Dutch grammar is hard for me because I thinks it's similar to German but sometimes it isn't. But I hope to be better in September. I still want to learn frysk but books and courses are hard too find and I just don't have the time for a 6 weeks course in Groningen.

Learning a language is so funny because you thought 'manifestieren' was a word you made up but it's actually the right word :D we know so much more than we give ourselves credit for

[@leoleiii]

"Manifestieren" is actually the correct translation of "to manifest", so great job!!

[@yolamoondaughter4660]

So funny that most times you laughed because a word sounded made-up it was actually completely right and idiomatic!!! English and German are more similar than you think

Ich schaue dieses Video gerade, während ich am Küchentisch sitze und Kartoffeln schäle und muss dabei so viel lachen - so sympathisch und eine wirklich tolle Leistung! Als Muttersprachler denkt man selten darüber nach, wie es ist, seine Sprache zu lernen. Aber ich kann mir vorstellen, dass Deutsch nicht gerade leicht zu lernen ist. Also nochmal Kompliment für das, was ihr schon alles gelernt habt! 👏👏

Jade, I just finished A Level German and it really nice to see people on the same language learning journey as me. You have improved so much in your German Jade, keep it up 👍. The work for business is Beschäftigung, I think 🇩🇪.

[@pia5543]

Beschäftigung is not really used in day to day speech. Its rather: Arbeit or Job for occupation. So its like: ich hätte gerne Erfolg "auf der Arbeit"/ "in meinem Job" or if you are generellay speaking and want to say sucess in your profession you say: ich hätte gerne erfolg in meinem Beruf. If its his own brand/buisness: ich hätte gerne Erfolg mit meinem Unternehmen(buisness)/ meiner Marke (brand). Hope thats not too confusing god😣 😵

[@pia5543]

Oh and erfolg in meiner karriere is good too!!

[@lolamaria2255]

3:17 manifestieren is actually the correct word! So your instinct was completely right, good job:) Jade, I`m so so impressed withn your german, it`s so good already!! Love from Munich:)

Hello I'm Dinesh I'm from India can we be friends 😊if you want

[@Ushgulubululum]

Ich glaube sie meinten was man erreichen will im Leben . Manifestieren hat eine andere Bedeutung

[@florentine_krgr]

As a German, I don't even get the verbs at the end of the sentence right all the time because I use so many subordinate clauses that I don't remember where I started sometimes! We call these unnecessarily complicated sentences, that could have easily been split into two or more seperate sentences "Bandwurmsätze" btw:)

[@jjoou]

This is just so adorable and warms my heart. Your joy and kindheartedness shines through even in another language.

[@phoenixmoondancer9265]

Had me giggling at the notion that "nett" is a very passive agressive word in German :) My German teacher (at school) used to say that "gut" and "nett" did not count as proper adjectives (e.g. when giving feedback) and she outright used them as polite insults (very British of her, come to think of it). Es ist schön zu sehen, wie Ihr Euch zusammen ammüsieren könnt! I was raised and educated in Germany, but my family is English, so I've been surrounded by Germans learning one of my native languages all my life. It was a funny experience hearing you guys speak German- the flip side of the coin so to say. Eine meiner Gewohnheiten ist es, mitten in einer "Erzählung" die Sprache zu wechslen. Es ist häufig ein einziges Chaos ;D Blimey this has turned into something resembling a diary entry... Alles Liebe from a London Girl living in Northern Germany xx

[@mateaap]

Jade this is so inspirational to watch and a nice psychology game to escape into another language and culture. It has been scientifically proven that practicing another language contributes to the health of our brains ( better memory, concentration, more solutions/ideas) and keeps us safe from the Alzheimer desease. What is more, the more you put yourself out there and out of your comfort zone in order to learn German (or any other language) the more doors of other peoples lives, friendships, worlds are there waiting to be opened for you. I would love to see more of your german videos.❤

[@carlottau3802]

this is the funniest thing i watched all week! it´s so motivating to see how much fun you guys have with learning a new language. I love it!

[@RobertHeslop]

Aw Jade, this was so interesting to watch! I feel like you'd both learn Dutch really well now with English being the native language, you'd have the base underneath of German, and then Dutch would just slot in naturally. Perhaps you and Folk could make that like a 60 day challenge? (video idea). Linguists do say our closest language is Frisian, and there's a few words we have in Geordie that are from old maritime Dutch sailors, like keek from kijken ✨

i had this video randomly in my recommended section and it ended up taking me a fat minute to realize that it was filmed in my hometown. It was really enjoyable to watch something so familiar through the eyes of someone who's perceiving it for the first time. That combined with the fact that I live in Berlin now really puts things into perspective and made me realize what I had and took for granted my whole life so thank you for your video jade I will definitely subscribe and keep watching

[@joanakulper6589]

I loved it so much to listen to you and Folkert talking in German - I usually also develop a block at the beginning of learning a language, but listening to you both was so wholesome! But I also see how important it is to find people you feel comfortable to talk with in the new language, so you can get over the things holding you back. (especially with German uff, I can imagine why people struggle with my language, would have struggled so much with the grammar if it wouldn't have been my native tongue)

Hey Jade, very inspiring video. I have also learned german through Lingoda, I think now is Lingoni and they have special offers now but back in 2018 or 2019 I have watched almost all Speak with Jenny videos and now since 2 years and a half I live bot far from Berlin people always get schocked how I learned german or when I say that I live ehre since two years a half, even though I have to admit I never had the motivation and time to make a progress I learned afterwards only though conversations with people but I'm being inspired from you to start again with online classes. Can imagine that you will be very fluently very soon, can't believe that you understand and speak already quite good. Impressive!

[@gweisa899]

This is great to see. I done immersion language program for Chinese at Middlebury Language School for 2 months at the end was advance beginner so A2 level in conversation. Also, lost some my English too doing the program. Inspire people to keep learning and speaking.. Also, just finish 9 months in Taiwan learning Mandarin now B1-B2 level conversation. I will continue reviewing and learning back home.

Both of you delivered a nice good German conversation. One tip for both of you: when you use verbs describing movements (e.g. to swim, to walk, ...) use "sein" instead of "haben". Example: "wir sind geschwommen" or "wir sind spazieren gegangen". So, don't say, "wir haben geschwommen". That's not entirely correct. Say, "wir sind geschwommen".

Erstmal, ich bedanke mich, dass du, Jade und dein Bruder vor der Kamera das ganzes Gespräch so offen gestellt und für uns veröffentlicht habt. Obwohl nicht alle Plurals und Verbkonjugationen richtig waren, macht es gar nicht. Wichtig ist es aber viel viel sprechen, wie du auch erwähnt hast. Ich lebe auch in Ausland gerade, in Wien, und als ungarischer Muttersprachler, kann ich bestätigen, auf Deutsch ist nicht einfach lange Sätze zusammenzubauen. Andererseits ist es mir aufgefallen, dass die Ähnlichkeit zwischen deiner Bruder und dir, sehr erkennbar ist (Gesicht und Nase auf jeden Fall). Vielen herzlichen Dank für dein Content, ich wünsche dir viel positive Erfahrungen mit der anderen Sprachen auch und ein Abo von mir ist hier! :)

When I moved to Germany at the age of 11 years I learnt the language from TV for the most part, that was before internet existed tho. Most of the things you think are ridiculous to say and laugh at are actually not wrong. For example, “Abendbrot” is a synonym for “Abendessen” aka dinner and something that is in the air, yes we say that in Germany too.

[@florentinezeig]
