To my fellow scientists and engineers in the comments, LEARN GERMAN FOR THE WIKIPEDIA PAGES!! German Wikipedia is a treasure trove of excellent articles with amazing explanations and diagrams that aren't necessarily there in English.
I know only one German word

german wiki is full of ideology. a german biologist k*lled himself last year, because of a big smear campaign against him on wiki, cuz he talked about things they didnt want. they were lying about everything about him, a lot of hate, to much to explain. if u searching for something with a political aspect, german wiki is the biggest tr*sh. if you searching for other stuff, german wiki is not that bad.
Yees, indeed. Us German engineers are very exact. I only speak English when I try to be emotional. German == logic
I’m convinced you can have an entire conversation in German using just « bitte » and « genau ».
Genau
Bitte

@MarTin-fz3ns Is that an Austrian dialect word?
German lures you in with fun vocabulary then pulls out the grammar stick 🔨
No, German grammar isn't that hard. Learn the rules and apply them. There are very few exceptions compared to other languages.

@holygooff As a native English speaker, logic and consistency frighten me 😁
Been studying German for about a year now, and have made reasonable progress. I love the language. It is challenging, intriguing, funny, and....most of all....never boring. There is a pretty large population of German speakers in Chicago (where I'm from) and in Texas. So, yeah, Germans are everywhere.
I read somewhere that German ancestry is the most prevalent in the U.S.A. , moreso than even Hispanic and Irish , which were right up there, as well
I was born in Cook Co. Hosp 🙂
Hey, Hey! Cook County Hospital....famous and storied in Chicago. So, are you of German descent? I'm a quarter Canadian, my father's father hailed from up there. Yep, Chicago is the kind of town that attracts a whole bunch of people.
@@klaytonvonkluge4905
Wunderbar, prost!
I love it too. I've been at it about six months. There are tons of Germans in my area in Ohio. Everyone around here (Cincinnati) it seems like...is of German ancestry.
@@davidwilliams8405That sounds exactly like a duolingo sentence.
I’m an American and have been learning German for a while. When I was in class, a classmate asked me to count from one to ten in German. She claimed how it sounded French. I have to tell her that it’s because of my native tongue(es Español) influence in the way I am speaking German. Kinda funny though. Still trying to mark my effort in being trilingual.
They love to criticize you when you're trying. Way to motivate people putting forth the effort.
Ahahahahahha……….. french 💀
I don’t think that’s the reason why she claimed you sounded French. Although French and Spanish are both Romance languages, their similarities are strictly lexical and grammatical. French phonology is much closer to that of German than that of Spanish. French and German share the uvular R (guttural R) and frequent labialization (vowels pronounced with rounded lips).

