I love German tutorial videos because it’s my native language and it’s so wholesome reading all the comments from the people learning this language! Good luck ❣️
I'm listening and repeating this every day for two hours with small breaks in between. And I'm nailing it. Hardwork plays off. Ofcourse I keep forgetting pronunciation if i don't come back. So it's all about practising everyday Duolingo is not bad at all. Best wishes to you all♥️
ich höre und wiederhole das jeden Tag zwei Stunden lang mit kleinen Pausen dazwischen und ich packe es fleiß Spielt sich ab natürlich vergesse ich immer wieder die Aussprache wenn ich nicht zurückkomme es geht also darum den Alltag zu üben Duolingo ist überhaupt nicht schlecht liebe Grüße an euch alle lg Jule Halfer 👑🔥😱

Spent a couple of years about 10 years ago teaching myself German by memorising around 200 words & practising occasionally with a German born mate. While I can make myself understood, constantly speaking is the only way to learn correctly. Putting the second verb at the end of a sentence useing correct grammar is also hard to get my head around. I do enjoy the challenge though.
200 words are nowhere near to learning any language on out planet 😅 In 10 years I could learn 10 different languages myself if I wanted to, of course I would not be able to speak as good as a native speaker but it would do its purpose 👍🏻 Ich hoffe für dich, dass du einen anderen Weg gefunden hast, beziehungsweise finden wirst um Deutsch richtig zu lernen wenn du es wirklich möchtest. Sprachen zu lernen im Allgemeinen ist sehr schwer aber mit der richtigen Methode und dem Willen dahinter schafft man das. Viel Erfolg und alles Gute weiterhin 👍🏻 If you are able to understand the german part of my comment, then you are a step closer of getting to know the german language ✌🏻 Maybe someday you'll be able to speak it fluently and become better than most of the ones who tried before 🤞🏻
I listened to the first 10 minutes, as a German native speaker I have to add that the sentence "Sie sind bereit, ein neues Haus zu haben." is not sounding very natural in German. I get that it sounds natural in English to speak that way but we rarely use "haben" in this way at least not when talking to someone. Instead of "ein neues Haus zu haben" we would say: "Sie sind bereit für ein neues Haus" -so we don't need "zu haben" at all. So in this case we would use "für" as a translation of the English "to have". Notice that the sentence structure isn't changing at all here, compared to the rather cumbersome sounding use of "zu haben". You can still talk like that and every German speaker will understand what you mean but it will make you sound a bit like a child ;) -Second part with "Ich habe eine Menge Arbeit zu tun" This is likely something an English native speaker would do, as you guys love to add "to do" or just "do". In German "tun" is considered to be a low quality word, we don't "do", we rather leave that word out completely or replace it with something meaningful. The "correct" German phrase would be "Ich habe eine Menge Arbeit" as you don't need to add the "to do" part, because it's obvious that you will have "to do" the work. What you can add here is the reason for having a lot of work to do, which would be a very common way of speaking actually. "Ich habe eine Menge Arbeit wegen dir" - "I have a lot of work (to do) because of you" or "Ich habe eine Menge Arbeit weil es regnet" "I have a lot of work (to do) because it's raining". Also note that "eine Menge" is always considered being "a lot" while "Menge" itself actually translates to "quantity", so the word has no value but if you put the undefined article before it actually gives the quantity a value, "a lot" of value. If you add a definitive article however "die Menge" then it's used exactly the same way as "the quantity" in English -Other than that, well done. The first 10 minutes sounded natural to me, except for these two sentences.
I just started watching and learning. My dad was in the Army and I was born in Germany. We moved back to the States when I was 18 months and then moved back to Germany when I was about 4. I went to kindergarten and first grade in Germany. I loved it there and have many fond memories.

