My son told me about your excellent videos. I’m so glad he did! Here am I at 57 yrs young and trying to learn and speak German. Your methods are so different and unique from the traditional teaching methods that were in my high school days. Thank you so much!!!

My parents immigrated to the USA from Germany in the 1960s. I was born and raised in the USA. My parents wanted my brother and me to be as Americanized as possible and never really spoke German to us as children. I love them, but I'm so mad at them for their decision to not speak German to us as children when it's easiest to learn a language. I've been to Germany three times and everytime I visited my family there they wanted to practice their English. I'm in my 50s now and I finally want to learn German so I can have a real conversation in German with my parents. I've been watching you on UKposts for about a year now, and I must admit I have a better understanding of German now more than ever. My challange is that I get hung up on the cases and memorizing the gender of a word, which is so important to know to set up a sentence correctly.

One thing that’s really helped me get a good start learning German is to *_personalize_* the german words I learn. For example: I’m a guitarist and a delivery driver for Amazon. So I made sure to learn the words and phrases that I’m repeatedly reading/thinking/saying while doing those activities.

Frau Anja, you are the best German teacher ever🎉 I'm already in Germany (only 1week here) hand I'm very shock I can't talk with them because i took my German lesson 2 yrs ago and i forgot everything😅. If you want to come here better to learn Deutsch in a language where in you understand first huhu.

I enjoy learning languages as a hobby while discovering cultures , history . Your approach is fun . I do have a difficult time with sentence structure , articles , prepositions , where to place nicht for examples . And so while also using duolingo , your videos and perhaps others while at the gym and relaxing i learn chunks . I figure repetition will make sense through frustrating times . Keep up the good work Anja and crew .

"1,000 words to understand 50% of conversational German". Oh, Anja, compared to my ancestral language (Chinese) that officially requires memorizing 3,000 characters (equivalent to words) to be considered fluent, I better stop complaining or thinking that German is hard and motivate myself to look forward to understanding at least 50% of conversational German in no time. 😀

I am learning german because my grandmother was born in Dresden . I am having just regular difficulties. I want, I can and I will . Tada!

Not only you are the best teacher out there but also amazing actress i love when you do small sketches i laugh so hard makes learning German even more fun. Thank you for all the time and effort you put in your work. ❤

First of all I'm so glad I discovered your channel this is exactly the kind of German study that I adapt to the most! Secondly my learning of the language can be a bit of a challenge when it comes to understanding the [die -der -das] und auch like the person in the video I can understand much more when the language is written down opposed to when a native is speaking in a normal manner.

I speak Spanish as a native language but can also speak English fluently because I learned it some years ago. The key is to be motivated and really wish for it, being obsessed with the idea. I can remind how overwhelming looked it. I cannot say my English is perfect but for me, the most important is not to sound like a native just that I can express myself. So I wish successful everyone on the way and enjoy the process.🤗💗

Best teacher ever ,...you got into our deep problems in few minutes 👍

Learning German is great fun for me, I think it's richer and deeper than ,say, English, yes, it's not easy, but all the little details like endings, cases, genders, difference between du and ihr and so on make you think before you speak and not to be lazy! Thanks for your amazing videos!

I am learning German so I’m can spend time there. Plus as I am recently retired it is good for my brain. 😊 What I find the hardest is the sentence structure and the grammar. I have been doing Duolingo every day for several months but don’t seem to be progressing much.

I want to learn German because I love how it sounds and when I visit Germany again, I can practice more respect to my German friends by speaking German (at least basic German) instead of just speaking English while visiting Germany. My biggest challenge is certain grammar rules such as the 4 cases, noun declensions, and noun genders (especially the correct article to use for masculine, feminine and neuter and if they're in dative, accusative or genitive cases), both of which hardly exist in English and Chinese that I grew up with.

Hi Anja. Thanks for all your videos, they're really helpful. I'm learning German because I'm a translator and I wanted to learn an extra language for work. I probably don't intend to learn how to speak German just understand it. But maybe that will change down the line. It is a beautiful language and I'm enjoying it so far.

