Um... So, Herr RadLiv, I just tried to say something in German, and now my furniture is floating, and my walls are bleeding. Is this possibly because I used the wrong "the"? 🤔
@hexepick8328 🥹 I love that! I wonder if it would work on guests who stay too long... probably only if they spoke German, but to be fair, if I started speaking German in front of my English speaking friends, they might call a priest on _me!_
@d.l.3530 it's OK. I went to school in Germany and spoke fluent German. For a while. I unlearnt it to avoid the scathing attitudes. Then I remembered I was English and was precisely the same, but with more vocabulary at my disposal. Life just gets weirder. He didn't mention the two levels of English either. You have English. And then you have American. Which everyone born in Europe after 1985 speaks, but fiercely denies. Especially the English. To balance that out, Germans believe their culture is German.
Born and raised in a tiny village in northern Bavaria. The place has a dialect even people from neighboring villages don‘t understand. „Bu wellstn du dei Hö hi ho?“ Wo willst du denn dein Heu hin haben? „Em Wender länn die Hörner koe Orcher“. Im Winter legen die Hühner keine Eier“ 😂
@@Spam_Unlikely The villages in Rheinland Pfalz which I lived in were the same. It's not just geography and distance either. Time plays it's part. Learning German gave me an abiding respect for the quality of both the written and spoken word. I brought that back with me to England and applied it to my study of English. Unfortunately, not many people born after 1985 in Europe share this and typically speak with American syntax. The English, Irish and Germans always throw their toys out of the pram on this topic. Probably because it's true. Who can blame them? I'd balk at being called an American.
The funniest thing about the dialect map is that number 41, Thuringian, is correct, but there are so many sub-dialects in Thuringia that the Thuringians themselves don't always understand each other. I'm from Thuringia and only have to drive 30 km to not understand a word when the person I'm talking to speaks in dialect. So, have fun learning German (LOL).
And now have someone from Bavaria visit the Ruhrpott. Or vice-versa. One of my aunts had a boyfriend from Bavaria and when Schorsch went into full Bavarian mode we where all "Wat hasse gesacht?!?". 😅
I'm originally from a town near Lepzig, just on the other side of the border with Saxony. I think you could study German for years, and if you came there, you wouldn't understand a word.
As an American it is kinda baffling that just a short bike ride away has the same language... but not. Sure, Boston is different than the Bronx, which is different than The South, and the Rocky Mountain folk mess with N and T pronunciation a bit, but we all understand each other. We'll just think the others sound funny instead of being confused. Across the Atlantic and your dialect bubbles are both smaller and stronger!
Can 100 percent vouch for the course. Did the entire A2 and B1 levels and it helped immensely improve my German to hold a conversation in most day to day situations. Currently doing the B2 course and hope by this time next year i can call myself somewhat fluent 😅
Not only do I speak/understand German better when I'm drunk, but also when I'm hungover. My German Grandfather would call me on Sunday mornings after I was out drinking the night before and I would have a whole conversation with him, then hang up and go back to sleep. Then when I'd talk to my mom on the phone days later, she would mention that my Grandfather was surprised at how good my German was when we talked. The this is, I wouldn't even remember anything about the conversation.
Can confirm this. I spoke fluent German 40 years ago. Can barely speak a word of it now sober. But when I'm drunk I can even speak to Swiss and Bavarians. I can even pronounce squirrel tail properly in Bavarian! I've often been told how good my German is the next day, but I can't understand them. English humour on the other hand never translates into German, doesn't matter how much you drink.
Bavarian is a whole different language. Including own grammar. I am a swabian german native and I don't always understand those guys. Unless I consume the level up potion. 😁😉
Once I saw the movie "Wer früher stirbt, ist länger tot", which is in Bavarian language. Although I am a native German, I had to switch on subtitels 😂😂😂
I heard about some girls who were hitchhiking in Germany and held up a sign saying Wien (Vienna). All the drivers who passed them were laughing, and they finally figured out it was because they'd spelled it "Wein" (wine)! Guess which level they were at?
Problem with "philosopher's german" is that you take a very literal language known for its descriptive accuracy and try to force it into an abstract narrative.

