Vielen Dank Very helpful. I don't agree that it's too fast. We have to get used to normal speech. For those who think it's too fast - just re-run the phrases a few times. You'll get it.

[@angelcobosardon]

nomajj You can change the speed of the video too in video options at the right top, clicking on three dots. Cheers!

[@ilovefredreika]

Girl at 2:11 is so cute, especially when she speaks :))

[@sunving]

Thank you very much.

[@DeutschWerner]

Ist es typisch zu sagen "Ich liebe Eis" im Gegensatz zu (z.B.) "Mir schmeckt Eis sehr"? Ich fürchte "ich liebe..." ist ein Anglizismus. Danke für die tolle Arbeit!

[@ihsahnakerfeldt2765]

kein Anglizismus, sondern einfach ein anderer richtiger Ausdruck

[@saqibjan661]

i really appreciate your work BUT you are talking very FAST :(

[@miltonweinhold6859]

bro, there's a speed regulator on the youtube's player, that can help you.

[@miltonweinhold6859]

it's also really funny to watch

[@saqibjan661]

Ander Stuhl Thank you !

[@DanielLeoSimpson]

Ander Stuhl Wow, I never knew that - big help - danke sehr! Daniel Léo Simpson Composer San Francisco

[@julienb.2210]

+Saqib Jan I think its also very good : if you want understand something when you're in the land, you have to train in real conditions (i didn't make it, so these videos are very usefull for me now) :)

[@pexma]

Make a video in Aachen please 🙂🙂🙂

[@SilasGTBronte]

Diese Videos sind sehr hilfreich.

[@tylerbertolio2791]

Great video!

[@easylanguages]

Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@nemodot]

früchte? I thought It was "obst".

[@zakkilhoffer]

both work.

[@jonathanctay7422]

Zak Kilhoffer Are they exact synonyms or are there contexts where it's only one or the other?

[@majapohl2183]

nemodot this two words mean the same ☺️

[@esperanzab.7370]

Which part of Germany are these people from? Because their accent is strange to the Standard German I learned in Goethe. Can anyone tell me, please?

[@MrOmau]

keep it up please, you guys are awesome!!

[@anikokovacsevics1549]

super!

[@nisrineslimani8767]

isn't Essen a city in Germany ?

[@sten-u1g]

Entschuldigung. Könnte ich eine Frage stellen? 0:16 warum ist es “richtig”, ich denke, dass es “richtiges” sein sollen.

[@user-bf4gs6ue8o]

das ist super 👍👍👍❤❤❤

[@hazartilirot1014]

0:59 is mistake - Plums (not Plumes)

[@ryukendo85]

why essen is the last word in the sentence ? is it because of the word möchte/möchtest ? why not say like this : was du isst ?

[@RisenPhoenixUK]

Very good video aber a few translation problems noodles is pasta oder? And you must be skilled to wash paprika wow! Sehr Gut!

[@cyborg2144]

0:58 it's plums*

[@manushankar5191]

0:19 - 0:21, Could'nt there be a simpler way of saying something like "Mag ich essen brotroll mit nutella meisten". Pardon me if its wrong, had learned a little bit of german earlier.

[@manushankar5191]

Danke sehr.

[@nicesaida794]

super

[@danilock]

nice

[@cpblacksea6713]

danke sehr gut

[@linhscarlet]

ich meine, die Deutsche viel schneller als englischer Muttersprachler sprechen. Aber das ist hilfreich hier zu lernen, wie Leute miteinander zwar im taeglichen Leben sprechen

[@k3p740]

Why are they in Namibia?

[@salemxxx5007]

Where does her accent come from? which region from germany? It's lovely. I want to know

[@ihsahnakerfeldt9280]

They all pretty much speak standard German here, perhaps with the exception of the guy with the "crazy beer".

[@kossiafannou3244]

Super

[@karenrivera474]

Thank for this complete job you've made. But NOCH EINMAL, BITTE LANGSAM. 😄

[@frenchfan3368]

"Ich nehme mir Nachschlag." = "I'm getting seconds." Not to be overcritical, but "I want to eat more" is not a good translation.

[@nicoantonescu4773]

'paprika' should be Peppers in English :)

[@sheepdogsherlock1311]

Yeah I have never washed "paprika" before lol

[@bokdong2222]

Thanks ! ich lerne deutsch.

[@yigitcan824]

A)Was ist das? B)Das ist ein saftiges Steak.Essen Sie Steak gern? A)Ja,sehr gern. B)Guten Appetit. A)Danke. B)Möchten Sie noch etwas essen oder trinken? A)Oh ja,bitte. B)Möchten Sie ein Bier? A)Ja,bitte.

[@mohammadnurealam9053]

Sehr sehr gut. Vielen dank. Gesundheit neu friend.

[@rasheedkhasbolat843]

Wo seid ihr?

[@rajanasir3342]

Hallo. Guten Morgen. Wie geht es lhnen? Ich liebe Deutsch. Vielen vielen Danke ❤

[@depewie]

2:09 Would “ich möchte etwas Fleisch zu essen” work?

[@FOUAD07SMT]

Omg so diff but everything is gonna be alright

[@charlieinsane]

Alles wird gut.

[@walterhernandez8623]

Vielen Dank für diese Video! Ich habe viel gelernt! :) Ich habe eine Frage: Warum sind diese Deutsche Leute in dieses videos immer in Namibia?