I am old. When I was young and fearless and a American soldier in Germany, I went about chattering in "G.I. German" without a hint of embarrassment. I could collect my laundry, deal with waiters, etc., with no problems. (Maybe the Germans had picked up a little "G.I. German," and, unlike the French, they didn't seem to be fussy about it.). Now, I am interested in picking up some languages concentrating mostly on French. After this lesson in quick and "easy" German, I officially abandon it. I will confine myself to a few German words like "Weltanschauung," (worldview) and a few politeness words, which I find useful. Anyway, if traveling, I will rely on English, which is widely understood in Germany and not resented, as far as I ever detected. (With my G.I. German, I didn't even know the various "you's." But I did know fragments like "haben sie" and "sprechen sie," which combined nicely with a few common nouns. I couldn't conjugate the verb "to be" but it just came out as needed, crudely but almost fluently. The articles just seemed to fall into place. One complete sentence that was popular with us although I am extremely skeptical of anyone ever actually trying it out was: Kommen sie hier, bitte Fräulein, mit der Hosen in der hand. One that ~was~always serviceable was: Noch ein Bier bitte.)
What dialectic/accent would you consider this? The "Er" rhymes with "Ir" & "Der" Rhymes with "Dir"? I have been learning a short "E" that Rhymes with "Hair".....?
I think you should probably state that Sie (as a formal you) is used to express both meanings of English you: singular as well as plural. Hence ihr is used only for informal plural.
I wasn't aware of German accents before today...but the man definitely has an unfamiliar accent. My family came from Bavaria in 1740 to the States...and we lived in Mannheim when I was in elementary school. His accent is different than my ear is used to hearing.
@@edcottingham1 I can't vouch for that...but that's when we were in Mannheim...in the mid-1960's. My dad chose to retire in Killeen/Ft Hood (now Ft Cavazos) so we would be equidistant from my mom's family and his, and so that he could take advantage of his GI benefits...and there are plenty of people in that area who speak German...plus my cousin's wife is German, so we get regular practice.
@@joannathesinger770 So we were there at about same time, me 67 & 68. I was being a little facetious in my claim about the Mannheim folk, certainly they did not ~speak~ GI German. I really only meant that they never seemed to have trouble understanding us whether or not we threw in a few badly pronounced German words (with zero knowledge of grammar). This is so different from French where you can have a couple hundred hours of diligent study under your belt and barely be able to recognize a word when you get there. And never be understood. BTW, I have diligently and repeatedly searched the internet for pictures of anything military and, mostly, Benjamin Franklin Village, and it is almost like none of it ever existed, I found one picture that slightly showed the area where the library and PX in the background. I think I did once find quite a bit about the high school, but that didn't relate to me. I think it was a migrant shelter at one time but it seems like I saw that it has now been demolished. Now that I think about how much German I picked up and how easily it came, I might try to actually learn some. It is so intimidating if you are the conscientious type, but some of it came to me effortlessly. I might just try to learn some short sentences and skip the drill and study. Maybe it would take off.
@@edcottingham1 Oh my gosh! We lived in Benjamin Franklin Village, too! We left in the fall of 1967, and we went to church on the economy, so we either drove or took the OEG downtown. It was so beautiful in the spring!!! I took my daughter back in 2004 but only got as far as Heidelberg. I took German again in high school...and got in way over my head when I tried to take a German literature class in college, so I dropped that! Oddly, before Germany, my dad taught ROTC at Northwestern State (College then, University now) in Natchitoches, Louisiana...the oldest settlement in the Louisiana Purchase. ALL government buildings are labeled in French...with tiny signs that say what they are in English...courthouse, post office, etc. I taught myself to read at 4.5 while we were there, so I attempted to read French so I could read the signs. My German is better...but my French isn't far behind. The German I learned in elementary school (in Benjamin Franklin Village) is still with me...and I still sing the German songs we learned pretty flawlessly. I'm trying to maintain what I know in both languages...and improve/build vocabulary when possible.
@@joannathesinger770 Nice detail, thanks! I never lived in BFV but ate, drank, and shopped there. We were like college kids constantly swapping apartments and roommates. I was mentioning Heidelberg to someone just the other day, because it comes up a lot in my reading. And I thought how lucky we were; most of the places where I lived were within fifteen minutes of the main street in Heidelberg. I ate many pizzas there in a joint that had junky odd bits of automobile decorations on the wall and played great jazz music. Most importantly, I learned an important life lesson there: Whatever else you have on your pizza, never leave off the artichoke! Place may have been one block behind the main street (toward the river). We should start a Mannheim chat room! Fun chatting with you.
Happy Teachers’s Day to all UA-cam teachers who works hard to just enlightened our path and help us to clear doubts also thanks to UA-cam to provide such a beautiful platform where we can learn, earn, and entertain ourselves 🥰
I learned German for 4 years at the Goethe Institude in Saigon when I was in high school in the 60's. At 70 y/o I still remember a few words and more importantly my pronounciation is not too bad considering 60 years of non practice. German grammar is very hard but vocabulary is easier than English IMHO.
You are right, by saying that "Ihr" is the plural. What you forgot to mention, is that "Ihr" is the informal plural. If you are in a meeting you should not use "ihr" when refering to the crowd, but instead use "Sie". "Sie" is the plural of the formal "sie" and "Ihr" is the plural of the formal "du".
This really highlights how similar the core vocabulary is between English and German -- it's easy to overlook due to the massive French influence in English.
I am a new premium user. I am fully satisfied with your German course: I find it more useful than most of the courses available on the Internet. Are you planning to expand your language offerings? I am sure that many people would be interested in learning other European or Asian languages (such as Japanese, Korean and Chinese) through your software.
Glad to hear that you are enjoying our German course. We would love to have a lot more languages, however, due to the comprehensive nature of our course, it takes multiple years to develop one language. We are in early stages of a new language, I can't reveal any information about it right now. Thanks for choosing our German course :).
3:36 the correct translation (if you take the english sentence as lead) would be "Ihr lernt Deutsch mit euren Computern" or the other way around "you are learning German with the help of you computers."