sounds like a nightmare to learn the language. No wonder the Germans just decided to invade the whole country. Diplomacy is NEVER going to work with the Polish.😂
Ummmmm..... Have you actually studied German? Have you noticed that except except for second peson singular verbs literally everything else in the ENTIRE LANGUAGE is covered by just SIX endings?! Articles, adjectives, nouns, verbs, and lord knows what else uses Null, -e, -r, -s, -n, -m. And that's it! I'm a native English speaker who grew up with Polish on the side. Polish endings tell you things. You look at a Polish word and the ending tells you everything you want to know. That's why German is so frustrating for me. It's so close to English except for those stupid endings. I don't know whether to laugh or cry....
@@ak5659 i actually speak fluent German. Never studied it because i just learned it from the TV as a kid (we had German cable in the 90s which was pretty much the only source of cartoons back then). Btw since Polish is my first language - yes, the endings will tell you everything but another thing is knowing what they tell you. To give you one example - in 2005 i was registering at the immigration office in Bremerhaven. They had a form with a Polish translation that asked for my marital status. It asked if I'm "zamężny" (for the non Polish speakers: this is a word describing a male person with a husband ") so there's that 🤣 But yeah, since German is not similar to my default language, it was way easier to learn it. Add some time i lived in Berlin where i learned Berlinerisch and you get the perfect German to annoy the hell out of the Swiss since it hurts their ears.
So I spent 7 years in Germany while in the US Army over 2 tours. I was initially stationed in Berlin in 1993. When it closed, I had extended my tour in Germany, and was sent to Landstuhl. I returned to the US then was stationed in Schweinfurt. I went from being a level 0 to maybe a 3, but I can say with a great degree of confidence and experience that the beer level up is COMPLETELY real!!!
Ooooh drunk German. Yeah that's a new level. It's crazy how dialects are. My Aunt speaks fluent Italian and she's from Tuscany. Going to Naples she told my dad (who also speaks) she had NO IDEA what they were saying.
It's useless for me to worry about different German versions when I haven't even mastered the standard one😊 step by step it's all a matter of keep learning as much as I can everyday
Point 5 the drunk one is so true, I once brought my Norwegian friends to visit my cousin in Denmark. We went to a party and the Norwegians could not understand the Danish while sober, but once they were all 5 beers down they were chatting in their native languages and understanding each other perfectly.
I will say that being angry or pissed off will get anyone on level 1 or 2 to level 5 instantly. I was in Turkey some years ago and my girlfriend wanted to ride a camel. I negotiated a price of 50 Turkish Lira in perfect English, but when we were finished and I was going to pay him he suddenly wanted euro instead of Lira. And the English he spoke 15 minutes ago he no longer could speak… I knew he spoke German since he was speaking to a German couple when we walked up to him, but something must have snapped inn me since I was so angry that I started to yell at him in level 5 German and I am at a very good day max level 2. I guess all the German I have heard from watching speeches from Adolf, German porn, listening to Rammstein, growing up with a mother that listened to German music and having seen Das Boot 100 times must have been stored subconsciously and the anger brought it all out. I guess the camel owner didn’t expect that from a Norwegian..
You forgot Level 10: Beamtendeutsch. This is the reason Gesetzliche Betreuer and Steuerberater exist. We need to train people on filling those government forms, because nobody understands them. I swear, the only thing even half as bad is Medizin Deutsch. But medicine talk is mostly in latin though. And Goethe. I am fully convinced that Gothe was on drugs when he wrote Faust. Especially that second part.
Hi : ) mate! This is always interesting. Even if you're not studying German at all, anyway, from my andean spanish speaking point of view, I really enjoy your videos.
I find these videos very funny and entertaining and thank you for this :-) I am Greek and I have spent almost five years living and working in Germany. I also had the advance of having studied a little bit of german when I was a kid at school, so I didn't find it completely terrifying to understand what the natives were talking about, although I must admit that, whatever level you think you are at school , when you first encounter REAL Germans,all hell breaks loose,lol. But,as a Greek, I can relate to this language easier than the English or other people from countries can. Because,if you don't know it already,german language is based on the ancient greek language,its structure follows the grammar rules of ancient greek. Mind you,we (the stupid neo-Greeks) have rejected the Dativ from our vocabulary, while you still use it in your daily life ! I love Germany and I love the culture and the knowledge the Germans have given to the modern world. Because, the modern way of western world life is NOT american, it's,ganz einfach,Deutsch !
