As a native German speaker I will literally never stop being fascinated by how natural your German sounds. Like honestly, if I wasn't listening too closely I would say you're a native speaker!! Keep up the great work 😊
baeeee thank you!! that's good, don't listen too hard 🤣
Your German studying videos are never get bored to me and got me motivation to study more. Please make more German study videos. Du bist am besten.
thanks boo!! how sweet
When I took Spanish in high school they made us use a monolingual dictionary, and it was actually really helpful for me because it helped me stop translating in my head. I was even learning words in Spanish without knowing the “correct” translation into English.
yeah you can learn hella synonyms that way!
But... doesn't it slow you down because you have to create new concepts in your mind instead of using the ones you already have?
@@TinaKGreene No actually it is a really good way to build up and helps you become more fluent. It is efficient if you already enough some basics. It builds up on those basic vocabulary. It would take way longer for you to learn the language if you were constantly translating it to understand.
As a Korean student studying in the US, this keeps me motivated to study English. And thanks for the English subtitles! It helps me a lot.
awww keep being amazing boo 💜 and you’re welcome, i know i have a diverse audience so i’m happy to do it!
I love your videos, & as a German learner your videos are always filled with immensely useful advice and tips! And on top of that hilarious
I know I’m just another you tuber commenter but honestly big ❤️ thank you !
just another commenter?! i read all my comments! i appreciate u immensely
I like your cheeky humor.. it's off the charts witty
Elysse it's been a minute!! Keep up the grind :)
Nate!! espero estés bien, thanks for stopping by ˜
giiirlll!! I loved your studying vlog-ish video. I really enjoyed and also Ive got so many infos that will be extremely useful for me while Im learning German. Thank youuuuu
i'm glad i could be of use!! :D good luck friend
You're so extra gurl lool, I actually can practice my English with your vlogs and also a little bite of German that's my fav lenguage i'm rlly begginer with it but is so grateful listen to u speaking. I love your humor, glück auf!
extra 😹 i hope in a good way!! i’m glad you enjoyed boo, thanks for watching
@@elyssespeaks don't worry, it was in a good way 🥺🧡 thx to u for the vlog!
I'm so happy that you are back! I love your videos (they're really well done) and you inspire me a lot. Please continue 🙏❤️
i’ll be here :)
Great video Elysse!! Always fun watching your vids, including the ones related to your language learning journey 👍😊 You definitely inspire me to continue working on my Spanish. Maybe one day I’ll give German a shot! 👍 Keep it up!
honestly the contrast between the languages might be fun for you! good luck marc
To be fair I do own a Shakespeare anthology in French that I'm hoping to read this year 😅
I love language vlogs and I looooved the editing for this one it was so fun (but also omg not the tutor on her phone the whole time 💀)
Glad you found your shoutout boo 💜😹 and I stand corrected!! I just thought I remembered you reading more fiction. And thank you I literally spent way more time than necessary on this
I really enjoy Pons dictionary for various uses of words and idiomatic expressions.
17:53 WAAAAATCH IT. It’s so good and the ending perfectly matches the beginning. Wie sie sagen „der Anfang ist das Ende, und das Ende ist der Anfang“
tooooo trippyyy.... i'm still watching it!
Yeah!! I have been waiting for sooo long for another video!!!
more to come boo! thanks for watching
Good thing I'm not the only one who doesn't like Anki. I think it's more effective if you learn 10 words per day than like 50 or so with anki and half of the words there you might not need them as a beginner.
I honestly should try it out! My dislike is pretty unfounded, it's all on impression... i'm glad you've figured it out :)
I like anki for the fact that I can create my own flashcards. I prefer creating mine than using theirs
The good thing with Anki is you don't have to know/think about the "mathy" part of it. It just does it in the background for you. Part of the reason I prefer it to Quizlet. The UI part I agree with you, quizlet has a lot more love there (probably a lot more people working on it as well)
for sure… i was mostly joking, but i hope anki gets an aesthetic upgrade soon! hahaha
Your videos are great! Also, you should try ‘Criminal: Germany’. It’s a series set in multiple countries and it’s really good!