"Germans are everywhere. They will find you"
My German husband found me, so I have no other options but learn German 😁 we are currently living in the Netherlands but moving to Germany soon. I expect to have a hell of a time bc my native language is Russian
I will learn German only if a German person finds me hehehe 😂
Oh no, do not move to Germany...U are good in Netherlands...
@@NasuKasha nah we are done with the Netherlands. Bad healthcare, high population density, low quality and overpriced housing
Russian, eh? I tried to study Russian: First in high school...but dropped out the first day when I saw that Cryillic alphabet. Next time, as a freshman in college who thought I was being little baby the first time. Well, you guessed it, dropped out of class the first day...again...when I ran into that Cryillic alphabet. LOL! Hey, maybe now that I'm in my seventies I'm mature enough to try one more time. I'll let you know. LOL!
@@DiggerWhoops I wouldn't recommend learning Russian as it's a very difficult language. Even some native speakers make glaring mistakes. Other Slavic languages with the Latin alphabet might be easier
I studied German for two years while in high school, and actually found it easier than Spanish (which I studied for four years). German and English are linguistically "cousin" languages, hence the obvious similarities in much of the vocabulary: what I found hair-pullingly difficult and annoying are the grammatical rules involving the indefinite particles...the definite articles (der, das und die) are fairly straightforward. Other than that, sometimes its kinduv fun to sing along with Beethoven, Wagner or Mahler...one can almost sound as romantic as an Italian...almost.
Try listening to Fritz Wunderlich. Then you will consider German to be the most romantic language of all.
@@valerietaylor9615 I do believe I will. Back when I was clad in black, while in art school, in Cleveland, during the mid-1980s, one of my favorite groups was Trio, out of Hamburg.
Wie viel deutsche weißt du? Ich habe deutsch für 3 Jahre in "Highschool" gegangen,aber kann ich nicht sogar eine licht Konversation mit meiste Mitschülern. Es ist nicht einer einfach Sprache zu kennen,aber es ist nicht als schwierig als Russisch oder japanisch (in meiner Meinung)
sorry man, i don't think you know what you are talking about .
for an English speaker who has been learning both Spanish and German simultaneously in the past 2 years, i can categorically tell you that Spanish is more easier than German to learn.
but both languages are awesome and intriguing.
@davidwilliams8405 I’ve never heard of Trio, but I don’t listen to popular music. Fritz Wunderlich was an opera singer. Yes, I love classical music (including opera), but I also like German folk songs and (especially) marching songs.
Am literally taking a German course right now.."they will find you" is right..I live in Eastern Europe and over 50% of job ads in tech support or telecommunication as well as economics require fluent German which is such BS....it only took me over a decade to get fluent in English, I guess I'll be fluent in German by 2033
2033? You're so optimistic
You can do it!
if it took you almost a decade to fluent in english then expect to get fluent in german by 2073.
In a couple of ways your knowledge of English can be helpful for learning German.
The structures of simple sentences is the same: subject - predicate - object.
If a verb has an irregular declination in English then the corresponding German does have one too:
go - went - gone
gehen - ging - gegangen
Some general similarities in vocabulary:
house - Haus (even the pronounciation is similar)
mouse - Maus
ladder - Leiter
book - Buch
Apple- Apfel
to have - haben
to give - geben
to speak - sprechen
to love - lieben
and - und
what? - was?
when? - wann?
over - über
under - unter

My German friend once asked me in perfect English "What is the English word for broken glass?" It's 2 words my friend 'broken' and 'glass' 🤓
shards (Scherben)?
They for real be having a word for literally the most useless and unnecessary things ever.
@@Wilhelm-mg1jf the unnecessary thing is the gap between the words, if it's one actual item. And if an item exists, it deserves a name; not just a description. But a name can be descriptive.
Bruchglas oder Glasbruch?
@@Wilhelm-mg1jf it's not like they have a "word" for it they just don't add spaces between words that's all it is there. This idea that Germans have more "words" for everything than anyone else is the most tired and false cliche that I've seen. You can do the same thing in any language it's just in most languages you add spaces in German you don't that' the only strong difference. Prime example are numbers, is two thousand two hundred twenty two a one word to you zweitausendzweihundertzweiundzwanzig? I don't care that it doesn't have spaces and is considered thus a "word". It's bit of an illogical stretch of concept of a word really.
This man was the reason I got into this course early this year coz I trusted him 100 percent..and now there's a B2 level? I gotta finish B1 ASAP
Nice! Good luck and have fun! 😄
@@RadicalLiving Gogo is definitely a fan favorite 😜
You're so convincing, I really want to start learning German!
But then I realized, German is my native language. Sadly I will never experience the joy of learning it 😔
Ha,Ha,.... our German German teacher taught us German like foreigners.😊A real drill! All stand up.... Plus quam perfect active: laufen.... you got a second to find the right form! After 2 rounds still standing meant: 5! 😊
@ScoDog That is our IQ-TEST 😉 .
@ScoDog Our Turks finally learn German! They do not ask at the Döner-shop: mit alles ? any longer. They ask: mit allem? now.
Did you still not get that German is a really precise language. 😊
I read somewhere that Turkish immigrants to Germany had a hard time buying a loaf of bread. They’d go into a bakery, and the person behind the counter would say, “Morgen”. Since “Morgen” means both “morning” and “tomorrow”, the Turks assumed the counter person was telling them to come back the next day. So they would go back the next day and repeat the same morbid ritual. But I hope/assume they speak better German now, if they’re able to ask their customers if they want their Doener Kebabs “mit allem.”
@ScoDog wait till you realize many other languages use reflexive verbs or a variation of it, so english is the odd one
My German husband speaks so sweet and tells me all the time that it’s sooo easy ! Just combining words !As a Brazilian doctor was easy to learn hospital and ambulance🤣but the hard part is the phonetic difference between our languages, Rrr…shsh…😘
"My German husband speaks so sweet" ... the correct word is "sweetly". Finish learning your English before going onto German 🙂

