    I enjoy learning languages as a hobby while discovering cultures , history . Your approach is fun . I do have a difficult time with sentence structure , articles , prepositions , where to place nicht for examples . And so while also using duolingo , your videos and perhaps others while at the gym and relaxing i learn chunks . I figure repetition will make sense through frustrating times . Keep up the good work Anja and crew .

    I speak Spanish as a native language but can also speak English fluently because I learned it some years ago. The key is to be motivated and really wish for it, being obsessed with the idea. I can remind how overwhelming looked it. I cannot say my English is perfect but for me, the most important is not to sound like a native just that I can express myself. So I wish successful everyone on the way and enjoy the process.🤗💗

    My parents immigrated to the USA from Germany in the 1960s. I was born and raised in the USA. My parents wanted my brother and me to be as Americanized as possible and never really spoke German to us as children. I love them, but I'm so mad at them for their decision to not speak German to us as children when it's easiest to learn a language. I've been to Germany three times and everytime I visited my family there they wanted to practice their English. I'm in my 50s now and I finally want to learn German so I can have a real conversation in German with my parents. I've been watching you on CZcams for about a year now, and I must admit I have a better understanding of German now more than ever. My challange is that I get hung up on the cases and memorizing the gender of a word, which is so important to know to set up a sentence correctly.

    Liebe Anja, I am having a hard time learning Deutsch from one of the most popular Apps.
    I am a dentist, an oral health researcher and now I want to study for my second Masters degree in Public Health from Deutschland. I feel lucky that I have come across your channel and I have never, literally never come across such an engaging video!
    What I am doing is to understand the logic and breakdown long words into smaller chunks trying to figure out the meaning. Also, I always try to learn the article with every noun I come across and write my notes in a word document which may ultimately become a book for the benefit of all!😅).......
    However this video of yours changed my perspective for the better and I'll write while listening to your videos.
    Such a good work!
    Learning is indeed fun and writing even more I believe! 🎉

    I want to learn German because I love how it sounds and when I visit Germany again, I can practice more respect to my German friends by speaking German (at least basic German) instead of just speaking English while visiting Germany. My biggest challenge is certain grammar rules such as the 4 cases, noun declensions, and noun genders (especially the correct article to use for masculine, feminine and neuter and if they're in dative, accusative or genitive cases), both of which hardly exist in English and Chinese that I grew up with.

  • @dng2000
    @dng2000 Před rokem +204

    "1,000 words to understand 50% of conversational German". Oh, Anja, compared to my ancestral language (Chinese) that officially requires memorizing 3,000 characters (equivalent to words) to be considered fluent, I better stop complaining or thinking that German is hard and motivate myself to look forward to understanding at least 50% of conversational German in no time. 😀

    • @dng2000
      @dng2000 Před rokem +10

      @@armandlombard I don't judge any languages by whether they're easy or hard, only by the amount of effort required to become proficient enough to communicate comfortably with native speakers conversationally and in written form. When I used the word "hard" in my earlier comment, I don't mean it's hard to learn although the way I commented is confusing if the context wasn't realized correctly. It's just about devoting more time to learn, absorb and practice German especially when I don't live in a region that has plenty of opportunities to practice speaking German. In my current life for example, after doing my German language exercises and practice, it's all back to English and Chinese (mostly Cantonese, sometimes Mandarin) again because none of my local friends and family members speak German. That's my definition of "hard" when it comes to maintaining what I learned from Anja's German academy. :)

      On my maternal grandfather’s side was German. He was born in America so don’t know how far back his line came from Germany. It sounds interesting. Other places I’m learning to count, colors, haven’t gotten to the alphabet, beginning to learn family member words and I did see an ad in German with family member words that I understood and it seems a little easier than French and Spanish. I seem to like the sound of German. Sentences are a tongue twister but that’ll take a while to get. But I like the sounds.

    Rammstein and my love of their music for many years led me to want to learn to sing their songs, and not only sing them but understand what I was singing. This led to a passion for learning the language itself. Currently at the basics, but I know a ton of their songs by heart and the translation of them, so it's nice that when I'm singing along I'm knowing and picturing what they're saying in German. Learned a lot as a result, now really delving deep into the grammar side of things before improving on my vocabulary. I have a ton to learn.

    I am an older person and am learning German to keep my brain active. I think my greatest problem is my tendency to focus too much on the grammar and trying to get things "right". I also have trouble fitting in the learning with other things I do, so I'm not consistent in my approach. I've finished your A2 course Anja and the supplied resources are very good. I need to get the idea of chunking more firmly fixed in my approach.

    • @anlace3447
      @anlace3447 Před rokem +16

      my advice--- listen a LOT, speak a lot, and ignore the grammar. Only do grammar when you are very advanced. when people focus on grammar too much, their brains think about rules when they try to speak, and this makes it unnatural and slow. remember how your learned your native language...speaking and listening....just do the same. BUT it takes a LONG time and a LOT of repetition.

