Tip 8: Use Google Translate. Tip 9: Brush up on your German before you move to Germany. Tip 10: Don't back down.

I've been in Germany for a while now. You are so right, in order to learn German you need to insist on speaking German. Many Germans speak flawless English and will want to speak to you in English. I learned that if you continue to answer in german they will get the hint and then speak to you in German. You need to have the courage to sound like a fool in order to learn German. Like you, I have discovered that Germans are very nice in helping you along as you struggle through German as they are the first to admit that German is "Deutsche Sprache, Schwere Sprache."

The last point can't be stressed enough. Always remember that everyone of us has learned a language before, our native language. We don't remember this, but watching and listening to little kids can teach you how to learn a language the fastest way. Little kids learn to speak a language by listening, imitating and repeating. When they learn for the first time about grammar, or properly reading/writing for that matter, in school, how old are kids? 6 years? 7 years? At this point children can already speak conversational fluent and never learned about grammar or sentence structures in their lives. Until this point, kids never think about making mistakes, pronouncing words wrong, worry about a wrong sentence structure or using the wrong tense. As adults we lose this ability of innocence. We worry so much about embarrassing ourselves and think more about the mistakes we could make, instead to focus on just using the language and be happy that we can communicate and by doing so constantly improving our language skills. Other people don't look at others and make fun of them if they mispronounce words or using wrong grammar, usually they are impressed that this person has the courage to learn a different language. Also never forget, especially if you are an American or from any other English speaking country learning German, that Germans learn another language, usually English, in school mandatorily, so the vast majority of Germans (with an age of ~50yrs and below) know exactly how hard it is to learn a new language and this is why they are so supportive. /end wall of text

I'm traveling to Germany next summer and I'm determined to learn the basics. I don't particularly worry about feeling shy. I grew up in Miami where there's a lot of Latin and Haitian immigrants. I know it's never occurred to me that someone trying to speak English sounds silly, so why would anyone think I sound silly speaking German. It's obviously not my native language. I did the first couple sections of the SmarterGerman free trial and Michael is way too confusing. He doesn't even seem to know how to use his own program. I'll give Babbel a try.

Great video! Can I add a tip? One of the things that helped me get started was to learn German in Switzerland from a Swiss person. The Swiss don't take German so seriously and so they'll just get you speaking rather than worrying about the complexities that the German language has. To quote my teacher, the "Germans will hate it, but they will understand you, and you'll be able to have a conversation."

Agreed. The Swiss all learn High German in school and they will often be happy to speak to you in High German, rather than switching to English in a condescending way, like many Germans do. I learned German in school then had Swiss friends I could speak German with. They will all switch to High German when they know you are a foreigner, although they use some Swiss German expressions.

Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential

I'm only 12 days in and I have started on Duolingo and write words and phrases down in german and their meaning and rules next to them. I'd say the hardest part is how fast words are said together sometimes that you almost don't catch it in German until it is spoken slower. I'm sure us native English speakers do this to others as well. And I'd say wanting to know so much and only being able to learn so quickly and retain it makes it a bit challenging.

This is so funny. I stumbled upon your videos because youtube suggested them to me. I am actually German but fluent in English and whenever someone asks me how I got so good at it I usually suggest the exact same things you did but just the other way round. Especially the movie and TV show watching. I always tell them to watch movies or shows they already know and watch them in English with English subtitles so they can hear the sound of the words they read and hear them in a context they are normally used in . It's pretty awesome to know that it works the other way round as well. I am currently watching all your videos because even being German there's one or two things even I can learn ;) Plus I think it's important to be open and know what expats or people from other countries in general are struggling with so it's easier to help. Keep doing what you're doing! It's pretty awesome!

Two more traditional and substantial German language learning systems come from the companies Pimsleur (American) and Assimil (French). Pimsleur is preferable before Assimil because it concentrates on practical pronunciation and speaking throughout the course. Assimil does pronunciation, too, but goes into more depth about the grammar and the contexts of the language in various situations. Both systems are portable, and have many dozens of lessons that can provide months, even years, of continuing instruction. Both are recommended.

Great comments! They apply to learning any language actually. I moved to Sweden from Chicago in 1992. I had the good fortune to take a beginner level Swedish class at a local university before I left for one term. It was enough to learn basic survival skills when I got here. I would add one more tip. I'm certain the same thing exists in most countries. In the book stores here, one can purchase storybooks for young children that are just learning to read. They come in all levels from beginner and onward. They are well illustrated to go along with the texts, and it's a great way to learn basic vocabulary as well as to learn sentence structure.

