Hi Dwayne, this ist my first comment on a RUclips Video ever. I'm a 58y old German and Just want to say: you are a very nice and friendly Person! It's a pleasure to watch you, doing comments on videos. So carry on!
I think it's great that someone takes the time to do these videos for people wanting to learn to pronounce more correctly but after having lived in 5 countries and traveled at least 30. It's more about just trying the best you can and being understood more than being 100% correct.
I think you are a really nice guy, very humble. Thanks for your content and overall interest in german stuff! I am myself a german with a huge soft spot for everything englisch and really enjoy watching your videos! All the best from Berlin!
Bosch and Siemens have a joint venture named Bosch Siemens Hausgeräte. They produce technical products for households under the trade names Bosch and Siemens. Beside Miele they have the best reputation for quality products in household in Germany. There also are some product specialists with very good reputation like Vorwerk and Liebherr, also German brands.
I learned the best listening to people like you, Dwayne!!! Well, I've learned English in school for sure, but after it, I only was able to write (!) about poems, texts and so on (Shakespeare....) Germans who went to an "Englisch Leistungskurs" probably know what I mean. It was ment to prepare you for university, not to real life. But with RUclips, I got better in every day language only by hearing locals. It is fun AND you don't have the unpleasant feeling of actively learning sth. And no, I don't get paid by RUclips. 😂
Yep, thanks to online exposure to a variety of english speaking conventions with american being dominant I now have to focus af to not apply them arbitrarily within the same text by for instance writing "realize" in one occasion and "realise" at another. Once some US american kid scolded me online for writing "colour" with "u" - he asked whether this was supposed to be english. When I replied that "colour" was more _english_ than whatever spelling he preferred he didn't get it, remarking how stupid I was to argue with a native speaker.. 🤣
YES!!!! American English seemed to be more "cool", didn't it? But in school we learned BRITISH ENGLISH, OXFORD ENGLISH, as it was said. And not only the language...I remember learning so much about sightseeing (mostly London), food and the way Brits behave: their politeness, their dark sense of humour, their standing in line at the bus station, multiple british dishes (we've never heard of before😂) , its parliament (and do not forget about the "i" in it) and further more. Actually I could go on and on. I had "Englisch Leistungskurs" in my "Gymnasium " and it was ALL about Britain and its language, nothing about the US. But we grew older and then there were all these movies from America and they seemed to be the coolest. The US was theeee place to go and we forgot about our cousins. Shame on us.😉
21:30 You also call your phones 'cellular' while we call them 'handy'. Rumors tell the German name was invented in Schwaben (swabia) when someone autochthon was shown one and he replied "Hen die kei Schnur?" (Don't they have a cable?) Only the first two words made it as name, though. 😂
LIDL in Licoln saved my live, as they had a German corner with black forest ham and black bread. There was only white wheat bread around in British stores, often like toast and even Spar hat only Baguettes and Brötchen.
Ther germanic languages are similar. You can easily compare them when turning from High German over Frisian to Dutch and then English. Only the US don't know that 😂. Merry Christmas, Dwayne. You are doing pretty well in pronouncing. Even in Germany there is the step in between with the "st" Northern Germans pronounce the "s", in the Rest it's "sch" or in English "sh" before the "t"
By the way Weihenstephan is the oldest still existing Brewery, founded in Bavaria in 1040... so this is a 983 year old Brewery... But the oldest, continually operating company in the world is Kongo Gumi, a Japanese construction company established in 578, but since they had a merger in 2006, some refuse to list them anymore saying, it's no longer the same company, which makes, in their eyes, the Nishiyama Onsen Keiunkan, a hot spring hotel in Hayakawa, Japan, founded in 705, the oldest and it even has been managed for over 1,300 years by the same family... well, at least it definely is the oldest still running Hotel in the world.
After World War II, many factories were fully operational and many companies were established around the world before the war. Residential buildings and much infrastructure were destroyed, but after the infrastructure (roads, bridges, etc.) was restored, companies were able to produce again immediately, which, along with clever monetary policy, led to the German “economic miracle”.
