Slow German: Technical German – Linux, Terminal, Commands
This B2-C1 level video is directed towards advanced German learners. In my "slow German" videos I pronounce everything clearly and a bit more slowly than I would speak in real life. However, feel free to slow the video speed down even more in UA-cam's play options!
What is this video about?
This Slow German video fits into the category Advanced German C1 or Technical German, although some B1-B2 learners may be able to understand it just fine (since the focus of vocabulary can vary but grammatically you can still be at the same level as someone who just has a different set of words available to them).
I talk about the usage of the terminal in Linux and a few descriptive terms we can use to describe what we are doing. This is a more general video on computer language or therefore technical German, and you can also apply these new vocabs to other areas, e.g. use with Windows/operating systems in general.
Hope you learned something ;-)

    I found that once you crack into a foreign language and can hold a conversation, additional foreign languages come easier. I had a summer internship with a french company and left thinking in French. Later in life, I had a job with a german company which didn't require me to speak german, but german was unavoidable with people all around me speaking german. skills from french helped my direction in learning german. One technique thatnis fun is to learn foreign songs and understand their meaning. German weihnachtslieder are fun and present skill in timing, pronunciation and grammar. Not always perfectly due to having to fit a melody but it gets in your head. Most americans my age learned "Frere Jaques" and many learned "Schnitzelbank". There are the Oktoberfest songs. It is more fun to learn and sing them than to sit stupidly and listen. As for Christmas, my favorite is the kinderlied, "In der weihnachts Backerei".

    How did you learn English like that in 6 months? Did you go to an English-speaking country? I understand your educational background and how you obtained the basics (same as me) but to speak as well as you do is amazing. I have studied Spanish, French, and German and cannot speak as well as you do in English. Hours per day? Listening to podcasts and movies? Conversation tutor? I’m going to do all that you suggest to improve in general. There is a huge difference between basic sentences and what you have accomplished with conventional skill level. Thx for a great video.

    • @LearnGermanorcrytrying
      @LearnGermanorcrytrying Місяць тому

      The core vocabulary took me 2 months. It was basically just binge watching. I was a nurse at the time and so I had a looooot of time to waste. Like after work... 😅 And I just watched Grey's Anatomy and Black Books. I didn't understand shit for 3 seasons, then I found some better streaming server and suddenly it was possible to watch this stuff in HD. That made it much easier to understand. But I guess the secret kicker was talking to myself on English for fun... I never went to an English speaking country in my life and in my everyday life apart from work I only ever use it for UA-cam. Maybe I should do another video on this...

      There are many ways to learn english pretty fast. Although, learning something fast doesnt mean you have a good understanding of it. In fact, many people struggle quite a lot when they started advanced level since they take the language directly instead of taking it more poetically or ironic. Knowledge can be speed up but taking breaks might be better. In my case, I learned grammar first and then started with the vocabulary. Then after grasping the language, you could start thinking whether ur accent is British or American. I will say accents are pretty easy to learn but might take time to apply it everyday. Lastly, the biggest struggle in english. Pronunciation. Pronunciation might take many years, but many, I haven't seen people, who claim to have learned an advanced levek, to speak with the perfect Pronunciation. British people might struggle less but it is so pleasant when you can speak perfectly. It's so rewarding. Another tip would be talking to yourself and learning random words and guess their Pronunciation. You can learn the words, but the key is to have that muscle memory even if the word has an irregular pronunciation. Those cases need to be kept in mind.

Cause it really doesn't fucking matter. What matters more is what a) I know about myself b) my experience with students and c) the fact that most people don't even remember basic math 2 years after high school so no, software and technology engineering, I did in fact not "learn" it. And also, what school is going on for 16 years, unless you repeat 5 times and also start your first foreign language in grade 1. Maybe go back to a school and uhm, learn some primary school mathematics.

    • @LearnGermanorcrytrying
      @LearnGermanorcrytrying Місяць тому

      I tried understanding BE for the longest time and it was super hard. I watched "Black Books" with Dylan Moran and Harry Potter, it was undoable without subtitles. Then I took a break from English, as I literally thought it was a lost cause. That was about 2-3 years, from 19 to 21 or 22 y.o. I guess. Then I watched Grey's Anatomy, which is when I got from A2 to C1 basically in a few months. I did that in 2 months, but I don't want to give unrealistic expectations to my audience, since I am totally insane for doing this the way I did and don't recommend it. I refined my language to get to C2 then for about half a year (overall). My kid had New Zealandic nannies, and I do understand it, as it seems quite a clean dialect. I don't mind any dialects at this point. The only ones I have a hard time understanding is Frenglish and Denglish. And I find Irish people hard to understand when they talk in English, but it is doable with a bit of concentration. American English imo is by far the easiest. One key I had to understanding it was HD audio. I used to stream these series back then and I always thought I had shitty listening comprehension. But it turned out the quality of the audio was just very low. Eventually, I came across some HD server (totally legal...) and streamed that and it felt like putting on glasses for the first time... so, if you want to simulate a steep learning curve, fake shitty audio I guess XD

    Language classes in school are so lifeless and boring, I think we develop this expectation that that's how learning a new language has to be.

To this day I can't understand how they got me, as a highly motivated autodidact who would spend her summer break studying for fun(!), to hate language classes and think I sucked at it... (But looking at my old books now, partially at least, I can feel why it didn't work for me, the medium, the teachers, just everything was so far away from life...)