Update: I just got to the course where this is addressed. It all gets explained so if you have this worry, just know that it’s valid, but just keep going. I think they just try to get you speaking asap and then explain the more difficult concepts later. I’m much happier with the course now. I hope they expand it. Just so people know, the German on Duolingo is not always correct German. They simplify concepts so they don’t have to explain difficult grammar. For example, they teach treffen, where sich treffen is supposed to be used. It’s weird cause they don’t do the same in the Spanish course, for example. Just something I noticed having previously had proficiency in German and using DL to brush back up.

As an german native, i think that your tips are really helpful.I am not a fan of helene fischer myself, but she sings all the words very clearly, so its a good opportunity to learn germany. I can also rly recommend to just set your Netflix to german. I did it myself (with english of course, to improve that) i think it helps much.Also: if your not really familiar with german, but want to go here, you dont have to be scared.A big amount of germans speak English.Also for any germany travels: inform yourself before travelling here.A lot of things are different here compared to America

Hallo Jenna, ich habe heute durch einen Zufall Deinen Kanal entdeckt und habe mir ein paar Videos angesehen. Dann habe ich sie an meinen Schwager weitergeleitet, weil es viele Parallelen zu Deiner Geschichte gibt. Mein Schwager ist aus Joburg SA und hat meine Schwägerin (Deutsche aus Leipzig/ Zwillingsschwester meiner Frau) in Kapstadt kennengelernt. Sie haben viele Jahre in Südafrika gelebt und geheiratet. Nach der Geburt des Sohnes sind sie vor ca. 5 Jahren zu uns nach Düsseldorf gezogen, wo die Tochter geboren wurde.

I think to make friends in Germany is more difficult than to learn German language 😂 and most Germans that I talked to agreed with me on that, one couple even saying to me that if not for their kids (being 'friends' with the parents) that they probably wouldn't have many friends, even though they are Germans themselves.

Also I can confirm your hint, to watch TV and movies in the language, you'd like to learn. My english has improved, since I started watching TV series in english. Funny, one of my favourite series is TBBT as well. (And to be honest, I can't stand the German synchronization of this series.)

I 've been learning German for almost a year.From the very beginning,what I found the most difficult was the awkward syntax and sentence structure related to other languages eg.English.I think that when the learner reaches to the a2 level in German (having the basic grammar and vocabulary),it's certain that simple texts' comprehension will be a piece of cake for him/her.The most difficult part is certainly speaking especially if you don't have any speaking partner to speak with.I would like to thank you for your tips! I try to do what you have recommended expecting to improve my German as fast as possible!

One reason most Germans speak a decent English is the fact that we don‘t have the easy option to switch to our native language when it gets too difficult in English….. Fight through it and you will be surprised how far you can get… As a kid we were on holiday in France. Our car broke down an my father managed to get all the tools from a French guy and none of the two spoke the language of the other one, let alone English….

My country undoubtedly hosts many good folks from your country and most of us don’t complain - why?? because we’re good workers, good people who appreciate good workers and good people. Yet nagging eejits like yourself will complain the minute you get treated badly for visiting our country. Imagine that! 😮 This woman is trying to educate folks to make that transition easier so belligerent fellows like yourself might be a bit more tolerant towards capable working people that are simply trying to find a more fulfilling life.

@@kmet4640 spot on, I agree but how are the hard working/honest ones supposed to live a relatively normal life if we don’t have any other options? In the UK and Ireland the rates of homelessness are gone through the roof, and our youths are doomed unless they want to work in a bank or live with their parents for most of their lives. My point being, that most of our people are resorting to alternative options regardless of what the government and high corporations tell them. My family considered moving to Germany many years ago, we didn’t, but we saw great value in how people lived in your country and how everything was done right in terms of engineering and housing - it was enough to make us consider. The same with my own country - people admitted life was better when they reached our shores. Ultimately the big reason why my own country is fucked is because of those billionaire pricks you mentioned. It’s futile and it seems even the strongest countries have problems in regard to this issue too. I’ve developed a socialist attitude toward this topic, but my main issue is when people come into our countries and take up space without actually doing anything productive

What confuses me a lot in learning German is the spelling at times & when to write a word in a capital letter (the 1st letter). Some of their nouns confuse me a lot as in English, those words are not supposed to be written in capital letter or ain't a noun at all. So, yea, that's the challenge to me... I also felt a bit frightened or shy speaking German in the grocery or bakery store when I was in Austria. The good thing was the staff won't answer you in English, so, I was kinda like forced to speak in Deutsch, & that way, my speaking skill was practiced.😁😄
