This is very much true. The only help is to learn the articles together with a noun. So there is no: "Schule", think always: "die Schule", "der Baum", "das Auto". I live 30 years in Germany and on the one side you really get a feeling of the articles and on the other side you learn to decide. So if I don't know the article I decide one on my intuition but then I keep to it without any hesitation. So if I would get it wrong and said: "das Schule" then I would do all the conjug. according to this

[@kimikallman3721]

Thank you for saying the words/phrases slowly the first time as it is easier to repeat for us who are learning to speak German. I would love to see more videos like this.

[@rajanasir3342]

ich liebe dich Kimi Kallman...

[@deutschmitpurple2918]

I totally agree with you 👍👍👍

[@looiecins]

If you hate us, why are you watching a video to learn our language, you sir, are what we call a Depp in my country Sincerely, every german

[@easylanguages]

yes, I think he would. I live 26 out of Poland (I was 24 as I left) and I still understand everything, also the newest slang (only seldom I have to look up in the slang dictionary)

[@kikohoff]

[@piemuo88]

[@DanielLeoSimpson]

Love this - and love how it starts right away! Way to go girl! Daniel Léo Simpson Composer San Francisco

[@DanielLeoSimpson]

Daniel Léo Simpson update to myself: you can slow down the speed by clicking "Settings" (the gear in the bottom right part of the video). You can click the video once with the mouse, then use space bar to stop/pause and L-arrow R-arrow keys to back up her sentance or skip forward. Sehr cool You Tube!

[@yenextra1]

[@easylanguages]

wir haben eine Arbeitsgruppe auf Facebook: Easy German Club!

[@DanClapp]

Saving this one for the rhymes. Those are fire!

[@cashernandes1]

Lol, these are the coolest expressions I've ever seen in a language video. Thank you!

[@deutschmitpurple2918]

🤗❤️🤗❤️

[@tomchandler7568]

Still ?

[@alexallan-musicaaovivo500]

3:51 Wo liegt "Makkaresch"? Hahahah Vielleicht in" Makkoros"?? I am learning a lot, thanks to Easy German videos, but I noticed that some mistakes fall through the cracks. This project is awesome and its vídeos deserve careful checking before being released on KZbin. Once the project has an educational purpose, it should care more about spelling!

[@stuttgartusa]

Thank's for the german lesson videos,I watch them over and over, Thank's Magauchsein! Love the head turn by Rebea on the word Tussi,she got alot of expression like the title says.

[@S_3_]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! now my german won't sound so dry and robotic. :)

[@valdirbergamobergamo5396]

Wonderful, thanks😊😊😊

[@chrisbilbo56]

It's telling people to start eating and enjoy their food. Pretty common term in Australia. Not sure how common elsewhere.

[@giinhhakha]

These are great expressions. Thanks for posting. Would these expressions be understood by a German who hasn't lived in Germany for 20 years?

[@HesseJamez]

Wenn du es jetzt noch schaffst, auf Englisch den Unterschied zwischen mir und mich zu erklären, bist du gut!

[@easylanguages]

@JonathanBruner182 also when she says "Alter" and "Tussi" :D It's a very unusual situation to say things like that to the camera.

[@XidAbiX]

schön*!! Dont forget the dots! ;) English pronunciation: "ö" sounds like the "u" in "hurt" However "o" sounds like the english o.. ( "ä" = the "a" in "fantasy", "a" = the "u" in "dust" "ü" = "ou" in "you", "u" = "u" in "around" but a bit stronger ^^ ) Also the meaning of o & ö (a & ä, u & ü) is different. For example: Schon = already Schön = beautiful If you have no german keyboard you should use "oe" for "ö" ("ue" = "ü", "ae" = "ä" ).. :P

[@juancalahorrano6530]

[@Suomibear8]

[@akashh2311]

[@dramin25]

loool so nice those daily expression i think will be very usefull esp the street language

[@meharshani3948]

I like this video.

[@kmedler909]

Mostly normally, just like we do here, eg richtig pronounced just like the beginning of right, but somtimes it is rolled a bit, as in brot, which meand bread.

[@franciscoacosta8289]

Easy German ist total super! Ich lerne Deutsch und das ist cool vir mich.

[@HesseJamez]

We have some common noises with russian and russians use some german loan words, though english is much closer to german. Russian is a slavic language with a very different word order and grammar. Even the alphabet is different.

[@sahelkhoshnasib1554]

vielen dank

[@paulmera7677]

Very nice theme!

[@limberlan]

[@mazin_0_0]

Thank you , you are such nice person

[@challajeevitha4366]

Hey! Thanks for this helpful video. By the way, I hear a lot of people keep on talking about Rocelangue Method (google it), but I'm not sure if it is good. Have you tried this how to speak practical foreign language tutorial known as Rocelangue Method? I have heard some amazing things about it.

[@AngryScissor]

Literally "You don't have all the cups in your cupboard," like all sorts of funny English sayings that mean the same thing, "You've lost your marbles," or "You're a few crayons short of the box" "You're a few cards short of a deck."

[@PaintTheSilence94]

This is perfect.