Easy to understand, even for a very rusty veteran. The slow pace repetition is interesting and helpful. The pictures give useful mnemonic aid. As a bonus, the scenic pictures are nice too, even been to a few of the places shown. Well done. You got a thumbs up, and a new subscriber. Definitely coming back to your videos.
I am german and im excited about everyone who tries to learn our kinda difficult language ! I wish everyone of you the best and if you have some questions feel free to ask !
Danke, sehr gut. Ja ich bin lerner Deutsch auf Uni und ich bin zweiundsechzig. Es ist hart aber ich leben Deutsch. I'm taking a pause at the moment due to the c-virus and I've looked at many programs on here and really like this one. I'll be sure to spend more time here, Bis später, Tschüs.
The format makes it very easy to understand. My only suggestion is to get a better mic. The delay often wipes out a syllable or an entire word at the beginning of each sentence.
In English, the old informal "thou" (German "du") has been replaced by the formally "you". In German, "du" is used informally and "Sie" formally (always big letter at the start). Then there's the feminine "sie" "she" and "sie" for a group = "they" "you" (2. person, plural) is equivalent to "ihr" Hund like grayhound, Fledermaus like Flittermouse, Haus like house, Schuhe like shoes, Mutter like mother, Arm like arm, Finger like finger
This is exactly what I have been looking for. This video is the best l have watched so far since I started learning German online. I feel my learning journey has just started now. Everything so clear and easy to understand. I will keep playing this till l master it all. Thank you
I recommend those who struggle more as me, to play the video in a slower speed (i am using 0,75). It helps. Portuguese here, that goes often to Germany.
This 72 year old retired modern language teacher is compelled to share a few thoughts with you ( if you would permit to consider them.... this Advent Season 2023) First: Bravo!! for your interest and ongoing efforts to learn German❤ Too many have been frightened away from the language and culture by deliberately unjust anti-German propaganda.😢 Second: Basics are VERY VERY important!🏆 Only a solid foundation can be slowly, but surely, built upon❤ For example: when I first learned French, I did NOT get the basics - and therefore even today, though I SOUND fluent in French...I cannot write a simple letter in French without many of errors😢. (One future day I will start from scratch !!!! - and invest several years in the new studies!) Third, Yes, it takes longer to become comfortable in ANY language when not in an immersive spoken language environment. In past generations, when the USA population was still Germanic dominant, there were radio stations daily broadcasting in German, and even daily church services in German!! Today, because of more recent (1960s) new immigration laws, the rising culture is Spanish dominant. And, there are fewer German clubs and social groups for friendly gatherings. However, today, we ALSO have outstanding Internet provisions of language videos, international musical offerings - and movies with subtitles... Thankfully, also, many younger people today are rediscovering the importance of German literature and the historical contributions to our Western civilization of Christians like Charlemagne (who was Germanic, not a Latin) and his heroic soldier, Roland. Here's to encouraging you to consider meeting and establishing networking with a good person or two or three of Germanic families -- perhaps through Linked In, or a local language school like the Goethe Institute. Perhaps you could offer to volunteer a couple of hours a week at the latter - just to be in the environment? Remember: we really do have ALL of eternity to learn and to discover....opportunities do not end, if we love and trust in Christ Jesus.+❤ Frohe Weihnachten🎄
I will see the goodness of the lord in the land of the living. Psalm 27÷13. (Don't give up keep going) Jesus said John 14:6, Jesus proclaimed, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” In other words, there are no options on the route to eternal life-there is only one way, and Jesus is that way. Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.(Revelation 1÷17-18)
I loved german language As indonesian the language sound‘s so elegant for me But that was so hard, i still learn how to pronounce this word ( ü ) omg 😱