@@pelletrouge3032 Yes, anything goes over there. I know you don't. And half of English people can't speak their own language correctly either.
@@daffyduk77What an unnecessary comment. Many native speakers forget the "-ly".
I live in the U.S. and, beginning with my German grandmothers drilling me in German over 60 years ago "als ich ein Kind war", I've been around German my entire life. Still with that, plus having German friends and many years of trying to learn German well, "Ich spreche nur ein bischen Deutsch". I'm fine with the grammar, it's the vocabulary and pace of conversation that trips me up. Not being around German speakers most of the time, it's hard to master. You need to practice. With that said, I have participated in a couple of the early 'Happy German/Learn German with Anja' levels and must say they are very well done. They're fast paced, entertaining and keep your interest as you hear German spoken in conversation while at the same time providing excellent lesson materials. I recommend them to anyone learning German.
Started learning German today and I love it!
Like 15 years ago learning German was usually free of cost. We had an institute called Annemarie Schimmel in Lahore Pakistan where you could pop in to learn German in any of their beginners courses. Now days, they still offer scholarships of fee waivers but you need to study hard in their exams and get at least 80% marks.
Now I want you to do full Ohne Dich vocal cover ASAP 🤘😁🤘
I am German and your video makes me want to take the course! Looks like a lot of fun!

I've been learning German for about a year and a half, and honestly it's the right mix of challenging but not too hard, I'm mostly just watching shows and series to learned, and I've gotten to B1! Nico's weg and easy German are *such* good resources
Which shows are you watching? Can you recommend some good ones that are originally German?
@@jonasfilmstudio well in terms of ones aimed at learners I mostly just watched Nicos weg, but in terms of content from native for native I mostly rewatched some kurzgesagt videos I'd watched in English and KLEO.
you probably won't understand most of it especially at the beginning, so start my just trying to recognize or deduce as many word s as possible, and Anki and the free version of LingQ do also help.
(also keep google translate on another tab, it's surprisingly good with single words and phrases).
other than that, just any topics that you would normally watch in English look for channels about them in German, it makes it like 2 times faster if you're watching something you have genuine interest for.
I hope that info-dump was enough to get you started
@@JM-kj3dx yes, thank you so much! That’s all really helpful 🥰
@@jonasfilmstudio also, the "easy German" channel is a good resource
I used to study German as a second language after English at university and at first I really hated it because it seemed to be super complicated from the grammar standpoint (plus our German classes were pretty boring lol), and then I came along “Warum”, a song by Tic Tac Toe and I absolutely fell in love with German language, it never seemed harsh or over complicated anymore, I realized it can sound very beautiful and melodic. However after university I moved to Italy and had to study Italian, I didn’t practice German for like 5 years. Then I went to Berlin and I felt so dumb cause I couldn’t even ask a simple thing like direction, I literally had to google “how to say WHERE in German” and when I saw it was “wo” I was like omg what a shame it’s only 2 letters and you don’t even remember that!! 😂🤦🏻🙈 I regret not practicing German, nothing feels worse than forgetting a whole language. I never really spoke it like Italian, but still… I feel like the best way to learn a language (and not forget it) is to find some unique stuff you like that only exist in a certain language (like German songs or tv shows🙄)
I you want to learn the funny and sofisticated side of german, listen to or read, The kangaroo- chronicels by Marc-Uwe Kling. In german. As well as his other kangaroo- books. It's not about animals, although a certain pinguin ( symbol of capitalism and the epic antagonist of the communist cangaru) plays an important role😂.
It happened to me just this summer. In uni I took 3 year course of German and had the highest score on the final test of all the class three years in a raw. I was not super fluent but could maintain a casual conversation with people when I traveled there. It was 10 years ago. This summer I went to Germany on vacation... I didn't remember anything at all, like you "Wo" was a new word for me. I felt so sad and dumb for losing the language I had previously acquired and liked so much. But I'm sure if we resume learning it again it will be much easier and quicker this time.
@@unrespiro you actually need to do a lot off communication if you already know a lot off grammar and vocabulary
I use Danke and Bitte every day! :D
Bitte?!

