[@-RXB-]

As someone trying to learn german, it felt great to realize I could just close my eyes, listen and actually understand everything you said/everything you talked about. Despite not understanding every single word I never found myself lost or confused about what you were saying which feels like a (for me) major milestone, which is very motivating for me in that it feels like I'm actually getting somewhere. Your story also is very motivating, that it absolutely can be possible in shorter timespans if one only puts the time in. Thanks!

Wie lange übst du schon deutsch?

[@-RXB-]

@@allinwarda5894 Not very long, I learnt a little bit in school but very little, just like Jay said in the video I just wasn't very interested for some reason. For maybe 1-2 years now I've just made the habit of looking up german words that seem recurrent in the language that I don't understand. And I keep doing that until they kind of stick. I sometimes try to listen to german media of different sorts, podcasts etc. Even though it's often very tiring for me (kind of exhausting for the brain), sometimes I understand most of what's being said and sometimes I almost don't understand anything at all. Now I've only just started using duolingo and have practised a little bit every day the past week or so. The more I learn the more motivated I seem to get which is nice. Also I'm from Sweden and know english fluently which I feel has given me a sort of head start, since german is a language that's a little bit inbetween english and swedish.

[@tahirrizwan6759]

As a Dutch speaker that speaks German fluently, the way your sentences flow is incredibly impressive. Also the fact that you put a random “ja” as a filler word shows that you’re comfortable. Of course over time your accent will improve, but it sounds kinda nice tbh, it has something of a historic German-American feel to it. Think Pennsylvanian Dutch. My advice it to listen to natural spoken German in street interviews and consume youth related YT channels and news like DW Deutsch to build up vocab! You’re amazing.

It's all about the motivation. If your life depends on it, you can learn in a quick time.

[@joseph3225]

You need to find a different method. It also helps a great deal to listen to German music, watch German shows, and listen to German videos especially in subjects you are interested in. If you can it also helps to find a German friend. I haven’t quite reached the point I can construct many sentences in German but I have been studying for less than a month and I already know probably about a few hundred words and am learning many new words everyday, still have to work on my word endings and when to use Die, Der, Das. You may have already found a method right for you since this comment comes a year later.

[@CaptainMalick998]

@@frogGames true, it’s also about how you spend your time. I took a few months of German a few years ago, and I’ve kept it up by habitually translating random things to German (signs, my thoughts, things in text friends, etc).

So i waiting for a Germankurs, that's not a soon....and i just make a decision to learn German language herself. Your video, your experience gives me biiig motivation. Thank you so much and good luck to improve your German more and more and more!

[@zyso]

Wow, as a german I can confirm that your pronounciation is really good. Especially the "r" sounds like you're from bavaria. Hope you still have a lot of fun w german. Viel Glück auf deinem Weg!

[@MisfitMewsStudios]

i started learning german last month because we had a foreign exchange student that had come from germany. i’ve been using duolingo and practicing as much as i can, and you’ve really inspired me! the only issue i have is that i have a southern accent, and so it makes pronouncing words difficult for me. today i managed to have a conversation with the guy talking about my cats, and he pointed out i accidentally referred to my tomcats as ‘feminine male cats’ lmfao. to be honest, i think german is a little easier than spanish, which really motivates me to continue practicing.

I’m in the same boat!

I watched this video a couple years ago and was only reading the subtitles. Now I can understand what you’re saying or read the subtitles and think in my head what I would say in German and it’s mostly the same as what you say. It’s hard to feel proud of my own progress because it has been so slow over years but it’s finally at a tipping point where I feel that I can do something with this language now. I went to school up to B1.1 and hope to continue again when I have time. Thanks for this video.

I'm 48 Northern Irish born and raised . Though I now live and work in England . Your experience has further inspired me . I have always been fascinated by multilingual people their fluid ability to switch between languages. So mid September2021 I finally chose Deutsch als meine erste zweite sprache ! You have totally inspired me that I will get there with persistent effort. Subscribed 100% Best of luck to you leben und lernen in Deutschland !