I don't really understand why a lot of people gets scared when they heard "German". They thinks it's one of the hardest languages to learn. For me, German is as easy as French. German words can be longer than French but German has little/no silent sounds in their words while only about half of the letters are pronounced in French. German grammar can also be more complex than French, but the grammar really makes sense and fun to use once you've learned them! This language (in my opinion) is underrated! And German deserves more learners
This has a great video, it has all what I needed for day to day use and to start speaking quickly. This video is making me buy the paid subscription however I wanna try it first. Hopefully very soon I'll start. Danke !
I am fluent in four languages: - German - English - Spanish and - Portuguese Knowing a hundred words in any language ain't worth much. If you don't know where those words fit in a sentence and how they relate to other words, you've got yourself nothing more than a bunch of words that don't make any sense. Just because you have the 100 most important components in front of you, it doesn't mean you have a motorcycle.

The German I learned in elementary school (in Benjamin Franklin Village) is still with me...and I still sing the German songs we learned pretty flawlessly.
I'm trying to maintain what I know in both languages...and improve/build vocabulary when possible.
@@joannathesinger770 Nice detail, thanks! I never lived in BFV but ate, drank, and shopped there. We were like college kids constantly swapping apartments and roommates. I was mentioning Heidelberg to someone just the other day, because it comes up a lot in my reading. And I thought how lucky we were; most of the places where I lived were within fifteen minutes of the main street in Heidelberg. I ate many pizzas there in a joint that had junky odd bits of automobile decorations on the wall and played great jazz music. Most importantly, I learned an important life lesson there: Whatever else you have on your pizza, never leave off the artichoke! Place may have been one block behind the main street (toward the river). We should start a Mannheim chat room! Fun chatting with you.
What a gem I've just watched. It covered a broader concepts which I'm learning right now. And has boosted my confidence!
im German and this was spot on!
this is waaaaaay better than those "almost useless" 20 min videos teaching greetings.
I'm a native Spanish speaker learning German in English !

I learned German for 4 years at the Goethe Institude in Saigon when I was in high school in the 60's. At 70 y/o I still remember a few words and more importantly my pronounciation is not too bad considering 60 years of non practice. German grammar is very hard but vocabulary is easier than English IMHO.
Very helpful to learn German pronunciation and useful vocabulary.
Thanks a lot from India!
Hi from Germany!
Ich bin du
I came from dark Netflix 🤣

You are right, by saying that "Ihr" is the plural. What you forgot to mention, is that "Ihr" is the informal plural. If you are in a meeting you should not use "ihr" when refering to the crowd, but instead use "Sie". "Sie" is the plural of the formal "sie" and "Ihr" is the plural of the formal "du".
Danke für den Hinweis
This really highlights how similar the core vocabulary is between English and German -- it's easy to overlook due to the massive French influence in English.
I speak fluent Dutch, the amount of similarities with German makes it so much easier.
hoe heb je nederlands geleerd? Ik probeer nu te leren
Thank, Gracias por todos estos videos son muy educativos se aprende rapido su explicacion es clara y precisa,, mas videos please.Danke.

