Hi, I'm Uyen Ninh but please just call me Uyen!
I moved from Vietnam to Germany 3 years ago for studying. I make silly videos about how Germany looks like through the eyes of a Vietnamese student - on my way to be your favourite Ausländer! :D

[@kakou2003]

Learning another language is tricky enough when it has the same basics as your own but going from Vietnamese to German.... I am in awe of you.

[@serenityssolace]

When we have true love for motivation, nothing is impossible

[@idontreallylikelongnames]

Thanks to the internet i learned English and because i learned English it's easier for me to learn German (same language group). And scince my native language is Ukrainian I'm familiar with genders and cases (nom, akk...). So I'm very lucky. Can't imagine how hard this new language system is for native English speakers (why should table have a gender, right? 😂) and for Vietnamese i bet it's also really hard (I'm not familiar with this language, would be nice to know if it has any similarities with the ones i know)

[@SeventhEve]

@@idontreallylikelongnames As an English speaker, I'm familiar with gendered nouns from languages more commonly taught in the US (Spanish, French, Italian, etc). That part doesn't confuse me. Although remembering which ones are which... is another story. In Spanish at least nouns often have a or o at the end which signals gender. Your English is perfect by the way! Impressive learning it from the internet, but I suppose it must be something of a necessity because of how ubiquitous it is.

[@patheticallyy]

Well... she clearly knew/knows English as well..its not like she went straight from Vietnamese to german..? Lol

[@xy-qy2yg]

Dutch speaker here that was used to nominativ/dativ/etc. because of Latin, still horrible memories of German in high school

[@micbln8967]

Oh thank you for bringing your older content to youtube, nice for us old-fashioned-just-youtube-users :)

[@uyenninh]

My pleasure! 😂

[@wanraitelli]

Girl I soo relate to all these struggles! Came to Germany five years ago with no german knowledge and it's been a ride. Aber keine Sorge, wir schaffen das! 💛✨Liebe Grüße

I believe in you. Hope you´re feeling comfortable in our weird little country ^^

[@veryyin87]

That dream about speaking a language you are learning fluently, I have had that multiple times, kinda feels the same as a flying dream.

[@JamesBitcoinMaster001]

Yes

[@downlord7530]

I love your great illustration of your struggles learning german. And your boyfriend is right: every time you say your own name you produce the correct sound for ü at the beginning. :) Du schaffst das schon, viel Erfolg! :)

[@tarasensei]

What a great compilation. The comparisons between Vietnamese, English and German are my fav.

[@MariaVargas-tp5oc]

I worked for more than 1 year with Vietnamese and I must say that this language seems to me to be one of the most complicated I have heard in my life, and having very different phonetics from Slavic languages, I have to congratulate you on the tremendous effort that learning German must entail 👏👏👏👏👏

[@mln7771]

Whoa! Congratulations on your 1M subscribers! Keep up your good work and thank you for providing entertaining content.

[@Awoop_jumpscareee]

Congrats on 1M Uyen and enjoy your gold play button!!

[@niayeshfendreski2396]

Oh, I loved it, especially the fact, that for the last four years, I was also going through all this or better said, still going! It was hilarious to see how you mentioned many points and made them funny :) good job! One point was when my husband and I used to start a conversation in Deutsch and at the beginning I was so proud of myself and 2 minutes later, I was just literally leaving the room, when he started to continue the conversation in Deutsch :D

[@Sorrely1]

I started visiting family in Germany 40 years ago. I can successfully order a coffee and a piece of cake now !

[@ShadeScarecrow]

Id say you have the important stuff covered ^^

[@teyataom]

😂😂😂😂😂

[@HweeTengLee]

I love this! I've watched all the shorts but having them altogether is a fantastic idea!

[@Siegorius]

I'm convinced the german language will eventually become one really long word.

[@ember1794]

😂😅

[@judyperri9496]

I worked in radiology for most of my life In surgery they use a plate to stabilize fractures It’s usually just called an AO plate I was curious to what AO was an abbreviation for-Arbeitsgemeisnschaft für Osteosynesesfragen 😳😳😳😳That’s the longest words I learned in my six years of studying German

[@maythelightshineinallsystems]

Hey Uyen, Congratulations to 1 M!!!

[@phoenixdavida8987]

​@@uyenninhheck yeah, even though it was 3 weeks ago! great achievement, really.

[@1gx619]

My wife is Mexican and I’m American. It’s amazing how I understand her when she’s talking to me but I cannot for the life of me understand Spanish language television! I guess when you truly love someone you will understand them no matter what.