I remember having a Professor who was a native German Speaker tell us he had to call a professor in Germany to find out exactly what he meant by a term he used in a paper🙃
I used to be level 7 when i was 4 because i spoke mainly Thüringisch. After moving to Asia, i dropped down to level 1, but i managed to get to around level 3 a few years ago.
ha dees isch do ganz guad gworde! ibrigens, bei mi hätz no ni it koi räge ghabt! übersetzung von schwäbisch auf hochdeutsch: ja das ist doch ganz gut gesorden! übrigens, bei uns hat es noch nie nicht keine Regen gehabt. (schwaben haben dreifache verneinung)
Yeah sounds fun. Whatever you need it for! And agreed, levels 1 to 4 are useful no matter what in every day life. I still want to read Thomas Mann for a taste of his perspective on life. ❤ Thanks
This is so funny and true. Especially about the dialects. I met my wife in Switzerland, and when I met her dad, I couldn't understand a word he was saying. He has a real Berner Oberland accent from the mountains, not that city stuff they speak in Zürich 😂.
my way to go is to go from level 4 to 7. So knowing basic german and being surrounded by people speaking local dialect, I'm just trying as hard as possible to add the dialect to my basic german :). Works pretty well
I spent a couple years learning German in high school, only for family to come visit and I could not understand them. And that is when I found out about Bavarians.
@3:17 , bro, brilliant lmao. As a level 1/2 noob beginner who just spent time in Berlin then Bavaria, that made me laugh. Mainly the map, the outfits, didn't catch all the dialog.
My friend grew up in rural southern Germany and in High School went to Hannover on holiday. She thought everyone working in gas stations, grocery stores, bakeries was a college professor! 😳
my favorite word at the time is "eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher" XD not only because of the word itself but because of the "thing" that has that name and what it is used for :P, i really like learn german because of the challenge it is and words like that XD!!!!!!

There must be 9 levels to Japanese. 8. The non-verbalised grunts and sounds of bearing down on a stinker. 9. The one word sentence where a noun becomes a causative verb without changing into the causative verb form. Like greeting a rice farmer with a normal salutation like hello and he responds with the word ‘rice.’
The Dutch do say in their national anthem that they’re of German blood so having their language be considered a German dialect makes all the more sense now
I took two years of German, when I was in high school. I remember this old video called, Guten Tag… We had these drills, “ lernst du Deutsch?” “ja, Ich lerne Deutsch” 🤷🏻♀️😆
Purtuguese also has 7 levels. The first 5 are the same as german, than there's old man (level 6) and the fearsome MINAS GERAIS ABBREVIATIONS at level 7 Example: tomato sauce/molho de tomate becomes masstumati. Corn/milho becomes mii. Oncotô, proncovô, doncosô (where am I, where am I going, where am I from)
im now learning all the prepositions in german and which case they go to and soon will be the verbs i can only uses in certain cases. learning german has also made me want to curl in the bathroom a couple times and cry lol. this grammar is beyond brutal sometimes haha. but it must be done and am fully commited to being at least b1
I was on a language program with my university in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. My host family was from Hannover in the north. A little into the program, I could understand them pretty well but local Bavarians forged if. Also, I would travel to Rheinland Pfalz to see my girlfriend. Then I was surrounded by my Pfälzisch. I couldn't understand shit. Now, I life in RLP and can understand most things local. Many of the words have gotten into my own German. Kommo her! Isch wess net!
I was born in Germany, then we immigrated to Australia when I was twelve. I'm 55 now and find myself always at level three whenever I talk to another German. Heh (Case in point: No way could I have written the above two sentences in German without taking half a day off work and googling a lot.)
I studied German at university so I could finally speak to my German family but I didn’t realize they spoke an entirely different language (they’re from the Eifel/Mosel region). They would speak to me in High German but to each other in dialect. I was just as lost as usual 😂
Im either at the noob level or a bit less than that but I am a Minnesotan (an American state) so some of our pronunciations are similar to that of generically Northern European words like yes which we say ya which would be pronounced ja.
I was born in Minnesota, and have retained my Minnesota accent, despite having lived in California since I was three ( a lot of people here think I'm Canadian.) I never say "ja", (except when speaking German, which I rarely do, except to myself.) I do say "yeah" occasionally, which, of course, is derived from German "ja. A lot of American slang is derived from German - kids, from "Kinder", dumb (meaning stupid), is derived from "Dumm", etc., etc.
