How to Become Fluent in German in 3 Months

[@PetraBotekova]

Thanks for watching! Are you learning German or do you want to learn it? What's keeping you from achieving your goals?

[@soumadip_skyy_banerjee]

Guten Tag ma'am! Great fan of ur channel! I'm a final year COMPUTER SCIENCE Engineering student from Kolkata, India. I learnt some German last year.. Nu , ich spreche ein bisschen Deutsch.. Nur ein bisschen! But I'm again working on my german now.. It has always been my dream to work in Innsbruck, Vienna or Salzburg.. Vielgefruftes Österreich!.. I have a couple of questions.. 1)Do I need some kind of certification to prove my German proficiency? Or my self learning and practical knowledge is ok, just mentioning it in my CV/RESUME???.. 2)What are ur suggestions for students like me? Or what should I do at this stage of my life apart from increasing my academic skills, so that I can work in Austria somehow? 3)Do the tech companies hire freshers? or is it easy to get a job in Österreich after my degree/graduation?.. I'd really appreciate if u answer my questions or make a video on it! Danke Sehr! ♥ :)

Disgusting marketing and type click bait. You learned German for 7 years and then you said it’s possible to be fluent in 3 months. Ridiculous

[@LONNESYRUPBITCH]

This must be a coincidence! I'm from the US, my parents are Slovakian and I'm learning German as a 3rd language in school! I soeak it for 3 years but our public education system isn't the best so I didn't learn much of it... But my desire for learning German is still as fierce as in the beginning! Thank you for useful tips! Love from Boston :)

I don't even have to watch the video..but you can't get fluent in 3 months. It took me 1,5 year and NOW I feel I am flunt in german.

[@arthurfisher7198]

What was your learning schedule like? I know the video isn’t true because I’ve been learning for over 3 months already and I’m not fluent, i was just curious what she was gonna say. Like how many hours per day and how many days per week?

[@danielthemaniel7934]

Its definitely possible to become fluent in 3 months. It's not easy, but it's possible. Military linguist enlistees have to become fluent in 6 weeks. Yes they study 8 hours a day and take very specific courses, but I know first hand that it's possible (not that I've been in the military. My mother was a Naval Crypological Linguist. She learned fluent russian in 6 weeks)

The language learning process has been very hectic for me I'm going to tell you the methods I tried, Please tell me which ones should i modify or stop doing and some extra tips also 1. Reading I read short stories in my target language first I skim read and record myself while I'm at it, then I mark new vocab/sentences and study them 2. Speaking I don't have anyone to talk to in my target language So I pick up simple topics from the internet and try to talk about it. (but, I always translate in English & think too much of sentence structure and false grammar) 3.watching tv shows I watch Netflix shows in my target language with both subtitles (English + target language) The chrome extension "Language reactor" helps me with this This extension automatically pauses the video on one scene which in turn helps me to read & listen to my target language But this is a very slow process. It took me two weeks to finish 1episode 4. pictures I try not to use English instead I use pictures ex: for cat -> I would use a picture of a cat but for words like so, also, but.... -> how will i find pictures for that 5. grammar I just mug it up I have a grammar book which is both in my target language and in English I don't wanna learn a language by translating or thinking in English. I want it to be natural. thank you for your tips and suggestions xxx

[@amnahzia980]

I am already learning german in my graduation but beside that I still need some extra help to learn the language.

[@muhammadismail4774]

My plan is to start with practice reading German without mistakes . Then , practice reading novels or and texting in German out loud with translation to improve speaking and vocabulary at the same time. This is also helpful to speak correctly . I am also trying to add listening module into the mix by watching any familiar show that I have already seen, in German.

You don't become fluent in German in 3 months. Thats a lie.

[@lel2012]

U don't have to crush our dreams like that 😅

[@infernogamers168]

Stimmt

[@StuJones-gn7te]

Sie haben recht! You are correct. I spent almost 9 years in Germany and only became truly fluent in the last year or two. In the interests of full disclosure, the period ran from mid 1983 to the end of 1996, included 2 fairly long periods away from Germany and, in the early days, I wasnt all that interested in becoming fluent. During my final 4 1/2 years there, I worked in factories and other menial labor jobs. In addition, I also became somewhat conversant with the local dialect called "Oberpfaelzisch" in German and "Upper Palatinian" in English. I have not gone back since the end of 1996, but a recent online test indicated that I am still fluent (at least in reading and hearing). Though my Oberpfaelzisch needs work. My guess is, even with total immersion, virtually no one becomes fluent in German in under 2-3 years.

[@michaelgrabner8977]

Well just with learning phrases you won´t get fluent because what will you do when the response of that recited phrase is either way to detailed or totally different than what you have expected? And I will guarantee that will be the case in at least 8 out of 10 verbal interactions..Then you will definitively understand literally nothing when you just know phrases. That´s a safe bet.. You need at least grammar basics and a little pool of vocabulary to start with = which are taught in A1 german classes..then you can start with learning phrases (which you do starting with anyway in A1 german classes but simultanously while learning the grammar basics and vocabulary and pronunciation)...and in order to get - then - fluent as you said "speak, speak, speak" with natives. And usually after just 3 months for the most part you are just able to speak like a kindergarten child...to be honest. I would say if you are hardworking then you need at least 6 months to get fairly fluent by speaking very simplistic but fairly grammatically decent German when you totally start from scratch.