I love languages, traveling (although I cannot do it right now) and people. The more languages I can speak, the more people I can talk to and the more things I can learn. My biggest roadblock : I am a primary caregiver, mother and grandmother; and language is my enjoyment and relaxation and comes after the more important activities

Thanks for the video. I signed up for your course but haven’t stuck to it. This gives me motivation to start again! I have German relatives (in Germany and Canada) but they all speak English! I hope to hold a decent conversation in German with them one day!

I am an older person and am learning German to keep my brain active. I think my greatest problem is my tendency to focus too much on the grammar and trying to get things "right". I also have trouble fitting in the learning with other things I do, so I'm not consistent in my approach. I've finished your A2 course Anja and the supplied resources are very good. I need to get the idea of chunking more firmly fixed in my approach.

Refreshing content. the way she blends the English and German is absolutely fantastic. Her actions illustrations skits are simply the best. Mehn... I am glad I found this Channel. Thank you Anja.

Learning German with you is always a great fun. Very very valuable tips for a learner of German language. Vielen Dank meine liebe Lehrerin.

Liebe Anja, I am having a hard time learning Deutsch from one of the most popular Apps. I am a dentist, an oral health researcher and now I want to study for my second Masters degree in Public Health from Deutschland. I feel lucky that I have come across your channel and I have never, literally never come across such an engaging video! What I am doing is to understand the logic and breakdown long words into smaller chunks trying to figure out the meaning. Also, I always try to learn the article with every noun I come across and write my notes in a word document which may ultimately become a book for the benefit of all!😅)....... However this video of yours changed my perspective for the better and I'll write while listening to your videos. Such a good work! Learning is indeed fun and writing even more I believe! 🎉 Vielen Dank!

I moved to Berlin two years ago and I started to learn German Although , I can easily manage with only English in Berlin I would love to be able to speak. At the moment I am at B1 level and my biggest challenge is the speaking. But possibly I am putting to much effort on talking correctly instead of just talking without shame. Thanks for the video, please inform me about the B1 course starting on 17.10.

always love the way you explaining each sentenses, keep it up

I’ve been learning German for many years, but never really committed to it, which I regret. But I’m now more motivated than ever. I’ve got close family over there (ich habe zwei Deutsch halb Brüder) and I have always wanted to move over for a little while to immerse myself in the language. I am somewhere between A1 and A2, and I want to move to Germany this year 😂

I want to learn German because since my family has German roots it would be nice to identify with my heritage more. Also, I have several friends in Germany and want to be courteous and learn to speak their language- not speak English all the time. Visiting Vienna this summer :). Thank you Anja.

Rammstein and my love of their music for many years led me to want to learn to sing their songs, and not only sing them but understand what I was singing. This led to a passion for learning the language itself. Currently at the basics, but I know a ton of their songs by heart and the translation of them, so it's nice that when I'm singing along I'm knowing and picturing what they're saying in German. Learned a lot as a result, now really delving deep into the grammar side of things before improving on my vocabulary. I have a ton to learn.

when i first came to this channel i thought it was a hard one. but now i think its the best

Anja is totally right. I love how her method is scientifically based.

Lol, my motive for learning German was because of 2 of my favorite German bands, Rammstein and Tokio Hotel and then I just wanted to understand the songs better. I also love how challenging the language is and I love a challenge. Ich liebe deutsch!

Linguistics is just one of my favorite subjects in the world. I've been interested in learning another language - any: Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, etc. I decided to pick German because one of my favorite book series takes place in Germany-inspired setting. While the book and most of the dialogue is in English, there are a fee German words and phrases in there.

Thank you for your videos. I really enjoy them. I love the sound of German and I want to travel there again with my family. I found difficulties in the 4cases, noun genders and so on, which is not in English grammar. I am Japanese, I confused about the 4cases is different from taught in Japan.

I had learnt German 50 years ago and because of lack of practice have forgotten most of it. May be with your lessons I may be able to revive my memory.

