Hey Yohanes! I’m genuinely impressed by your expertise in teaching German! 🌟 Your tips are incredibly insightful, and I’m excited to apply them to my learning process. I’m curious, which of these tips do you think has the biggest impact on mastering German genders effectively? Thank you so much for responding to my previous comment. I implemented your advice, and it has been extremely helpful. You’ve literally changed my life, and I’d love to share my story with you-it’s something I think will make you happy. I’ve already sent you a DM, and the picture is the same as the one I use on KZbin. Is there a way to get more details about your services?

Maybe you want to learn German because you want to challenge yourself 😛

As a German I truely feel sorry for this. The fastest way to learn German is to totally ignore genders and accept to say the wrong gender. You will be understood anyways. Wasting time with genders will reduce your pace of learning German by at least 60%.

Yeah I also mentioned that in the last tip: it’s better to use the wrong gender rather than say nothing at all. I think it all depends on our goal. If the goal is to reach (almost) native level fluency, using the right gender is of course needed. But I get your point! 😁

@@Parlertoutseul I am in my 40s now - native German through and through- and just recently I realized that I mis-gendered the word "Das Sieb" my entire life. I always said "Der Sieb". Noone noticed, noone cared, noone ever told me, haha.

It must be funny when you finally realized that. I had a colleague who didn't know that there are der Schild and das Schild and he was like.. "what???" It was funny. :D
