@@hublooshi You are maybe familiar with package delivery service DHL. It's a bright misconception that the service is German,the d does not stand for deutsche or deutsch , or the name a short version of German words. It's actually the first letters of the founders of DHL (USA), that bought the German postal service "Die Post" and formed the new company "German post and DHL" in Germany

As a German person I have to say the same things I would say, without underlining that I say it as a German person.
I wish I could have learned german too

I have to say, your new voice is growing on me.

my native lenguage is Spanish and the only way I got to learn English is starting to consume english content, and now everytime I see a movie or play a game I put it in English just because I like it more (and it helps me learning more vocabulary and ways to speak)
Also, if I had some mistakes in my english that you can see, please tell me
As a native German speaker i have to say: Gut gemacht und Danke, dass du diese sprache gelernt hast.

In all fairness, learning the vulgar terms in other languages is pretty fun... I mean, cursing is like a language multi-tool and can be used in all kinds of scenarios :3
Yeah it's awesome to curse in like 6 languages, you can always tell someone to shove it no matter where you are
As someone learning Finnish learning the glorious ways you can swear in that language is a magical experience XD
And you can’t get in trouble if people don’t know you’re cursing
Especially in German traffic XD sometimes people just drive like proper lunatics here
Sale facho! Tell that to every frenchman you see , they'll like you
for me it's the same with english. i didn't learn english in school i learned it by reading fanfics and watch english youtubers like chip :)
I learned most of mine by playing ps2 games, they never had translations to Portuguese so I had to just figured out, kingdom hearts was so hard to beat ;-;

Same. Learned no english in school, then started playing online,watching UA-cam and reading.
What you did is called immersion.
maybe but i wouldn't have learnt it in school the way i did in private@@Acro_LangLearn

Those are some good advices. As a native German, I learned my English through video games and talks with online friends. later, I helped my sister learn English quicker, by making it a habit to only speak English around one another.
That habit now has broken us both, because we're so desperately trying not to talk English, when others are also around us xD
But, yeah. It helps a lot :3
UA-cam videos and videogames helped me more then the English lessons in school now that I think about it
SAME@@Fybinex
Something that I've been curious about is, why do some people comment in English if it isn't their native language? For example, wouldn't it be easier if you typed your comment in German? No hate, I just think that's a lot of effort just for a UA-cam comment, you get me?
same
@@MarvinTheOnlyKing
@@The_AuraMaster it's not as big of an effort as you'd think
I've been learning German for nearly a year. I can barely speak the language whatsoever, but I'm still trying. For those out there that are trying, I wish you my best. Let us learn together!
same here! been slowly learning german for about 2 years, i can read at about A2-B1 level but i struggle coming up with sentences myself. the grammar is slowly clicking but man i would love to be in an integration course so im forced to study every day haha

so im learning japanese rn and i will try this out cause thats a damn great idea :)
Vielen Dank Man :3
That's what I'm doing with Swedish actually!

i do that with english all the time lmao
when I know the word I speak very fractured german/english sentences, but you're right it's helpful
@@Perry0302Speaking to yourself at that early of a stage wouldn’t be too beneficial imo. Just watch some in Japanese and get tons of input. If you want to learn more look up Refold and TheMoeWay.

Thank you, this was a very enjoyable video. I'm sorta trying to get into practicing German again, but it's sooo haaard to keep at it