I teach German at a homeschool co-op. We meet once a week and parents get the opportunity to expand their homeschool curriculum by utilizing some of the moms that may have talents in areas the parents are not strong in. I have found that the grammar is the part that is the hardest part for me to teach because I am not just teaching German at that point, I am teaching English as well. I am a native speaker as I lived in Germany until I was 11 but I never learned German in a formal setting. I have used your videos over the years for homework in my class. I totally agree with what you said here and I am thinking of changing my approach. I am interested in finding out more.

Great video. I'm interested in the language because I'm interested in the history and the people. I used to work with a lot of Germans. My biggest challenge is of course the four cases; nominative, akusative, dative und genetiv - unmoglich !

The first answer is to become a polyglot because I enjoy learning languages, as well as increasing my cognitive functions, exercising the pleasure of interacting with people from other cultures and constantly learning. The second is to maintain a continuous study discipline because my schedule is extensive, with many subjects to cover, so I have to manage my time well, which most of the time I can't do efficiently. Thanks for sharing!🙏🏿

Was für ein ausgezeichnetes Video ! Vielen Vielen Dank 🙏🏻

I like the one about using gestures and simple words at the beginning, which is where I was as a complete novice. It actually does "work" and seems more natural in some ways, although I'm amusing to native speakers. 1. Why do I want to learn German ?: Just moved to Vienna, Austria and will probably stay for a few years. 2. What is your biggest challenge when learning German ?: Many, but in Vienna, a lot of people speak English, even maybe preferred in IT circles, so it is sometime easier to just use English.

Sehr kreativ

I have a few reasons to learn German. My ancestors come to South Africa from Germany in 1750, I am now working for a German company in SA and I want to move to Germany. Also just loving the language.

You are 'THE HONEST LANGAUAGE TUTOR' I HAVE SEEN SO FAR!!!!

1. I've enjoyed the sound of German as far back as I can remember. I have several reasons for learning German but most of those developed from that initial interest in the sound. Since I started learning German I found that I'm interested in learning other languages in general. 2. The biggest challenge for me has been the grammar, especially the cases and sentence structure. Reading something that's already written isn't too bad, but stringing together my own sentences...I'm pretty frustrated with it at the moment. Ugh, remembering all the changing endings especially. I love the language but sometimes I find myself wishing "the" could just be "the" or "red" could just be "red" BTW I have Anja's A1 course and it's fun. I'd recommend it to whoever sees this. My frustration with the grammar has more to do with how I'm processing that information (or not) and isn't a reflection on the course

I’m trying to learn because my grandparents immigrated after WW2, so German traditions have always been in our family. My dad and his brother and sisters speak it but never taught it to me or my cousins. I’m also considering a move to Germany someday. What I find most difficult is word order. Adhering to “time, manner, place” and looking at word endings such as -en has given me a much greater understanding of how it works, but it’s not always that simple. I also have trouble speaking it effectively (my dad helps, but knows too much advanced stuff for me 😂), and when it’s spoken very quickly, it’s hard to understand. I also keep looking for the most engaging and fun ways to learn German that keeps me attentive and motivated, both because I have ADHD and also because I’m a visual learner. I would say also that I trust native German speakers to instruct me, rather than those who learned it as a second language, because I’ve heard some American teachers with very atrocious pronunciation 😂

Ich lerne Deutsch weil ich nach Deutschland Umzug arbeiten und Reisen. Du bist die beste Lehrerin am UKposts.. ich gucke deine Videos gern.

Anja has a great witty approach to learning. German is the only language that gives me confidence I can learn other language. I just love Germany after doing a fellowship there and would like to return to settle one day so I wish to learn. My challenge is speaking is so fast I can hardly hear a word! Ich kann gut schreiben aber verstehe nich wenn sprochen

Iam a Kenyan working in Saudi Arabia and iam trying very hard to learn Germany. I really like your teaching. Iam already finish A1 and iam now in B1. My dream is to come in Germany for a greener pasture and I know that by the grace of God I will make it in Jesus name 🙏🙏

I learned words and phrases from my ex mother in law, but it is Bayern and different from what my daughter speaks in school. Lol so I am learning all over, and I love you and this channel

I want to learn German bc I have a foreign exchange student that speaks fluent German and I really would like to communicate with her, it would be so fun. I also love the way it sounds and how different it is. I’m up to the challenge though because I’m motivated it’s just the grammar and word order is absurd. I can’t wait to see how far I’ll be in a couple months by watching your vids and using these tips.