Und Level 8 ist dann Blattdeutsch. Der Extremste Fall des Dialekts. Vor ein paar Jahren war ich mal in ner Bar mit einen älteren Herrn. Naja trotz der Muttersprache und des Levelboosts hab ich kein Wort verstanden. Ich hab dann den Barkeeper gefragt ob er ihn verstanden hat und naja er meinte kein Wort :D

But,as a Greek, I can relate to this language easier than the English or other people from countries can. Because,if you don't know it already,german language is based on the ancient greek language,its structure follows the grammar rules of ancient greek. Mind you,we (the stupid neo-Greeks) have rejected the Dativ from our vocabulary, while you still use it in your daily life ! I love Germany and I love the culture and the knowledge the Germans have given to the modern world. Because, the modern way of western world life is NOT american, it's,ganz einfach,Deutsch !
I remember having a Professor who was a native German Speaker tell us he had to call a professor in Germany to find out exactly what he meant by a term he used in a paper🙃
I used to be level 7 when i was 4 because i spoke mainly Thüringisch. After moving to Asia, i dropped down to level 1, but i managed to get to around level 3 a few years ago.
Tolles Video.
Musch aber zu öis id Schwyz choo. Da wirscht sicher nöt viel verschtaa.
Da giit's 10 Levels! 😂

ha dees isch do ganz guad gworde! ibrigens, bei mi hätz no ni it koi räge ghabt!
übersetzung von schwäbisch auf hochdeutsch: ja das ist doch ganz gut gesorden! übrigens, bei uns hat es noch nie nicht keine Regen gehabt.
(schwaben haben dreifache verneinung)
Yeah sounds fun. Whatever you need it for! And agreed, levels 1 to 4 are useful no matter what in every day life.
I still want to read Thomas Mann for a taste of his perspective on life. ❤
Thanks
excellent!
This is so funny and true. Especially about the dialects. I met my wife in Switzerland, and when I met her dad, I couldn't understand a word he was saying. He has a real Berner Oberland accent from the mountains, not that city stuff they speak in Zürich 😂.
i just started the A1 course. u r terrifying me 😭💀💀
my way to go is to go from level 4 to 7. So knowing basic german and being surrounded by people speaking local dialect, I'm just trying as hard as possible to add the dialect to my basic german :). Works pretty well
I spent a couple years learning German in high school, only for family to come visit and I could not understand them. And that is when I found out about Bavarians.
My lánguage IS Arábic , the Beauty of Arábic IS more than Magic
I like the "level boost" idea. :)
@3:17 , bro, brilliant lmao. As a level 1/2 noob beginner who just spent time in Berlin then Bavaria, that made me laugh. Mainly the map, the outfits, didn't catch all the dialog.
My friend grew up in rural southern Germany and in High School went to Hannover on holiday. She thought everyone working in gas stations, grocery stores, bakeries was a college professor! 😳
Lol the Berlin wig😂
The level boost, every time!
Best commercial ever 🎉
Отличное видео, спасибо 😊
Dude I love your hair how did you keep that luxious?
Level 8: Swiss-German
Level 9: Grischun- and Valais-style Swiss German
😂 Danke❤ Made my Day's munch funnier 😂 Grüße aus Allemange
my favorite word at the time is "eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher" XD not only because of the word itself but because of the "thing" that has that name and what it is used for :P, i really like learn german because of the challenge it is and words like that XD!!!!!!
I experienced the same with english... have a drink or two... easy peasy
Thanks for the reality check.
I have finally come to the conclusion that I only speak or understand level 3 German at the most..
Alter, ich hab deine Videos schon Freunden auf der ganzen Welt von Amerika bis zu den Philippinen gezeigt
und alle finden dich zum todlachen ich danke dir dafür das du für uns deutsche die Lanze brichst und uns wieder etwas cooler aussehen lässt ... mach weiter so geiler SCHEIß !!!! p.s. ich dachte, ich schreibe mal auf Deutsch zur Abwechslung Grüße außm Pott, woll !!! machet juut mein bestA !!!
There must be 9 levels to Japanese.
8. The non-verbalised grunts and sounds of bearing down on a stinker.
9. The one word sentence where a noun becomes a causative verb without changing into the causative verb form.
Like greeting a rice farmer with a normal salutation like hello and he responds with the word ‘rice.’
Das ist Peter ihm sein Auto.