I returned from Berlin two months ago.
Your videos were a great reference for my travel "bitte".

Best of luck!
Für Sie mit Englisch als Muttersprache dürfte das Erlernen jener Sprache nicht schwierig sein. Google translate ist inzwischen schon sehr gut ausgereift, um englische Sätze anstandslos ins Deutsche zu übertragen, bzw. auch umgekehrt.

I think that due to the quality of your videos, it is hard to pick the best one, but this one definitely comes close, brilliant job ✌️
Hahaha Cool, thanks^^
American/Canuck here. My grandma taught me German. She was from Ostpreußen. My goal is to visit Hohenzollern castle and maybe. Just maybe see Georg friedrich von Preußen in person. Also this channel is awesome.
I learn german in order to communicate with my neighbour's cat, who only understands simply german terms like "essen, schlafen, raus!"
I believe that at the beginning you will hate the language and over time you will start to love it. When I started learning other languages, it was always so despairing at the beginning and at some point it goes "pop" and you suddenly don't care in which language you watch a film.
Sir, your sense of humour is outstanding!) Thank you so much!)
I know that the whole video is sarcasm, but being russian native speaker I find German language extremely beautiful. Also my second foreign language is french and the third is spanish. When I was 11 I chose german as the second foreign language but then my parents transferred me into french group saying that girls should study french. I was in Germany several times, some parts resembled Russia a lot and it was extremely cold during the winter so I remember being in sauna most of the time.
And the most interesting fact is that not all germans or austrians speak English. When I was in Berlin many people answered to my questions in german, I had the same experience in Vienna.
Good luck to everyone who is planning to study German! It may seem a little big difficult, but my friends managed to learn it in 4 years from zero to C1/C2 (of course simultaneously studying many other professional disciplines in the university).
"The most interesting fact is that not all germans or austrians speak English", haha come to Baltics and I show you Russians who cant any single word of local language though they are born, grown up and working here. Ask about it from them and they get evil like wasps.
I was thinking about learning German. Thank you for this video. Motivated me a lot.
You can do it!
Thank you, 🥰@@RadicalLiving
Not sure if I'm the only one (surely not) but I have always found German rather easy to learn. We learned French and Latin at school and Germany was only a possibility in the second to last year of secondary school (it was age 16 then, when we were preparing to sit University Entrance exams) and while I'm useless at Latin - pity because I love the language - somehow it seemed that learning all about endings and declensions etc suddenly made so much sense in regards to German at least.
That was over 4 decades ago now and I've recent decided to return to learning and discovered that when I started using Duolingo to learn (it's free is why that tutorial) I remembered a lot more than I thought I would - especially compared to French, least said the better there - and it was almost as though it was not much different to English in many respects. I look forward to continuing with my lessons as it is a great language to learn.
Been studying for five years with die Eule, but barely was able to use it in Munich last year since everyone knew more english than i did german. Cant wait to finish my nursing studies so i can use my German more in the nation.
I already learned German, so I don't need the course. I can warmly encourage people to try it though. Germany is a super relax country to travel through and it's infinitely more fun if you know the language.
Try it now. Das ist ein Befehl! ;)
Wir schaffen das!
I appreciate & love your work .... thank you for making these reels ... can't participate with money but I get to relive some of the good times I have had in Germany .... cause it has got soul!