[@reyrevenant]

It's just a rhyme, like easy peasy lemon squeezy. In México we have phrases with Rhymes too, but none comes to my mind right now.

[@GallagherLady]

Ich bin italienerin und Ich lerne deutsch..very good, thanks for this video :)

[@MyLove-bw2wg]

ich habe nicht bis jetzt diese wörter gehört🙆🙆🙆🙌🙌

[@klotz__]

@giinhhakha Most of them yes. Some expressions have been "invented" theese days and some of them I even never heard as a German living in Germany.

[@MsDjessa]

LOL It´s cute how she seem´s to allmost burst in to laughing at some points. Can´t blame her.

[@xRedRiverax]

the girl should get a medal for saying all that with out laughing. rofl!!

[@angelon86031]

toll! Danke

[@majapohl2183]

I‘m watching to videos where people learn german, and it‘s so funny if you are from Germany 😂😂

[@rockhurstalum09]

thanks for this

[@Eagle249]

That is funny. Since, I am still learning it that part gets a little confusing. Also, what words get uppercase and what doesn't. And how there isn't really a "s" like cars, cats, bikes, ect.... Just another thing I will need to learn.

[@gelmen3840]

Good

[@rickj895]

nice video

[@albertialpha]

hi , i have a quick question, when you say " alles fit "· is that a question ??, because in the translation says everything's alright ?, // but in English the Question will be : Is everything alright ? so when you say " everything's alright " that it means that you are responding , so i got confused with that, can you please clearify that for me , danke

[@JonathanBruner182]

Did anyone catch those looks after she said Tag both times

[@mgspunk]

@JonathanBruner182 yea i noticeed it and then looked down to see the comments and saw yours.

[@khafo4143]

Wieso habt ihr das halbe Video abgeschnitten? :( Gibt es den Rest noch w zu sehen? Ich habe das Video vor enger Zeit gesehen und wollte meinen Fortschritt vergleichen.

[@chriswhited]

they really should tell people that different parts of germany use, sometimes, completely different words. i was in bamberg germany 6 years and never heard some of the stuff they're saying on here. is this translation from old east german territory?

[@juliajuhasz7679]

I live next to Bamberg (15 min away) and the first what I have learned was: Nach freilich! :DDDD This will never appear in any videos :DDD

[@niizu29]

I agree. Some of the phrases are quite funny but if you are just beginning to learn the language, it could easily end up in someone misunderstanding you and you not being able to explain away that it was a joke. This reminds me of a phrasebook which my Japanese friend showed me which has phrases like "I'm fuckin hungry" (there were worse ones) - like the writer just inserted "fuckin" to be cool or something. People do speak like that but it's kind of missing the point of a phrasebook.

[@barbywinner]

in grammatical book, i read that there are long and short "ü" and "ö". Do you guys, German, really recognize which one is long and which one is short when you speak? one more thing, to me, mädchen sounds like midchen, so how exactly do u pronounce this word?

[@5HT2A292]

Voll geil, dass Tussi "bimbo" heißt!

[@NairaKa]

%50 of these are hilarious 🤣 Alles will be cool in İstanbul after two months 🙃

[@beyazzenci2515]

3:19 bestes Wort

[@evechen7586]

C2+ level: slang after the highest level.....

[@XidAbiX]

[@yonasabrham952]

vielen Dank meine Schwester

[@sticknstonesbrkbones]

You forgot, "You're one Excedrin tablet short of a full medicine cabinet"~ Eminem lol

[@Gredddfe]

And they say that Germans don't have a sense of humour. "All is cool in Istanbul" Legendary.

[@messiasfernandes2177]

2:48 I learned that Alter means age, old age. Is it common to use Alter as "dude"?

[@easylanguages]

you say: ich bin notgeil :D

[@MasenkaSolo]

cool :) thank you!

[@maidragonslayer]

this is very easy for me. looks like Dutch. by the way good video :'D

[@sticknstonesbrkbones]

I like this one. Es ist wunderbar. Ich bin lernen Deutsch eines tages, und eines wort nach dem anderen. Is that right? lol Danke

[@ericjohnsonfan]

[@nevronial]

@blah2994 that's the first thing that crossed my mind too ^^

[@rajanasir3342]

Hallo. Guten tag. Wie geht es lhnen? ich liebe Deutsch ❤

[@diegostraube6016]

wahahahahaha das war die beste video die ich im leben gesehen habe LOL TROLL LOLLIPOP LOL LOLAZO VIEJO!

[@Eagle249]

That is true. For me, I wanted to learn the language that my family once spoke about 270 years ago. Once, they came to America, there went the German langnage. lol

[@xixxxxix5084]

That was lower Deutsch though

[@cirosiri5922]

So "Es geht so" literally means "it's working" but you actually means that "it's not working !?

[@Parradoxonn]

Ciro Siri You are right. It means Its okay.... not bad not good....

[@foevahavinskillz]

@JonathanBruner182 haha yea i did it was like she was giving the cameraman a wtf look

[@xJelenax3]

alles fit is a question, yes

[@Eagle249]

I have always told people they were the same family language. As a native English speaker, I find German to be easy for me to learn. I also like German a lot more then English. There are to many stupid rules in English.