Witzig solche Videos anzuschauen :) NICE!
I'd LOVE more german related content! it can be literally whatever about. as a german, it's just super interesting to me to hear what foreigners think about this country or the language :)
I'm planning on visiting Germany sometime in the next few years, I've heard it's a wonderful place. Have a good day/night depending on when you see this!
Here’s some more tips for learning a language:
1. Watch content creators creating media in your target language! This is most useful when you’re at the stage that you understand quite a bit but still struggle with speaking.
2. Look into the phonology of your target language. Try to repeat the sounds. This can be done even with Wikipedia. And when a sound is too hard, search for tips on how to produce it. Also don’t be discouraged when your vocal production sounds horrendous, sometimes there are no other ways than to just brute force it.
thanks schody
i keep speaking german with a spanish accent
and also pronouncing the words wrong
I want to reinforce your points with my own experience from learning English: media in your target language is an incredible source of learning. I learnt most of my early English from watching star wars and the old 1980's Transformers cartoon, as well as playing video games that simply weren't localised for my home language.
Second point: pronunciation guides? Very useful. I've been speaking English with ever-increasing fluency for about fourteen years at this point, and for the first eleven thereof I couldn't pronounce the 'th' sounds, with me saying "free" instead of "three" or "vere" instead of "there".
It took exactly three videos on pronouncing them for me to semi-reliably replicate the sounds, and within three months I'd completely worked it into my muscle memory while speaking.
Omg i love your art style so much lol 😅
that ist wirklich crazy bro. gut work!
I feel the "just absorbing the language" part SO hard. I've been to Spain with my bf literally only four times but the amount of words and sentences my brain sucked up in these few weeks is insane to me. And it's the most fun way to learn too. Combine with professional classes + time and I believe I'll be fluent in a few years! Hopefully sooner! I wish you the best in learning more German and I'll definitely hop over to your german channel too :D
Fun fact but you don’t need to go to a country to “absorb the language”, you could create your immersion at home. I’m doing with Japanese and I got to mid intermediate within 2-3 years.
As a Canadian I've always wanted to learn French (well I kind of can just not vary well). But having dyslexia makes it much harder. Also fun fact: there's only one province in Canada that is official bilingual, luckily for me I live there so I'm always seeing French, mostly on highway signs
And that's New Brunswick!
Bonne chance ! Don’t hesitate to ask me your questions.
It’s been a while and DAMN HIS VOICE IS HAWTTTTTTTTT NICE TRANSITION
I’m trying to learn German and I find going on to UA-cam comments and reading German is a great way to help reinforce your learning.
I’m learning German right now and it is interesting hearing you talk about it. I’m in highschool and I’ve always been interested in it. I am definitely at the lowest level and can understand enough
Hey, das ist großartig! Als deutscher Landsmann bin ich froh, dass du es gelernt hast!
Jawohl!
Dem kann ich mich an der Stelle nur anschließen. Top dieser Kommentar!
Needed this, Learning German for fun.
congrats on 1 mil
This is basically similar to what I did to learn English. School wasn't that useful for me, because I was one of those people that always forget everything after an exam lol, and the fact that it was so different from my first language (Italian) made me kind of not really care about it. But after discovering that some fandoms that interested me had lots of videos in English, I threw myself on them. And when I discovered Discord, I started to use it too to help myself with the language and find more people to chat with that share my interests. It's funny because it's been just a few months from when I started actually practicing with English, and while I don't consider myself fluent with it, I consider myself good enough to make a conversation.
That grammar, spelling, everything was perfect! Good job! (Cause we over here in the US are mostly not learning other languages lol [other than Spanish sometimes])
@@hyzmarie Thank you so much!!!
Same i just played minecraft so english was easy i prob use it as much as my 1st laungage, but german is hard cus what interesting is in german? Also they speak stupid fast
Richtig gutes Video!
Du machst das so gut (schon seit Jahren)
Every time I mess up talking or writing, I try to remember a quote from Confucius that's commonly translated as "With words it is enough if they get the meaning across." As long as the person you're talking with understands what you're getting at, you're doing it right. Getting the tense or gender of a word wrong is most likely not gonna matter, and it's not like you never make mistakes in your native language either, right?
And I for one would love more german-related content :3c
Yes! Exactly! Language is for communicating first and foremost. Also, mistakes are information that help us learn and grow.
0:21 U said that in such a great german accent
Hallo Chip, ich liebe deine Videos, weiter so
Finde ich echt cool, hoffe das du es jetzt gut kannst.👍
Very interesting to see how you practise your german. I didn't know about your german channel and as a native german speaker I think that your pronunciation is really good, you should keep going.
HOLY COW A SPLATOON UPDATE ANNOUNCEMENT AND A CHIPFLAKE VIDEO?? IN ONE DAY?? HOW COULD THIS DAY GET ANY BETTER???
The "sooo..." in the beginning was spot-on! 😀
Diese Video hat mir gefallen so!
I'm not sure why your voice sounded different here, but it did. Anyhoo, great job!
Funny. Your channel literally taught me more English than school did. Thank you :D
ive been learning spanish for a while but speaking it is definitely difficult for me--i do the same thing where im mentally translating sentence by sentence and take too long to process what im saying and what is being said..
i see you were also a former warrior cats enthusiast... :3
For me I have to structure the sentence in my brain before saying, if I don't I just stutter and keep saying "uuunnnnn"
I used to do german duolingo lessons until i lost my streak and gave up. I'm actually a current warrior cats fan, I've slightly forgotten some of the books and REALLY need to catch up on them.
It's fun hearing you describe your language journey . ...und was dir die deustchen Sprache beigebracht hat.
American, here. I spent an exchange student year in Germany way back in 1985! Vernacular has changed since then. I notice now that informal "du" in conversation seems far more common now than then, and I find myself full of questions about that. Maybe that is different online "gegenüber" in person? I don't know, but we never had internet back then, let alone You Tube, which is my absolute favorite thing about the internet. There are seemingly endless You Tubers available, both to teach nuts and bolts language structure, vocabularly, colloquialisms, dialogue, etc., AND cultural and linguistic trivia to inspire us to want to learn. Thanks for doing your part!
Gute Arbeit!
Very useful information. Definitely something to think about. Thank you for sharing it.
@simplymaplelywhat do you mean?
here is also something useful sambzockt creates a game for chipflake
they are a he @simplymaplely
Ur first 🎉
Its really great that you are actually putting in the effort. So many people these days, just come here, not even caring about learning German. Which brings a lot of complicated situations with it. For instance: My mom used to work as a parametic and so often she had people, not being able to tell her whats wrong, if they have any pain or something.
So, congrats and thank you that you are doing your best. ^^BTW: Could you link your german channel? I would like to check it out
I as a german, watched a bit of a video, where you spoke german, and have to say, youre realy good at it! For like the first few sentences I wouldnt even know, that youre foreign and thats realy rare! Continue, youre doing great!
Yay a story video!
One of the biggest things that helped me get better at english is starting to think exclusively in it. You need to be at a certain level to not just end up teaching yourself broken sentences but I think you've more than passed that level. It also makes you constantly warmed up in the language, now it takes me a while to go back to my native language.