[@letifleury]

this was a super cool video!! im learning german and lately ive been kinda down abt learning it bc its been so difficult but now i feel rly inspired and also! i could actually understand most of the video!!! thank u for sharing ur experience with us :)

[@moritz5895]

Das Ding ist, dass ich glaube, dass man in jeder Sprache besser abschneiden kann, wenn man sie so oft wie möglich spricht und somit die Sprachgewohnheiten der Muttersprachler unterbewusst übernimmt. Erst dann wenn es einen interessiert kann man Rechtschreibung lernen, im deutschen verwirrt die Grammatik nur zu sehr, sodass sich falsche Gewohnheiten entwickeln. Ich hab englisch auch nur durch sprechen, englische KZbinr und Serien erst richtig gelernt.

[@karlderkastn7012]

"face-to-face" heißt auf deutsch "Angesicht zu Angesicht" But I think it is not really used anymore. But everyone would understand. Great video :) EDIT: Oh, I think the best way to say "talk to people face-to-face" is "mit Leuten persönlich sprechen". Keep rocking!

[@dobbydobeedoooo9040]

This is a motivational for me to study more and work hard .. I have just a few month left to move to Germany for my study..wish me luck

[@alejandrorodriguez7681]

Awesome, this motivates me to continue with my learning journey.

[@dan-white]

Hey Jay 👋 just wanted to say a huge thank you for making this video and pointing me in the direction of Italki. I’ve been searching for a German teacher for ages and I’m now 4 session in and learning a lot as I aim for my B1. All the best, Dan 👍

[@deutschmitpurple2918]

I hope you can reach your goals what you want, my friend. I believe in you. I am proud of you. Good luck in your life

[@outlucked]

Very impressive for 6 months. You have your reason and your motivation. Keep listening and reading a lot, look up grammar occasionally and everything will fall into place automatically eventually.

[@GermanWithJay]

Thanks, will do 😀👍

[@bigmanchungie8685]

idk why but seeing someone from northern ireland doing/ learning cool things is always inspiring for me, probably cause we are a bit irrelevant in geopolitics or something like that but yeah, currently trying to learn Russian now thanks to you

[@andongrejas]

Stu(dying) Deutsch right now. I‘m still on my 2nd week of A1 Classes and I‘m thinking of giving up. But seeing this video inspired me. You got a new subscriber. Thanks a lot, Jay!

[@JorgeKassange-zv1bs]

Herlichen Danke! Ich fangen an Deutsch zu lernen. Dieses Video war fur mich eine Motivation.

[@bg6188]

Danke fürs Video. Ich bin Deutschlehrer und unterrichte auch EaZ. Ich habe Spanisch in der Schule gelernt, aber Deutsch als ich in Österreich gewohnt habe. Ich verstehe genau wie du die Motivation ausgesucht hast. Gut gemacht. Ich hoffe, es geht Dir auch heutzutage gut.

[@GermanWithJay]

Danke schön!

[@behl5749]

Deine Antwort klingt nach Google, aber nicht nach Deutschlehrer.

[@bg6188]

@@behl5749 Unmöglich. Google kann nicht von Englisch zu Deutsch im Perfekt übersetzen. Aber danke.

[@placid_danik8030]

Hey man. It's great progress for 6 months. Hoffentlich wird dein Video auch andere motivieren ihre Deutschkenntnisse zu verbessern. Jeder kann es schaffen. Viel Glück wünsche ich dir! Abboniert.

[@GermanWithJay]

Vielen Dank Daniyar! Ja hoffentlich 😀🇩🇪

[@buseulker6766]

This video is so motivating for me, thank you so much

[@kirbycobain1845]

Im not confident enough to comment in german, but the fact that i was able to follow the story (while multitasking!) gives me so much hope. I took 3 years of german in high school in the US, which isnt exactly known for teaching foreign language effectively. The content was very limited, but i did have the privilege of being taught by a native speaker. I tried maintaining and improving it on Duolingo for awhile and got close to maybe B1, but i haven't touched german in over 5 years since there isn't really any german speaking community here. I just got back on Duolingo to get started again (i know its not sufficient, but im in school full time and working part time), and im genuinely motivated to move forward. Not feeling any pressure to learn is surprisingly helpful. Thank you for sharing your story!

[@CorgiBurgi]

Danke fürs Teilen. Dieses Video hat mich sehr motiviert. Ich habe 2019 ein Jahr an der Universität Bonn ausgetauscht. Ich habe mich sehr für Deutsch interessiert, deshalb habe ich 6 Monate lang Deutsch gelernt und das B1-Niveau erreicht. Jetzt bin ich in China, aber ich lerne immer noch wie du. Ich werde also dieses Jahr meinen B2-Test von Goethe machen.

