@abilaw90 It is spelled "Ja"

[kylerice51]

@abilaw90 it is spelled "Ja"

[idiotchild998]

39 people are scared of a 4th reich 13 are gay and 26 are jews

[nanotektor]

I like French, British English, German, and Japanese...

[TheOmuur]

@abilaw90

And you've been studying German for how many years?!

[vlaitor]

French might be hard to understand, but once your know you know both English and french then German becomes quite easy to learn.

[Carepackage65]

This is the best thing ever!

[imAbbyE]

ich liebe dich Deutsch online lernen so sehr ! danke schoen !

[spiritedmustang101]

@TheNayNay426

The W is said like a V sound.

[TheNayNay826]

is the W sound like a W as in (we) or a V sound as in (vee)?

[MrGordon200]

My favorite language!



[ConlangFan]

@TheK1N1 Thank you so much(:

[Iluvmjandpranks]

Danke! =D

[TheRahan100]

Das ist gute Lekzion!

[Multimilionaer]

@TheRahan100 *Lektion ;)

[FMAiscool]

why do languages even need stupid gender grammar rules?

[00Viral00]

Ja its gut! 

[ConlangFan]

Why does it say der koffer, -s, koffer? isn't it like this?

Der koffer = the suitcase

Die koffer = the suitcases. but why the "-s"?

[ibetiambigger]

@ConlangFan the -s is showing that when u plural, you add an S

[Martixkarma]

nice



[H0tguy760]

Pure memorization I guess

[dikar51]

how do u differentiate masculine or feminine in deutch ?

[sk8r9871]

@dikar51 die- Feminine der- Masculine

[Extenderblade]

@dikar51 the masculine definite article is "der", the feminine is "die", but regarding the nouns, there is no way to differentiate. you have to learn it word by word

[1262146]

@dikar51

Der - male, Die - female, Das - neutral (The *insert noun*) Er - male, Sie - female, Es - neutral (He/She/It) Ein/Einen - male, Eine - female, Ein - neutral (A  *insert noun*)

[1262146]

@dikar51 All nouns become female when plural. eg : Das Auto (singular) becomes Die Autos (plural) . Der Elektroherd (singular) becomes Die Elektroherder (plural). Please correct me if im wrong! Auto is car, Elektroherd is stove.

[SachsenLetsPlay]

@1262146 Elektroherder? Mensch bring den doch nichts flasches bei :D Die Elektroherde ^^

[1262146]

@SachsenLetsPlay =D thank you!!!!!!! ^.^..v

[GAm3rsK0ol]

not bad

[prelude619]

@nubapowner5000 you sir are CORRECT! In Spanish, the word dictates where La, El, Los and Las will be used. This is what makes German hard to learn because you must memorize what goes where. Pretty much, in German, you must memorize die, der and das along with the word that uses it.

[guitarfreak1008]

I am here because when I am older I want to go to Germany because my relatives come for there and I really want the dictionary for Christmas because I want to be able to speak to people in there native tongue.

[Krautfee]

Deutsch ist kompliziert. Schon die tatsache, dass viele begriffe verschiedene bedeutungen haben die nichts miteinander zu tun haben wie zb "Morgen" ^^

Morgen = tomorrow

Morgen = morning

Heute morgen

aber

Morgen früh

"Morgen morgen" gibt es nicht und "Heute früh" sagt auch kaum einer.

[TheMammadli]

I'm going to german course nearly 2 months, and I'm sorry I'm gonna make u upset. GERMAN IS THE FUCKING HARDEST LANGUEGE I'VE EVER LEARNED. ( And consider that I know russian and english 2)

[Haevenn]

@TheMammadli no Russian is definitely harder. I've seen their alphabet most of it is a bunch of symbols with no English sounding correlation with them. only one I remember is that the flipped R is pronounced ya, I think.

[MrThejongos]

this serials of lesson are very good , vielen danke !

[musaha97]

@MrThejongos Noooo, it's not vielen danke! It's Vielen Dank.

[monkOIooIO]

I got soooo happy when i got the exercises right. Thanks allot. My spanish helped me understand the feminine masculine thing ALLOT!!!