Well, Coca-Cola or Ford, for example, aren't that much younger. (1886 and 1903) Merck Some Methuselahs in the German corporate landscape are also unrivaled internationally. The best example: Merck KGaA (limited partnership on shares). According to its own information, it is the oldest pharmaceutical-chemical company in the world. It all began in Darmstadt in 1668 when Friedrich Jacob Merck took over the Engel pharmacy. The pharmacy is still family-owned today. The same applies to the majority stake in the chemical and pharmaceutical giant, which continues to have its headquarters in Darmstadt. Last year, Merck celebrated its 350th birthday with, among others, Chancellor Angela Merkel and Hesse's Prime Minister Volker Bouffier (2nd from left). Prym Group Fans of handcraft inevitably come across products from the Prym Group. There is a centuries-long company tradition behind the buttons and sewing needles. The Prym Group was founded in 1530 by the goldsmith Wilhelm Prym in Aachen. According to its own information, it is the oldest industrial family business in Germany. The range of products not only includes products for handicrafts and hobbies. Prym also produces high-precision electromechanical components. 3,500 employees at 30 locations worldwide recently generated sales of 380 million euros. Weihenstephan The Bavarian State Brewery Weihenstephan claims to be the oldest brewery in the world that is still in operation. In 1040, the abbot of the Weihenstephan monastery is said to have received brewing and drinking rights from the city of Freising. In 1803 the monastery was dissolved in the course of secularization. Its possessions and rights passed to the Bavarian state. Weihenstephan subsequently developed into an international center of brewing technology. The state-owned company is under the supervision of the Bavarian Ministry of Science and is part of the Technical University (TU) of Munich. Private bank Berenberg The Berenberg private bank traces its history back to 1590. According to its own information, this makes it the second oldest bank in the world. The company founders were Thillmann Berenberg and his son Jan, Dutch Protestants who had settled in Hamburg. The owners of Joh. Berenberg, Gossler & Co. KG remain personally liable to this day and only rarely change. “Since 1590, Berenberg has only had 38 personally liable partners,” it says on the homepage. Möller Group Even centuries later, this company is still family-owned. The automotive supplier Möller Group is now run by the eighth generation of the descendants of Theodor Möller. He began trading and processing copper in Warstein, Westphalia, in 1730. This formed the foundation for a company that today employs around 2,300 people worldwide. The company has been using plastic instead of copper since 1937. Hofpfisterei The shops are modern, the roots go back far into German history. Ludwig Stocker Hofpfisterei GmbH is a bakery with branches in Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg and Berlin. The company dates its origins to the year 1331. However, today's company is more recent. In 1970, Siegfried Stocker took over the family business from his father and subsequently relied on organic grain. Since his death, daughter Nicole Stocker has been running the company in the third generation. Staggered yard The list of Germany's oldest companies is dominated by wineries and restaurants. The Staffelter Hof winery in Kröv on the Moselle takes the top spot. It was founded in 862, making it one of the oldest still existing companies in the world. The vineyards, where Riesling mainly grows, have been cultivated organically since 2012.
I hear the general recommendation is to always compare apps (or even normal school lessons) with either immersion (going there) or, if that's not an option, at least consume, say, a significant amount of video, tv, or movie content by native speakers on topics other than the language itself, also perhaps read news sites in that language, blogs, or other native speaker created content, so you can get a feel for how its actually used, and if audio, also so you can get a feel how it actually sounds, when used by native speakers.
Warum sich Deutsche und Engländer anmaßen irgendwas mit den Wikingern gemein zu haben. Dabei wurden die gehörig durch die Wikinger ausgeplündert, und die Engländer teilweise sogar unterworfen.
I guess it's pretty simple, most americans are a little or a lot superficial and tend to simplify the language and don't tend to the original pronounciation, sadly. But for me it's ok, as long as you understand it. Thumps up for learning a foreign language, as most germans do as well, it makes things just easier and people are always impressed if you speak other languages. Great video as always, take care.
