I mean I was planning to visit in the next couple of years anyway I guess…
just remember that ich_iel has a lot of fun with literal translations of english words which can lead to very weird german.
Nur erinnere, dass ich_iel ein Los des Spaßes mit literarischen Übersetzungen von englischen Wörtern hat, was zu seltsamen Deutsch bleien kann.
lmao bleien
That’s so metal 🤟
Wenn es Metall ist, kommt es in die gelbe Tonne oder auf den Wertstoffhof. Ordnung muss sein.
nie.
please be advised that speaking german properly is super fucking hard compared to learning many other languages, and you don’t need german in germany for the most part.
when I’m in germany I speak my shitty, broken german and they respond to me in english
That’s when you double down and tell them in German that you don’t speak English. That’ll confuse 'em.
I, a white man, would love to learn to speak German with an Indian accent just to really fuck with 'em
That’s the spirit.
I’d try Turkish tho
Fuck it i’ll just speak spanish or french then.
I once asked a German guy in Germany if he spoke German. On accident. When I was trying to ask him if he spoke English.
Did he reply in German that he didn’t? :-)
They probably speak English with you because your German is not sufficiently efficient.
My favorite phrase to use in all foreign countries is “Please forgive me, I am American.” It gets a laugh out of almost everyone even when terribly butchered in any language and most people will then attempt English for you.
Except Parisians, who do not care. I think they would prefer I point and grunt to trying either English or my awful French.
Thank you for differentiating between french and parisians.
Compared to other languages… If those other languages are Romantic, North Germanic, Dutch, Afrikaans, or Frisian. A majority of other languages are typically considered more difficult for people who only speak English.
That being said, I found Russian way easier than German at first, but that quickly stops being the case… German shares a lot of semantic/syntactic similarities with English so you can reasonably assume that a lot of German constructions will easily translate to English, for Russian though it’s more unfamiliar and you have to put more effort into thinking Russian-y. The main thing that made German way harder at first is German declensions… ugh… Russian has a complex declension system but it’s extremely regular, while German declensions are pretty irregular and the declension of articles is especially bad because their forms overlap a lot. Adjective declension is similarly bad. German word order also fucked with me a lot but it’s decently rigid so you get it quickly.

I don’t speak German. I just have Google Translate installed on my phone and just selected the text and hit “translate”.
Ich würde mich auch blockieren.

Does anyone know what is the deal with the images (I assume it’s some kind of German meme) of people or characters with instant ramen on their head?
The noodles are just my signature. So just ignore the noodels. They have nothing todo with the meme directly. I just place them on the head of whoever in the meme is me.
Haha all this time I thought it was some widespread cultural reference. Thanks for all the OC!
No problem. Sadly in the last time I post less because I kinda made all of my meme ideas haha
Creativity comes and goes. I don’t like the internet’s culture of forcing content creators to produce no matter what because it leads to poor quality. The ideas will come back
Thanks :)
Might be the wrong answer, but I think it’s kind of a signature of the creator… Sth with insta in his name
Ding ding ding You are Correct!! :D All the memes with instant noodels are from me. Its my signature. :)

I was thinking about it for a while. The posts encouraged me. The prospect of possibly wanting to leave the US in the next year or two depending on things also makes me want to learn a second language.
Come to Germany, we need more sysasmins (smart voters)

Try a little less Chaplin, and you are on a good way.
Don’t learn german. As a german I always feel sorry for people who learn this language just for 80 million old people ^^
As a german I have to say learn whatever language you want, even if nobody speaks it.
Ok, I’m learning QBASIC
You should rather learn FORTRAN and make a lot of cash at some bank ;)
Most of the classic big financial tech mainframes actually run on COBOL, at least in Europe. Though even those are very slowly being replaced, mostly by Java. Still, freelancers with COBOL specialty do rake in huge sums. It’s not only about the rare tech skills ( COBOL isn’t worse or harder than other languages, it’s just old and thus simple), it’s about having those skills combined with a sufficiently high security clearance.
Oooops sorry, I meant COBOL
Someone forgets the existence of other countries where people speak German
A better reason to learn it is that anything you say in German sounds like swearing.
Mein Hovercraft ist voll von Aalen!
Too many Hollywood movies m3in Freund.
Yeah. Once I overheard someone chatting behind me while in a train. I knew it was in German because I’ve learnt some long time before. It was the cutest (presumably romantic) conversation I’ve ever even though I didn’t understand much. Before that I’ve always thought French sounded the nicest, but that conversation shattered my belief.
A while later, I went to Germany to visit friend. While at a museum I read out loud some descriptions on items there. He told me I spoke like in films, even like Hitler. Hearing him talking with family, it was very casual and there was no sudden change of intonation like in movies. I somehow realized stereotype in movies ruined my perspective on the language.
I recently started hearing playlists of French punk rock. I can confirm, if you don’t pay attention what they’re saying it sounds… German
La vache! La vache!
Holy heck that is an oooooold MAD-Magazine reference. xD Kudos my good sir!
An old Monty Python reference. 😀
Number of German-language posts? I’m somehow not seeing those. I am however a native speaker of German already, so no need anymore to learn it.
Sort by Top Six Hours, and they will start showing. [email protected] shows up frequently there.
Now it will be [email protected]
I was learning it (super slowly, thanks ADHD) anyway, but it was when I finally read a 3-sentence long post and could read 90% of it without really thinking about it that I felt I was progressing at all
So of course I haven’t practiced in weeks now, fuuck
Huh? Wo sind die posts? Where are they?