[W00tW00tful]

does learning german get easier? after i figure out all the sentence structures and what not. Does it take off from there? like with vocab and what not?

[The76thTrombone]

@W00tW00tful In a way, yes. See, my thing is that the sentence structure has patterns, and it's just figuring out patterns, which isn't too bad to me. Vocab is harder because there are so many things to memorize, and it's very difficult to remember everything I've learned. I forgot probably over half the vocab I've learned in a year of German after a couple of weeks. So, I'd say if you master the grammar, there's still a lot to learn, but you don't have to deal with grammar on top of that.

[aaburjaile]

Wunderbar!!!!!!

[AncientAeon]

I find it funny that, by the time I wrote this, the first lesson had >900 thousand views, but the second one only >300 thousand.

[phallus0maximus]

what I don't get is how you know what is masculine feminine or neutral

[peddersbaud]

@phallus0maximus They know, because they've had memorized, there is no way to "learn" how to use, you must memorize each word with its proper article.

[randber]

thank you SOOO much for this video(: ive been trying to learn German and couldnt pronounce anything right and this is such a big help. i love these videossss!!!

[09mrhardabs]

@foro0 schon= already

schön= beautiful

[foro0]

wait i thought schon meant beautiful

[Elheru42]

@foro0 The little German girl in my class today told me that beautiful was chic, as in the word we use to say something is trendy and new. Is that right?

[Elheru42]

@Elheru42 Oh okay, schick means trendy and dressy in German. She must have given me just one of the words meaning beautiful, as in dressed up nicely, or an object being beautiful like a dress.

[mrAZcardinal]

@mrAZcardinal WHOA. Wait. "the" changes too? there are like 4 "are" "you" and "the" s. O_O

[bgnxtdr]

I think german is for me 1 000 000 X better than french ive been practicing for 1 week and i can read short stories yay

[TheDesolies]

@bgnxtdr true dat and french doesnt even pronounce half their letters in their words! lol

[Goneliana]

@bgnxtdr keep practicing its good to know that there are people who love german :)

greetings from germany ;)

[SurfaceCollison]

@bgnxtdr practicing it on this thing?

[ShawDAMAN]

@bgnxtdr I agree :D

[doubleAAbatteries687]

@bgnxtdr Also,german is spoken WAY more than french.So it is a good language to know!

[xxdomoxxkunxx]

@bgnxtdr as a french speaker, french is much harder because etre and the structure of the laungage is backwards but yeah, i like both german and french, german is more forceful sounding, while french is more serene and fluid

[TheOmuur]

@xxdomoxxkunxx Actually, Etre is just as irregular as sein.

Ex:

je suis........ich bin

tu es..........du bist

ill,elle est...er, sie, es ist

and so on.

[jacobbis4lovers]

@bgnxtdr I know how to greet people in German, but I don't think I know enough to get around Germany XD

[101Gotskillz]

Can someone explain to me please why ''Gepack'' takes a capital G?

[theflyy68]

@101Gotskillz All verbs in German are capitalized.

[kRaZyShAdYbAbY]

@theflyy68 nope...

[kRaZyShAdYbAbY]

@101Gotskillz cause its a noun...

[1262146]

@101Gotskillz all nouns have a capital letter :)

[mylanaa]

i've been learning german for 2 years and there are things in this video than i couldn't tell before -.- i love my crappy teacher

[sherifbatawy]

@mylanaa lol

[inkisicao]

thank you so much for this vids

[SyNtzz16]

i find it easy to speak in spanish than german but i really wanna learn german. We're using some spanish words in our country.

[722kittycat]

@watmorecanisay1290 if you notice in the first translation it says der. Der relates to er which is why it is used images of es. If Das was used in the first translation es would be in the second same goes for sie and die. Hope this helped

[hallo1555]

Oh come on!

Noone will learn German by watching these vid (:

maybe I should add I'm german :D

[Madidog123]

@hallo1555 Um, I'm trying to learn the language; you recommend anything?

[hellminer92]

koffers?

gepäcks?

die wörter gibts doch garnicht in deutsch, was für ein fail ^^

[xq2e10]

difficult to learn German, especially the pronounciation

[Malecha813]

@xq2e10 Then work on your English; the word is "pronunciation" not "pronounciation." I should mention that I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to help you out.

