Think you can't speak German? Here's 10 German words you ALREADY know!

[@asteria6437]

English isn't a language, it is 3 languages on top of each other wearing a trench coat

[@Anne-id2zt]

I love how in englisch the plural of doppelgänger is doppelgängers and not just doppelgänger. It always freaks me out. Same with Poltergeists instead of Poltergeister.

[@stamat1a]

Literally me with the way English people spell or pronounce Greek words

[@emily1celebfan]

Love how Eve uses “beer garden” to describe a garden and not just you know the actual garden outside your house 👀🍻😂 (perhaps it’s called a lawn in England tho!!)

[@gingercanoe2621]

Btw we say Rucksack in German too, without the ü it’s basically the direct translation to backpack

[@yttrase6181]

As someone who's been learning german for a while now, I'm laughing at how I never realized some of these words were German xd

[@bishalsaha9471]

Most of us didn't ig🤣🤣

[@lisasjournal]

Really 😂

[@doloresumbridge7982]

Tbh Wanderlust is not really used in germany, you would rather say “Fernweh“ (literally distance pain/ache), the desire to be somewhere else

[@Anne-id2zt]

I still use Wanderlust when I want to convince my friends to a hiking trip on the weekend. But I love puns, and that's why I use it.

[@doloresumbridge7982]

@@Anne-id2zt Makes sense, would be a nice way to annoy my friends a little :)

[@RachelMurphyArt]

Also the two of Santa's reindeers are called Donder and Blitzen which are the words for thunder and lightening in German. That's also where the German word for Thursday comes from "Donnerstag" which means thunder day (roughly translated). This also gives the English name to Thursday - which is "Thor's day" in old English. As Thor was the Norse God of thunder and lightning, this is where the German word comes from.

[@RachelMurphyArt]

@TheRenaissanceman65 Typo 🤦

[@elinakristin8085]

Funny enough, we don't really say "Wanderlust" in German but "Fernweh" :p

[@randomgirl-zi8le]

This was so interesting! One for Spanish and/or french would be great :)

[@litstudyvlogs6554]

Yaas, I love this. I'm learning German on Duolingo and this gave me motivation to not lose my streak.

[@lisi_daube1388]

So fun to watch as a native German 😅

[@operettablack8072]

what about poltergeist, spiel and bildungsroman? i mostly enjoy bildungsroman, because non-german speaking people pronounce it in such a cute way :)

[@13renschi]

Above in german means über not uber. Different pronounciation and uber isnt really a word. we use it like everyone else only for the taxi service

[@sreenivasandayanandan4326]

And I am sure holly gabrielle would pay a visit here because she is learning german right.

[@User-bd9kc]

Could you do a video on when to use Die, Der and Das

[@carlabottazzi]

when the word is feminine: die, masculine: der, neutral: das :)

[@sreenivasandayanandan4326]

I want to be a polyglot and. I know this would help. ❤️

[@rondoflicflac]

Great video Eveeeee!!

[@cz2143]

tbh I don't even know all the ten words. But it's so fun and thanks for sharing!

[@lilysmith7759]

Do you have any tips for avoiding a language plateau? I don’t know if you’ve ever had this but I feel like I know quite a bit of French and Spanish (I studied them for A level) but I feel stuck like I can’t make huge leaps in language learning anymore and I can’t make good progress to my goal of fluency... Love your videos 💜

[@philippaettrick7012]

Not Eve, but I would recommend chatting to a native speaker!

[@ambertasniem7245]

Hey, also not Eve but I have a couple of tips: 1. Watch as much TV and films in your target language as you can! You can start off with subtitles in you native language, switch to subtitles in the target language and then without subtitles entirely. It’s super satisfying to finally realise how much you’ve progressed when you understand almost everything! 2. Try to travel to a place where the language is spoken, if possible for a month or longer (when it’s safe again, of course). It’s amazing how fast you’ll progress when you finally have the opportunity to practice the language daily, and in my experience everything just kind of ‘clicks’ and you speak a lot more fluently. Hope this helps!

[@carlabottazzi]

At first you only notice the things you're able to say and as you get more fluent you start to only notice the mistakes. That plateau might only be in your mind! I'd also recommend watching tons of yt videos and series, etc. in the language you want to learn. Mucho ánimo con el español! :)

[@duam7860]

I would recommend an app called hello talk . Basically you can speak to natives- you can teach them English and you can learn their language. Hope that helps

[@duam7860]

Amber Tasniem I agree

[@davidsweeney111]

Out of all the uni-vloggers, Eve is the top vlogger, she is great!

[@danielaortiz9178]

Ooh interesting- cause of the show Dark I just started doing German on Duolingo- quarantine skills!

[@Sofia-ht6kn]

As a native German speaker you’re here like: Oh, I didn’t realise these were used in English; I know more English than I thought😄. (And not realising this the other way around, in the way the video is aiming to)

[@faithmathis5211]

More commonly used is now BACKPACK. Cute Video 💞ed

[@hele1458]

haha it's so funny to watch this video as a german native speaker

[@LeahRebecca]

i need to brush up on gcse german😭

[@rezavanderlinden9611]

Now you also know a Dutch word! Because angst is also used in The Netherlands.

[@philippaettrick7012]

I thought I'd already know these, but I never realised "angst" or "wanderlust" were German!

[@avadavies240]

like kinder bueno 😂😂

[@Randomgirl866]

I’ve always wondered why it’s called hamburger because there’s no ham on it😂

[@stamat1a]

The origin of Angst is greek! It may be Latin too

[@Italianrockgirl]

I‘m going to take an educated guess and assume this video is not for me - a half-german, that was born in germany and lives there 😅

[@bishalsaha9471]

Love u eveeeeee🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰tyyyyy🤩🤩🤗🤗

[@broculee5218]

so the german Doppelgänger has an english doppelganger?
