I spent 2 years at Flugplatz Ramstein in the late 70s, 76-78 I absolutely love the country, my 3 years of high school German helped a lot Granted I did make a few mistakes but was never criticized for them I remember once at A Gasthaus in Kaiserslautern an elderly couple asked to share my table and we had a rather nice conversation, even with my errors

This is a great video! Thanks for making it so concise and focused! I'd like to kindly ask to keep to native pronunciations when doing these demos as it is confusing to people new to the language to to hear things pronounced differently

"Wie bitte?" is more polite than "Was?" or "Hä?"

Comment from : @nattviolin9855

I’m very fortunate I got to learn a little of the language in college I still remember common phrases but sentences still throw me off lol Became friends with a girl who was visiting my class from Salzburg, Austria and struck up a conversation using both English and German words to help each other along It’s amazing how much the mind retains a language early in life compared to older ages when it somewhat closes
Comment from : @Arientis

Good luk both of you

Comment from : @anacorona2527

I love both of you I'm so glad and have no words to express my happiness for both of you I'm happy myself that I just met you today on YouTube while I was scrolling through YouTube about the German language I wish you both success in your hard work Especially for me, your combination is so valuable and makes it easy to understand your conversations In truth, both of you are so valuable for people who are eager to absorb and foster languages, especially German for me I love your teaching method It's so unique, and once more, I love your combination I love studying with you I will keep you updated on my German language progress May Jesus Christ bless you!

Very nice video , but slow and clear speaking of German language would be very helpful for new learners
Comment from : @hafizhammadahmed6077

So helpful! Thank you!
Comment from : @ThePcroy

I appreciate learning the way locals speak vs the formal way, and having a non-fluent speaker in the video made it more realistic It helped distinguish between the fluent and not so fluent way, and it shows that one doesn't need to be perfect to be understood AND thank you for necessary phrases These apps waste time with words I won't need any time soon* Well done!brbr*PS one of the first words duolingo taught me was "bear" and used "you are a bear", while Memrise taught me "apart from that" 😑
Comment from : @mamemu3130

Comment from : @coop1311

Danke
Comment from : @frenchpoulet

Both of you look so uncomfortable in front of the camera The look to each other every 5 seconds for I guess reassurance? It gets better till the end but the beginning will stop a lot of people from watching further Try to pick up the atmosphere from the last minutes, both of you look way more relaxed and stop overthinking Best of luck, and I take a Schnitzel too! With Spargel (asparagus) and sauce hollondaise
Comment from : @markomuller9045

Comment from : @bellejoyce9728

I thought when Germans counted they put their thumbs up for eins?
Comment from : @elshaddai87

I spent last weekend in Cologne and for a few weeks before that has been using this to learn a bit of German Limited success, particularly as I came accross so many English speakers so it sort of undermined my attempts Still frequently used bitte, danke and Tschuss and ich spreche keine Deutsch Also got a 'Wunderbar' from a lady who asked me to take a photo which I quite liked

Go ahead ! Ihrer Deutschkurs ist toll fur Anfanger TSCHUSS !
Comment from : @faredinshehu8652

As a note to any language learning, it really benefits you to listen to what is ACTUALLY being said than just saying what your hear For example, I'm American and have been in Germany for one week I've noticed though that there is a huge difference between the way the German is saying "ich" and the American that is saying "itch" or "ish" Listen to the German The "ch" is more like a cat hiss sound in the back of the throat than an English "ch" sound or the "sh" I sometimes heard from herbrbrIt's not easy to do without a lot of practice and muscle memory I'm just saying it helps to actively listen for those details (Like the "oo" sound versus ü, which is more like an "ee" sound but with round lips This is very common in European languages so it helps to hear the difference, even if you can't pull it off when you speak)
Comment from : @JayM928

How about "Ein bier bitte"😅
Comment from : @ambu6478

Is you in German dir or du
Comment from : @erenvalley

His English is fantastic She seems really sweet but, as a German-American, when I hear the "WWII Dictator" stereotypical voice while trying to speak German, it's honestly a little offensive, like, the low-hanging fruit My family doesn't sound like that at all Or, listen to a band like Juli, the German is beautiful
Comment from : @ronineditor9920

Danke schön
Comment from : @aashchMastermind

Danke schön, ich bin jetzt Deutsch lernen denn ich möchte Deutchland besuchen irgendwann malbrbr"irgendwann mal" is a new one for me Deutch ist nicht meine muttersprachebrbrAs for other useful phrases: Es tut mir leid (formal) sorry (informal) brI have been learning German on a daily basis for 1 2/3 years on my own and have never visited Germany so I am not fully sure sometimes

Great video, but why does Deana seem to try to scream a german word? Watch too many war movies? just saying 🙂
Comment from : @kaivonneu-lich6327

There are other articles in German ( - der" "die," and "das" are definite articlesbr- "ein" "eine," einen " are indefinite articles"den" "dem" Are definite articles ("den" is used in the accusative,and "dem" Use in the dative case) German is not as easy as you think! German is a very, very difficult language)
Comment from : @Kimchandragon

My Girlfriend ( Melanie ) was born in Fulda in 1980 and came to the US with her mother when she was very young She refused to teach me how to speak German She said "she forgot" HOW do you FORGET to speak the language of your MOTHER ! ? I think she was somehow self conscious or embarrassed I would imitate her mother's German accent and it would drive her ( my girlfriend ) crazy ! I met her when I was 34 and she was 19 She just passed away from brain cancer the last week of June 2023 I never got a chance to go to Germany with her It's something I wanted to do with her when I retired We were together for 23 and a half years

Attention: "I am full" could be understood/translated as "I am drunken" in a certain context So better avoid this when someone offers alcoholic beverages 😄😄
