ZU oder UM ... ZU? 🧐 A great HACK! 😎

For a lot of German learners it is sometimes confusing and not easy to decide when to use "zu" and when to use "um ... zu". In this video we want to give you a great hack which we actually found on Emanuel's blog yourdailygerman.com/. With two simple questions you can figure out which one to use. In the bonus tip at the end you will also learn about the difference between "um...zu" and "damit" and in which situation you can NOT use both.

Don't you have B1 Online classes. I want to be your student. Wie viel kostet es, B1 zu lernen?

[@winniekong4506]

You are really a wonderful teacher. I don't understand why you don't get at least 1 million more subscribers.

[@sarojbhatt2049]

Hallo luzi ich bin großes fan von. ich wohne in indien .ich bin 11 jahre alt .ich lerne deutsch von deine videos.Ich lerne gerade A1.Und ich lerne so viel von deinen Videos

[@yashbhagat6998]

Sir please bring more videos on b1.1 and b1.2 grammar + vocabulary and its exam preparation as i wanted to clear the b1 level exam. I will be waiting for it. I love your way of teaching. Danke 😊

[@Loty2023]

Very kind of you to share with us an interesting blog you found. ❤

[@tahaahmedqidwai9245]

Being an International student here in Germany, and always motivating me to learn something new related to German Language. You are truly making best videos with simplest and easiest understandable videos. Highly appreciated.

[@yourgermanteacher]

Best of luck!

[@jackverum9551]

true

[@frauanndirr15]

You are correct. Vocabulary is very important. I finished up to B2 level, but I forgot many Vocabularies after the Deutschkurs 😊

[@urvakshshroff2798]

Hey Luzi, vielen Dank. Meine Verständnis des Themas hat wirklich verbessert.

[@aureyherrera7273]

You are the REAL german teacher! Thanks a lot!

[@dexterreyes9372]

Der Satz "in order to" ist sehr hilfreich. Ich bin immer mit um...zu verwirrt weil ich keine Idee habe, das richtig zu benutzen. Ihre Erklärung hat es ganz klarer für mich gemacht. Genau, ich stimme zu dass Wiederholung sehr wichtig ist. Ich wiederhole immer. Beispiel: Ich schreibe auf Deutsch, um mein Deutsch zu verbessern.

[@cutting-edgehub5360]

This video has really reduced a lot of pain....Thanks a lot 🤩🤩🤩

[@raeconnelly]

Great advice at 5:00 on learning vocabulary alongside learning grammar. I find myself in the position he describes right now.

[@PatrickMcF]

OMG Please, please, please more like this. When you take away the memorization of endless words in any aspect of language learning, the students will always respond with greater enthusiasm to learn to context of the lesson. We have an expression which explains this philosophy. "Why bark, when you have a dog?" 'Necessity is the mother of invention' also comes to mind. Basically we humans are lazy or intelligent , depends on your POV. Want to find the quickest and easiest way to accomplish something? Ask a lazy person. I digress, Thank you for this and my head also says thank you. You have made this fun now. I feel like someone who has been using a fork to put sugar in my coffee and you have just given me a spoon! ❤❤❤

[@yourgermanteacher]

[@Derevocsidi]

@@yourgermanteacher hey can you make a video about using Doch? I'm not talking about those yes or no answers where we use doch. *I'm talking about making sentences like* : Wenn ich doch reich wäre Hätte ich dir doch nichts gesagt Can you help me out by making a video about that.

[@Alex051993]

I learned that if you have 2 different subjects in the Hauptsatz and Nebensatz then you must use Damit, not um...zu.

[@Yazoon_S]

Now the question is when to use "Um" by itself 💀 Many thanks for your great video, you are an amazing teacher ❤

[@yourgermanteacher]

Thank you! 😃

[@yourgermanteacher]

Um is used with time: Um 19 Uhr…

[@Yazoon_S]

​@@yourgermanteacher Ich muss um 14 Uhr studieren great to know it's usage! Many thanks again ^_^

[@sarah-louisesnodin6014]

You hit the nail on the head with vocab.. I forget to review it regularly ... is there a lust from a2 to b2 ? I can then make sentances from them and remeber better😂

[@yourgermanteacher]

You have our A1.1 course... too easy right... but our complete A2 course will come later this year. There you will have the entire vocabulary 😉 We don't have B1 and B1 lists yet though.

The first time I could figure it out!

[@darklight5316]

Hi mygermanteacher i have a question. In a sentance can only a person be in the dative or can a thing also be in dative like in the sentance Machst du ein nickerchen oder suchst du deinen pass. Shouldnt the pass be in the dative?

[@elenesidamonidze1521]