My biggest obstacle is that I get burnt out on it too quickly. I know that being immersed is probably one of the best ways so I tend to go super hard on the lessons and will marathon them for hours and hours until I can't anymore...then I'll stop doing the lessons for months on end before I get motivated to start again. Recently, I was traveling in another state and heard some people speaking German and was frustrated that I didn't understand anything other than the word Super. Not that I should learn to eavesdrop but it would have been fun to talk with them while we hiked up this difficult trail together. Or to help another pair of German speaking tourists that seemed lost at one point. Sure they may also know English but sometimes knowing how to speak in their language can help prevent confusion.

Аня....... У тебя охуительнейшие видео.... Чувство Юмора, Заряженность, Мэто-до-логгия 😄😄😄 I would be say...... like ... the Best of the best of the Best - Minimum! Aaaaaaber........... 😀😄😆 Kein Aber.... Bruder ;)

I spent a week in Berlin, and I loved it. I want to be able to speak German well when I visit next time. I'm also hoping to move there sooner than later.

You're a gifted teacher.

Hallo Anja! Ich weiß nicht ob du diesen Kommentar siehst aber ich will dir danken ,weil du und viele deutsche Lehrer :innen auf UKposts haben Leute wie mich Deutsch erklärt und gelehrt. Wenn ich hatte eine Frage zB das Unterschied zwischen Akk oder D , du hast so schön und einfach erklärt. Ich weiß genau dass mein Deutsch nicht so gut ist ,aber ich will jeden Tag mich zu verbessern. Ein paar Tipps für Anfänger : lesen und schauen viele Dinge auf Deutsch. Zum Beispiel gibt es viele Kinderserien auf UKposts wie Kika oder die Sendung mit der Maus, oder vielleicht Mediathek. Mediathek ist wie der Netflix von ARD und es gibt so viele Serien und Filmen du gucken kannst und auch Untertitel für den Serien. Leider ist Mediathek nur in Deutschland gestreamt aber mit einer VPN extension oder VPN software , kannst du dann den Website surfen. Aber der beste Tipp ist dass du viel Spaß mit Deutsch lernen hast.

Let me know in the comments:👇1) Why do you want to learn German? (Live/Work/Study/Travel/German Partner etc... ) 2) What is your biggest Challenge when learning German? (Motivation, Grammar, ding good material, Understanding Germans etc.) 👇 PS: Enrollment will open on Friday, October 7. Course start will be Monday, October 17. :D

As an middle age father, i really want to thank you for your enthusiasm un teaching language. You have reminded me my kindest primary school teacher , in order to educate us on the importance of polio vaccination, she pretended as a limping paralyzed woman who sufered from polio in the pre vaccine era. Teachers are the kindest of all sentient beings. ❤

I like to learn new language like German, and I want to travel to this beautiful country one day. My biggest problem is speaking and sometime I don't have motivation to learn it. But I think everything takes time. Day by day, just a little bit more of practice, I will able to fluent German one day. Thank you for sharing the learning method, I wish you have a wonderful day 🎁✨🍀

You’re very creative person. I’m looking forward for the B1 course.

Zuerst wollte ich in Deutschland arbeiten, aber es ging schief, jetzt studiere ich, weil mir die deutsche Sprache gefällt ❤️

Completely agree with your views on not learning too much grammar because it can slow you down! l speak some german but disliked the grammar part and after all when we were babies and toddlers we learned how to speak easily, just by speaking, andthat is the most natural way !!

God bless you cus you are a good teacher.