The best Germen tutorial i ever seen
After watching this video I started dreaming in German! Vielen Dank!!
Best UA-cam channel for German Language. Who agrees?
Finally after hopping on numerous channels I found something truly worth. Thankeww for providing basic content so flawlessly. Keep up. 👍
True ❤❤
Im glad already speaking german, looks very hard if learning from scratch. Good luck guys!😉
I am a new premium user. I am fully satisfied with your German course: I find it more useful than most of the courses available on the Internet. Are you planning to expand your language offerings? I am sure that many people would be interested in learning other European or Asian languages (such as Japanese, Korean and Chinese) through your software.
Glad to hear that you are enjoying our German course. We would love to have a lot more languages, however, due to the comprehensive nature of our course, it takes multiple years to develop one language. We are in early stages of a new language, I can't reveal any information about it right now. Thanks for choosing our German course :).
@@ouino :)
3:36 the correct translation (if you take the english sentence as lead) would be "Ihr lernt Deutsch mit euren Computern" or the other way around "you are learning German with the help of you computers."
i'm learning spanish but german sounds so rich ! love it !
Sehr gut herr Doctor
Zehr gut
Don't waste time by thought 2
Reverse.We need to fix all of it.
Danke! Ich habe dieses Video 5 Minuten angeschaut und bin sofort nach Deutschland ausgewandert. Ich kann jetzt fließend Deutsch sprechen.
I love learning German language. And, this video helps me a lot.
If you want I can teach you german :) Insta: xjerome128
Warum?
I prefer learning by understanding - and here I miss the role of a teacher explaining everything ... Like this guy.

Die Aussprachebeispiele haben etwas sehr hypnotisches :)
Easy to understand, even for a very rusty veteran. The slow pace repetition is interesting and helpful. The pictures give useful mnemonic aid. As a bonus, the scenic pictures are nice too, even been to a few of the places shown. Well done. You got a thumbs up, and a new subscriber. Definitely coming back to your videos.
I am german and im excited about everyone who tries to learn our kinda difficult language ! I wish everyone of you the best and if you have some questions feel free to ask !
I will watch it again. Thanks. Excellent
Danke, sehr gut. Ja ich bin lerner Deutsch auf Uni und ich bin zweiundsechzig. Es ist hart aber ich leben Deutsch. I'm taking a pause at the moment due to the c-virus and I've looked at many programs on here and really like this one. I'll be sure to spend more time here, Bis später, Tschüs.
The format makes it very easy to understand. My only suggestion is to get a better mic. The delay often wipes out a syllable or an entire word at the beginning of each sentence.
In English, the old informal "thou" (German "du") has been replaced by the formally "you".
In German, "du" is used informally and "Sie" formally (always big letter at the start).
Then there's the feminine "sie" "she" and "sie" for a group = "they"
"you" (2. person, plural) is equivalent to "ihr"
Hund like grayhound, Fledermaus like Flittermouse, Haus like house, Schuhe like shoes, Mutter like mother, Arm like arm, Finger like finger
Ich glaube das Video war sehr gut den ich kann schon eine Menge sprechen Dankeschön
Best German lessons I ever found !!!!
Wow! Thank you so much! Glad it helped you! :)
I love that zebra stripped couch that the young lad is playing his guitar on. What class.
wow! vor dem Video konnte ich kein Wort Deutsch, jetzt kann ich mich wenigstens verständlich ausdrücken! Daumen hoch!
Really impressed. keep it up like this because am the beginner and learning more.
This is exactly what I have been looking for. This video is the best l have watched so far since I started learning German online. I feel my learning journey has just started now. Everything so clear and easy to understand. I will keep playing this till l master it all. Thank you
Thanks for lesson I learn German through video😊
this is what the doctor ordered, very comprehensive for a very beginner like me, kudos
I recommend those who struggle more as me, to play the video in a slower speed (i am using 0,75). It helps. Portuguese here, that goes often to Germany.
It's really a good job! Thanks a lot!
Very good and helpful ❤
Excellent👊
I'm done with Duolingo since I found your channel....
Me too
Sehr nützlich, danke!
Danke schön.... It helps alot
I learned German in high school for 4 years and this is just basics. I struggle the most in speaking in person.
This 72 year old retired modern language teacher is compelled to share a few thoughts with you ( if you would permit to consider them.... this Advent Season 2023)
First: Bravo!! for your interest and ongoing efforts to learn German❤ Too many have been frightened away from the language and culture by deliberately unjust anti-German propaganda.😢
Second:
Basics are VERY VERY important!🏆
Only a solid foundation can be slowly, but surely, built upon❤
For example: when I first learned French, I did NOT get the basics - and therefore even today, though I SOUND fluent in French...I cannot write a simple letter in French without many of errors😢. (One future day I will start from scratch !!!! - and invest several years in the new studies!)
Third,
Yes, it takes longer to become comfortable in ANY language when not in an immersive spoken language environment.
In past generations, when the USA population was still Germanic dominant, there were radio stations daily broadcasting in German, and even daily church services in German!!
Today, because of more recent (1960s) new immigration laws, the rising culture is Spanish dominant.
And, there are fewer German clubs and social groups for friendly gatherings.
However, today, we ALSO have outstanding Internet provisions of language videos, international musical offerings - and movies with subtitles...
Thankfully, also, many younger people today are rediscovering the importance of German literature and the historical contributions to our Western civilization of Christians like Charlemagne (who was Germanic, not a Latin) and his heroic soldier, Roland.
Here's to encouraging you to consider meeting and establishing networking with a good person or two or three of Germanic families -- perhaps through Linked In, or
a local language school like the Goethe Institute. Perhaps you could offer to volunteer a couple of hours a week at the latter - just to be in the environment?
Remember:
we really do have ALL of eternity to learn and to discover....opportunities do not end, if we love and trust in Christ Jesus.+❤
Frohe Weihnachten🎄
Life is too short to learn German
Lol
Ok....
so you evidently have no beloved German friends, or German family...and you love no German songs or poetry... Schade! 🌹
Es tut mir leid😢
@@rmp7400 dont be sorry I like Lili Marleen if that counts ...and I enjoyed Faust but translated of course
I will see the goodness of the lord in the land of the living.
Psalm 27÷13. (Don't give up keep going)
Jesus said
John 14:6, Jesus proclaimed, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” In other words, there are no options on the route to eternal life-there is only one way, and Jesus is that way.
Do not be afraid. I am the First and the Last.I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.(Revelation 1÷17-18)
Sehr vielen Dank fur dieses wunderbar erklar
I loved german language

