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 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.

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.

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.

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….

Keep the trials and tribulations to yourself and we’ll all be fine thanks very much. I think you’ll agree, if you’re any way levelheaded, that there’s a big difference between a country and one’s own house - but I respect your patriotism (I’m a bit of a patriot too, I understand your frustration) However, in this day and age I think that can be a selfish way of thinking, especially with everything going on that I need not mention. 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. It just so happens that your country and my country are some of the better options (in the bigger picture of things, you’ll see that this is true)

@@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.😁😄