[@lucyapanda6499]

The plumes translation confused me, but it's actually plums

[@ema7768]

Nachdem ich Ihr Video gesehen habe , ich habe Hunger

[@ponosenslovenec]

Ich habe eine Frage für Sie. Bitte antworten Sie. Wie ist deutsch ausgesprochen: "Das schmekt gut?" also ist das wie: "das ʃmɛlkt kut" ausgesprochen oder "das ʃmɛlkt gut" und ein Satz mehr: "Kannst du mir helfen?" ist das wie: "kannst tu mir helfen?" oder "kanns du mir helfen?" Ich hoffe dass ich nicht so kompliziert geschrieben hab. Hier ist auch ein Video über dieses Thema: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXbKo3mPobZjl5Y

[@salimv.h2191]

Do you realy mean to help some one learn or show your expertise

[@zabihkhanjari7309]

Danke für Ihre Hilfe 😂

[@scottrobinson8513]

Can anyone explain "sau Lecker"? I thought it was "sehr lecker". Is "sau Lecker" slang?

[@Sarah-kc3fb]

Scott Robinson Sau lecker is slang. Translated word by word it means "pig tasty", but it's just another way to say that it tastes really good. Wouldn't use that one in a fancy Restaurant though.

[@manchesterdonovan7137]

+Sarah E. thank you for the tip , but in a fancy Restaurant how can I say to the chef the food was tasty ? and about the word geil .. is polite say that (essen ist geil ) ?

[@Sarah-kc3fb]

MANCHESTER DONOVAN In a Restaurant you could say: Es hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Oder: Es war sehr lecker. Both of them mean that the food was tasty. And i would use the word geil only when you are out with friends. Its usual translation is horny. So not quite the polite way haha

[@manchesterdonovan7137]

Sarah E. thank you , you are so amazing person for help me with german language.

[@Sarah-kc3fb]

MANCHESTER DONOVAN Don't mention it:)

[@tvlifeoutsidethebox]

Cool concept, but way too fast!! Please... Pace... Yourself...

[@sheepdogsherlock1311]

Yeah, this is supposed to be easy German, but the natural speed tends to slur words together and can't be differentiated by untrained ears.

[@Ninchennase]

I'm afraid that's just normal natural speed really. So talking more slowly would be unnatural.

[@graziofazzino970]

Sototitoli in italiano bitte

[@qudratullahbaqiry5608]

danke sher ;) :)!! Das ist so schnell

[@tinpot1978]

Why weren't they pronouncing "haben" in the sentence "Jetzt haben wir Hunger!" ? It sounded like they were pronouncing it "ham" like "Jetzt ham wir Hunger"... help please.

[@Unbrutal_Rawr]

+tinpot1978 Final -en in German is normally reduced to a syllabic N that is assimilated to the previous sound. Thus, ben->bm, den->dn, pfen->pfm, tzen->tzn. Those are all syllables with the N/M acting as a vowel.

[@tinpot1978]

Do you have a link to where I could read up more on this please?

[@Unbrutal_Rawr]

tinpot1978 Here's one quick google hit: clasfaculty.ucdenver.edu/tphillips/fonetix/syllabic-consonants-intro.pdf

[@ashrafdarwish2537]

Sehr gut ! Viele gruesse aus Aegypten !

[@marwaghith5134]

[@richarddenny5340]

lovely German young women, very charming in any language

[@redneckweiser3672]

[@tspark1071]

Dieser Clip hilft mir lernen Deutsch

[@regnul1]

[@januszhamerski6890]

German students visiting Namibia

[@lolasogm]

Andrei Mozgov guess you haven't been to Europe. It's basically Africa/Arabia 2.0

[@IJotaK]

I just need to found the girl who said "Ich liebe Eis", Ich liebe Sie.

[@罗裕丰-s5v]

[@boutainast5902]

Can we create a group of girls in whatsapp and practice germany ?

[@mohcinechahyd4755]

WAS ist deine handynummer?

[@dedyangga6094]

It's too fast

[@gerrie001]

This is a great video but you speak really really fast!

[@isorozco511]

So I guess "ich" is pronounced like and american says "ish"?

[@lal2235]

Isai Orozco no, haces que tu lengua toque los dientes a los lados, y luego dejas salir el aire hacia delante. you make your tongue touch your teeth on the both sides, and then let the air go forward

[@MR2SpyerJournal]

Isai Orozco No. Pretend you're going to say "icky", but without the k sound. Some soften the k sound, but it is definitely not "ish."

[@lal2235]

The best explanation Ive been given is to touch the sides of the tongue with the teeth on the sides and let the air come out

[@MR2SpyerJournal]

***** That's a good start.

[@Noname-rc6us]

Schon etwas mutig "geil" mit "awesome" zu übersetzen. " geil" ist der Ersatz für alle anderen Adjektive in der deutschen Sprache.

[@adnanfakhar212]

lol this wasn't easy to me at all and I am an intermediate in German

[@alexanderanikin2551]

"Fruits"? Das is nicht richtig auf Englisch. "Fruit" ist unzählbar.

[@khalidmohammadi2617]

ich liebe mich

[@abdelmoula8]

[@SilentMover95]

[@cupcakes262]

[@noahtorrey7813]

👴🕶👌🏼

[@priyabrl3458]

diese Leute sprechen so schnell. manchmal verstehe gar nichts :(

[@shiarmaamu2463]

Das ist sehr schnell reden

[@bthnbgdt]

Was habt ihr zu Essen da? Why zu? why da? why? and why again

[@easylanguages]

(Janusz) “zu essen” translates to “to eat” - “zu” helps to express an infinitive just like “to” does it in English. “da” means “there”

[@bthnbgdt]

@@easylanguages Thank you, i knew "essen" is already infinitive, but express it? That's what i didnt know :)

[@sachthegod0]

Ich wasche Paprika 😍 1:59
