A method for practicing German that I enjoy is listening to my favorite German musical artist, Hein Simons ( he's Dutch, but sings in German). I mimic his pronunciations, and I google the lyrics to his songs and write them out. This helps my German vocabulary and helps me learn the song by heart.
Now my learning process: Watching series and movies in english. At some point I started gaming on the internet, just for giggles. But as it turns out there are a lot of americans on the internet. So when I wanted to play with my new found friends I had to talk english. After a while I then switched my youtube channels language to english as well. This terrible 'ze' instead of the is gone, my pronounciation is a lot better. Speak, speak, speak. Write, write, write. Just as Rewboss said :)
dito! I've started watching all my movies and series in the language they've been filmed in, mostly English... that gave me an edge in school and when I had finished school (got kicked off), I went to another school, where I ended up knowing more about the English language than my teacher. later in my life, I've gotten the chance to become a translator for Business English Correspondence, or BEC. I ended up aceing my exams from the University of Cambridge, achieving the grade of "A with merit", which has put me in the top .5% of graduates and has gotten me the "BEC Vantage", a nice diploma to have, if you want to work in the field of "translations". it even got my name into the credits of a reknown PC game, called "Layers of Fear", as the German translator, which has opened new career paths for me! to be quite frank here, my English is better than most Americans' - don't be fooled by the lack of capitalization in the youtube comments I write! this is the internet, after all, and I simply refuse to properly capitalize every sentence I write in comment sections! ;) (now, I'm getting ready to being shot down and all my mistakes to be pointed out!)
I recommend total immersion as well. Did turn out helpful in Japan to me. Still can't speak well (after three weeks not that big deal) but my reading is way better now.
I constantly have non native coworkers who I start speaking english with. But then I remind myself: They are going to be here quite a while you can't make it too easy for them to not learn german. So I force myself to speak german with them. I only switch back to english when I have to translate a new word. As for my english: I sucked at it in school until 9th Grade. I even nearly had to stay down a year because of it. But then I made a trip to Ireland, had to actually use my textbook knowledge and bought Star Wars at the Duty Free shop in Heathrow because I already knew the lines by heart in german and figured I would have no problem with the english original. That worked out so well that I started playing computergames in english and watched TV-Shows in english (if they were available). From then on I got straight A's in classes. The internet came later. Yes I'm old...
I used the app back when I started to learn Japanese! It's really great and I love that you promote it! People should really use it. It's much better to talk to natives than learning with a book or RUclips videos only.
I can watch the ARD online streams just fine when I’m visiting the UK. Sometimes there are programmes which don’t show (and are replaced with a ‘can’t be shown for legal reasons’ message), but most things (especially Tagesschau etc) can be watched just fine.
It's actually just all the private broadcasting companies that block non German IP's regardless. (depending on what company it is it'll allow Swiss, Austrian or Luxembourgish IP's to watch their content online).
I just realized that I learned English almost entirely from RUclips and now I am watching an English channel to learn more about my native language. I should really get out more...
I started learning Esperanto a week ago and I am just about to find out whether they have some Esperanto speakers in the app :) Btw: is any Esperantist here ? :)
How to improve your German? Drinking a bottle of wine! Speak it fluently then, even got a compliment once. But you’re right, learning Swedish now, with Duolingo and watch Swedish channels. It’s a good feeling to start recognizing words. And even learned new words. Also use it to maintain my French. There is a news channel there for people who learn French.
It is easy to receive German television outside of Germany. You just need a free-to-air satellite receiver a dish at least 60cm and point it at the Astra 19,2 East satellite. Loads of German stations incl ZDF channels, Bayerisches Fernsehen MDR etc etc.