[@thesnep4757]

German is a language I've had an interest in for a while now, but other than Duolingo, I have no real idea how to learn it. It's nice that just listening to this video and reading the subtitles, I am able to understand some words and sentences from what little German I have taught myself on and off over the years.

[@InterventionZ5]

listening to this is so impressive and motivating. great job, really

[@bogdanpali]

Mate, I find your video very helpful because I recently moved to Germany, without knowing the language (ja, ich bin verrückt 😅) and it is freaking hard to find a job here. I have a Batchelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering too and I am attending a Deutschkurs since September. Even though I have 1.5 years of experience working in the field, I get rejected everywhere I apply for a job 😂. It's hard, but I bet, after my german improves I'll succeed. Ich wünsche allen, die Deutsch lernen, alles Gute! 😁

[@Abenahh]

I hope you have a job now

[@zeelowsguys]

Your accent sounds perfect. I am still working on my German, it takes time. I was in Germany in 2019 and my friends girlfriend couldn’t speak English so I was forced to speak the language. By the end I was able to speak and understand a lot more in just 3 weeks. Viel Gruß aus Nue Seeland ❤

[@ImNeutral_editz]

As a swiss i must say your german is really good 👏

[@natalfonso6031]

Wow I am shoked hahaha you are like a man version of me! Hahhaha Ich habe auch Machinenbau studiert, tatsächlich bekome ich meine Abchluss in eine Woche und ich möchte in Deutschland arbeiten un Leben. Ich komme aus Kolumbien und habe gerade dein KZbin Kanal gefunden und du hast mich viel mehr motiviert, mit Deutsch weiterzumachen. Thanks a lot! Edit: You have already made a video about the camp I am seeing it right now hahhaa thanks!

[@GermanWithJay]

Danke Nat! 😀 Viel Glück mit Deutsch 🇩🇪 I'm glad I could give you some motivation. Best of luck with your studies 🍀

[@heleneelinor]

Wow, that‘s amazing! Dein Deutsch ist echt richtig gut! (Coming from a German) I’m trying to learn Japanese right now, hahah, please give me some of that quick progress 🤪 Also: I get that loss of motivation from language lessons in school. 😅 It’s so much more fun now that I’m doing it for myself and I know what I’m doing it for!

[@GermanWithJay]

Vielen Dank! 😀 All the best with learning Japanese 🇯🇵 Yeah it's so much more fun learning it in the comfort of your own home. Keep at it and I'm sure you'll see good progress 📈

[@Afternoonsun-c9y]

Try Japanese pop songs.

[@ManuelPersona24]

Ich möchte unbedingt auch noch Japanisch lernen. Ich werde dich mal anschreiben 😊

[@mirfalltkeinnameein3489]

Dann viel Glück dabei Japanisch zu lernen. Kann tatsächlich bisschen Japanisch.😍

[@deutschmitpurple2918]

Very great, my friend. I am proud of you. Your message motivate and inspire me

[@madokachan7193]

I’ve been learning German FOR 3 YEARS AND I DON’T KNOW ANYTHING, AND NOW YOU’RE TELLING ME THAT YOU LEARNED IT IN 6 MONTHS.... I’m hopeless

[@Kojitsu]

You probably know more than you think. You can work through text and audio to gain more understanding. KZbin is a great source of content to immerse in. Once the understanding is there you just need to practice speaking with somebody (or practice thinking out loud).

[@suzijw825]

Me too😁😁

[@salomeyul]

It's all about the method, not so much about how long you've been studying

[@pilo2263]

It’s all about method, focus, will and organization. I took 2 years to be able to maintain conversation, but I only had two classes per week.

[@Commentator541]

Mariana Julve Definitely how much you study. I only had half an hour to an hour available a day, not even every day, and given how I had no weekends I barely learned anything over the last two years.

[@vitalisanekwe203]

Ich lerne deutsch wahrscheinlich seit vier Wochen und es gefällt mir wie viele ich habe verstanden. Ungefähr Siebzehnprozentig Ich macht wirklich progress. Sehr Danker für Ihren Mut und Ihre Selbsbestimmtheit. Es ist schon eine Motivation für mich.