I’ll look into it! danke Ntukwasi :)
It's nice to have you back!, nice video 😎
thanks! it's nice to be back :)
Que gusto volver a ver un nuevo video tuyo!!✨❤️✨
que gusto tenerte en mis comentarios! 😹💜 gracias por verlo
Hey Elysse! I reaaally enjoyed the video, very useful, inspirational and funny! keep it going:)
hi Ambar!! you’re so sweet, thank you for taking time to watch :)
"Podcast and chores" is the best ❤ or podcast while walking 🚶♀🎧
soooo relaxing!! it’s crazy hahaha
Gush I love your video!! Like you are motivating me so much to keep studying German and how to learn more vocab and talk better. I mean next year I will have "Die Reifeprüfung" (In Polish it's "matura") so I have to study German to you know get this with high score. So thank you so much for your video and I hope we will see more of your German Learning content, because it's so motivating! Thanks for your effort!
Thanks for watching!! it means just as much
I loved it!! Would love to see a french study vlog
Try out Charité! It goes through German History, so it seems very interesting. I'm about to start it, but I confess I'm procrastinating cause the vocabulary is C1 and I'm not quite there yet
what’s Charité, a show? i’ll put this on the list!
@@elyssespeaks Yes, it's a show! Each season is set in a different time, it sounded amazingly interesting - and it's just your German level, too :)
Your German Sounds 98% perfect. That‘s insane!!!!😍😍😍😍
I‘d recommend Dogs of Berlin if you are into criminal stuff. One of the first shows i watched in German and honestly i loved it!
on my list!
You are so fluent. I'm german and you sound like a native
nooooo pls don’t hype me like this i feel like i’m gonna get a false ego 😭 thank you!!
I love ur videos💕🇩🇪
Please post more like this🙏
Good job!! I can relate to a lot of things you said and also the methods you use my German is okay but I really like exploring different ways to learn more :)
it’s the only thing that keeps me motivated!! i hate getting into ruts. youtube is one of my fav places to check out other peoples techniques :)
Glad to see more people recommending Clozemaster!
as it should be!! great minds think alike 😌💜
Everything you said Anki resonates with my whole being.
Anki messes with me too. over and over I try and I hate it. DARK was so so DARK, I couldn't take it. Well done, yeah but pessimistic as hell. Now 1899 the new show by the same folks is AMAZING!
Two movies that I always recommend are "Fack Ju Göhte" and "Türkisch für Anfänger". They are comedy and stories about two cultures or classes learing to interact with each other. It shows typical Stereotypes in a humor way. These are classic German teenie movies :)
This was good! -- interesting, and it helped me with motivation...
im glad boo 💜
I've recently been binging your videos - you seem like a really sweet person and you're very encouraging when it comes to language learning. Just a note, at 2:11 Shakespeare actually isn't Old English, it's Early Modern English! Old English is *very* different from modern English. I don't know why it bothers me, I just had to get that out there 😭😂
thank you!! that means a lot. and yes lolol i’m very aware, in the process of making this video i watched it approximately 30 times and you kind of pick up on the things you say when you’re just trying to talk for a video. I’m a native speaker so i kno
sometimes i have to repeat stuff 3-4x before what i’m trying to say comes out correctly, so it’s just kinda frustrating when that’s the comment people leave on your video haha
Ich kann dir die Serie „Mord mit Aussicht“ empfehlen. Der Humor ist etwas anders, aber wenn man sich darauf einlässt, dann kann man dabei auch einiges über Deutsche Kultur lernen.
Btw your german is so good if i didn’t know that your a non-nativ speaker i wouldn’t actually hear a difference. Your motivating me to keep on going with learning Spanish so thank you very much for your videos
i love your vlogs.
🥺 thank you!
glad to see Elysse's back
the boyyys are back in town (it’s me, i’m the boys, and i am very apologetic for my absence)
@@elyssespeaks relaxa. a ausência foi por uma boa causa
Please make another „From the bottom of my bunk“ episode. I love those. You could try making it in German. Greetings from Germany:)☺️
awww i haven’t made one of those in years. i’ll think about it! thanks for sticking around for so long!
