I thought in German, at least from my German native mate. You are suppose to use the contractions like vors, übers etc. As, the non-contractions imply more meaning to it or something like that.
@xman4un This "stage of the game"? And which stage would this be? I assume you live in Germany... try mispronouncing words, nobody will understand you. Only the French are worse about it.
@motleyhar The stage that I specified, where grammatical emphasis is of prime importance...generally this is the case wherever languages are practiced until intermediate or advanced levels. And yes...I don't live in Germany, but I visit every year.
@xman4un You're entirely missing the initial point of my comment. You're so far off base with your retorts its not even funny. First off. I lived in Germany for 8 1/2 years and I visit 3-4 times a year AND own a house there AND my kids are German so shove it. Secondly, and my main point, is that I would like these guys to be my teachers as they would be more accepting of my american accent than your typical German would. Now, kindly back off with your poor attempt to sound intelligent.
@motleyhar First of all, this is a public post site...so if you don't like the nature of someones comment's, it's obviously too bad for you. If you intend it to be seen by only those who have provided the videos, send them a private message. Lastly, kindly stick your thumb in your ass, rotate and look for your brains which are obviously lacking. FUCK YOU! lol...asshole
@motleyhar who got owned? who doesn't know how to react imbecile? No...you obviously are an asshole for YOU to react both immaturely and foolishly without much reason. Read my previous blogs dipshit.
@xman4un Posts on YouTube aren't blogs. Read your posts? No. Read mine. I posted first and you never even read anything I wrote. You just assumed and thought you were/are so damn smart. You know even know wtf you're talking about. Kindly, shut the fuck up and sit down. You have been told, thanks.
@xman4un I am an excellent father and soldier, something you will never be able to say in your life. Realize that at this moment you were corrected and set on the right path. Do not cross me again or anyone else lest you be put in your place once again, boy.
@motleyhar This is pointless idiot. Whatever you think you are, however you toot your little horn..for you to state how "excellent" you think you are belies your grandiose sense of yourself. In essence, you're anything but what you profess yourself to be. "Cross you"??? What the fuck are you going to do? You make me laugh!
@xman4un You simply do not learn. You keep beating your head against the wall, over and over again. Do you know what the definition of insanity is? Perhaps you should look it up. Good life advice there, remember it.
I'm American and live in Germany. From my experience, Germans care more about grammar than they do pronunciation, because if your grammar is messed up, they can't understand you. Pronunciation can be worked through without a problem.
@tomopotamus I am happy that you live in Germany... I wish I did (again). Personally, I feel that you're way off base and ironic as it sounds you need to go off base. But alas, you feel one way and I feel another. To each his own.
@tomopotamus I assumed that you were/are in the military. The first reference is towards being incorrect. The second would be advice on interacting with your local community a bit more.
Learning the purpose of these prepositional differences does prepare you for other European languages like Russian which also have accusative and dative cases used in similar ways.

You should probably know that I have begun my German A level course; i gained an A* at GCSE and an A at AS, with one of the highest grades that have ever been scored. This video covered virtually nothing worth covering and that is why I called it sutipid.
how did this deal with nothing worth covering? prepositions play a pretty big part in German - I thought you'd know that considering you're apparently so good at it
I've found that people who brag like you are usually completely full of shit. If you knew anything about German you would know that prepositions play a vital role in the language. The video covered two-way prepositions. I would hardly call that...nothing.
War mir noch nie aufgefallen, dass auf und auf nicht dasselbe ist :D Aber das nenn ich ma gut erklärt! Bei "Er schwimmt in das Schwimmbad" lag ich endgültig am Boden. Kleine Bemerkung dazu: In my opinion "Schwimmbad" means the whole building including showers, lockers and everything, for the actual pool we'd rather say "das Schwimmbecken". :)
Das Video ist echt gelungen. Besonders die Spezialeffekte sind toll. War bestimmt viel Arbeit... How would you say it in English? Awesome, hilarious, amazing!!! :-P
Wenn du das nächste mal bei uns bist, können wir ja auch ein Lernvideo bei uns drehen^^.
