literally be C1 and 30 mins later barely A2. IMHO, I love the language itself. It is great, and it sounds so nice. The shocking factor is true. Nobody is amazed if you speak and they would switch to English, but if you speak English they would say you should speak German 🤷🏻. Still, and even though is the most complex I have learned, it is so satisfying to have a conversation in German. Every time I make it, I felt I had a great day.

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. ^^

Hochdeutsch is called hochdeutsch, because the Mountains of germany are in the south, and plattDeutsch (lower German) is spoken in the North, where it is flat and got zero mountains). most rivers flow to the north. except the Donau, that flows to the east (prague).

Please do Farsi. It's my native language and it's probably one of the easiest languages ever. Simple pronunciation, simple verb system. 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.

The High German from back in the antiquity and today's High German are not the same thing! While High German back then was a distinction how far the consonant sound shift has developed, today's High German is (how you already said) the standard dialect that they speak on German TV for example!

I did the German course on Duolingo as a native (highly versed in English) and made more mistakes than I expected (even failed a lesson once). The problem I expected and saw was accurately translating some sentences requires colloquialisms or obscure constructs that the maintainers couldn't account for (at least without some AI).

@@whohan779 I'm a native German who saw my Canadian friend trying to learn through Duolingo, but found that it doesn't really talk about the "rules" in German. 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. 😁

In German, the finite verb is generally in the second position. What you pointed out in your example was the participle and acts exactly like in English. Small wonder as they are both Germanic languages. Similarly with the cases of which English still has bits here and there (whom and the possessive 's).

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.

Maybe you could do a review on Plautdietsch, also called mennonite low german. It is a very unique dialect of low german. It was born when dutch mennonites settled in Prussia, where they replaced their dutch languages with the local prussian variety of low german, while mixing in elements of dutch, creating a unique dialect. Afterwards they moved to the Ukraine, Russia, Canada, Mexico and more, so now it has loanwords from all of those languages too. It is spoken by mennonites across the americas. Not to be confused with the Amish language, which is Pennsylvania german, and is a high german dialect. Its entirely up to you, but if sounds interesting to you I can list some resources under this comment.

Try to learn the basics first. Once you've got that down, write in German with Germans who can give you the best answer to every question. German can be complicated and many Germans also don't know some grammar rules. So don't worry if you don't understand something straight away. I could help you, for example. :) To practise your listening skills, you can simply watch German videos here on KZfaq. You probably have a topic that interests you and that you usually watch videos about in a language that you know.
