As a native German speaker I will literally never stop being fascinated by how natural your German sounds. Like honestly, if I wasn't listening too closely I would say you're a native speaker!! Keep up the great work 😊

Your German studying videos are never get bored to me and got me motivation to study more. Please make more German study videos. Du bist am besten.

When I took Spanish in high school they made us use a monolingual dictionary, and it was actually really helpful for me because it helped me stop translating in my head. I was even learning words in Spanish without knowing the “correct” translation into English.

As a Korean student studying in the US, this keeps me motivated to study English. And thanks for the English subtitles! It helps me a lot.
