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

Your video felt somehow refreshing in a sea full of creators claiming to achieve outstanding results in ridiculously small amounts of times. Things take time, and that's okay :)

10:00 Her home now has a videogame HUD. It's only missing the E-key interact prompt. Also, "kann ich diese mitnehmen?" deserves 100 bonus points. She has learned the power of "das da." If she now learns "ne, das daneben", she can challenge Liam Carpenter.

I moved from Germany to the Netherlands 6 years ago to live with my dutch BF. I learned how important it is to let go of perfectionism when you learn a new language. You cannot learn without making mistakes. I learned how to take my mistakes light hearted. And that sometimes mistakes are super fun. I remember aaaaalllll the way in the beginning I wanted to say "gele banaan" (yellow banana). instead I said "geile banaan" (horny banana). Just laugh about it and next time you remember how to say it :). I also changed my complete media language: dutch news, dutch TV, dutch radio, dutch books (started with childrens books - Jip and Janneke, so wholesome). After 1 year I was confident enough with the language that I was able to work in a shop ( and learn the language even better) and I think after 2 years I would say that I speak it fluently with minor mistakes that will probably never go away, and that's fine :).

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!

As a person who was born and raised in Germany. I get it. The language is a lot harder that other languages and the more you learn the harder it gets. But it was nice to see you challenge yourself to try and learn a new language! Also maybe try and have like designated days in which you just speak German (or at least try to) with you friend. It’s what my Mom and I did to get more comfortable using English in normal situations!

Today I discovered your channel and watched 10 videos in a row, which almost never happens to me. Your content is great, love your calming voice, sense of humour and the transformation of your first flat. I hope you will see this comment, sending you lots of positive vibes and sunshine from Bulgaria 🌄🌄🌄

In my opinion the best way to add vocabulary words to Anki is to watch tv with subtitles, pick sentences where there’s only ONE word you don’t know, and keep the vocabulary of that word in the context of the sentence with a screenshot from the show and the voice recording from the show.

I just discovered your channel a few days ago and I’m quickly becoming a fan. It was really fun to watch you challenge yourself to learn German, and it was so refreshing to see both your progress and honest self criticism. I’m curious to hear about how you feel about your progress ten months later. I’m rooting for your success! I came to Germany from the United States 24 years ago and became a naturalized German citizen ten years ago. I was looking for some nice German Advent content to share with my sister who is considering coming for a visit with her family this year, and one of your videos was great for that. Viele liebe Grüße aus Nürnberg 🥨

Now that i finished your video, i have to say, that you did really good!! Even your talking at day three was good and your accent was so sweet. I think you have great potential 🥰🥰

If I plant a seed of an idea in my mind it grows, eventually. I find if I come back to it after a while the things I learned seem more solid and real in my mind. Good luck with it and thanks for the uploads, they're great!

I like your idea of putting sticky notes on things in the home with the German names on them. And I laughed when you said, "Maybe something will stick." :-)

I thought you were German lol

Viel Erfolg! 😃 And don’t worry about speaking German, at least in cities people are used to „gebrochenes Deutsch“ and appreciate the effort of learning this unnecessary difficult language ☺️☺️ Just go for it! 🥰

what I think works best for learning a new language, especially when you’re a beginner, is watching tv for children, e.g. Peppa Pig. They use very basic vocabulary and you can understand the story even without understanding all of the text. This helped me a LOT when learning english, so I can definitely recommend it.

Great video, kinda inspired me to learn a new language, too! Greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 (btw I think you did well considering the short timespan of 2 weeks)

I think 2 weeks are simply too short of a time to learn much. When I planned a week long trip through France, I started 6 months earlier to get up to speed with Duolingo. Similar to you, I learned French in school for 3 years, so I had still some idea how to pronounce words. I used Duolingo each day for 6 months and progressed through the ranks. What I especially liked was that I could repeat phrases and words where I wasn't sure about and move on in different topics. In France, I was able to read signs and have small conversations. In one small village, the cafe was closed and I talked to an older woman about how unfortunate that is for everyone. At the end of the conversaion, she even complimented me on my French and I was so happy! 🥳I know I made a lot of mistakes, but we were able to understand each other, and that's all that matters! So, don't give up and just continue to learn! 👍

Oh man, I'm a language learner and I'm constantly frustrated with my slow progress but I'm also not brave enough to really immerse myself in a language by staring to have conversations with people because I'm afraid of not understanding stuff or making mistakes. Guess I just have to take the leap an do something like this. Cool video thank you, I'm feeling inspired:3

Yur videos are just a pleasure to watch Every time i watch a vid i see another enjoyable one snd i’ve allready watched 12 in a row Love yur video style soo much

You did so well, and your pronunciation in German is really good!

I have just discovered your channel and i guess i’m gonna be a fan
