How I learned German In 6 months

The books I mentioned:
- Alle sieben Wellen (The sequel from Gut gegen Nordwind):
(These books have all levels from A1)
- Der Mann ohne Gesicht und Mord Unter den Linden both of them from the collection "Lernkrimi" level A1-B1, they are thrillers/mystery novels

I talk so much, but I edited out the boring parts. You're welcome.
I hope you will find the video interesting and that it gave you the right motvation to keep learning German, or in general, a foreign language.

Love you,

Ros

im born in Germany and can speak german very very good because its my Mother language, and i have a tipp for all of us: Pls dint think to much about some sentenses, because the German language is very different. We use 10 words for 1 meaning. so 1 word can stands for huge meanings. i hope i can help some of you a little bit .. an sorry, my english is just of a school base we learned in germany xD

Learning german has been an humillity lection about learning and perseverance. Even when I've been taking private lessons with a native teacher, it has been hard. The key is to not loss motivation, but that's tricky when you are not studying enough and the time passes on.

I just restarted learning german for the third time.
I hope this time is for real .
This video motivated me a lot

It's definitely hardest to get started with a language. As soon as you start understanding a good percentage of the sentences you can then turn everything into practice. Switch your phone language, switch your video game language, read in the new language, watch movies in the new language... It takes way less motivation to read a good book for two hours than it does to really study for one hour.

As a german, i am always happy, see people learning german. :)

Really difficult language for me as Spanish Speaker. Having learned German up to B2 in six months is a great achievement. The advantage is that you live in Germany. You are very intelligent and dedicated. My respects.

Thank you, great pointers ... but I'd like to say: If you study level A1 and A2 thoroughly, not jump ahead, review everything. It's 2 thick books with workbook with excercises. Then you will likely not struggle by the time you come to B1. Because there is A LOT of information in what you think is in lower levels and it BUILDS ON! Just being patient with yourself abd take your time!

I am now going to take my b2 exam this year. I really love languages. German as my 5th language, its pretty much easier compare to japanese one. Ilocano(my mother tongue, condisered as dialect in the philippines but it is a language.) Tagalog, english, nihongo, and deutsch. For me, my advantage for german learning is by talking with the local people here in deutschland. First, build your vocabulary. If you dont have anyone to talk to, talk to deepl or google translate and try to write something in german and the translator will do the job for you if its correct one or not. Actually, watching netflix did not help me at all, not until i passed my b1 which you can understand SOME. B1 is just the beginning. This video will help you keep you motivated and we have similar Almost experienced to learn the german. Its just i learned and passed the b1 in less that 5 months. But keep in mind, all I did was learning every single day and talk to people.

I learned German long time ago.
It took me 4 years to speak German pretty well, until the native speakers said to me : Du sprichst schon gut Deutsch...
German is not a difficult language.
French is even more diffocult; they have 8 tenses compared to German only 3, like English.
Russian is even worse.
I started to learn German in 1990, and got a certificate the same level with B1 in December 1993, ZDaF : Zertifikat Deutsch als Fremdsprache, after I had taken EF Summer Course in Munich in August 1993.
Many Italians, French, and French-speaking Swiss-Canton learned German that day.
My roommates were Italians, but I was not interested to learn Italian.
I've been to Milan / Milano, only for several hours from morning to afternoon.
I took a train that day..
I got a certificate equals B2 the next year, Mittelstuffe-1 Zertifikat.
I used Johannes Schumman : Mittelstuffe Deutsch, until chapter 5 or 6, not finished, but after that, my class used newspapers and magazine articles..
Now my German deteriorates.
I can only answer B1 level, but I can still understand in general DW channel.
Now I learn Chinese.
Ich bin schon mehr als 50 Jahre alt.
Auf Wiedersehen....

Thank you dear for sharing your experience. I just start learning German your video motivation was needed. Keep up the good work!

[nikkijojijojinikki]

Hello, I’ve started learning German about a month and a half now just using duolingo and YouTube. I can relate to all the struggles you had, and I’m at that point right now. I will try getting a lesson book as you suggested. You speak so wonderfully and from the heart. I appreciate your candor. And that was a beautiful quote. Danke schön.

I have written in the description the books I mentioned in the video. love you, Ros

I really like learning new languages but for the last 4 or 5 years (when i was in university) I couldn't just choose one language to learn, for 3-4 months I've tried learnins Spanish and I quit but even though it's passed like 2 years i could still understand some things in Spanish, for a period of time i've tried learning Russian and French and they shared the same fate with Spanish but now i've really decided that the language i want to learn at this point in my life is German, the main problem I have is motivation, seeing people like you gives me the energy i need to study on a daily basis. Its been a few weeks, i hope i just continue forward without worrying other things and keep myself focused on this with other things going on in my life. I just wanted to thank you for the video and share a few things with you. Maybe a year later i could come back to see this message as an another soul :)

Thank you for sharing! I have a complicated task to learn German in 4 months from A2 to B2. And I was about to give up, but you helped me get back on track

[yunsunnyday]

Thank you for your sharing! I'm learning german and now on B1. But i feel like my real level is always stuck in between a1 and a2...😭 I'll try my best not losing my motivation, and hope i can leave a comment that i also nail on it!