I loved the little edits lol 😂
❤️
You should def play around with Anki. In my expereince, there isn't really any math to it. I see videos about playing with the settings but you 0% have to do that. I would say Anki excels at customization. You can do a lot of cool stuff with Anki. My cards have a lot of audio and gifs and different colors. Once you get into it almost feels like crafting. I used the Fluent Forever book and Anki to learn German, and it was the really fun. Figuring out how to use Anki to simultaneously learn grammar, pronunciation, spelling, and vocab was the trick of it. Don't sleep on it. But I did try Clozemaster based on your recommendation and really dug it.
Also Weissensee is my favorite German TV show. A drama set in the DDR which mostly feels like a prestige TV show, but occasionally deliciously veers into soap opera territory.
Welcome back
Thanks
Dark und WhoamI are both soooo good.
Dieses Video ist sehr toll! Ich Wünsche, dass ich nächstes Jahr perfekt Deutsch sprechen könnte. An Columbus Tag!!
Ich glaube an dich! Weiter so :)
"Die Discounter" is a new Series on Amazon Prime and its filmed in The Office style. Veryy funny but maybe a little hard to understand :)
Hmmm I’ll put it on the list! Thanks boo!
Excelente video y saludos desde Ecuador! 🇪🇨✋😀
saludos querido!!’
aaaah que bom assistir vídeos novos do seu canal, Elysse!!! (e vou usar isso como motivação pra parar de procrastinar e estudar as línguas que tô tentando aprender kkkkk)
NÃOOOO PROCRASTINE 😭 mas é bom ter a sua atençao por agora kkk
New books, very pretty!!!! I do have new books I bought before the internet that I'll get around to one day...:and keep adding more decade after decade. I think the smell makes you feel clever or something.
definitely bro
What, you even reply to comments from a six month old video! I'm learning Spanish and my son is learning German, so I've been watching a lot of the language learning videos online, and yours pop up a lot.
As a native German speaker I don't really know why I'm watching this - but I guess I am intrigued by your accent, it's barely there! Amazing 🤩
you have to watch ,,türkisch für Anfänger''. Its basically a a german woman who got together with a turkish man and they are living together now but like the children don't really get along and its like a suuuppper funny series. You may wanna change your netflix to german in order to find the series because i'm not sure you'll find it with the american netflix settings. have fun :)
Heyy, kannst du bitte ein Video über die verschiedene wichtige Apps und Websites machen?..das ware sehr hilfreich😊Und ein kleine Tip fur Dark...dont focus on the characters a lot happens and my mind was not able to keep up with everything so just watch and enjoyyy✨✨
I’ve pretty much explained all of them, I really don’t use that many websites/apps 😅 look at my other German vids for reference! and i’ll make sure to do that hahaha Dark is crazy
hab so oft von Clozemaster gehört, aber es irgendwie nie selbst genutzt. aber durch deine stories und jetzt das video hab ich es mir ENDLICH mal runtergeladen für Koreanisch. better late than never ne
Better late than never!! Es ist sehr einfach, aber es funktioniert gut. Ich mag es, zwischen meinen Vorlesungen schnell zu üben hehe
@@elyssespeaks habs jetzt mal ausprobiert & ist echt nice für zwischendurch :) und ich hoff du schaust DARK bis zum Ende weiter. ehrlich beste deutsche Show
Fantastic to see you back, Elysse! You were very much missed! I just began French ( with Alliance Francaise via Zoom; 2 hrs/week) and wondered if you might have any tips on how to best supplement my (paltry) classes. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Merci! Secondly, many months back, I recall you mentioning a way to shoot some $ your way (some "buy a coffee" thing, if I recall correctly). More to the point, how can I send you some $ exactly, given your longstanding, altruistic linguistic help? Thirdly, German-language movies: I just saw "Land of Mine". Excellent! A dour topic, but historically quite accurate. It's a movie that's not "fun" to see but important to see. Hinweis: Keep booze or narcotics at the ready. Again, wonderful to see you and to know that things are well on your end, Elysse. Grüß aus Nord Kalifornien!
Hello Raymond! i’m not sure how Alliance Francaise goes, but if it doesn’t involve a lot of speaking, make sure you take private lessons (italki, preply, etc are good options) to make sure you’re exercising the course material enough. speaking will make it stick!
and as for a $ tip, i leave my Ko-fi (that’s the coffee thing) in the video description! if you look at the description under the video you’ll find it there. any help is appreciated, thanks so much!! it’s hard for a college girl out here 😅
And i’ll put land of mine on my list! thank u so much for watching my videos!
