You did not explain why their is a "e" between arbeit(e)t or arbeit(e)st. The reason is a simple phonetic one. It is just hard to pronounce arbeitt without the (e) or arbeitst. So the vowel makes it easier. That is why it is or came in.
By the way I am learning English here in Germany and your tense system and word order system is kind of hard for me. So far, so good. Best greetings from Rostock, Germany.
I wish my German could be as good as your English, however, German is not a very hard language. However, I think German word order is much harder than English word order, and most English verbs only have two conjugations per tense.
I am taking first year German in college, taught by a native speaker that goes WAY too fast and explains things in ways I dont understand, and your videos have saved my life. Thank you so much, I especially love that you are saying "y'all!"
I can understand that! Got the same problem with my Hungarian teacher. The problem with native speaker teachers ^^ is that they can't really see the difficults of understanding their language. Maybe you can talk to your teacher and s/he will understand!
my German teacher is very good at German, but never teaches us these tricks. Our work is always very repetative and text book and I struggle with grammar, so thanks very much for uploading these videos, they have been very helpful :)
thank you

this guy is good, but the camera man is probably a kid who keeps talking and messing with the zoom.

Yes, we are taught to start the "f" letter from the bottom and the letter "e" from the middle.

Does all Americans start writing the letters f and e from the bottom? Is this how you learn it in school?
It looks strange for me because I've never seen someone writing it that way in Germany. We learn to begin the f from the top and the e in the middle.
For all who try to learn German:
Lernt man in den USA das e und das f unten anzusetzen? In Deutschland beginnt man das f oben und das e mit dem Mittelstrich.

@damasta00138 Actually, German is extremely difficult to learn; not the words, but how to conjegate them. Aber übungen macht den meister ;)

@AppleUploader: The idiom is 'Übung (singular!) macht den Meister'. ;) Otherwise it would be 'Übungen machen den Meister'.