[@brendon2462]

The truth is we learn from massive input. Which is obviously phrases. When we are kids growing up. What do you think our parents and everyone else around us are saying? Phrases, We become fluent through learning phrases. Grammar is already there. We pick it up indirectly and automatically. As we absorb and aquire how to say things. Even if we don't realize it we are learning grammar indirectly and passively. Then everything eventually becomes second nature. Without even thinking about it. You have to listen to learn. So eventually you will understand everything you hear being said to you. Once you have built up enough vocabulary. How something is said in different ways. Won't result in you not understanding it. Because you know all the words and contexts.

[@michaelgrabner8977]

@@brendon2462 Do you have any idea of the German language? Your comment says "No, not at all" Nobody gets fluent in German by just learning phrases...especially not in 3 months. And your "how kids learn a language" explaination is irrelevant because they don´t learn their native language in 3 months either ..not in english and not in german... they need years and with 6 they are sent in school....also for years to become decent eloquent...in english and in german as well. by the way regarding to vocabulary...for most of the english words there are multiple different german translations, in some cases 20 till 30 different expressions but the avarage is round about 10 because german is way way more precise in expressing things than english and choosing then the wrong translation the sentence will loose its sense, that is why english natives find it hard to learn german in the first place vocabularywise.....and the grammar is different as well..the syntax is totally different and in german the nouns are gendered in either male/female/neuter so the pronouns as well..in english everything is just "the" which makes english grammarwise "easy" to learn..not to mention the german gender-based 4 cases (Nominativ,Gentiv, Dativ, Akkusativ) for nouns to build a sentence which makes it even more complicated in comparision to english.

[@brendon2462]

@@michaelgrabner8977 I know, I'm currently learning German. I don't find it that difficult. No one really remembers anything from school regarding grammar. It's extremely boring to children and teens. Sure they might pick up a little bit through exposure. But kids are most likely not paying attention to it. Whatever they do learn is quickly forgotten. I don't know any grammar rules or explanations. When it comes to my native language english. Yet somehow I'm able to speak it really well. That's because of massive input and expose. It's not because of learning grammar in school. I know grammar through input and exposure to the spoken language. I just learn everything with the gender. Also I learn vocabulary in context. It's kind of easy just listen to natives. That's how you learn to speak correctly. Eventually you get a natural intuitive feel for what's correct. And a feel for the language in general. Given time you'll be forming sentences on your own. Obviously it takes time much longer than three months. If a german says wo ist das auto? I just learned how to correctly say where is the car. I learned four new words. How to say that specific thing. Was mochtest du essen? Ich würde gerne chineschich essen. I can learn to say something simple like that. Simply by listening to natives. The grammar is automatically being picked up. Also vocabulary, pronunciation, exc. Lots of people become fluent. Through just massive input. Exposure is the biggest thing.

[@michaelgrabner8977]

@@brendon2462 Your examples are "simplistc phrases"..but what will you understand when the answer to your phrases isn´t simplistic at all? By the way "mochtest" isn´t right..it is "möchtest" with ö...."mochtest" is subjunctively past tense and has therefore a different meaning literally asking "What would you liked to eat" respectively in meaning "What was you used to like to eat" And the natural answer to "Was mochtest du essen" would be asking "Wann und Wo??" (When and where?) to get a context. See..even by using simplistic german you are saying different things than you wanted to say..

[@brendon2462]

@@michaelgrabner8977 I know I forgot the umlaute o but I know what I meant to say. Any German speaker would know what I said. When and where? My example was simple. Well, to be fair the topic of food is simple. It doesn't matter what they respond with. As long as you have thousands of hours of exposure via input. You should be able to understand everything. I also use a natural srs. Part of learning and getting good is making mistakes. I'm not afraid to make them. That's how you improve and get better. Kids are not afraid of mistakes. I knew my o was incorrect. But I didn't want to fix it. I didn't say anything different than I wanted to say. I pronounce the word möchtest correctly in speach but wrote it wrong. So it would be understood. As what do you want to eat? If I asked someone. Ich würde gerne...... is a natural response. The when is obvious right now. Because I asked them right now. The where is easy as well. People just complicate things too much. A writing mistake doesn't equate to a mistake in speech. They're two different skills. I focus on speech not writing. I can form more complex sentences as well. I've been learning for quite some time now.

[@manojrawat5045]

Sie haben eine schön lächen

[@cckiller4378]

A little late but: Du hast ein schönes Lächeln There's no need to say "Sie", it's a polite form that's usually only used when talking to your superiors like your boss or a teacher, except if you use it like saying "her", same with "Ihre" or "Ihr", difference is that you usually write the polite forms with a capital letter and the others without one. Also, the grammar was off a bit, but I think every native speaker would understand what you meant with it thought. I think you also mixed up two different sentences "Du hast ein schönes Lächeln"(Telling it to her herself) and "Sie hat ein schönes Lächeln" (Telling someone else that she has a nice smile)
