    People saying you need to improve your German but it's so good considering you've only just moved to Germany. You have a lot more confidence with speaking than I do, and I'm at C1 level. Of course over time your German vocabulary and pronunciation will improve but it's really not bad for someone who's not been in Germany that long.

    Wenn Du die deutsche Sprache lernst ist es nicht wichtig, gut zu sprechen und alles richtig zu sagen, sondern überhaupt zu sprechen. Der Wortschatz kommt nach und wenn Dir die richtige Aussprache wichtig ist, dann wirst Du auch das lernen. Ich hätte das jetzt auch auf Englisch sagen können, aber ich kann ja beide Sprachen schon :D

    @2:44: "You think?" doesn't translate to "Du denkst?". (The correct phrase would've been "Glaubst du?"/"Findest du?".) For one, because think doesn't translate to denken in this context (see correct phrasings, denken means "to form thoughts", _exclusively_ ), and secondly, because "Du denkst?" (as opposed to "Denkst du?") isn't a(n open) question, it's a statement, put in question/doubt. It would mean "You think?" in the sense of "Wow! You (can) _do that_ ?"
    Where am I going with this?
    Colloquial language, common phrases and idioms are three of the worst things in a language to get right. DON'T. GIVE. UP.

      No joking. I come from the ruhr valley and because of work i traveled through germany. The bavarians mad an effort speaking understandably but when they talked to each other there was no chance and when i reached Thürigen i had a hard time understanding the customer. German has many faces.

    Well, your pronunciation wasn't exactly great but understandable. I spose it's just a bit difficult to speak to people in Kempten, a smaller town in the Allgäu where people tend to spare with words. Maybe you shouldn't have just shouted your questions into the crowd walking by .You ought to have addressed single people directly. The man you managed to finally talk to was funny. You're channel is nice, keep it up!

    Hey you are doing so great, i love your videos. But as an German who lives in Austria, i noticed you always say "OIDA" instead of "ALTAH". In Vienna it is very common to say oida! But in Germany no one uses or understands that. In germany you have to say alter, "Aahltah", Alter, to be understood. And only with younger ppl. It's a quite new term and older ppl (above 55yrs) might understand it as disrespectfull. But anyway, you're a cool guy and we are happy with ppl like you!

    So I am native german speaker and I have difficulties understanding you. If you would just scream on the street, I would have walked past too. If you would have asked in English, no problem, but if I wouldn't have closely listened and guess, it is very hard to know what you are saying sometimes.