Glad to hear that 😸 thanks for sharing!^^
Ich liebe “Die Dreigroschenoper” von Kurt Weill. “Und der Heifisch, der hat Zaehne”, usw.
It is because German is one of the most beautiful languages in the world ❤❤❤
I think finnish is more beautiful but you can mess arounð with german a lot.
Dude, I was'nt expecting you mention Guatemala, I'm guatemalan and I decided to learn your language, I reckon it is a really nice aportunity to interact with people.
Learning this also explains why german can be a hard language to translate sometimes, because it has ways to make words easily on the fly
Although German myself... it is really hard if you want to write something seriously. 😊 We have no fuzzy logic.... unfortunately. 😊
as usual love it!

thats good when you dont have to invent a whole new word for a concept because its really difficult for me (as a non-English speaker) to get the dictionary to get all the meanings of the new words i discover everyday but that gets me into a whole new thing that i discover everyday and a new concept.

As a german teacher who is fluent in the lamguage, you've convinced me... to show this to my students :)
2:53 My longest work-from-home job was with a client based in Germany ❣
I've learned German since my ground school and I confirm that this is very useful when working in engineering sector. European industry speaks German.
I read magazines on astronomy or dinosaurs or whatever interests me in German. So I build up skills in reading and concentration, improving my German and learning about whatever interests me. By far the best way to learn a language is reading. Every other way to learn a language is nowhere near as effective, as the way we learn a language is holistic.
You are the nicest German ever :)

You can learn German to read and write German texts but you can't use it for live speaking with Germans because you can't both speak and process your conversation at the same time. You can only speak it with delay.