Das ist das Auto wo dem Peter gehört.
If you can understand this, you're on a native level.
The Dutch do say in their national anthem that they’re of German blood so having their language be considered a German dialect makes all the more sense now
I took two years of German, when I was in high school. I remember this old video called, Guten Tag… We had these drills, “ lernst du Deutsch?” “ja, Ich lerne Deutsch” 🤷🏻♀️😆
Purtuguese also has 7 levels. The first 5 are the same as german, than there's old man (level 6) and the fearsome MINAS GERAIS ABBREVIATIONS at level 7
Example: tomato sauce/molho de tomate becomes masstumati. Corn/milho becomes mii. Oncotô, proncovô, doncosô (where am I, where am I going, where am I from)
"We can talk in English, that's quicker"---hahaha
My sister has been living in Germany for over 20 years, a German husband and 3 children and she still finds it difficult to write it 😢
Level 5 - so true 😅
Me as an Anhalter watching this:
interesting.
im now learning all the prepositions in german and which case they go to and soon will be the verbs i can only uses in certain cases. learning german has also made me want to curl in the bathroom a couple times and cry lol. this grammar is beyond brutal sometimes haha. but it must be done and am fully commited to being at least b1
1:40😂😂😂😂😂 and people say germans dont have Humor
The Third is the coolest.
I was on a language program with my university in Ingolstadt, Bavaria. My host family was from Hannover in the north. A little into the program, I could understand them pretty well but local Bavarians forged if. Also, I would travel to Rheinland Pfalz to see my girlfriend. Then I was surrounded by my Pfälzisch. I couldn't understand shit. Now, I life in RLP and can understand most things local. Many of the words have gotten into my own German. Kommo her! Isch wess net!
language booster!!! lol that was hillarious!
the shirt is ❤ bro😂
I was born in Germany, then we immigrated to Australia when I was twelve.
I'm 55 now and find myself always at level three whenever I talk to another German. Heh
(Case in point: No way could I have written the above two sentences in German without taking half a day off work and googling a lot.)
I'd like to sign up for the course... but only if I can drink!
This is crazy accurate as an American! 💯🤣
Immer wenn ich denke, ich könne Deutsch sprechen, falle ich mitten im Gespräch plötzlich zu Boden. Deutsch ist scherwig.
Please make a video about how to study free in Germany
I’m so glad German language is back on the rise
I studied German at university so I could finally speak to my German family but I didn’t realize they spoke an entirely different language (they’re from the Eifel/Mosel region). They would speak to me in High German but to each other in dialect. I was just as lost as usual 😂
I would like to be at level 5.. All the time!
Im either at the noob level or a bit less than that but I am a Minnesotan (an American state) so some of our pronunciations are similar to that of generically Northern European words like yes which we say ya which would be pronounced ja.
I was born in Minnesota, and have retained my Minnesota accent, despite having lived in California since I was three ( a lot of people here think I'm Canadian.) I never say "ja", (except when speaking German, which I rarely do, except to myself.) I do say "yeah" occasionally, which, of course, is derived from German "ja. A lot of American slang is derived from German - kids, from "Kinder", dumb (meaning stupid), is derived from "Dumm", etc., etc.
Back in my day (80 years ago) there was level 8 german. It's the forbidden level
Und Level 8 ist dann Blattdeutsch. Der Extremste Fall des Dialekts. Vor ein paar Jahren war ich mal in ner Bar mit einen älteren Herrn. Naja trotz der Muttersprache und des Levelboosts hab ich kein Wort verstanden. Ich hab dann den Barkeeper gefragt ob er ihn verstanden hat und naja er meinte kein Wort :D
Living in Germany for 45 years now. Still at level one.
At level 5 here. It is not too hard to improve your German if you are a native Spanish speaker (or really any European language).
RICHTIG GEILES VIDEO!! Glaramol a abbo doalassn
Dialects are things that every country has in the world
I’m still a noob on the telephone - if the person on the other end doesn’t stick to the script, I panic and hang up 🙈
ah schau mal dor an.. ee hab schon alles verstanden obwohl E war ja fast 30 Jahren ja gar nimmer ins D, ohne schmorn! ..das video hat ma ganz guet gefalln' ... ja's war echt hammermäßig!! ...
der Kanadier... Der möchte gern Bayer sein ;)
The final Boss is Beamtendeutsch. Undefeated as of today.