Oh, I have this dictionary, I use as door holder sometimes. Greetings from Brazil.
HAHAHA que engraçado
@@elyssespeaks Excelente dicionário, segura a porta como se fosse um saco de cimento
Morta
Just started today. Binging on youtube german videos.
Wooooo go you!
Good video German is hard but I'm keep trying vielen.dank. 🙂🙂🙂
its hard but the work is WORTH it, don’t give up!
I made the grave mistake of stopping for *months* and I'm a beginner (meaning, I could be B2 by now, but my class has kept us at A1-A2 for 3 years and we missed at least one full semester... *cries in random French Public University* ). I have an exam today ^^' bye bye to my 16/20 (like a 2 in Germany? maybe 2-). Wish me luck at best.
I was in fact since here since 2019 😌
A slay,,,
Yo that intro to this video was fire man!!🔥☄ I was just wondering where you get the music from still??😮🤔
it’s a tiktok song! hahaha it’s called you can do it
@@elyssespeaks ohh right...damn, tiktok lowkey got that heat heat I see🧐...hahaha but thank you very much Elysse!🙏🏽😂 Your content is lit🔥 so keep doing your thing.👌🏽👊🏽
We don't use the correct forms when using indirect discourse in German. Even newspapers, like the Tagesschau, get it wrong which is so annoying. But yeah, I think we have collectively given up on that grammar
HAHAHA this makes me feel better, i’m still gonna try though out of respect 😹
nice laptop! 😊
German shows that are dope af: Tribes of Europa (Emilio Sakarya thooo 😍), Billion Dollar Code, Babylon Berlin, How to Sell Drugs Online, Dark… there’s a ton of really good German shows out rn!
Oh, I really liked Biohackers too! And I watched Jujutsu Kaisen and Demon Slayer in German, if you like anime 🤷🏽♀️
Sind sie nur in Deutschland verfügbar?
Totally agree with you. Did you watch Kitz? It's a new one, but I heard a lot of good reviews.
@@elyssespeaks Also, Dark war glaube ich internationaler erfolgreicher als in Deutschland, demnach müsste es das auch im Ausland geben. Ich kann zur Liste noch Biohackers hinzufügen. Bald kommt auch ne neue Serie raus, die sich 1899 nennt. Allerdings wird dort nicht nur Deutsch, sondern international gesprochen werden.
Ich habe sie in den USA angeschaut! Ich denke, dass sie alle hier verfügbar sind
I haven’t finished watching the video but I had to write this down before I forgot 😅 will you be making a video about your project on IG where you’ve been posting smth in German and noting down the feedback you get?
sure will!
Consider getting a VPN! You would be able to access German Netflix and watch all German content - simply switch your US IP-address to Germany or any other country.
Ive heard this recommendation before but I think i’m too dumb 😭 I should get my boyfriend to do it for me. let’s go patriarchy!
Which English-Deutsch, D-E, dictionary would you recommend?
Im having so much difficulty for forming sentences ahhhh i think i need more vocabulary
I have the same problem. I think once i’m done with this grammar workbook i’ll focus more on acquiring vocab! 🧘♀️
@@elyssespeaks thanks I'll try to formulate more sentences on my own . Do u have any tips of website to correct my sentences in German?
Ich schaue gerade Biohacker auf Netflix. Die Show spielt in Freiburg und es ist ziemlich einfach mit Untertiteln zu verstehen. Da habe ich eine Menge nützlichen neuen Wörter gefunden. Ich weiß doch nicht, ob es auf amerikanischen Netflix gibt
Oh,yes! I loved it ! Surprisingly, we have it on Russian Netflix (mit deutsche Untertiteln ) 👀
i am also learning german
I love Isi & Ossi on Netflix
" i dont understand why people like anki" .... i feel the same
oop 🤭
Honestly I prefer Quizlet over Anki I feel with Quizlet it’s more organized and more interactive. Plus Anki is very boring.
