Yay, das Alphabet!
For some reason this video starts to lag BIG TIME with Safari after a while, but not with Firefox. So... don't use Safari.

The German title of Sesame Street's "ABC-Disco" is "Sesamstraße - Unser Alphabet ist das". It should be on YT.
Alternatively, just google "German alphabet" and see what is thrown at you ;)

What you need to do to be my intro:

Record yourself saying the following things:

"Hallo Leute! Ich bin ___ (You can say whatever you want here - name, (youtube) nickname, where you live, where you're from, why you're learning German, or anything else you'd like, one or more things. It's best if you do this part in German, too, but if you're too shy, English is fine as well - just try to keep the video to roughly 10 seconds or shorter) und ihr seht Deutsch Für Euch!"

Please don't edit your videos; if you'd like something changed (e.g. color correction), let me know in your email. I'll make sure to make you look as good as possible anyway, though ;)
I can use a lot of video formats, but your safest bets are the usual candidates: .avi, .mov, .mp4 - DON'T use .dv, please.

Once you're happy with your video, send it to me via ONE of these channels:
- send me a link to a the video on YouTube, also via mail
- please title your message "DFE Intro"

There's NO time limit for this, this will be an on-going thing as long as you send me videos.
I'm looking forward to your submissions - feel free to get creative with it! :)

Your mastery of English makes you an excellent teacher of German pronunciation for native English speakers. It is very difficult for us to pronounce "pure" vowel sounds without putting a "tail" on it, and you "get" it! 👍

ok, learning German for has been a hard and creepy road but you've literally changed all my perspective in 7 minutes. Thank you, had a blast with your videos.

So, I've been studying German pretty intensely over the past few months (I was lucky enough for the US Army to allow me a month based in Ramstein where I made trips to Frankfurt and Düsseldorf and just basically take in the beauty that is Germany- which essentially gave me the eagerness to learn the language). I've been utilizing several sites for learning, German TV and music, and books, and most helpful of all: your videos. They are extremely useful and informative and I can't thank you enough for being so helpful and eager to teach.

Ich danke dir!

I'm American, born and raised. My bloodline is mostly German. I'm learning Deutsch with DuoLingo. You, however, really help me a lot. Danke.

I started learning Deutsch at Christmas. I only knew Das Auto and Aufart (driving once in Germany). Now I've put my iPhone (including Siri) and my Mac in Deutsch, I'm writing in Deutsch, and I am even trying to teach my German customers (I work at an Apple Store) in German, although they correct me A LOT but are very helpful. I listen to HR Info (news radio) from Frankfurt every morning while I cook my breakfast and get ready for work and also listen to Rock Antenne in Friesing (I love rock), plus have started to watch movies in Deutsch as well. I've fully submerged myself and am trying to learn as much about the German culture and way of life as well as I am going to be going to school to get my teaching degree and Teaching English as a Second language certification and hopefully, hopefully see about moving to Germany to teach english. I want to say thanks for the great work you are doing, and giving me one more resource in order to learn this AMAZING language! Viele Dank Katija! I will keep watching as long as you keep making these video!

[ricardoroque]

I just found your videos. I am trying to learn German in my free time, I am amazed by the number of free courses around, specially over here in YouTube. I'd like to thank you very much for taking your valuable time to give everyone a chance to learn this incredible language. It is really a door to culture and knowledge. My feedback to you so far is that you did a superb work, the lessons are funny, useful, short and effective, perfect for those with little time (which is my case). Once more, thanks. Tschüss.

I am Brazilian and think the sounds of German vowels "a", "e", "i", "o", "u" are very similar to the vowel sounds in portuguese.
even the sounds of the vowels ä, ö, ü, are easy to understand for me.

[SimonS]

Starting to watch all DFE episodes from the beginning on again... this is already THREE YEARS old

[mystiskt]

Es ist immer wieder lustig sich als Deutscher sowas anzugucken xD

[ryovan]

I like the way you explained the letters. It is enlightening and so useful. I have a hard time learning it for some time. Your superb videos are great! It's clearly explained. Thanks!

[cloudyesung]

the "ü" and "r" sounds are easy for me because I speak French
and the "ch" sound is easy too because we have its first pronunciation in Tamazight and its second one in Arabic which are both my mother languages.
I don't really find German that hard... Maybe because I'm too used to trying different languages all the time.
Thank you for the lesson!

[orcas]

Thank you so much. People like you who give freely are making the world a better place!

[DeutschFuerEuch]

Ha, just the effect I was going for, perfect - glad to hear that :)

[hlholden]

I'm going to Germany in July. I thought I might want to learn the language, but your videos are very encouraging. I'm downloading all of them to my phone so I can listen to them at work.

[stela_solar]

It's the first video of yours I watch and I got really impressed with the easy/clear/practical way you teach German. Bischer habe ich nur ein bischen D gelernt aber ich muss weiter gehen weil ich muss es fürs leben (täglich). I think your videos will keep me on track. Thanks for offerering these free lessons! :-)

[ayushkumar]

Me : trying to concentrate what she is saying

Also me : she is so adorable I can't concentrate 😂😂😂😂😂

[hellmoon]

äu = oy

shit this is gonna be harder than i thought

[kennydoorye]

You're more interesting to look at than the lesson itself, having said that this video is the most elaborate and comprehensible I've seen so far

[Iamahumanehuman]

It's kind of weird how most English speakers from Germany sound American. I mean, England is literally right there. Their accents are there for the taking.

[juant-s]

Sie sind so gut eine Lehrerin! Der Kurs ist sehr lustig und lebendig! Er gefällt mir sehr!