Simply pronounce the words hard and as they are written, you still use the english pronounciation, but after a time you will get used to it, speaking with native germans or watching german movies can help a lot.
@@Transmodulatoragreed, but also remember not to drop vowels (Aspirin, Marine ) but to pronounce a trailing 'r' like 'a' ( Peter >> Petah ) it also helps to know how 'i' and 'e' are pronounced in German...

These are actually all very young companies. One of the oldest family businesses in the world is the German company Prym, which today is primarily known to women who sew, knit and crochet. The company was founded in 1530 and is still owned today by the founders descendants. It is a global known company. And not even the Germans themselves know how to pronounce Prym correctly. Some say Primm or Prümm, others Priem or Prum or nowadays Preim.

21:10 - "T-Mobile" is part of Deutsche Telekom, but it is not the same. T-Mobile trades with "mobile" Devices and Data (Smartphones and Mobile Data), whereas Deutsche Telekom is the headquarter of T-Mobile and also trading DSL via cable (TV cable / Telefon cable - these are different networks) etc..
Yes, but then must we go back to the beginning from Telekom. They had split this company from Deutsche Post, to DHL / Telekom and Kabel Deutschland / BW. Before was all that in by Deutsche Post. It is also how D2 Mannesmann - that was the telephone cables and telephone company, what had make the telephone and other telekommunikations things by the railway company Deutsche Bundesbahn. Today it is buy by Vodafone. Also Kabel BW (Unitymedia) and Kabel Deutschland was buy by Vodafone. T Mobile have not a TV cable, it is only in the hand from Vodafone, today. By Telekom you become the TV Streams over the Internet, not from the "old" TV cabel.
Simple tricks: Ä is the A in cAt, and Ö is the I in bIrd. And yes, in Finnish Siemens reminds of "siemenneste" or literally "seed liquid", of corse meaning semen.
Of course our languages have a lot in common. We're using practically the same words. They just don't look or sound the same. But you Brits kept the sound of an A while the Americans made it to an äi or an ey sound. You kept the Ds, we switched to Ts and so on. Warsteiner = Va-shtina
10:20 1 the r sound needs to be a bit more pronounced other then that pretty close. 2 the a ound more like the a in about. 3 the e sound after the st sounds more like the e in let.
Na, Dwayne, ick bin mal jespannt wie schief vom Zahnfleisch du sabbeln wirst. ^^ ( Well, Dwayne, I am curious how crooked over the gums you will mumble.) ^^ But I give you props for trying and wish you good luck.
Yeah, british english is closer to the german pronociation the the american english. Or as my old english teacher once said : british people have a hot potato in ther mouth and americans a cewinggumm. And if you think about it and say some words and prentend doing one of those things u noticed
Werner von Siemens has lived and died in Berlin and the headquarters are in Munich and in Berlin we here in Berlin we have here a whole city what is called Siemens Stadt so the workers has it happen not to far to the work and happened a family life after the Work or on the weekend
Good Videos, i Like them, greetings from Germany and welcome soon. Perhaps you would Like to see some Hamburg streams from James Bray (US). He mades funny streams from Hamburg with German streamers.
"ALDI is a German Brand? How did I not know this?" I'm confused by this too... didn't you react to a video with 15 german brands (by the same creator) mentioning it like... a month before this video here?
Don't say "Go, girl" to someone who has spent countless hours purging the internet of her old channel name "Girl from Germany". BTW: Does anyone know what happened? She's been so thorough that I can't find anything on this.
An American women got a trademark "German Girl in America" and Feli changed her channel. I think she might have won if she went to court because she used the name before the other lady registered the name for herself but Feli was not in the mood to fight on it. Kind of stupid that an American is owning the name now.
@@helloweener2007Indeed. A trademark being in use is an absolute barrier to registration. Additionally, it's a descriptive term which cannot be registered. So another "capitalism is when the one who can pay more lawyers has the 'law' on their side".