[@justhello4577]

That's really cool, you've got a point too

[@Amblin80s]

She loves you, so she speaks more slowly and clearly so you can understand her

[@xy-qy2yg]

It depends on the shows, I understand my boyfriend and his family (and most friends) just fine (Ecuador) but Spanish tv from Spain is sooooo difficult to follow

[@SuperDebyO]

Your bit in the bread shop is exactly how I was in a bakery in a German speaking swiss one. I started off trying to communicate in German, she replied in English, then she thought, ok she wants to dialogue in German, so she switched & I then couldn’t understand! 😂😂 . I gave up & asked her to repeat that in English please. Swiss German is even more confusing than regular German too!

[@willhelme2408]

Haha don’t be frustrated, even for me as native german speaker it’s super hard to understand Swiss German 😅

[@lena_roblox1]

[@makenawatkins]

Me as a native English speaker relearning Spanish to talk to my father’s family: “This is easy. I could learn any language.” The Chinese woman I started seeing: “I will break you linguistically.”

[@Claudia-u4z9p]

Hattest du schon mal Individualunterricht in Präsenz? Es gibt so viele fantastische, kreative Lehrer*innen. Wichtig ist, dass die Lehrkraft einen Abschluss in Deutsch als Fremdsprache bzw. zumindest Germanistik studiert und viel Erfahrung und Leidenschaft für den Unterricht hat. Dein Freund sollte nur noch Deutsch mit dir sprechen. Deutsch ist neben Englisch und Spanisch für mich die allerschönste Sprache und die Grammatik ist einfach verrückt und spannend: High-Tech auf wackligem Untergrund (der das, die). Weiterhin viel Glück. Freue mich schon auf dein erstes Video nur in Deutsch! Ich liiiiiiebe deine Videos!

[@lauren9667]

I studied German from the sixth grade into my junior year of college and I still always had a dictionary with me. You are a star! Hysterical, too. 🙂 🇻🇳 🇩🇪

Im learning Chinese Mandarin and use tones like Vietnamese. It's so different to English, but makes sense. Especially with the limited vowel/consonant combinations, though not sure if Vietnamese is similar!

[@johanneshalberstadt3663]

In Berlin I think they wouldn't say "Viertel drei". That's more of a southern German thing. The rest of Germany says "Viertel nach drei" und "Viertel vor drei". Which should also be understood everywhere.

[@raempftl]

It’s a southern and eastern German thing. I think it was initially just southern German but in the east it also spread north.

[@varana]

Not sure about West Berlin. But basically the whole East of Germany says "viertel drei". And also "dreiviertel drei".

[@jennthya6982]

I was going say the same. I'm from the north western coast of Germany and we definitely say, " Viertel nach" & "Viertel vor".

[@elijahh2220]

Ah man, the name bit reminded me of my cousin and his wife. She's from India and Urdu is her native language. During a holiday with a bunch of the family there, they were discussing (good-naturedly) how they constantly mispronounced each others' names, resulting in one of them -- I don't remember who -- asking "wait, what's your name again?" lmao

[@snips501st]

The one with the du bist is so relatable as a highschool student lol

[@sarahwilliams6488]

Love your humour, the are so much fun!

[@STOPLIKEBEGGARS101]

As a Swede, I totally agree with the Germans about that being half four. You're half way on your way to four. Obviously.

[@MarzipanCat.]

0:17 is honestly my biggest issue. The other day, my Korean teacher gently remarked that I never speak Korean, and I told him I don't like doing it because I can't speak Korean. He just looked at me, let that sit in the air for a few seconds and then asked: "So what are you gonna do about it?"

[@Pourmesomecoffee-zq3dy]

Heute lerne ich Deutsch auch. Ich finde das Reihenfolge das Wörter am schwierigsten (und der/die/das zu erinnern)

Das sind zwei Dinge, die mit der Zeit immer einfacher werden. Halte durch und bleib immer am Ball!

[@STOPLIKEBEGGARS101]

Lately my interest in languages, both my native and others, and how they've evolved and differ has grown a lot. Too bad that didn't happen when I learned French in school. But I guess KZbin plays a part in that, it wasn't around during my school days. Better late than never, I suppose, and turn to my Duolingo app.

[@kleckskind]

Well, ü,ä and ö are difficult to pronounce... but it was a really sweet clip! XD

'BOCKWURST er glücklich' = True Love 😆🤘😎🤗 !!

