This is me "attempting" to speak German. I know I make tons of mistakes when I speak, so PLEASE PLEASE make comments on my pronunciation and grammar.

How long have you been studying German? Sorry I don't think I caught it in the video..

(And off the topic, for someone who was raised in Korea, your english is quite good as well!)

[etherealjiwon]

Haha.. I live in Korea now, but I've been in Sri Lanka for 7.5 years, studying in an international school. So I guess that explains my English. :)

I've been learning German for nearly 7 years now. Considering that, my speaking is quite tragic.. :(

Your pronunciation was clear enough that a beginner with less than 6 hours of study (that'd be me) was able to understand the first 2 minutes almost perfectly :D.

*browses the rest of your channel*

[etherealjiwon]

Really? That's quite encouraging to hear. But from many comments I've received, I was able to compose the following conclusion:

My German sounds foreign to Germans, but quite German to foreigners.

Oh, and may I ask, what did you think about my other videos? :-)

[Arianovich]

I think that in the moment for the video you had the same problem as me now because the fluency was slower,but i think that in this moment you speak better.

@etherealjiwon Dude buy the Pimsler Approch, all you have to do is listen to a cd and you'll learn the lang. it's like how a baby learns how to talk, by taking words from convos. and use them.

Daumen hoch! Deutsch ist eine verdammt schwere Sprache. Muttersprachler können das nicht verstehen. Ich würde dir epfehlen mal einige Zeit in Deutschland zu leben. Das würde deine Aussprache ziemlich verbessern. Viel Glück und Spaß weiterhin am deutsch lernen :)

You speak clearly.  Germans have a tendency to run their words together quite fast. You are speaking slower than Germans and you have hesitation between your words. Aber Sie spricht

gut Deutsch.

[Undine1965]

Sehr gut, Deutsch ist nicht so einfach!

[MerleBlumentopf]

hey du bist echt nicht schlecht!! faust auf deutsch ist wirklich ziemlich schwer, weil es auf althochdeutsch geschrieben ist... ich bin deutsche und hab mich manchmal selber schwer getan (peinlich^^)aber dein ehrgeiz ist echt bewundernswert!!!

"statt 2 uhr vormittags" würde ich "2 uhr morgens/nachts" sagen

I started learning German about one year ago. I speak Spanish as mother language. And I can understand every single word you say in this video very clearly.