[soccerruben1]

@xq2e10 well,I find the pronunciation in German pretty easy,just it needs practice to get the pronunciation right!

[MrIxxel]

anybody for speak german on msn or facebook? write me please thanks

[GamePlay963]

awsome video 2nd day i can speak frases and translate english to german

im on his 11 video trying to find jus commenting on this

[rubyflipper]

Really kind of you to post this series! Thank you so much! My family is in Germany and I MUST begin to learn the language.

[gillgill131]

ottimo lavoro, bravi



[watmorecanisay1290]

Question: at 5:03 is shows "wo ist der koffer?" and answers "ER ist in Berlin" The translation given for the answr is "It is in berlin". Why is "er" translated as "it" where it should be "he" Because it also showed that "es" means it. So shouldn't the answer be "Es ist in Berlin"? And if its "er" because of the masculinity of the statement directly that doesn't make sense and adds confusion but if any help, please.

[socalguy2186]

@watmorecanisay1290 should be es ist in berlin

[FCB11OT]

Wie heißt du? Ich heiße Orlando :D

[KiKa060707]

hallo!!! ich bin in Queretaro, Mexico :D Wo seid ihr? (that's what I learned right know with this video) but, it's ok if I said.. Ich bin in mein haus ?

[MrDludeke]

@KiKa060707 Ich bin in meinem Haus (Dativ-neutral) A good rule of thumb to know when Dativ or Akkusativ should be used is to ask WO? or WOHIN?, respectively. Wo bist du? Ich bin in meinem Haus, oder einfach,

Ich bin zu Hause

Tschuess

[merci15]

to beggin sentces with I am is Ich bin...so ich bin merci, i am merci...

who are you not sure yet...

i think the vedio's help alot!

[MarshallAnh]

how to know which noun go with der,das or die ?

[Madidog123]

@MarshallAnh I suppose you have to just memorize which are masculine, feminine, or neuter.

[MrDludeke]

@Madidog123  Yes you must, unfortunately.

[MrDludeke]

@MarshallAnh You just have to learn it. In English we only have "the" , nouns are genderless respect to grammar, not in German or Spanish. For instance you just have to learn it must be said: "el hombre" (maskulin) and "la mujer" (feminine). Same way in German "Der Mann", "Die Frau"

[Lugmillord]

I watched this just out of interest but I don't think this is the right way to help learning the language... what about beginning with sentences like "I am (name)" or "Who are you?"

I just started watching some videos about Japanese (!) yesterday and even those were simpler. (I am German, btw, before anyone asks)

[Madidog123]

@Lugmillord I was thinking that, too. Maybe this video is more for people traveling to Germany for business, and not so much for people who are traveling there for vacation (like meeting people, sight-seeing kind of vacation).

[kryptofreak440]

@@BellumSacrumBellum28 you use er because koffer is a masculine noun, and therefore you use the der article not the das(neuter) article, so it still translates into it is in Berlin, but you have to use context clues to understand that he is talking about it not he.

[BellumSacrumBellum28]

At 5:13, I thought that Er ist in Berlin means, He is in Berlin, Shouldn't it be, Es ist in Berlin?

[09mrhardabs]

@BellumSacrumBellum28 You'd be right if u were speaking of someone who is male but when regarding to places or things for example with a "der" word it'd be changed to "er" like in this vid. Same with "die" it'd be changed to "sie" and "das" to "es" wen speaking of places or things so yep everywhere n everything is gender based in German.

[Alejandra52000]

@BellumSacrumBellum28

Well what are you trying to say?

[DGKsk8a18]

Ahhh I can't learn, I'm stupid :(

[Schutzstafell]

@DGKsk8a18 You don't learn a language in 8 minutes :P Don't give up!

[soccerruben1]

@DGKsk8a18 don't say that,you know what they say,practice makes perfect!

[llVIU]

translation??

