I'm sturggling with German in school and so I thought that consuming any media that is German must help. It actually doesn't, but occasionally I manage to somehow translate a meme and then I get the funnies.
I'm actually working on a startup idea that is exactly this. But i get lazy sometimes, it has been in a "just a couple more weeks and it's ready" state for a few months now. Maybe ill share it with you once i manage to finish it
Consuming media in the language you want to learn is a great tactic. If you want to look for something at an easy to understand level, try looking for "[language] immersion" or "[language] comprehensible input".
I can't really judge how hard they are for a non-native speaker but this channel (Easy German) has a lot of nice videos, all in german.
Try language reactor, let's you have both subtitles (original + translation) at the same time. It's really great! It's a plugin on chromium browsers. Works with YouTube and Netflix.
Me looking at all the German comments and feeling left out
Come here brother, let me give you a god ol' english hug.
Lernt deutsch. Es ist praktisch
Ist es? Ich bin halb Deutsch aufgewachsen, auch mit Unterricht ist meine Grammatik Scheiße, und ihr spricht alle Englisch lolol.
Wenn jemand sich überlegt ob sie deustch lernen sollten, über eine andere Sprache, dann sage ich immer: Ja, aber nur aus Spass oder wenn du planst dort zu wohnen.
Für Urlaub, bitte, danke, tschüß/ciao/ auf Wiedersehen und Google translate reicht 😅
- meine meiner nach.
I don't follow this sub, and still getting german posts on a regular basis
Google translate is a lifesaver.
These German folks have funnier memes.
And you probably don't even get the puns by translating, right? If someone doesn't know German, they wouldn't understand how much it störs?
Heartwarming, isn't it?
Same, God just wants me to see y'all
I like trying to figure it out. It's one of my favorite things about Lemmy that I can find non US focused communities.
Stay curious, it's a nice quality! :)
I don't even follow the sub lol, it just hits my front page anyways, y'all are great though.
I enjoy trying to puzzle posts and comments put from my Duolingo tier knowledge and context clues. On the few occasions I've asked about something grammar wise everyone was very polite and helpful. Top tier community
Top tier homie.
As a non-german-speaker, I feel like I get plenty of good laughs out of ich_iel. I only feel like I'm missing out on some of the best posts.
No worries. As a near-native German speaker, I struggle.
As a native German speaker I struggle too
Danke schön! Ich lerne immer noch Deutsch und finde die Memes lustig!

I thought I knew German decently, this place has made my brain hurt.
What we do is called "Zangendeutsch", which means, that we force translate everything into German, even if the translation is absolute bullshit or completely wrong.
evenespecially if the translation is absolute bullshit or completely wrong.FTFY
I got some of that, but there are posts in here where I have zero idea what’s going on even knowing the source English meme text.
It reminds me a bit of engrish aka English texts in Japan. Though those are more generally humorous at their literal meanings.
Aber, Danke für die Erklärung!
i like looking at your funny word memes and imagining what it could be about
If you have two possibilitys what a meme could be about, its always the one thats more stupid.
such is life
I studied German around 20 years ago, but have forgotten most of it. It's fun to see what I can still understand when posts pop up.

Pretty close to learning German so I can shitpost here
Thanks. I love this place even though I only fully understand like one post a month lol

It's like a 50/50 thing with me. Some go over my head, some I get and chuckle. Regardless, staying subbed makes me feel "cultured".
Sprich oder scheiss bustaben dammit wir dir lesen kann.

I always wondered what the meaning of this sub was, what is ich-iel?

Idk fuck about German but I wonder how many people joined thinking it'd be a Rammstein thing.
I saw it alot with babymetal, people learn a few lyrics than join Japanese communities thinking they'll all join in.
