speaking and learning only German for 2 weeks to see if i can get fluent

your German is better than that of some Germans

German here, speaking four languages fluently. 5 seconds into the video, and I already know the answer: Hell, no!

As a German Woman, I have the utmost respect for anyone willing to learn and dedicate so much time and effort to learning our language. Because I can't even imagine how frustrating that must be! You're doing amazing though, so keep up the good work!

Go talk to old ladies. They generally love the company, often helped children learn so they tend to be more patient, and they may offer treats!

Musik recommendation, even though I am 1 year late: AnnenMayKantereit

I'm in Germany right now and it was also my aim to order at a bakery! I turned on the hotel tv and realised that actually quiz shows are quite good for learning, because they often put the question and potential answers on the screen and read them :-)

I love the fact that you low-key sound like BMO
Never change!

I've just started learning and have also labeled things, but I have done sentences rather than just nouns. For example, on the cupboard that has the dog leash in it I have put a label that says "I am taking the dog for a walk". This way I'm getting the noun, verbs and correct sentence structure.

Smart girl like you can really do it in no time.. ❤️❤️

i love the music youre using in the videos wow spectacular taste

Wow! Großartig 👍

I love your authentic experience review. Learning German - as learning every other language - needs time. But I love to see that you're enjoying Germany and its rich culture :) How did you experience your integration process in Germany? How was it for you to meet people and to make friends?

Thanks for such a detailed breakdown of your system, Erika. I find a visual approach for learning articles, like they do for example in the Stress Free German podcast, really effective. I basically see the gender for each noun.

It's not about the video, but how do you change the design of your desktop screen (the folder icons, taskbar)? It's really cute

girl you’re gorgeous 😮

❤️

i thought you are from germany

part 2 plsss

I'm sad to learn about Germany's peanut butter situation.

i was born in bavaria but i cant speak german

Omg, you added donate links in your video description, that is so good. Thanks you ❤️❤️

Are you from Lettland? Wait, what's that in English... (looking up) ah. Latvia? Not sure if you still need it but there are lessons on all German grammar on my KanaI.

As a german, breathing in german seems very difficult

Aren’t you a German ? I was wrongg😂

Your pronunciation of some words is absolutely perfect. As in you sound like a native speaker. Others not so much but you'll get there!

We've lived in Germany for over 30 years but due to Brexit we decided to take German nationality. This meant passing the Einbürgerungstest, a written, spoken and comprehension test of B1 language level. Although grammatically not perfect, we passed with flying colours. I achieved a 100% on the conversational part because I was prepared to chat away about anything and everything (plus I corrected a mistake in the question which I think helped in the final add-!)

The “big finally” is my favorite part I love it

I've learned German for 8 years - I am Danish btw. Today I'm at B2 - I have forgotten some vocabulary and grammar, from not using it. I understand most German (spoken slow!), but I have a hard time putting the sentences together myself 😅.

you do have a very charming channel. quick subscription :) i had started learning russian, dutch, spanish and reviving my old forgotten french on duolingo (but life happened) and i very very much celebrate your amazing english! i heard it's not native but holy crap you are FLUENT in unheard ways 0_0 although seemingly not even scripted?! which other languages do you speak besides?

Ganz ehrlich, wer schon Erika heißt...

i think the best way to learn a language is via interaction with people. it's not easy to find friends here in germany. not even for us natives. it can take quite some time. but in general i would recommend activities for you where you meet other people. maybe a sportsclub for a team-sport. there are usually many activities in cities that are organized for those living there. sport events, hiking and biking events, sport clubs, voluntary work programs, culture and youth centers, etc. take a look around. usually every medium size plus city has some form of those. even the smaller towns do in some way.

What's the name of the game

me as a austrian, i gave up on the german language a long time ago.

Where did you buy the book? Seems pretty good and im Latvia so i might be able to get it

Und? Wie sieht's heute aus, ein Jahr später? Bin soo neugierig! Vielleicht machst Du ein Video darüber? Hoffe sehr, dass es Dir gut hier gefällt und Du für Dich befriedigende Fortschritte machen konntest. DU SCHAFFST DAS SCHON!!!!!💪

I've tried a lot of different learning apps, with subscriptions and I honestly think Duolingo is the most effective. Maybe not the best and the most complete per se, but by far the most effective.
The fact that you only focus on simple and mostly useful vocabulary helps you learn a few things from the app and go and apply those new things on whatever is your main source of learning the language, while apps that try to teach you everything together, end up having the least amount of impact on me and would make me feel overwhelmed and sometimes I just had to skip them or brute force them.
Another plus for Duolingo is that even though you dont get to learn grammat independently, Duolingo does introduce you to grammar but very organically and through context. That's great too, especially when you get to read about the context more on your textbooks or by your professor.
Finally, the bread and butter of learning anything, repeatance, mind numbingly and a lot of the times brain dead repeatance of very basic and fundamental phrases and words does help to familiarise with the language.

whats the name of that app???
guys please help me

I managed to get tickets to the Adele concert in Germany this August and Im taking my mother its a huge surprise. I am going on an intense Germany Learning journey for the next 6 months, I want to shock her by speaking German lol. Anyone out there who can help or point me in the right direction would be amazing. I have duolingo which is a good start!.

Bulshitttttt

When you interact with people in coffee shops and stores you may be speaking with people who are speaking German as a second language also. So understanding may be difficult. I have to remember to not be so hard on myself and keep going, I will probably never be a perfect speaker.

its only possible if you are a savant.

thank you so much for trying, learning a language isn´t easy and as a german I can say german´s one of the hardest.