I'm following this technique for Modern Hebrew but it is heavy going. Many programmes on Israeli TV have subtitles in Hebrew to help learners but I am not sure it's helpful. Once you've learnt' the rules written Hebrew quite easy, but the language has many homophones and near homophones it's quite tricky to hear them clearly and pull the meaning out of one's passive vocabulary. I tend to agree that total immersion is better, cos you can ask someone to repeat what they have said, or rephrase it to make sure you have understood correctly.
In some countries a good tactic is to visit bars off the tourist circuit of an evening and talk to the locals. ( maybe a bit more difficult in Germany). After a week of this your speaking skills will have improved, though you'll probably feel like giving the beer a rest for a while.
Total immersion. That's what I did at the age of three years. It worked very fine. Probably because I had no ballast of abilities to read and write my first language. So I suggest You to rejuvenate Yourself and save a lot of time before You start to learn a new language. ;)
My brother and I used to play a game where we'd turn on the SBS (the Australian public broadcaster that rebroadcasts other countries' news) and try to guess whats happening.
You're right about total immersion. Get out of the cities. Although I'm relatively fluent, I run into problems with business correspondence, being too polite and not knowing if someone is using a word I do not know or has given someone's surname. Stichwoerter are also a trap.
if you want to watch german youtube i Would recomend 'Ultralativ' and 'Walulis'. or if you like Gameplay: Gronkh (The german youtube dad) The big ones who are in tje trends are mostly completely trash, sadly.
The good old times when all you had was a textbook, a cassette (yep, a cassette) and a humongous bilingual dictionary... You could sometimes trust the largest newsstands, usually located in the biggest train stations, to have some week-old newspaper or magazine... You younger people have it so easy (yes, I sound like my grampa).
Das ZDF Mediathek kann ich auch empfehlen (eine erstaunliche Menge von Sendungen sind nicht blockiert im Ausland). I'm glad all that GEZ I paid all these years is paying off!
I learned English through song. I picked songs I liked, then I listened to the song, wrote down the lyrics by ear, and sung the song thanks to the lyrics I wrote down. Every word or idiom I didn't understand I looked up in the dictionary. Sadly, all that effort didn't improve my singing.
I'm a studend in german and i learn english and use his videos to learn the spelling and I can say everithing is true what he saiys ( please improve this coment if anithing is wrong In german : Ich bin schüler in deutschland und lerne englisch deswegen schaue seine videos damit ich meine ausprace verbessern kann Bye
Hi Rewboss! How did you get a job in an age care home? Insn´t a special license or training needed? I have been living in Berlin for 3 years, and I want to find a job that could give me this imersion in the language. I used to work in a Restaurant, but it was not a good experience. Thanks!
I don't live in Germany, and I have no problem accessing www.ardmediathek.de, which has a plethora of television content available for streaming. I also benefit from the vast amount of German RUclipsrs, who also post tons of interesting content that can rival most mainstream-produced television shows, at least on topic and content.
I came to Germany with only 3 words in my baggage - Hallo, gut and Scheiße - not a great way to keep a conversation - Hallo -- Hallo - Wie geht es dir? -- Gut. -Und wie findest du Deutschland soweit? -- Scheiße! Jokes aside, I never learned any German. I knew the numbers and a couple words. Living and working here taught me more than the so-called B1 entry-level blablabla. Google Translator helped me learn new words (DON'T USE IT FOR SENTENCES!!), online verb conjugation tables are all around. Wiktionary, Duden... anyone can learn a new language if they put their minds to it. Going for a 6th language someday....

I remember catching up with the BBC world service on short wave, and the VOA somewhere in the AM frequency range while driving into Munich. Audio, radio, something like that. These things that had antennas (or is it antennae?). Anyway, with loudspeakers and an amplifier that really shoved the air around, not a 60 dB limited ear plug for babies.

CharlineLikesC despite the scum in the trends, there are a lot of good ones. Dechangeman, HandofBlood or David Hain for example. They create quality videos and take a lot of effort upon themselves. Their webseries and plays are awesome.

As to why they have this opinion I can only make the guess that they:
a) Have been solely watching english videos for a long time (some even mention switching their yt-language) thus creating a filter bubble where they only get to see english quality videos and german "trending" stuff

Yeah i know the feeling, most German youtubers are even in the realm of RUclips either weird or plain stupid.
CharlineLikesC despite the scum in the trends, there are a lot of good ones. Dechangeman, HandofBlood or David Hain for example. They create quality videos and take a lot of effort upon themselves. Their webseries and plays are awesome.
Hmmm, never thought about it but after reading your description I have to admit that I'm also only watching English channels on YT. Funny (=
nfant Oh thx, I am always happy for suggestions that go beyond Ytitty and the Slimani siblings.
They (you) do their videos in english to crave for a possible bigger audience..not only anglo-american but almost any nationality has many individuals that speak english...in France just a dozen or so...but...you get the point.
Ich aus Deutschland und denke mir erstmal so:jetzt erstmal Englisch lernen😂😅
By the way, writing an essay isn't impressive given what "essay" means. It's French and means "attempt".
Jeepers. I was an EU citizen when this was posted.
If you play WoW, play in a german guild, that's how I improved my English :O
And german RUclips is cancer.
There are good german RUclips channels, too. But I aggree with you, 90% ARE cancer.
Heh, the same thing can be said about english RUclips. Or anything, really. It's Sturgeon's Law after all: "ninety percent of everything is crap".
Just look at any channel associated with funk, a cancerous strain of aids. Then Lefloid: shit, MrWissen2Go: crap, Gronkh: assinine etc etc etc.
I only watch Die Weltraumaffen, any other stuff I watch on RUclips is english (either social/political commentary or wrestling-related)
ShinKillKenny Is it because German as a language sucks? I was thinking about to participate in a German course at university but now I'm not sure.
no, it's just unfunny silly crap. The language itself is amazingly poetic if you know how to use it.
The internet is really really great........ fp
in 2023 it saddens me to hear you describe the benefits of being a member of the European Union. now British students can no longer come to Germany so easily. It is a pity.
As always when it comes to German related subjects the answer is beer and don't watch German RUclips- channels. Again the answer is beer.
Na dann schwätz doch mal Deutsch in deinen Videos!!
Ich richte kurz einen Vorschlag an sie: bitte sprechen sie deutsch in ihren Videos
HelloTslk isn't right for me... when I'm partnered with any native English speaker, I end up correcting *the mistakes they've made in their own native tongue!*
I guess, that's the curse of being overly educated in any field... I can be a real "Korinthenkacker", when it comes to my languages.
there's a word, I'm in need of a translation, "Korinthenkacker". ;)
