    So it's possible to learn German so fast since german is a quite logical language compared to English.

    As someone trying to learn german, it felt great to realize I could just close my eyes, listen and actually understand everything you said/everything you talked about. Despite not understanding every single word I never found myself lost or confused about what you were saying which feels like a (for me) major milestone, which is very motivating for me in that it feels like I'm actually getting somewhere.
    Your story also is very motivating, that it absolutely can be possible in shorter timespans if one only puts the time in. Thanks!

      @@allinwarda5894 Not very long, I learnt a little bit in school but very little, just like Jay said in the video I just wasn't very interested for some reason. For maybe 1-2 years now I've just made the habit of looking up german words that seem recurrent in the language that I don't understand. And I keep doing that until they kind of stick. I sometimes try to listen to german media of different sorts, podcasts etc. Even though it's often very tiring for me (kind of exhausting for the brain), sometimes I understand most of what's being said and sometimes I almost don't understand anything at all.
      Now I've only just started using duolingo and have practised a little bit every day the past week or so. The more I learn the more motivated I seem to get which is nice.
      Also I'm from Sweden and know english fluently which I feel has given me a sort of head start, since german is a language that's a little bit inbetween english and swedish.

    As a Dutch speaker that speaks German fluently, the way your sentences flow is incredibly impressive. Also the fact that you put a random “ja” as a filler word shows that you’re comfortable. Of course over time your accent will improve, but it sounds kinda nice tbh, it has something of a historic German-American feel to it. Think Pennsylvanian Dutch. My advice it to listen to natural spoken German in street interviews and consume youth related YT channels and news like DW Deutsch to build up vocab! You’re amazing.

      Really stunned. Kinda funny you practice German in Mexico, Guatemala. Keep on insisting to try it in German, Not too easily switch to English. Nice motivation that you envy someone that speaks 1,2,3 languages and you're the best proof that it's feasible. Same like playing an music instrument, not necessarily in school class but later on. Therefore I am very sorry for British students to loose the opportunity to study abroad within Erasmus programme.

      You need to find a different method. It also helps a great deal to listen to German music, watch German shows, and listen to German videos especially in subjects you are interested in. If you can it also helps to find a German friend. I haven’t quite reached the point I can construct many sentences in German but I have been studying for less than a month and I already know probably about a few hundred words and am learning many new words everyday, still have to work on my word endings and when to use Die, Der, Das.
      You may have already found a method right for you since this comment comes a year later.

    I watched this video a couple years ago and was only reading the subtitles. Now I can understand what you’re saying or read the subtitles and think in my head what I would say in German and it’s mostly the same as what you say. It’s hard to feel proud of my own progress because it has been so slow over years but it’s finally at a tipping point where I feel that I can do something with this language now. I went to school up to B1.1 and hope to continue again when I have time.

German is a pretty language and it deserves much more love and recognition, and it's never too late to learn a new language. Have a nice day Jay!

    Im not confident enough to comment in german, but the fact that i was able to follow the story (while multitasking!) gives me so much hope. I took 3 years of german in high school in the US, which isnt exactly known for teaching foreign language effectively. The content was very limited, but i did have the privilege of being taught by a native speaker. I tried maintaining and improving it on Duolingo for awhile and got close to maybe B1, but i haven't touched german in over 5 years since there isn't really any german speaking community here. I just got back on Duolingo to get started again (i know its not sufficient, but im in school full time and working part time), and im genuinely motivated to move forward. Not feeling any pressure to learn is surprisingly helpful.

Erst dann wenn es einen interessiert kann man Rechtschreibung lernen, im deutschen verwirrt die Grammatik nur zu sehr, sodass sich falsche Gewohnheiten entwickeln.
