[@HiAdrian]

Du hast eine unglaublich gute, klare Aussprache und dabei viel Kraft in der Stimme. Besser kann man Deutsch nicht sprechen.

[@paulzeus7783]

I found your channel out today I love your vids. I'm Italian and I've been learning German self-taught for three months and your vids are helping me a lot. I really hope you upload new vids soon. I consider these kindsa videos to be a gold mine. I've just subscribed to your channel.

[@tommylau7457]

It sounds more like english when it is simplified

[@HamzaAfridi999]

I am motivated 😂❤

[@DeutschMitGuido]

Sehr schön und gut erklärt. Tolle angenehme Stimme.

[@gogigoran]

Subscribed. Really unique and helpful channel for those who learn German. Some of these tips you can't find anywhere else, at least you can't explained in such clear and simple way. Keep going!

[@Germanonlinegym]

Thank you, Goran!

[@niblet2121]

Danke schön, sehr sehr hilfreich. Bitte mehr von diesen Beispielen 🙏

[@surgicool8618]

This is simply a revelation! Really well done and helpful.

[@05-J95]

Another helpful video thank you

[@kar01870]

I struggle with deciphering spoken German even though I know the written words. This was helpful in making things easier. Danke!

[@HamzaAfridi999]

You are the best amongst alllllllllll German teachers on KZbin.. suscribed

[@hayfahvytsen]

Great stuff - well done. Thanks!

[@rogercarl3969]

Love this lesson but one caveat: As a nonnative speaker of German I found that I should not use the contracted forms. This confuses the native speakers somewhat and I think they feel I trying to be too cool since I do not directly inflect as a German speaker would and perhaps it makes them feel they are being judged on their own language use. It is as if I am trying to mock them. Therefore I stick to proper German whenever I can.

[@광동아재廣東大叔]

This is really so common in German "Umgangssprache"... But this kind of usage could only be picked up during a relatively younger age, I think. I'm Korean, born and grown up in Frankfurt.

[@frankiespencer758]

Vielen Dank Ihnen...kannst du bitte mehr videos darueber machen?

[@kareemhegazy9513]

perfekt Erklärung danke Lehre ich hoffe du machst mehr Videos

[@ДимитърСтойчев-б7ь]

This is very useful, thank you!

[@sheepleslayer586]

had a friend and co worker named 'hamse' when I was younger. he was a funny guy.

[@dylanclarke4654]

Ich unterrichte Englisch als Fremdsprache. Ich benutze das Beispiel "going to..." und "gonna..." Vielen Dank für deine deutschen Beispiele. (I would use an exclamation point for enthusiasm with my, "Thanks!" but I am told that German punctuation views it as reproachful more than enthusiastic 👍) Dein Video zur deutschen Syntax war äußerst hilfreich. Keep up the great work!

[@lerf2544]

This is actually the most helpful pronunciation video right now. Pls make part 2!

[@oksanaom3784]

Super hilfreich!1000 Dank!

[@HD-ex8xr]

The best channel , thank you

[@marcelomartel9074]

The video I was looking for.

[@ugurkeles7429]

Wow, that was enlightening. Also I hear something like glottal T -in words like zehnten, Kindergarten, minuten- in German but couldn't find a place where examines it. Does this channel have that kind of video or does anybody know a website or something like that?

[@asiye_kubra_temiz]

Thank you

[@KKruse-jb4cu]

This is eye-opening.

[@eduardotheraccoon3113]

I'm used to shortening the words, i think it's too hard to say "haben" compared to "habm"

[@dyslexicdoodlebob3163]

I just say hom for haben lmao

[@srikanth_2k273]

Danke. Ich finde dem information wirklich.

[@Prometheusaurus]

Vielen, vielen dank!

[@SoyJavero]

Second part, please.

[@Germanonlinegym]

I will post several lectures from my German pronunciation video course, here is another one: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIqxaIKpe6-frdE

[@rafaelsantos1665]

Danke

[@jungefrau]

Californians shorten everything, so this feels very natural to me. Thanks for the lesson!

