I Learned German in 60 Days.

Hey guys! I'm planning my big trip to Germany in June and I'm not fluent, but I'm definitely conversational in German now (yay!). If you've been following me for a while, you can probably see my improvement. I'm so so proud of my language learning journey and I can't recommend taking online classes enough. What's your biggest hack for language learning? Lots of love!!

German YouTuber recommendation: Taimi! She is you in German form (aka sunshine, the most beautiful soul) has super chill videos that you can just enjoy but also hear a bit of German too :)) otherwise Türkish für Anfänger is an iconic German show (and pretty simple as it’s a kids one). As for movies, Die Wilden Hühner are THE BEST German kids movies!

I know this is a random comment in a sea of other comments, but you have no idea how much of an influence you truly have been on my life. I always look at you as someone I want to be like. All that drive, discipline, willpower, and kindness—you’ve had such a significant impact over the years. During my time studying, I learned a lot about discipline from your “Study with me” videos. I even watch them while studying when I feel lost. Seeing you conquer the world as a student gave me so much hope and love for studying. I don't know if you'll ever see this, but I just wanted to thank you for everything. I love you, Queen of Motivation.alot of love 💙💙💙

If last year you could already have basic conversations, then how can you say that you learned german in 60 days? 🤡 Titles like this only create false expectations on people

Dein Deutsch klingt so toll 🥹 Als Deutsche, die dich jahrelang auf Englisch sprechen gehört hat, ist das gerade total seltsam, irgendwie aber auch richtig schön!

[tannewton]

Netflix recommendation: "Dark" (yes, the title is English, but the entire show is German, and it has been made in Germany)

[evesharples]

Druck is such a good German show available on Youtube! So easy to watch and very conversational language, so helps alot.

I made a friend on your casual kindness post and we've been in touch for about 3 months now and she's German. I was already learning a different language but you inspired me and connecting with her inspired me so I started learning German about a month ago and sometimes I text her in German. Just small phrases and words that I learn and she corrects me and motivates me to keep going. My goal for this year is to hold a conversation with her in German. Also I thank this community and you for bringing us together.

Best german song is “sonne” by rammstien trust me

[irised]

5:10 You’ll love Neuschwanstein. Not only the castle, but also the surroundings full of nature. I was there last summer and it was amazing ✨

[Pacokdjd]

lol you forgot to mention that you are Dutch. It’s like “I learned Italian in 15 days (I’m Spanish) lol

[marialuizadcn]

Ugh, I am so happy is that time of the year Lingoda offers the Sprint option! This week I am doing their 7-day free trial and am super excited to have Spanish classes! Their system is pretty organized and I love the fact the teacher talked I Spanish 95% of the time, trying to “force” our brains to get what she was saying. I’ll totally give a chance to the Sprint 💃🏻

If there is one German song you should really listen to as a language learner it is "Barbaras Rhabarbabar". If you can sing it, you have mastered German pronounciation😂

[claudiaaa_vl]

Thank you for this video! I've been trying to learn french for the last year and these tips are very helpful

[eleoscorner]

Herzlichen Glückwunsch, Jade, du machst das super! 🎉
To anyone looking for German input: My YouTube channel is all about fun, comprehensible videos for German learners. I invite you all to my corner 🌞

[subhojithaldar]

Hello, Im starting to learn German right now, and I swear, i cant tell you how right the timing of this video is. Loved your videos, and have followed you for a long time, thank you so much for all the work! 😄

[autumnobsessive]

Ohh Jade, for german shows I can recommend you Dark (but beware, the audio quality is kinda bad), Kleo (it's about a german asassin in the DDR and shortly after the Mauerfall, so there's a bit of german history inculded and it's really funny!) and ofc, the shiniest, newest – Maxton Hall lmao (can recommend but only if you're in the mood for a bit cliche romance). Also if you're looking for a good Podcast, I would absolutly recommend "Harry Podcast" by Coldmirror (she breaks the first movie down in five minute bits and analyzes everything about the scenes and it's hilarious.) Ich hoffe du hattest einen schönen Tag! 🍀

small town suggestion for south Germany: *Würzburg!* 

more specifically: the city beach "Stadt-Strand", the wellness saunas in "Nautiland", if you like climbing: "DAV kletterzentrum", for yoga: YogaManufaktur im Bürgerbräu, for watching films in an artsy, cosy cinema: Bürgerbräu Central Kino, for pretty views: hike around the "Festung Marienberg", for beautiful big gardens: "Residenzgarten", for chill days in the sun: any green along the river Main (bring a hammock!) or anywhere in the city-park "Ringpark". Würzburg is beautiful in summer, there are lots of vegan food options and it's easy to get around on foot or with the trams. safe travels!

[lisaheller]

german series i would recommend: dark and for a bit of bavarian immersion rosenheim cops (it's a very lightheartet show about the police in a small bavarian town :)) you should be able to watch it in the zdf mediathek :))

German is actually easy and i realized it while learning it on Immersive translate. The app is user friendly and i guess it makes the language more easier

It's so heartwarming to watch this video of yours because 4 years ago I went through the same journey with German when I decided that I will do my advanced exam in German in the end of high school. I had a goal percentage to reach in the end and I did it!! That was one of the happiest days of my life, seeing on paper the reality of my hard work. I was watching many of your videos in that period of time since you were and still are an amazing sources of motivation! 💛 Right now I'm on a similar journey once again, this time I'm learning Arabic and I made it to a native speaker country with a scholarship where I learn the language every day. I love how you remain so reletable throughout all my life phases, you give me a lot of strength. Thank you and I wish you all the best for your journey in Germany! ✨️