You just unlocked a core memory for me.
I remember those books!!
hell yeah, im watching this on my vacation to germany (mannheim)
I don't actually know whether school or UA-cam helped me learn English the most (or if this sentence is grammatically correct, for that matter lol), because I started watching english Sims Let's Plays around one year after starting to learn it in school and I think it genuinely helped me so much. Especially since these videos incorporate a lot of vocabulary used in day-to-day life. I'd also recommend reading books in the language you're learning but maybe don't be like me and start with reading Fantasy, because the first chapter or so was always A PAIN to read
Le skunk jumpscare
Also thanks for le information and experience. It helps a lot
It's so cool hearing someone else learn a new language so different from English, I related a lot to this lol. Also I would enjoy more German videos since I'm not familiar with Germany and it's culture and it would be cool to hear from you
Well as a french people, i had easily ton of people speaking English. I recently start streaming (and still struggle to know if ill go full french or english) and have half of peeps following me being englsih speaking people and french so I have a good training for talking. I recently learned unity too and decided to make a looong video of what I learned (I was knowing nothing) and sent it to people that know me since years... And got treated with "WOW YOU IMPROVED SO MUCH IN 5 YEARS ITS INCREDIBLE" and heard that just motivated me to keeps practicing even more english !
Reading manga is a great idea! I still think i have a ways to go until i get to the point where i can do that but its exciting!
The skunk jump scared me, that's for sure
Also on the emphasis of " *B R I T* "
I've been learning a lot of Spanish lately to help me connect to my Peruvian roots (I'm 1/4 Peruvian, in case you were curious!), and it's been a lot of fun adding words to my Spanish vocabulary! Hopefully I can add some of your advice to my personal curriculum! :)
Just remember
Es difícil aprender el español
Porque todo lo que dices tiene otra definición
(that is a real song btw)
@alexandrert8252 Dang it, I can only understand half of that XD
"It's difficult to learn Spanish
Because [something something] what you say, they have [something] definition"
Or something like that. XD
I'll have to look up the song later!
@@WinglessMoonstone "it's difficult to learn Spanish because everything you say has a different meaning"
@@alexandrert8252 Ayyy I got pretty close! :D
@@alexandrert8252 Just looked up this song and yeah, it's so true. I'm attempting to study Mexican Spanish specifically, but find it difficult as so much is in Castilian and I hate it. I can't imagine someone trying to learn a dialect of Spanish from a smaller country, there's probably even less resources. Or even worse, someone not making the distinction and learning from whatever Spanish resources they come across.
Hey thanks to this video I just learned "Kakerlake"! Vielen dank!
Hello, I am also a fellow brit learning Deutsch. Having lots of fun learning alongside my entirely fluent German friend (who inspired me to learn) and I hope every other german speaker and learner enjoys the journey!
I've been learning german for five years in school and this year I even stayed a month in a family (spoiler, worst month of my life, they were horrible in the most annoying ways imaginable) to improve and "test" what I learnt in school.
Today at work I had a middle-to-late-aged german couple come in. They didn't speak english well so I spoke german with them. I took me a second to get back in it, but after we were able to interact without any issues. I have rarely felt this good before regarding my german.
Point is, it's funny how you post this video when I want to start watching videos in german to improve lol, I'll definitely check out your other channel!
I'm a *whisper* _frenchie_ btw

I did german before GCSEs in highschool, but my grades were so low my head teacher didint let me do it as a GCSE, last year I decided that 3 years later I'd attempt duolingo, I'm now on a 300 day streak and very determined to keep going, now in Y13 I speak better German than most people I know who took the GCSE

i'm currently learning german as it is a part of one my school subjects, i'm definitely not that good at it yet as i'm still learning the basics. as of now i've learnt the alphabet, self introduction, numbers, days of the week, months in a year, school subjects, and hobbies. and also a few words that i've learnt by myself :D. i'm very excited to start improving my german as, number 1, this means i'll be able to speak 3 languages! (i'm malaysian. i speak malay and english currently.) and number 2, when you reach form 4 at my school, if you excel in german you do actually get to go to germany! i'm really looking forward to that. anyways, with the very little german i know, ich hoffe dich habe ein guten tag, chip!
at 5:12 when he mentioned songs my mind started playing both erika and sonne at the same time
I think sneaking a bit of that language into your life day by day can help you learn a language faster than usual. That's what worked for me at least.