Does Quizlet work offline? I just like Anki cuz it works offline but it's kinda of boring 🙂😂
No, since it’s just a website (not installed) you need a wifi or data connection to use it boo. Maybe they have a downloading option? I’m not sure!
Hey, I was wondering if you actually study all your languages at uni or if you do that additionally to your uni classes?
I have a minor in Spanish at my uni (so I still mostly learned it myself) but that’s it! It’s pure hobby and self-study.
@@elyssespeaks wow that's really impressive :) I just started learning swedish next to studying English at uni (I'm German) and I think it can be quite tough to make time for a whole new language! But I guess if the motivation is there and you love learning languages it all works out :)
1:50 I can definitely can relate to that. I be like "why not learn German with a bilingual version of the incredibly ambiguous and figurative verses of rilke?"
I am an almost native german polyglott :) If you would like to,we could do a language exchange. Maybe you could help me with Portuguese und Spanisch and English .
I love Clozemaster! But mine is only multiple choice for Spanish. Was that the premium version or am I missing something?
Disregard. Clearly hadn’t opened the app in a minute 🤦🏾♀️
glad it’s working for u!!
#1: la música en este video: sí
además
me morí @ la gomita 💀
cuantos gramos fue?!
ps tenemos algunas gomitas de buen sabor en California 💫
Fueron solo 5 gramos 😭 soy debil for sure
tal vez les visito allá y me llevo unas 👀
2:28 "doesnt mean it's not excitinggg,,🤗 haahaahahaha
Rawdoggin’ it 😂😂😂
i said 🤭 oop lemme not alienate my younger audience 🤣
Clozemaster is an SRS, just as Anki is
Schau dir die Serie Deutschland 83 an, die ist soooo gut!
ich werde es auf die Liste stellen!!
as a japanese speaker the opening music was hilarious😂
HAHA it goes hard
Hast du der Film "Vier Minuten" auf Netflix gesehen? Ich emphele es dir.
Noch nicht! Ich hoffe, es ist verfügbar in den USA 😅
Diese Gummies scheinen genau das zu sein, was ich brauche.
Die sind es! Ist Gras legal in Deutschland?
@@elyssespeaks Nein. Die neue Regierung (SPD/Grüne/FDP) überlegt, es zu legalisieren.
Haschisch ist ein sehr altes Wort
I had a problem w the context and the number of characters in Dark but at the third try I loved it 😂
Another good German TV series is Babylon Berlin.
do you have a method to study the cases?
Not really, I depended on studying in my grammar book and then speaking practice with a tutor.
Just a little fyi
Shakespeare is early modern english, old english would be beowulf
Anyways love ur videos c:
It was a slip of the tongue! Loool thank ya :)
I would highly recommend you to watch movies which are interesting for you. As example I like to watch good Animes ( with a good story) or just good fantasy movies or series. If I start to watch boring stuff, of course I wouldn't learn anything.
So yeah, start focussing on stuff which you like and prefer. Grüße aus Deutschland😊🤗
Hast du nicht ein VPN, um Sendungen zu gucken?
Kein VPN :/
@@elyssespeaks Aber sie sind so nutzlich! Und bestimmt fuer du, mit so viele Sprachen.
I am always amazed at how you speak German without any accent 😍
Edit: I know that you made a video about how you eliminated your accent 👍
Awww danke!! I try very hard hahaha
ist es besser deutsch in deutschland zu lernen? Ich komme aus Indien
Weiß ich nicht! Ich habe die Sprache nur in meinem eigenen Land gelernt 😅
@@elyssespeaks oh okay take care have a nice day
We say Hashish in Arabic as well 🤯
:0
Wird niemand ihr sagen, was der Gummi heißt? 😅 "Ich hoffe, dieser Gummi mich entspannen lassen kann"
Es tut mir leid, ich bin kein Muttersprachler aber ich habe so gedacht, dass dieses Wort nicht heißt wie es sich anhört
Hmmm keine Ahnung
Ihre deutsch ist sehr gut ich Kann nicht verstehen die grammatik
Grüße aus Brasilien!
Liebe Grüßeeee
Warum spiegelverkehrt?
Warum nicht! Ich dachte, es besser aussah hahaha
I highly recommend you to watch (dogs of berlin ) 🔥🔥🔥
on my list Jawa!!!