    I teach German at a homeschool co-op. We meet once a week and parents get the opportunity to expand their homeschool curriculum by utilizing some of the moms that may have talents in areas the parents are not strong in. I have found that the grammar is the part that is the hardest part for me to teach because I am not just teaching German at that point, I am teaching English as well. I am a native speaker as I lived in Germany until I was 11 but I never learned German in a formal setting. I have used your videos over the years for homework in my class. I totally agree with what you said here and I am thinking of changing my approach. I am interested in finding out more.

    I like the one about using gestures and simple words at the beginning, which is where I was as a complete novice. It actually does "work" and seems more natural in some ways, although I'm amusing to native speakers.
    1. Why do I want to learn German ?: Just moved to Vienna, Austria and will probably stay for a few years.
    2. What is your biggest challenge when learning German ?: Many, but in Vienna, a lot of people speak English, even maybe preferred in IT circles, so it is sometime easier to just use English.

While the book and most of the dialogue is in English, there are a fee German words and phrases in there.

    I’m trying to learn because my grandparents immigrated after WW2, so German traditions have always been in our family. My dad and his brother and sisters speak it but never taught it to me or my cousins. I’m also considering a move to Germany someday.
    What I find most difficult is word order. Adhering to “time, manner, place” and looking at word endings such as -en has given me a much greater understanding of how it works, but it’s not always that simple. I also have trouble speaking it effectively (my dad helps, but knows too much advanced stuff for me 😂), and when it’s spoken very quickly, it’s hard to understand.
    I also keep looking for the most engaging and fun ways to learn German that keeps me attentive and motivated, both because I have ADHD and also because I’m a visual learner.
    I would say also that I trust native German speakers to instruct me, rather than those who learned it as a second language, because I’ve heard some American teachers with very atrocious pronunciation 😂

      @lillysummeroriginals1213 Před 9 měsíci

      There are some great short stories read in slow German that you could use. German jam is a great channel, although I think they are American lol. There also is a 17 minute video that is very basic, very very simple, but where it is nursery rhymes and easy melodies that teach it to you. There are 10 different songs including a Weather song, a career song, a Time song, a basic introduction song, accounting song, and different things like that. I get the idea of always needing it to be fun, but the last suggestion is just set aside a few minutes every day to learn. If you set aside hours you might want something more fun, something that will keep you engaged for hours on end but if you set aside an hour, less even, a half hour every day it will be better because it will be able to hold your attention more if that makes sense. I don’t know if that approach works for everyone but at least for me I have found it useful in making that commitment. Hope this can help

    1. I've enjoyed the sound of German as far back as I can remember. I have several reasons for learning German but most of those developed from that initial interest in the sound. Since I started learning German I found that I'm interested in learning other languages in general.
    2. The biggest challenge for me has been the grammar, especially the cases and sentence structure. Reading something that's already written isn't too bad, but stringing together my own sentences...I'm pretty frustrated with it at the moment. Ugh, remembering all the changing endings especially. I love the language but sometimes I find myself wishing "the" could just be "the" or "red" could just be "red"
    BTW I have Anja's A1 course and it's fun. I'd recommend it to whoever sees this. My frustration with the grammar has more to do with how I'm processing that information (or not) and isn't a reflection on the course

    My biggest obstacle is that I get burnt out on it too quickly. I know that being immersed is probably one of the best ways so I tend to go super hard on the lessons and will marathon them for hours and hours until I can't anymore...then I'll stop doing the lessons for months on end before I get motivated to start again. Recently, I was traveling in another state and heard some people speaking German and was frustrated that I didn't understand anything other than the word Super. Not that I should learn to eavesdrop but it would have been fun to talk with them while we hiked up this difficult trail together. Or to help another pair of German speaking tourists that seemed lost at one point. Sure they may also know English but sometimes knowing how to speak in their language can help prevent confusion.

    Hallo Anja! Ich weiß nicht ob du diesen Kommentar siehst aber ich will dir danken ,weil du und viele deutsche Lehrer :innen auf CZcams haben Leute wie mich Deutsch erklärt und gelehrt. Wenn ich hatte eine Frage zB das Unterschied zwischen Akk oder D , du hast so schön und einfach erklärt. Ich weiß genau dass mein Deutsch nicht so gut ist ,aber ich will jeden Tag mich zu verbessern. Ein paar Tipps für Anfänger : lesen und schauen viele Dinge auf Deutsch. Zum Beispiel gibt es viele Kinderserien auf CZcams wie Kika oder die Sendung mit der Maus, oder vielleicht Mediathek. Mediathek ist wie der Netflix von ARD und es gibt so viele Serien und Filmen du gucken kannst und auch Untertitel für den Serien. Leider ist Mediathek nur in Deutschland gestreamt aber mit einer VPN extension oder VPN software , kannst du dann den Website surfen. Aber der beste Tipp ist dass du viel Spaß mit Deutsch lernen hast.

I spent 6 weeks in Berlin at the end of 2020, after having studied with your method for about 6 months. I went three hours daily to class there. Even with that, my German language progress is slow, although I speak three other languages very well -the same ones that you speak, and I am a language teacher that have used your same kind of method for many years with my students. To throw oneself into the arms of this language and let go takes a while! Specially, as I said above, when you don't have anyone to speak German with. Aber Ja, Ich will, ich kann und ich werde Deutsche lerne! Große Küsse.

