Just wanted to say that this channel has inspired me to continue learning German, and even Indonesian (my original native lang) again, too much time in Australia has worn away my skill there haha. Ich bin einverstanden, Deutsch ist eine schwere Sprache, aber ich interessiere mich sehr für die Kultur und alles, was Deutsch ist. Irgendwann würde ich gerne nach Deutschland reisen, vielleicht auch dort studieren.
After one month and a half learning german, what I found most difficult isn't really the use of the articles, but this prepositions that come with the verbs, man they're sometimes really annoying. At the moment, I am leaning the adjectives. Ein weiteres gutes Video Lina! Danke!

I like your idea of thinking of a collocation as a 'married couple'! 😊 I did German at school (4~5ish years), then spent just as many years doing no German at all, and now I'm trying to get back into it to save it from disappearing altogether. What I struggle with most now is Deklinationen 😭
It is weird as a native german that all this is natural for me.You never think about it butnwhen you see, hear people trying to learn german.It is so weird.
Deutsch war immer eine leichte Sprache für mich. All these difficulties you mentioned, except the cases, I know from my native languages Dutch and Swedish. English was much harder to learn for me. The word order is rather different and strict, and you have to learn not only the spelling but also the pronounciation of every word. Maybe the reverse is also true, i.e. Dutch and Swedish are easier to learn for German speakers than English.
I've been studying German for 2 months now by myself. I think the hardest thing is the cases and what to charge the words to. I'm just trying to ignore it for now. Hopefully it will come more natural in the future for me 😎
Artikel und feste Verbindungen lernt man vielleicht nur am Anfang auswendig. At a specific point, when you are more advanced, everything starts to make sense. You need to always learn the words in a sentence or with these structures. Learning declination tables by heart is senseless.
I’m 5 weeks into German and the the syntax is certainly the most confusing so far. Prepositions are a close second. Memorizing gender is not confusing but it is a pain in der Hintern.
seit Mai diese Jahr habe ich deutcsh gelernen. Und Jetzt im October bin ich schon B1. Ich finde Deutsch ist sehr schwierig! ich weiss nicht, veleicht das ist sehr kurz zeit für mich zu alles worter in meinem kopf haben. did you see my problem? because i don't really know where is the mistake
I've just finished school and went on to college to study languages, German being one of them. Since I did German in school, I was put into an advanced class yet everyone there is either a native speaker or had the opportunity to do a language course in Germany. I feel like my German is not up to par with the others and its kind of intimidating. What should I do hahah😅
You're the most beautiful teacher I've ever seen. Good for schools, you're not teaching kids, they couldn't learn anything :P Respekt, ich bin echt erstaunt, wie viel Disziplin jemand in dem Alter an den Tag legen kann, eine als eine schwieriggeltende Sprache, so schnell gelernt zu haben. Manchmal denke ich, Sie sind eine Deutsche, die Englisch gut beherrscht ;) Meiner Meinung nach sind mir hilfsbereite Menschen wie Sie in Deutschland herzlichst willkommen, auch wenn klar ist, dass Sie bestimmt auch noch keinen Sich-Selbstfüllenden-Kühlschrank haben. Oder machen Sie etwas hauptberuflich und das hier wirklich nur, weil Sie Spaß an Sprachen haben und gern anderen Menschen helfen? Und kann man als Deutscher auch ruhigen Gewissens helfen durch "Klugscheißerei" oder sollte man sich aus dem Lernprozess raus halten?
Hey! I TRIED to learn german for 2 years, attending intensive courses on and off, while living in Berlin and totally failed at it. I finished B1 and still couldn't speak or understand a word, I just knew a lot of grammar and I since I have a good ear for accents, my pronounciation was okay too. Still I couldn't speak, so a good accent was useless. As a Spanish native speaker, who is perfectly fluent in english and french without ever having made an effort for it, I thought german would be a piece of cake..... what a mistake. I moved out of the country, I now live in the french-speaking part of Switzerland, but destiny wanted me to end up with a german boyfriend, so now I'm back at it, 4 years later, and it's already feeling like a nightmare! Since I'm not even in Germany as I was back then I can't practice on a daily basis, and I feel completely stuck and unable to memorize this ridiculous amount of words. One word comes one, another comes out. Also, my schedule doesn't help and while I'm dedicating around 5h a week to it, I don't feel like I'm making much progress, if any. Yet, I genuinely still believe I'm decent or even good at learning languages, at least I have been told this even by my german teachers (madness!), I just don't know how to unlock this language for myself. I tried watching shows and videos, but since I don't understand ANYTHING I get bored quickly, I have never-ending wordlists that I compiled over time and never was able to assimilate most of them, I have used several apps, several books, different types of exercises, 3 different language schools, different learning paces... you name it. I just don't progress and I think it all comes down to the fact that I have a bad memory, and I'm not able to memorize words for long enough for them to become "automatic" at some point (at which point memory stops playing a role, or at least that's how it feels). They vanish too early from my head before that can happen. Any tips? - Btw, I could really use that adjective endings cheat sheet! Thanks for your videos, makes me think that there is hope, although also that I'm a bit handicaped for it. I will keep trying! Cheers, Irene.
i'm a native german speaker and i can't imagine why someone wants to learn german😂 and i can't imagine that german is that hard😂 but i hope you can manage it😄 good luck
der die das. If German just got rid of that it'd be a decent language to learn. If only German was more Afrikaans! Now that's a good, clear, no nonsens Germanic language, with clear honest vowels and consonants. They ditched Dutch feminine and masculine, and streamlined some other stuff too. Such a cool language. Hey, German, be more Afrikaans!
Englisch is so damn weird, I tried it to spell English for 50 years, can't do it, Deutsch ist so einfach lieblich, die Deutsche Sprache ist die beste und die schönste Sprache, ich habe nie in Deutschland oder in Europa gewohnt, English is not really a language. Not even a native american or Canadian can spell it correctly, no wondering. Just listen to this two Videos. ruclips.net/video/EqLiRu34kWo/видео.html one more ruclips.net/video/134EMstdwO4/видео.html
I really liked your video - ich fand dein Video 'Klasse' I live in a part of Germany where we do not really care about grammatics Ich lebe in einem Teil von Deutschland wo wir nicht richtig über Grammatik nachdenken. An example is: the dog of my grandmother We would say: mein Oma sein Hund
@@msbrownie8248 i don't think so because i know some people who've been living in germany (austria aswell) before i was even born (i'm 18 btw) and they're still not fluent or even near fluent ... And germans can easily recognize they have an accent and grammatical mistakes
@@siefmassoud7597 Having an accent is not a "problem" and doesn't have anything to do with fluency. You can be grammatically correct, be fluent and have your own accent. Germans have accents, too.