Di, Feli is a German, so she knows she can`t be a girl forever. It wasn`t worth to fight for, she had to change the name at one point anyway. Many people find it weird when adult women call themself girls.
It should only be a short 'i' if the name was spelled 'liddl' *But:* Es gibt genug gegenbeispiele, die Dir recht geben: wer orthographie und logik zusammen verwenden will, der muss frust-resisten sein!

the r sound needs to be a bit more pronounced other then that pretty close.
2
the a ound more like the a in about.
3
the e sound after the st sounds more like the e in let.
Na, Dwayne, ick bin mal jespannt wie schief vom Zahnfleisch du sabbeln wirst. ^^

But I give you props for trying and wish you good luck.
Im lerning italien with duolingo at the moment, because it is free
the best german beer is Veltins or Bitburger
I need to correct her by Siemens it build in berlin and there has here in berlin build a whole City called Siemensstadt
Yeah, british english is closer to the german pronociation the the american english. Or as my old english teacher once said : british people have a hot potato in ther mouth and americans a cewinggumm. And if you think about it and say some words and prentend doing one of those things u noticed
Südfrüchtehandlung isn't really a name despite obviously being part of it, it's just saying this is a "southern fruits shop"
Joshua a german name too i believe
It's Hebrew I think.
Werner von Siemens has lived and died in Berlin and the headquarters are in Munich and in Berlin we here in Berlin we have here a whole city what is called Siemens Stadt so the workers has it happen not to far to the work and happened a family life after the Work or on the weekend
Good Videos, i Like them, greetings from Germany and welcome soon. Perhaps you would Like to see some Hamburg streams from James Bray (US). He mades funny streams from Hamburg with German streamers.
Very surprised that she says Munich when the german is Munchen. Also she never mentioned Haufbrau Bier Munchen.
"10 words Feli pronounces wrong"
"ALDI is a German Brand? How did I not know this?" I'm confused by this too... didn't you react to a video with 15 german brands (by the same creator) mentioning it like... a month before this video here?
Braun is P&G brand? I'm so disappointed
In the WW2 Bayer used jews to test and develop new medicine and drugs
Don't say "Go, girl" to someone who has spent countless hours purging the internet of her old channel name "Girl from Germany".
BTW: Does anyone know what happened? She's been so thorough that I can't find anything on this.
An American women got a trademark "German Girl in America" and Feli changed her channel.
I think she might have won if she went to court because she used the name before the other lady registered the name for herself but Feli was not in the mood to fight on it.
Kind of stupid that an American is owning the name now.
@@helloweener2007Indeed. A trademark being in use is an absolute barrier to registration. Additionally, it's a descriptive term which cannot be registered.
So another "capitalism is when the one who can pay more lawyers has the 'law' on their side".
That might be the reason, why she had to blur a few of the intros in her older videos.

Yes, she changed them that the old logo is not visible anymore.
Di, Feli is a German, so she knows she can`t be a girl forever. It wasn`t worth to fight for, she had to change the name at one point anyway. Many people find it weird when adult women call themself girls.
The list of the World's oldest companies is dominated by Japanese companies.
Indeed
Munich beer is like Pißwater in GTa V
With Lidl she is not quite right.
There are also lots of people who pronunce it with a short i, because there is no ie.
It should only be a short 'i' if the name was spelled 'liddl'
*But:* Es gibt genug gegenbeispiele, die Dir recht geben: wer orthographie und logik zusammen verwenden will, der muss frust-resisten sein!

Es ist aber auch nicht Liedl.
Kim hat auch nur ein m und das i wird kurz gesprochen.
Ich vermute der Familiename ist auch eher Süddeutsch, deshalb wird er dort anders gesprochen, als hier weiter oben.
Da Lidl aus dem süddeutschen Raum kommt, ist es doch logisch, die süddeutsche Aussprache anzuwenden, oder?@@helloweener2007