[ChrisGuitarSmith]

Oh and in case anyone's hasn't learned another language other than English then try not to get confused. The (Der, Die, Das) all mean (The) And just like Spanish you just have to memorize which one goes in front of which word. Such as the example (The Suitcase) In German Suitcase is Koffer and Der simply means (The)..... Der Koffer = The Suitcase. If your still confused, then try BUSUU.com they teach German for free and start off a-lot easier than these Vids.

[nubapowner5000]

@ChrisGuitarSmith In Spanish no one just memorizes which goes where. La, El, Los, and Las are all gender and number specific, like I'm sure these are. It's not a guessing game in Spanish, with limited knowledge one can dicipher which to use. You sir, do injustice to linguistics. Good day.

[TheTui2e]

@nubapowner5000 but in german, you can decipher which to use too. not trying to be a pest or something, just pointing it out.

[nubapowner5000]

@TheTui2e No, that's exactly what I was saying.

[ChazDuMan]

@nubapowner5000 you'd be surprised how many people confuse masculine and feminine use in spanish words becaue spanish has exceptions. For example, the word "problema" which means problem in english is masculine even though it ends in an 'a' so you would say "el problema (the problem)" and i've seen many people that do not fully understand the language say "la problema". There are many exceptions in spanish.

[nubapowner5000]

@ChazDuMan Words like that are the way they are because they come from Greek. Because they, when translated to spanish ended with a but had no masculine or feminine background in culture, they simply received a masculine article.

[DaFawky]

@nubapowner5000 "It's not a guessing game"?? Umm Spanish is full of "masculine" and "feminine" words that make absolutely no sense as to why they are called "masculine" and "feminine". It's definitely a guessing game for many of those starting out.

[nubapowner5000]

@DaFawky There is actually good reasons for each of the changes when a word ends in a but it has a masculine article.

[nova65350]

@ChrisGuitarSmith Cheers...will have a look there...

[SilencesGirl]

@ChrisGuitarSmith you need to know if the word is feminim masculin or neutral if the word is feminim then you use Die .If it is masculin then you use Der and if it is neutral then you use Das.

It's is the same like french and Spanish I think.

[ChrisGuitarSmith]

No doubt, you have to commit to learn German. It's a little more tricky than learning Spanish. Oh and yes, S is sometimes pronounced Z and when E is at the end of a word it is usually pronounced A. Can be tricky, but the best way is to just learn how to pronounce the word itself and not worry too much on the spelling just yet. Viel Gluck people! (Good Luck)

[terminattheconqueror]

These are really good videos. Although I noticed that Lesson 2 has half the views of Lesson 1. I guess this separates the men from the boys, so to speak. : )

holy moly i love this..... thanks...!!!!

Crimen Sollicitationis

[xperiabenq]

err....mistake in grammatical gender (5.15/8.00) , should be Es instead of Er.

[BelialfromAbbadon]

sometimes I think it would be good if this were just a bitter quicker ( in some parts ) . .. But it it is Good for learning

[oe98]

@BelialfromAbbadon I think it's made so you can repeat it twice, or repeat it once and think on whatever it was that you said. But I'm biased 'cause I get so excited at the thought of learning German ^-^.

[BelialfromAbbadon]

@oe98 Lol . . .. me too

[CookieSherbert]

Now I can't mix schon with schön, unless if I want to say my luggage is beautiful in Vienna, which it might be :P

[KaiqueSumatso]

Beautiful, weird, difficult and interesting =)

Oh yeah.

[WirkommeninFrieden]

The german Language has the second most vocabulary.

And it has the three special letters ä,ö,ü so it could be pretty hard to learn.

But I can´t say that so exactly, i´m a german myself. I don´t know if you have problems or not with that...

[Yannisastra]

@WirkommeninFrieden

And what's the first language in vocabulary?

[TheAzerigirl88]

THE GERMAN LANGUAGE VERY INTERESTING FOR ME

I THINK IT IS VERY GOOD VARIANT TO LEARN GERMAN LANGUAGE, AND THIS METHOD VERY INTERESTING

[Muso992]

@TheAzerigirl88 Caps lock broken?

[turelsut1]

great danke

[eros84v]

beautiful but difficult :) 

[gruntlover2]

Is it wrong if the only reason you want to learn germen is cuz u r a self proclaimed nazi? but you are friends with a jew?

