    As a German watching this out of interest and boredom I can say:
    Best video to learn German EVER. 99.99% correct and to the point. This video alone could save you 3 months of learning.
    Advise: do not overly focus on the letter R thing. We don't care ;-) We go mad if you say Porschee lol

      I go a little crazy. Mainly because that's the one non-German speakers make all dramatic like they're about to cough up phlegm. Not always. If they're super serious about it they won't. But if they're learning... I want to slam my head against a wall.

    And this is how you teach a language. So many other teachers of German here just read words and phrases and then read the English translation. It becomes a game of memorisation. You give enough context to make it possible for someone to actually extend the knowledge or combine knowledge to handle never-before-encountered situations. This is awesome.

    • @yvonnemadziwa
      @yvonnemadziwa 2 года назад +3

      I agree with you......😊
      .... I came across this lesson when I was searching for absolute beginner's lessons for the German language
      this was more of a struggle for me because most of the channels that showed up needed someone who had an encounter with the language.
      I was starting from scratch, alone on RUclips. I needed the vowels and how to differentiate them when the sounds are similar and a bit more intricate parts of speech in the language📚📖
      .... among all the channels, this one has been more specific and detailed, carefully articulating the key components and consonants and much deeper than I could ever imagine. 💯
      I am so grateful for this channel👏👏👏

      @@MrLAntrim I have a query regarding learning languages generally. From what I understand, often its the case that the pronunciation and tone in which a non native person speaks their chosen language will be influenced by the teachers native or second language. For instance, if as you do, speak English with an American tone and pronunciation, will I as the learner generally take on those influences in the case of learning the German language? If this is the case, should we not learn German from a person who speaks English with the desired intonation, such as with an English, Australian or indeed American intonation?

    • @MrLAntrim
      @MrLAntrim  5 лет назад +21

      If your only goal is to mimic native speakers' pronunciation, tone and intonation, sure. My caution would be that many native speakers don't have experience learning their own language and therefore have trouble relating when learners struggle with topics that they find simple as a native speaker.

    This was so informative. I am at a B1 level (according to the Goethe Placement test). I spent about a week watching this in entirely. I also wrote things down and I felt so much better with my German. Especially with forming sentences and understanding sentences, conjugated verbs, etc. I felt like this was a great refresher for me and I feel much more confident in my German skills. My partner is German and he also says that I know more than what I think I know. Which I believe is true. I do have a lack of confidence with German. I have so far lived in Germany for 6 months (Will be going back soon - hopefully). I truly love the language, I miss hearing it, even at times I said things wrong, or I got flustered because I try so hard to understand and speak back but it doesn't come out so grammatically correct (unlike my English). But I still try and try again. I hope to gain fluency in the language, live and work in Germany. It truly feels like home to me.
    I cannot thank you enough for the work you put into your videos, you deserve so much views and recognition.
    I really feel like I finally understand German more than I did. Especially on the Grammar terms.
    I look forward to your next videos!

When you can pronounce things correctly, your confidence goes up because you don't feel like you'll "sound funny." This video is great. The pronunciation is perfect and not too formal. It also isn't dated like some of the other videos I've seen.

      That's a different and interesting point of view...

    That was a fun watch. Just browsed a bit through the course and I really like how entertaining it is. I mean, you can tell this is not a native speaker after 3 seconds. For the first level, I doubt that makes a difference and one could argue that someone with a firmer grasp of the English language might even be better to get you started as they would know the issues students are facing much better (e.g. I would never have guessed someone would have problems distinguishing wer & wo).

    We Germans don't really say 'relaxen' . But 'entspannen' . "Ich entspanne mich in meinem Haus." If we use the word 'relax' in a sentence, we pronounce it englisch.
    We use the word 'relax' more specifically in the medical sense. Mostly for syndrome diseases. For example: Muskelrelaxation - muscle relaxation.

After I finished the German course on Duolingo, I realized I had a basic grasp of the language, but still not enough vocabulary to be able to read German children's books, or really feel comfortable having a real time dialogue with my friend in Germany. Your videos, as well as some of the channels you recommended, have helped me understand a lot of the why's and how's of the language that I didn't pick up from Duolingo.
    Your video about spelling and pronunciation (especially regarding ridiculously long compound words) actually brought me to a question: can ANY German nouns be used to form a compound word, or are there notable exceptions? And are there specific rules when making a compound word? I've noticed some that seem to have extra letters between the individual nouns.
    Thanks again, looking forward to more videos! Keep up the good work!

    ⚠️ It's always easier to learn a language from non native teachers, they know exactly what we need to learn, and the difficulties a beginner will face. It's always easier to understand, because the words are so well pronounced. Often, a native person talks not so clear. This happens in any language. And I can say that, because I'm Brazilian, I speak Portuguese. I can clearly see the small difference, but the teacher here has an excellent pronounce. I wish all German people could speak so clear, but on daily life, even the easier phrases are not said so clear. If you're an advanced student, well, you can continue learning from a native person. This video is a true treasure for all foreign people beginning to study German. 🙏🙏👍❤️