Hope you get (or already got?) it. And trust me - it's even hard for a lot of germans :)

The way you make your videos is very interesting
Thank you :)
I've found German is a very logical language and die Aussprache ist nicht so schwere.
That was entertaining to watch!

Hallo I've been learning German for a few months now on my own and I'm strugggggggling. 🙂

Yes Dutch and Swedish both feel more intuitive than English to me as a German native speaker.
Stehen - something / somebody IS (already) standing somewhere
Stellen - something / somebody is BEING PUT to stand somewhere
The chart at 4:04 Genitive - shouldn't that be "des kleinen Mannes" and not "des kleinen Mann"???
Yes, you are right, and Kasus order in German is usually 1) Nominativ, 2) Genitiv, 3) Dativ, 4) Akkusativ
I've been studying German for 2 months now by myself. I think the hardest thing is the cases and what to charge the words to. I'm just trying to ignore it for now. Hopefully it will come more natural in the future for me 😎

I know this. I sometimes have to double check to know if the article I am using is right.😂😂
R german and preposition are the most difficult for me at the beginning.

did you see my problem? because i don't really know where is the mistake
your german is really good keep on learning the grammar and you will be able to do it😄
I can't create sentences and learn the article the most of times so I feel afraid maybe?) Idk but it gets me frustrated

German is for germans only
Or
Not to be exaggerating
"German fluency" is for germans only
Sief Massoud that's not the case, if you go and live in Germany for a while as someone that doesn't come from there you will reach fluency
@@msbrownie8248 i don't think so because i know some people who've been living in germany (austria aswell) before i was even born (i'm 18 btw) and they're still not fluent or even near fluent ... And germans can easily recognize they have an accent and grammatical mistakes