Danke schoen.
German in high school: not fun. BUT, German as an adult learner - so fun! I’m loving it. Soon to do my A1 exam. Perfect language for English speakers.
I have German ancestry, and dad knew some German from school. He taught me a few words when I was a kid (ein, zwei, drei... Bitte, etc) which fueled my desire to learn the language. I learned some Spanish in high school, but in college I really wanted to learn German so I took 3 semesters of it. I love it. I know the basics, further along than Spanish, and I'm continuing learning on duolingo rn and I want more ways to learn (but don't have much money to spare). I would love to go to Germany someday. It would probably help me learn German.
Actually flying on a German airline to Rome on my graduation trip my aunt took me on helped jumpstart my desire to learn it. I had always thought of it as a harsh ish language, from tv etc, but the announcer at the airport made it sound melodic.
Have you tried improving you German level using the Comprenhensible Inpu technique? I highly recommend you it and it’s free
@@moonyaanthis has got me to middle intermediate level in six months, it is the only method that works
i recommend the yt channel Natürlich German, she teaches vocab without any english, using pictures, drawings, slow speech instead.
other methods dont work since they expect you to translate in your head, which no one does with their native language. with natürlich german, since they teach without any english, you get to take a concept and put it into a word, skipping the entire translation process, making you a more proficient speaker (i can only speak like that after months of purely listening though, so try to avoid speaking in the beginning. speaking should only be used while watching videos so you can imitate pronunciation, which is essential with german)
also, i recommend spending most of your time using this, as it’s really the most effective method. maybe a little bit of grammar study on the side, but learning the language like in school doesn’t work (it’s why only 1% of people who learn languages in school can actually be proficient at it). just spend months immersing, and then you’ll find the speaking process so so much easier. i also know of other channels similar to Natürlich German, so you can get a lot of immersion.
Ich wünsche Ihnen viel Erfolg auf Ihrem Weg. Ich hoffe, dass meine Empfehlungen Ihnen viel helfen können. Ich liebe auch die deutsche Sprache, und ich will viele Leute helfen, um Deutsch zu lernen.
German ancestry is so fucking vague. I hate when US people claiming that they‘re german. No you‘re not unless one of your parents is at least german.
@@unwichtig5884 yeah for a wired reason americans seem to be pretty proud to claim german ancestry. but after so many generations a lot of people had somewhere german ancester but that doesnt make you a german, you are totally right
Fun fact, I'm already following Anja, Maria, Marija, Easy German ( their collaboration with Nalf was fun) and Feli.
I'm from the east of France, Belfort to be precise. Germany is less an hour away then I learned German as first foreign langage all my secondary school. At the end of the second year we could be of a summer exchange organised by french and German vet and POW-KG with the help of the french German youth association. Then I spent 2 weeks in an only "German" speaking family and then my exchange sister came home. I write "German" because the German vet and pow were from south of Augsburg in the Swabian Bavaria ! I became quite fluent but not in perfect Hochdeutsch and that didn't please my teachers ! 😂
In the 3rd year of secondary school I began my compulsory 2 foreign language, English with a very bad teacher, was better the 3 remaining years but I found English much more difficult than German !
Yes lot of common word with french but no rules of spelling ( a letter or group of letters in German have always the same sound) strange sound th, ok the ing and ich in German can be difficult if you want to speak perfect Hochdeutsch but who does that in Germany?
In German rules are rules, you only have to apply them.
And mostly you don't need to think differently, maybe it's because I'm from east France, but I found German logical !
And for die, der, das Brot ask 2 Brötchen 😂 or "eat" the word d'. And remember that germans make Fehler too !
All that to say that in my second year at Uni I met who became my husband, a British 😂 then my English improve drastically but my German was poorer !
I'm now relearning German, speaking is still a bit difficult but I understand around 80%.
I like to watch American football ( ELF, European championship) I understand the comments but need sometimes to recognise the language English or German, my brain work alone ! 😂
I love germany! I went to the Circus Roncalli and Draus means out!
0:16 is literally Ben Stiller, if he was born in Germany!
I see tons of German cars in Sweden, it makes me happy that people visit my country😊
From 80 million and 0.5% going to sweden, it alread feels like "tons of".
@@holger_p I guess
so sad i dont need a course (swiss), i would have loved to learn german that way!
German is a cool language. Hard to learn, but cool. I should probably learn more of it.
Learning it because i love German poetry
Ive been learning german solo for years! I just dont have anyone to talk to in German! Musik und Deutsche Welle
Super ❤ Die deutsche Sprache und der Typ ❤
Servus aus München 🍀
I'm from South Africa and there is a large German community in the region I live. They even have their own little Germany with a school and a church. Once year they hold a basaar and you can eat kartoffel puffer with apple sauce, black forrest cake and even try gluwein😂. Lots of beer of course and German bread ja!
I heard German on the street several times today in Malta, and I think they are definitely not a weekend tourists
What an interesting video and really you made me laugh. I thank you for that.
I really like you! And your look!
I've made up my mind! German it is. Danke
My daily motivation for learning german
Ein lustiges Video (wie immer)!
Ich fürchte, du hast das Wort selbst falsch ausgesprochen (0:41): und zwar als „Etikierung“ statt als „Etikettierung“… 😂😂😂
Ich liebe die Sprache! Ich weiss nicht genau die Grund aber es hort sich witzig an.. Schone Grusse aus die Niederlande (5km von die grenze)
2:37 Me, thinking about finding another language to learn (beside English and Spanish -my native language-), and... boom! You show Fuego Volcano... I live in the town right bellow it, near Antigua 😅 Nice you visited us here in Guate!
