I was so nervous, haha. Thank you for the great talk and I can't wait to upload the video where I asked you questions from my community!

[@whhhattevveerr]

Your english is excellent!! I'm at a low intermediate level in German. I'm almost finished reading my first novel in German. I will check out your channel.

[@Eric-le3uu]

You were great!

"Du hast mich gefragt und ich hab nicht gesagt !" With this sentence and "danke", I can survive in Germany at least for a month.;)

I’ve been following you since 2013

15:34 Exactly. I'm from Poland and my German Ancestors motivate me to learn German. I found them back to 1500s.

As a Canadian now living in Germany and “trying” to learn the language this was good motivation. I am a person who always asks why (warum) and with the grammar it has held me back a little. But your statement the brain will figure it out is correct. I may not be able to get the words out of my mouth yet but I can now pick out an incorrect sentence or paragraph when reading or writing. I can also now think my statements, at least in my mind, more in German. I’m thinking the voice thing will eventually follow. So it’s all about patience.

When I was learning German, I also used to write a lot of text in German so that I could get a hang of the grammatical rules which are quite complicated in German.

[@EasyFinnish]

Awesome guys! It's absolutely amazing to watch these videos and interviews.

[@TiffanyHallmark]

Ich mag Get Germanized. Dieses Video ist sehr gut. Vielen dank

Hi from a polyglot teacher from Macau who will learn German in a year, and now I can use your advice to learn German with Netflix when I get a basic intermedia level! :)

[@Thelinguist]

First try our mini-stories at LingQ. My wife was born in Macau.

[@0101799]

@@Thelinguist Wow! Your wife should be really proud of you!!! Instead, my boyfriend never wanted to learn Cantonese because I can speak Portuguese like a native, so he thinks that it's not necessary for him to learn the language. Well, really proud of you, Steve!

[@DongoBongKong]

Looking great, Steve!

Nice content

[@The_Lord_Of_Confusion]

if you are talking about WHY to learn a language (any one for that matter) - I like to think of a blank map, whe all the states are just white and only those whose language you kow are in colour, for me it´s how big the world is you want to live in. Yes, english now (as was french before and say latin before that) could help you to communicate - but - communication does not mean to live in that world. I come from a small country and I get that question all the time - to the point where it kinda gets really annoying... and I´m surprized how many people just don´t seem to get it. anyway guys - nice content thx

[@diegocallejon9743]

Deutsch ist mehr als ein schöne Sprache, Deutsch ist eine der bedeutendste Sprachen in europäischen Geschichte und es zu beherrschen erlaubt man Europäische Denken zu verstehen. Hegel und Heidegger, sie kümmerten sich für den Geist der Welt, und diese Sorge für was wesentlich ist gibt man ein Bild für was Ewigkeit bedeutet. Ich begrüße ihnen und werde Lingq immer empfehlen!

[@krlezg]

Tienes razon amigo:)

[@alwayslearning7672]

German is an international language 5 countries in Europe use it as their national language.If you speak German & French it open the door to 10 countries and central europe.That's a huge deal.

Well, today I learned that Tokio Hotel is German...

[@michaelrespicio5683]

You should consider doing a video with Aleksi Himself, a Finnish version of the German KZbinr's channel. You once mentioned that we don't forget languages we've learned when learning new ones even though it's actually completely possible the more time goes on without revisiting certain languages. Look at Hebrew - you kind of dabbled in it before abandoning it in favor of Arabic and Persian, contrary to what you said in the previous video about "staying with it". Same with Greek and Serbo-Croatian - learned them specifically for travel, then immediately changed to Arabic and Persian, it's good to stay with languages for some time, but not forever coming from a polyglot like yourself. Now you doing a video with a native German in English...calls your ability to speak German into question, and other languages. The pitiful consequence of leaving past languages that you've left for so long.

Me gustaría aprender alemán , el inglés que hablo es intermedio

[@mrrobertbates]

Estoy aprendiendo español, y estoy feliz a decir que yo entendí lo que dijiste. Inglés es mi lengua primera.

[@latinavenger7472]

Hey Steve! I saw your interview with Dan with whom you talked about learning Japanese and Russian. You said that his English is impressive in the way he uses the words and build his sentences. If you'd compare his "skill" or ablity to speak English, who is performing better? Or sounds better, more natural?

[@Eric-le3uu]

You mean Deni, right?

[@latinavenger7472]

Eric Roberts exactly

[@michaelrespicio5683]

Claiming to speak 20 languages but admitting to not being able to speak them on demand basically proves you're a fraud. Maybe you can understand 20 language to some degree when reading or listening, but if you can't actually speak them on the spot, you can't say in good consciousness that you "speak" them. Uttering 10 words doesn't really count, no matter how good your syntax and grammar.