[thrillzonevideos]

@gruntlover2 a nazi is a national socialist.

[oceanborn45]

@gruntlover2 The only wrong i see is the "self-proclaimed nazi"

[greenapple221]

is german so difficult?

[NFVGames]

I know half of the words :D Shon = sunny, hell = shiny (or sunny, depending on watch you mean. For example: Meine Zimmer ist sehr hell, denn die Sonne scheint immer durch das Fenster (btw Fenster = window), so what i just said is My room is shiny (or sunny) when sun shy's comes through my window (hmm i'm not sure did i translate it right on english, cuz in class i translate words on serbian)) Well i quess i know a little. Ty for uploading videos

[TheGermanMJ94]

Why everyone says German sounds aggressive? I don't think that I'm sounding aggressive or loud when I'm speaking. It's a beautiful language. :)

[NFVGames]

@TheGermanMJ94 Not aggressive, it sounds like harsh language, or "war" language, idk how to explain, for example see spanish language, it's easely spoken, and thats like "singing" language. But anyway german is nice language, i think ill move to german when i get old, thats whuy i need to learn this language :)

[MOSgIrls]

no offence but isnt exersice 1 : ist ES in berlin? ja, ES ist in berlin and not er for both times. just wondering cause its says it not he

[MrDludeke]

@MOSgIrls Es geht einfach so : Wo ist DER Koffer? ER ist in Berlin... oder... Wo ist DIE Tasche? SIE ist in Berlin....oder......... Wo ist DAS  Gepaeck? ES is in Berlin.

[MOSgIrls]

no offence but isnt exersice 1 : ist ES in berlin? ja, ES ist in berlin and not er for both times. just wondering cause its says it not he

[MinersCraftTube]

Stupid english always has to change the names of cities!

[oceanborn45]

@MinersCraftTube lol that's not only english, most of languages change the name of the cities to fit their own language.. Wien - Vienna - Viena (in spanish)

[apocaliptor1]

@oceanborn45 vienne in french..

[juandaru2112]

@oceanborn45 so is the city Koln-Cologne-Colonia (in spanish) -D

[zabeh4u]

thanks for uploading it , gr8 video

[Bresso9]

wow my mouth work so hard, excellent video dank...

^^

[ghgg99]

Is there a Way to Tell if a word is feminine or masculine or neutral by the end of the word. for example schule brief und buch or something like that?

[chocpastryz]

hi I would like to ask a doubt: what is the difference among the words der, die and das. It always sounds confusing!!

[nuvola1974]

@chocpastryz der, die, das are articles (you put them before the names); der is masculine; das neutre; die, femminine. Every name has its genre. For example: DAS auto (in italian, auto is femminine; we say "l'auto" ->"LA AUTO"... but in german is neutre... like "lo auto")

[TheDracheX]

no germans sound like that facking shit XD thats kinda fucking shit ^^

[Kigorusan]

could das gepack be more taschen?

[BrickChickens]

So are all nouns in German feminine or masculine? Like a boy suitcase and a girl suitcase or is it a boy'S suitcase and a girl'S suitcase... can someone explain that? ._.

[Kigorusan]

@BrickChickens masculine and feminine are spoken by both guys and girls its all one language, not like french where they actually speak differently

[8urton]

hi RewindChaos :) - you're absolutely right: it's a question of gender.

'er' is a masculine pronoun - translation: 'he'

'es' is a neutral pronoun - translation: 'it'

since the german term for suitcase is masculine - 'DER koffer' - the corresponding masculine pronoun has to be used with the word 'koffer'.

[RewindChaos]

Okay... Does anyone know the different between "Ist er" and "Ist es" does the gender come into play here? der = masculine so does that make it a "Ist er"??? I'm confused please help. such as where it says "Wo ist der Koffer?, "Ist er" in Berlin.

[nuvola1974]

@RewindChaos every name, every word has HIS OWN gender....you have to learn it :) when you learn german, you have to learn every name's gender. There are some rules (you can see it in a grammar book)... for example, the name that ends with UNG are usually femminine (DIE ORDNUNG). die entschuldigung

[fluff125]

German is the kind of language I always imagine people SHOUTING. Never using for normal conversation.