I am new to Germany and I am struggling with the language hope this video will help me
I don't really understand why a lot of people gets scared when they heard "German". They thinks it's one of the hardest languages to learn.
For me, German is as easy as French. German words can be longer than French but German has little/no silent sounds in their words while only about half of the letters are pronounced in French. German grammar can also be more complex than French, but the grammar really makes sense and fun to use once you've learned them!
This language (in my opinion) is underrated! And German deserves more learners
Yes. I think you pronounce every single letter in a German word. There may be exceptions, but very few if any.
Sehr gut, danke schön ❤
Very interesting as a native German Speaker
Danke schooooonnnnnn OuinoLanguages :*
Wonderful teacher
Best German lesson online... Ich heiße Ishwari aus India. Danke

Thank you for this helpful video.
Awesome course, I think I will be able to fly to Germany and feel more confident in a few months.thanks a lot
💕💕😊😊
This has a great video, it has all what I needed for day to day use and to start speaking quickly. This video is making me buy the paid subscription however I wanna try it first. Hopefully very soon I'll start. Danke !
I am fluent in four languages:
- German
- English
- Spanish and
- Portuguese
Knowing a hundred words in any language ain't worth much. If you don't know where those words fit in a sentence and how they relate to other words, you've got yourself nothing more than a bunch of words that don't make any sense.
Just because you have the 100 most important components in front of you, it doesn't mean you have a motorcycle.
Motorcycles do not go, but people can communicate.
.
duh🙄
Thanks for this video :) I learned nothing new but I'm happy I already know 100 words at least
Great job, it help me to develop my own skill in German laguage..Machen Sie weiter so bitte.
Do you have the 100 words list written done somewhere? It saves times of taking notes.
This is the best german tutorial.
It’s helping for sure.
