The fact that I’m a fluent German speaker and listening to this is so weird! Bravo Jack, you did well! ❤ - I’m happy to finally see an English-speaking KZbinr speaking at least a little bit of a foreign language - in this case German! 😂

[@okk-k7i]

As a German (and a fan), I really enjoyed this video! I can understand that you have problems with grammar, its always difficult to learn a new language, but you did very well tbh

[@SuperWojtek64]

12:36 exactly so here are my tips as fellow german: pronounce "Z" like a "ts", a "Ö" like a "O" but if you'd slightly vomit while saying it, "ch" similar to a "sh" in english but softer and simply lower the tip of your tongue, an "e" is often pronouced like you (with your northern english dialect) pronounce the "ai" in Spain

[@Orincaby]

"ch" sound is closer to the first consonant of "hue" - it's like a palatal fricative produced half way back in the mouth

[@SuperWojtek64]

​@@OrincabyStimmt

I'm learning italian in Duolingo, and on about day 300 it taught me the word "E-Mail" 💀 Also I am a German speaker, and you are pronouncing it perfectly according to what Duolingo is teaching you. For some reason it seems like Duolingo chose one specific German accent, and turned it up to 11. While it is true that many germans can't really pronounce "ch", Duolingo turns it up to 11 and just straight up turns it into a "sch". Many germans that can't really pronounce the "ch" say it as kind of a mix between "ch" and "sch". But like I said for some reason Duolingo just straight up turns it into a "sch".

I also do German on Duolingo and have a streak of just over 1000 days but I also learn German outside of Duolingo so I'm much further on in the course. I found this really interesting to see how much you were able to learn (vocab/grammar) just through using Duolingo. And don't worry about finding some things like gender of nouns difficult, German can be a difficult language!

[@Luuuuuuuuf]

I‘m happy it is my first language because english was easy to learn and I already know german

[@FlyingNote]

So far, I have been learning Japanese with Duolingo (and other sources) for 3 years, but only last year did it become a huge thing in my life, my current streak is 574 (45-60 mins per day ALWAYS). Jack’s 1,000 day streak is an incredible feat, but the true determiner of language proficiency is motivation. Jack clearly ran out of motivation, but had a great run nevertheless.

[@oliverczako258]

20:36 I can really relate with this, because I live in Slovakia, but I am Hungarian, so I'v been learning Slovakian since I was a little kid. Slovakian also has these Feminine Masculine and neutral things, and it makes NO SENSE! I mean only Masuline has the option to write (only write, if u are speaking its the same) someone is living or not. For example you have to write Man and Man (dead) differently. If you accidentaly put an i instead of a y, ongrats hes now dead, you killed him, Oh and the same thing applies for the feminine and Neutral, but its not about living or not, Its about plural or not, so its really fricking easy to mess it up. And there are some words that are "exeptions" FOR NO REASON, for these words some rules of grammar simply DONT APPLY. Sorry I just have enough of this... Please send help.

[@wasikancb]

18:22 Freundin can mean Girlfriend, but it can also just mean female friend. It doesn't specify if you're in a relationship or not. It's actually a bit confusing in German in my opinion as a native speaker. There are a few weird situations where you have to specify because there's not really a distinction between a male friend and a boyfriend or a female friend and a girlfriend like in English. It's all just "Freund" or "Freundin".

[@its_nat]

As someone who understands some German this was pretty fun, especially hearing Jack's pronunciation 😄 I'm not German or anything, but in Norway you have to learn either German, Spanish or French in school so.....

Your guess "Gute Besserung" for "Take care" was quite good, considering "take care" is translated as "pass auf dich auf" and not "alles Gute," which translates to "all the best" in English. 😄 Keep it uuuup! 🇩🇪🙌

Hello David S.

[@SpeitoianMapping]

I done German for a couple hundred days

[@wasikancb]

I don't blame you on the timed wordpair maching lessons. I'm a native German speaker and am fluent in English, and I just tried the one on the first unit in the English course (Didn't want to start a German course just for testing. Had the English one already) and I didn't even get one star on the first try. It's basically almost impossible to get 3 stars without buying the time boosts. I started on duolingo with the english (german) course years ago but pretty much never did it. I recently just skipped everything and completed it because why not. I now do the Japanese (English) course and the "only doing 2 minutes every day after the motivation dies down" is really relatable. I'm just doing the kanji practice because it's quick and I don't necessarily need sound so I can do it wherever, just to keep my 564 day streak going.

I reached 1000 days (88 days ago), but I'm really bad at sticking to one thing, so I have a few languages under my belt (as in, chose a new one every time I got bored 😅), although I'm obviously nowhere near fluent in any of them. I'd say I could survive in the countries that speak said languages and maybe engage in basic conversation, but that's about it.

It used to be that you'd use the masculine as the general word for both, but recently theres a movement to say bith when referring to a group, for example in a letter to teachers or when talking about a group of people in the news, to be more inclusive. Not everyone is doing it and there some universities where its mandatory and some where its forbidden. Its a big mess and im so envious of English for not having grammatical gender
