You can do the same thing in any language it's just in most languages you add spaces in German you don't that' the only strong difference. Prime example are numbers, is two thousand two hundred twenty two a one word to you zweitausendzweihundertzweiundzwanzig? I don't care that it doesn't have spaces and is considered thus a "word".

      I don’t think that’s the reason why she claimed you sounded French. Although French and Spanish are both Romance languages, their similarities are strictly lexical and grammatical. French phonology is much closer to that of German than that of Spanish. French and German share the uvular R (guttural R) and frequent labialization (vowels pronounced with rounded lips).

    I studied German for two years while in high school, and actually found it easier than Spanish (which I studied for four years). German and English are linguistically "cousin" languages, hence the obvious similarities in much of the vocabulary: what I found hair-pullingly difficult and annoying are the grammatical rules involving the indefinite particles...the definite articles (der, das und die) are fairly straightforward. Other than that, sometimes its kinduv fun to sing along with Beethoven, Wagner or Mahler...one can almost sound as romantic as an Italian...almost.

      In a couple of ways your knowledge of English can be helpful for learning German.
      The structures of simple sentences is the same: subject - predicate - object.
      If a verb has an irregular declination in English then the corresponding German does have one too:
      go - went - gone
      gehen - ging - gegangen
      Some general similarities in vocabulary:
      house - Haus (even the pronounciation is similar)
      mouse - Maus
      ladder - Leiter
      book - Buch
      Apple- Apfel
      to have - haben
      to give - geben
      to speak - sprechen
      to love - lieben
      and - und
      what? - was?
      when? - wann?
      over - über
      under - unter

      I read somewhere that Turkish immigrants to Germany had a hard time buying a loaf of bread. They’d go into a bakery, and the person behind the counter would say, “Morgen”. Since “Morgen” means both “morning” and “tomorrow”, the Turks assumed the counter person was telling them to come back the next day. So they would go back the next day and repeat the same morbid ritual. But I hope/assume they speak better German now, if they’re able to ask their customers if they want their Doener Kebabs “mit allem.”

Still with that, plus having German friends and many years of trying to learn German well, "Ich spreche nur ein bischen Deutsch". I'm fine with the grammar, it's the vocabulary and pace of conversation that trips me up. Not being around German speakers most of the time, it's hard to master. You need to practice. With that said, I have participated in a couple of the early 'Happy German/Learn German with Anja' levels and must say they are very well done.

However after university I moved to Italy and had to study Italian, I didn’t practice German for like 5 years. Then I went to Berlin and I felt so dumb cause I couldn’t even ask a simple thing like direction, I literally had to google “how to say WHERE in German” and when I saw it was “wo” I was like omg what a shame it’s only 2 letters and you don’t even remember that!! 😂🤦🏻🙈 I regret not practicing German, nothing feels worse than forgetting a whole language. I never really spoke it like Italian, but still… I feel like the best way to learn a language (and not forget it) is to find some unique stuff you like that only exist in a certain language (like German songs or tv shows🙄)

By far the best way to learn a language is reading. Every other way to learn a language is nowhere near as effective, as the way we learn a language is holistic.

    Not sure if I'm the only one (surely not) but I have always found German rather easy to learn. We learned French and Latin at school and Germany was only a possibility in the second to last year of secondary school (it was age 16 then, when we were preparing to sit University Entrance exams) and while I'm useless at Latin - pity because I love the language - somehow it seemed that learning all about endings and declensions etc suddenly made so much sense in regards to German at least.
    That was over 4 decades ago now and I've recent decided to return to learning and discovered that when I started using Duolingo to learn (it's free is why that tutorial) I remembered a lot more than I thought I would - especially compared to French, least said the better there - and it was almost as though it was not much different to English in many respects. I look forward to continuing with my lessons as it is a great language to learn.

    Its not a myth that every german knows all the DIN Deutsche Industrie Norm (German Industrial Standards) from memory. Were taught to learn them so that even if our teacher would wake us up at 3 o clock we wouldnt hesitate even half a second to respond the right answer. Also all germans have the same finger, arm, leg size so that we can work more efficiently because we dont need a ruler we just take our body and calculate 100 measurements at once while staring at people to make them uncomfortable.

    When it comes to sentence construction I agree that German is more complicated than other languages I know.
    But the freedom of expression is worth it. I feel quite restricted at times when I use English.
    An example is the sentence "You have done that well."
    No other word sequence is correct in English.
    Now 6 German sentence versions, each with another emphasis:
    1. Du hast das gut gemacht. (Same as English)
    2. Das hast Du gut gemacht. (Focus on what you did well.)
    3. Gut hast Du das gemacht. (Praise level 2)
    4. Gut gemacht hast Du das. (Max. praise level 3)
    5. Hast Du das gut gemacht. (Astonishment because of your achievement)
    6. Gemacht hast Du das gut. ("gut" is hidden away at the end of the sentence. So there is a problem or catch associated with your achievement.)
    I hope I could shed some light on the chirurgical precision of expressing myself in my mother tongue.

    Very funny, as usual; but you could have mentioned three other major advantages to learning German. The first one is that, the moment you speak German to them although obviously or knowingly so a foreigner, Germans will start speaking to you in your own mother tongue, if they are even just vaguely aware of it and the German accent on it will make you smile. Then, it is also so that you can enjoy to the full the irony of watching German speakers making videos in English so that more people interested in Germany or the German language can follow. And last, but not least, if you are French and the man you love is a German, speaking English as a common language would be like thinking in higher concepts and details, yet communicating at the lowest of levels with the person most important to you.

    I have German ancestry, and dad knew some German from school. He taught me a few words when I was a kid (ein, zwei, drei... Bitte, etc) which fueled my desire to learn the language. I learned some Spanish in high school, but in college I really wanted to learn German so I took 3 semesters of it. I love it. I know the basics, further along than Spanish, and I'm continuing learning on duolingo rn and I want more ways to learn (but don't have much money to spare). I would love to go to Germany someday. It would probably help me learn German.
    Actually flying on a German airline to Rome on my graduation trip my aunt took me on helped jumpstart my desire to learn it. I had always thought of it as a harsh ish language, from tv etc, but the announcer at the airport made it sound melodic.

      i recommend the yt channel Natürlich German, she teaches vocab without any english, using pictures, drawings, slow speech instead.
      other methods dont work since they expect you to translate in your head, which no one does with their native language. with natürlich german, since they teach without any english, you get to take a concept and put it into a word, skipping the entire translation process, making you a more proficient speaker (i can only speak like that after months of purely listening though, so try to avoid speaking in the beginning. speaking should only be used while watching videos so you can imitate pronunciation, which is essential with german)
      also, i recommend spending most of your time using this, as it’s really the most effective method. maybe a little bit of grammar study on the side, but learning the language like in school doesn’t work (it’s why only 1% of people who learn languages in school can actually be proficient at it). just spend months immersing, and then you’ll find the speaking process so so much easier. i also know of other channels similar to Natürlich German, so you can get a lot of immersion.