[@timmeshkov9942]

hey there! I've been searching for something like this for a very long time and finally my attempts are rewarded! Thanks a lot for this video! However it seems there's much more of these elisions and weak forms in German and i'd really like to know more about them. Could you please recommend some materials (textbooks or scientific papers, maybe other videos on the subject) which cover a wider range of instances of the connected speech in German? Best, Tim :)

[@Germanonlinegym]

I'm glad you like the video. Check out this book: www.amazon.com/Modern-German-pronunciation-introduction-speakers/dp/0719066891

[@rhythmharmony2923]

2:09 Even more reduced: "Chapm Hund." All the unimportant information is smushed together to emphasize the relevant one.

[@ijansk]

Is elision a normal aspect of the German language as it is in English? In English elision happens all the time and is normal regardless of context or formality in order to make speech fluent and easy for the tongue and avoid sounding like a robot. I was wondering about German because German has even more complex consonant clusters.

[@Germanonlinegym]

The video touches on that topic

[@AFBLYS]

Du bist wunderschön! Viele Grüße aus Dubai…

[@orangeblue4032]

Sometimes I even catch myself shortening „Ich hab einen Hund“ to „Ich hab‘m‘ Hund“

[@joeynyesss1286]

I don't think these are extreme as the English "wanna" and "gonna" and if anything I still understood them quite well and my german isn't that great. Was interesting to know this happens in German though I would have never have known.

[@naveenprajapati4599]

In the word Jet2t what's 2 there?

[@Germanonlinegym]

That's a z -> Jetzt = now

[@Prometheusaurus]

Question though? Are those all the ways native German speakers pronounce certain words in conversations?

[@Germanonlinegym]

I'd say yes, when people speak standard German. But there are many dialects and variations that sound different

[@leoo97323]

I am living in Germany and trying to practice the german language by speaking to natives, but when they start speaking i have no clue what they´re saying and then i switch to english ahahah

[@mortenb3606]

cool!

[@anjneshrajput8011]

Thanx a lot.it was very informative.well, how important German becomes for foreigners as compared to english if you wanna study or work there ?

[@Germanonlinegym]

You're very welcome! Even if your work or studies are in English, it's very important to learn German, preferably before moving there. It'll make everything much easier, the daily interactions, making friendships and feeling at home in your new environment. Good luck!

[@jcespinoza]

I'm glad because I have a hard time pronouncing all those final t's anyway :)

[@scoutjohnson1803]

You should try Danish!!

[@spinning78]

One of the points of your video is that these reductions/simplifications are to reduce the movement of the mouth muscles. You compare what you do in German to the words gonna and wanna in English but I would like to point out a big difference between these English reductions/simplifications to the German ones. If you use the words gonna, wanna, betcha, cuz in American English you are either perceived to be: 1) a child who is learning to speak properly, 2) a person who has little education or 3) you are being sarcastic/emphatic or indignant. Personally, if I use these words my friends and family know that I am using them as number 3. I would never use these words with strangers or in a work setting as people who do not know me would think I am uneducated. Unless you have a good command of American English I do not recommend English learners to use these words unless they are talking to people they have become friends with. Based on your video I don't think the German reductions/simplifications cause a change in ones perception of the person who is speaking, or does it? As an aside, I personally do not like when Germans speak this way as I think the German language is beautiful when spoken properly.

[@B.N.Y-1980]

Wow!!

[@myvht2444]

I wonder why I‘ve just known your video until now

[@Nathan-Croft]

English speakers also drop the T-s

[@andrenascimento8036]

Wow! Wonderful explanation! Ich möchte zu wissen, wenn Sie die Whatsapp Gruppe haben. Danke!

[@TheZakev]

For me is easier to say; Wir ham ihn nit geseh'n .

[@RishiRajxtrim]

[@manuelocana8074]

mit dem -> mim st du -> ste haben -> habm haben Sie -> hamse habe einen -> hab nen ehen -> en jetzt -> jetz bist -> bis ist -> is nichts -> nix

[@derstille463]

[@mustafa_33501]

[@teppichverkaufer9047]

Ich sag „mir ham ihn nich gseng“.

[@victorakandu9419]

Das ist nicht so gut.

[@mfst100]
