I want to become able to speak German fluently.

Even if you reach fluenty you will be cursed with a most funny accent for some time.

>>72327368
What denotes an American accent in German?

>>72327443
It sounds wobbly.

>speaking nazi

>>72327368
>Glashaus

>>72327463
well, could be worst. You could have a german accent when speaking english.

Hmmm?

I want Werner Herzog's accent.

I think there is like 10 different ways to say "I" and "the", and don't try immersion to learn, Germans don't want to hear shitty German and will speak English to you, good luck

Ich will es auch.

Why is Deutsch so fucking retarded, speaking like fucking Yoda and shit?

I wish I had just went straight to Arab or Turkish school instead of learning their Legacy language.

>>72327593
Only one way to i, 2 ways to say me

>>72327773
ah okay, lived there a while, go into store and as soon as I'd say "ich mochte....uh..." they would speak English, didn't learn much

>>72327949
Yeah, they do that here as well

>>72327595
Dutch? But that's German anon

>>72327230
You won't have reached true expertise until you can not just fully understand this:

and express yourself similarly but also be deeply moved by it.

This better be bait

Ich kann nicht das lang aufmerksam sein, aber ich kann dies Lied herhören und verstehen

this is better https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zTL0CM4dI3o

>>72327949
Frenchs did the same and I was there. I simply kept speaking semi broken French until they started answering in their language. Find some balls and be more adamant next time

>>72328953
*when I was there

>>72327230
>want to become able to
Wait until you can speak English fluently first.

>>72328867
Why can Germans no longer produce good music?

>>72328630
>Ich kann nicht das lang aufmerksam sein, aber ich kann dies Lied herhören und verstehen
Ich kann nicht so lang aufmerksam sein, aber ich kann dieses Lied hier hören und verstehen.

>>72327230
me too

Absolutely hilarious, do you know of any more?

>>72329318
let's go a bit farther south https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghmQTUfijAk

>>72329132
Also verstehe ich die ersten beiden Veränderungen, aber warum sagst du hier hören statt herhören?

>>72328393
Reee overly dramatic crying of Old-Greens. Those child molesters were the worst.

>>72329494
Um, i couldnt understand him but was that a song about slinging shit fertilizer everywhere?

I want to learn GDR German?

>>72329660
yep
yeah he sings in dialect, have a song in standard german https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJe3cdM7f1c

>>72329085
Don't you like that song? It's totally meant to be serious

>>72329672
hmm ist das ernstgemeint?

10 Euro für den Mist?

>>72329742
How do you find these?
>>72329755
Well of course it's serious, why wouldn't2 it be?

>>72328505
Just fishing some (yous)

>>72329942
GDR Deutsch is superior Deutsch.
I don't have 10 eur, but I can give you 10 macedonian dinars.

>>72329958
I don't know many such songs. I just saved some of those that I found over the years

>>72329958
It has a nonsense text. Well it is a bit like Trio but more hilarious.

>>72330071
That >>72329942 was actually meant for >>72329755

There is no thing such as GDR german. Only what those saxon retards speak.

>>72329497
Herhören passt nicht so recht in den Satz. Es bedeutet eher soviel wie gehorsam sein. Ich nahm deswegen an, dass du dich dort entweder nur vertippt hattest, oder versucht hast, nach dem, wie das Wort ungefähr klingt, zu schreiben. Aber wenn du einfach nur hören meinst, im Sinne von to listen, reicht es auch, einfach nur hören zu schreiben.

>>72330085
Well thanks for sharing. My german teacher plays some German rock before our classes; thinking of sending him these

>>72330223

Try this one here, good german pop music, well understandable I guess

>>72330198
Ich habe einfach "to pay attention" gemeint und mein Wörterbuch sagt, dass "herhören" bedeutet "to pay attention by listening"

>>72330189
do people really speak Niederdeutsch irl ?

>>72330223
found another highlight https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Nrp_TNsAl8
doesn't really have singing in it though

>>72330396
But that is actual music; i simply want to share a joke, thanks though

>>72330414
you would only use herhören as an imperativ. I couldnt pay attention that long would be "Ich kann mich nicht so lange konzentrieren"

>>72330440
There is no such thing as niederdeutsch, I think this a group of dialects. Some Regions have their regiolects.

>>72330515
Ah da habe ich auch etwas für dich

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0mHkbiMJ3Q

this is the cologne dialict

>>72330593
What about paying attention to something?

>>72330414
But does one even say in English "to pay attention to a song"? This doesn't sound right.

>>72330593
okay, can the local turks understan the german dialects?

>>72330822
auf etwas achtgeben, auf etwas aufpassen, etwas beachten

>>72330822
there is no 1:1 translation here. Well spoken German is quite specific about situations and how do you want say something. The tone.

English has many words, German has many ways to say something. Too bad, with intercultural mixing and influences from English these notions of german language are dying.

>>72330912
You can say pay attention to most anything. You could also say "i couldn't listen to it" but that would be really open ended as to why, but if you say "yeah i couldn't pay attention" it means it was boring. Plus the link was to like a video about some bullshit, which you can most definitively use to pay attention with

Hmmmm

>>72330917
Not worse or better than normal german I guess. In Bavaria the turks speak german with bavarian sound. They get better educated down there. Quite irritating because many turks here just speak kanakspeak, a crooked form of german

>>72330977
>>72330822

That's not what he wanted to say. All these expressions mean taking care about something.

Ich konnte mich nicht darauf konzentrieren and then give the explanation why would be fitting best.