      Ich möchte Deutsch lernen, weil mein Nachname Deutsch ist. Mein Urgroßvater stammte aus Deutschland. Ich komme aus Amerika. Ich spreche etwas Deutsch, aber ich spreche kein fließendes Deutsch. Meine Muttersprache ist Englisch. I'll try to slow down on the grammar because it's confusing. I'm making better progress going through my English to German dictionary. I still struggle with the prepositions and when to place the verbs at the end of the sentence. Especially when there's a comma in the middle of the sentence. To be fair to Germans, I also struggled with English grammar in school. If I had a native speaker to communicate with regularly, it would help me to reach fluency.

    Hallo Anja, I am very glad to know you and the way you teach German. Your videos are full of Lesson and Fun also. I am completely agree with your views on not learning too much grammar because it can slow you down! You will loose your motivation. Well I did A1. But I speak well German Because I learned too many Chunks Basic Phrases and Daily Life Vocabulary. I am living in Frankfurt I am trying to talk with people in German Language so that’s helps me a lots. I am trying to watch daily conversation /Dialogue Videos.
    Thank you Anja and your Channel is really good and helpful to learn German

    I have been really curious about different regions, languages, different cultures, etc. German is just one of the languages I began with to foster my curiosity. I found it to be really challenging & fun (although I'm having a hard time learning it :D).. The most challenging part according to me is the way a sentence is structured in german.
    Just like you said, I tried to observe how sentences are constructed for example, verbs usually are placed at the end of a sentence (just a beginner, I may be wrong, yet a small observation :)). But yeah, there might be several different ways to construct a sentence and I find it difficult to understand which structure/formation of a sentence makes more sense for native german speakers.

    I’ve been learning German for many years, but never really committed to it, which I regret. But I’m now more motivated than ever. I’ve got close family over there (ich habe zwei Deutsch halb Brüder) and I have always wanted to move over for a little while to immerse myself in the language. I am somewhere between A1 and A2, and I want to move to Germany this year 😂

  • @Bassman2088

    The first answer is to become a polyglot because I enjoy learning languages, as well as increasing my cognitive functions, exercising the pleasure of interacting with people from other cultures and constantly learning.
    The second is to maintain a continuous study discipline because my schedule is extensive, with many subjects to cover, so I have to manage my time well, which most of the time I can't do efficiently.
    Thanks for sharing!🙏🏿

    The more languages I can speak, the more people I can talk to and the more things I can learn.
    My biggest roadblock : I am a primary caregiver, mother and grandmother; and language is my enjoyment and relaxation and comes after the more important activities

    One thing that’s really helped me get a good start learning German is to *_personalize_* the german words I learn. For example: I’m a guitarist and a delivery driver for Amazon. So I made sure to learn the words and phrases that I’m repeatedly reading/thinking/saying while doing those activities.

    Hallo Anja, Great to see your video. Really liked the 4 secrets of learining a language. I am in Germany since 4.5 yrs and had my courses till B1 through online, but this is your 1st video I ever saw and I felt really confident by the way you described 4 secrets. Sure! I will follow your secrets and clear my B1 exam this week (its my 3rd attempt).
    Coming to your question:
    1. I work in local IT firm which requires German for Client interactions.
    2. I had and have difficulty in remembering the Article and the Grammar.
    Hope to see more such interesting videos from you !!!
    Thanks once again :)

I also love the way it sounds and how different it is. I’m up to the challenge though because I’m motivated it’s just the grammar and word order is absurd.

    It is refreshing to know that someone has actually worked out how people learn language. I am dumbfounded as to why the education systems of the world is so ignorant when it comes to language education. For what Anja speaks of here is how children learn their first language: why have we not kept with what has proven to be effective? As an older person with dyslexia I was presented with two full pages showing all the conjunctions for “Tun”. The only thing I got from three weeks of this was a massive headache. The “Auslanderhehode” as me why I have not reached A1. What could I say? Thanks Anje.

    I’ve seen the preview lesson on your website, and I’m totally sold. I’m seriously considering enrolment in the very near future. But I just wished that you could put together a section dedicated especially for conversational German as a separate skill. Something like zoom meetings or corrections made by the team as is the case with writing. Overall I present my astonishment and gratitude for your work.

I am little lost here. Which one is it please? You didn't leave any links to it at the end of the video either.

  • @nerinitapellegatti6828

    Hi Anja, I fully agree the method you describe and use in your Academy is the only efficient way to learn any language. (I also had to learn and speak other languages - about 4.). I no doubt improved my listening skills with the A2 videos and I need yet to finish some of the lessons. My challenge is that the speed and lack of reinforcement. For example, some of the chucks that we lean in one lesson/episode could be repeated on another lesson. This repetition would be very valuable. There are always new chucks but no reinforcement for the chunks already learned, Every video feels as an "information blitz" to me. I would be interested in the B1 and B2 (later) but I am not sure I can cope with the speed and amount of information without giving up. I am still to finish the units of the A2 course.
    All the best!!!! to you and your team