[@silkekonig-bar7291]

had english in school for 7 years, read literature like "brave new world" and other classic books, only learning thze necessary vocabulary used in the chapter, never learned to talk in it or write freely. this all came about 20 years after school while reading newspaper and books (Thank you so much, Terry Pratchett!!) and listening to youtube clips of viva la dirt league. Now i think i'm pretty fluent (reading it), but i need about 5 to 10 minutes to adjust to the speaker to propperly understand them. not to mention: fo i learned english through reading, my pronounciation is HORRIBLE!!!! Kansas - AR-Kansas instead of Kansas - Arkinsaw etc

Bockwurst er glücklich 🤣 so funny. thanks for this compilation. Macht sehr viel Spaß. I learned a few languages and had tandem partners from Korea and Japan, so I can relate to lots of this. you can really get lots of germans to dispair with their own Konjunktiv 2 though (myself included). ich backe - ich büke.

How I felt learning german as an English speaker in New Zealand

[@dontknowdocare]

I have relatives who've lived in Germany for decades and still have trouble with all the Konjunktivsätze which confuses people because they sound 100% German otherwise.

[@wilsonhuang7289]

who doesn’t love it when uyen posts a video 👇

[@ninjabgwriter]

I'm learning Norwegian, which has a few words similar to German, but also a ton different. I'm used to three thirty is 'half past three', but in Norwegian (like in German) it's 'halv fire' aka 'half four'. It's hard to remember! There's also many words that sound similar to English, but many that are super different too. My mom was learning too and I think she was surprised when it started being less analogous because most of our early lessons sounded nearly like English. Also those sounds that aren't in your native language are really difficult! I'm doing ok with the Norwegian 'R' but I'm certain I'm doing the sound at the end of 'takk' or 'melk' wrong. I'm making the English 'ch' sound, but I don't think that's right, but I don't have anyone to speak to so it's the closest I'm going to get for now.

[@PinHeadSupliciumwtf]

Viertel Drei makes sense in relation to halb Drei and dreiviertel Drei.

[@edus82]

This was a blast! 😂

[@olympiaade]

Uyen, indeed there is a region in Germany where people also use the word "Cucumber" for "Gurke". You'll find this dialect in southwest Germany around Karlsruhe. I am waiting for your first clip completely in German!

England makes fun of "Sie" (which litterally isn't a problem since the verb makes it unambiguous). Also England uses the why for weshalb, wieso, warum und weswegen.

1:42 at least you didn't say "bin" 😂 I don't know if Goethe was gay and I don't care. But I know that: Egal wie dicht du bist, Goethe war Dichter. (BF will explain, I guess...) Hochzeit meaning 1 = wedding Hochzeit meaning 2, also called Blütezeit (literal "flowering time"), also called Höhepunkt (climax, NO, NOT the sexual one) = heyday Herzlichen Glückwunsch zu ersten Million🍻🎉🎊

[@gerarddearie-zd2gb]

Actually, the German way of doing number order works in English, too (British and American). It's just very, old fashioned. We also have mpolite/impolite forms of address just like German-"you/you/yours" is polite and "thou, thee, thy/thine" is the impolite, which nobody uses...because it sounds old-fashioned, unless you're from Yorkshire.

We also say Viertel drei for 2.15 in Eastern Austria.

[@feedthemonkey83]

The clock is usually called by its Number 3:25 = 3 Uhr 25. Half, quarter to etc. is not very common anymore. Yes it can be used, but when I say ... "Es ist viertel 3 (2:15)" most people wont understand it even they are native.

[@lucieirl]

Slightly different but it’s confusing when ur name is used as an example in language!! In English as kids we’re taught ‘I before E except after C except for some words!’ and I remember being about 6 and really confused because my name is Lucie not Luice. 😂 Had no clue how to use the rule so I wrote stuff like reicept /reicpe for a few months lol

[@vampire4312]

When the german "ch" and "ä, ö, ü" trouble you, be glad you're learning "just" standard-german and not swiss-german. 😃 Kukumber is correct too - admitted, it's not very common in standard-german, but in a lot of german dialects, people also use/know "Kukumber" for "Gurke". Numbers can be somewhat strange in german - but not nearly as strange as in french: 99 -> EN: Ninety-nine, DE: Neun-und-Neunzig (Nine-and-Ninety), French: Quatre-vingt-dix-neuf (four-twenty-ten-nine)

[@thhseeking]

In Belgian French (and I think Swiss French) 99 is Nonante-neuf :P And 79 is Septante-neuf.

[@vampire4312]

@@thhseeking Yes, in Swiss-French too. - But the French-French way of counting the 70-90ies is ... special ... let's call it special.

1:03 "It's literally in your name" 😂 We once had an American exchange student in our company and this came up: _"I can't pronounce the German Z-sound.

Koko kokkoko kokoon? Koko kokko kokoon. It's a dialogue: A: Put together the whole bonfire. B: The whole bonfire? A: The whole bonfire.