...The biggest challenge is that is very difficult to have real life conversations in German when nobody around speaks german. Otherwise, Great video! I started in A1 with you and I am now starting B1 with your happygerman academy. I guess the videos for B1 are not out yet, right?. I Love your course. I have started to understand German much better and some things come out automatically. But, yes, it is a very difficult language and movies are still too fast for me to understand. I spent 6 weeks in Berlin at the end of 2020, after having studied with your method for about 6 months. I went three hours daily to class there. Even with that, my German language progress is slow, although I speak three other languages very well -the same ones that you speak, and I am a language teacher that have used your same kind of method for many years with my students. To throw oneself into the arms of this language and let go takes a while! Specially, as I said above, when you don't have anyone to speak German with. Aber Ja, Ich will, ich kann und ich werde Deutsche lerne! Große Küsse.

Ich bin shaina...i have completed A1, ur learning is so helpful for me...from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 🥰

As a beginner I had difficulty in everything but at the moment is more about speaking. Describing simple information.

Love your lessons! Vielen dank!

Hallo Anja, i'm a beginner learner, i really loved your teaching technics, they are so authentic! Because i have German friends i want to talk with them in their native language. I have difficulty with pronunciation when it comes to speaking, it sounds like i still talk in English language.

I'm 68 years old and have always wanted to learn a second language. In recent years, my wife and I have hosted exchange students. Most recently, we hosted a young lady from Germany and our entire family fell in love with her. I've found that the German language fits the English-speaking ear very well.

I’ve seen the preview lesson on your website, and I’m totally sold. I’m seriously considering enrolment in the very near future. But I just wished that you could put together a section dedicated especially for conversational German as a separate skill. Something like zoom meetings or corrections made by the team as is the case with writing. Overall I present my astonishment and gratitude for your work.

Hi Anja, I fully agree the method you describe and use in your Academy is the only efficient way to learn any language. (I also had to learn and speak other languages - about 4.). I no doubt improved my listening skills with the A2 videos and I need yet to finish some of the lessons. My challenge is that the speed and lack of reinforcement. For example, some of the chucks that we lean in one lesson/episode could be repeated on another lesson. This repetition would be very valuable. There are always new chucks but no reinforcement for the chunks already learned, Every video feels as an "information blitz" to me. I would be interested in the B1 and B2 (later) but I am not sure I can cope with the speed and amount of information without giving up. I am still to finish the units of the A2 course. All the best!!!! to you and your team

Der deutsch Grammatik gefällt mir sehr. Ein Ding, der habe ich gelernt, ist dass jeden neu Ding, der ich lerne, ist permanent. Also ich freue mich jeden neu Ding zu lernen!

Funny story- While vacationing in Germany I went on a run. I finished, went into a store to shop, and was going to walk home from there. I tried using the German I was taught from duo lingo and said “wo ist der Bad?” (Where is the bathroom?) After some back and forth, she asked me to say it in English bc she didn’t understand. She was so kind about it. It could have been way more embarrassing. Later I found out that in that region I was essentially asking for a shower. So I agree with what you mean about using old words! I’m sure the chunks would have helped so much! I struggle with forming sentences. I feel like if I understood sentence structure better then it would be more enjoyable to speak and learn words to use within sentences. I love your videos. This video was specifically helpful. I hope to learn more. I am learning German bc my father was born in southern Germany near the Swiss border. When he passed one of the first things I learned was “Mein Vata ist in der Himmel.” I think it’s such a beautiful way to put it. I would like to visit his country of origin more. Also, I’m about to have a baby and would love for him or her to be bilingual.

I thank you with all my heart for your wonderful explanation. I love the German language since I was young, but unfortunately I could not learn it. By chance, I became interested because most of my family now lives in Germany.

Your teaching are so interesting and lively

that's the best german learning guide i've ever seen, thank you!

I know nothing at all about German literally nothing, but I've decided to start learning and I watch bunch of videos about how I can start , I thought at the beginning to join a course or something in my country but they are super expensive , so I decided to start myself at the beginning and then I can join a course or something when I will have a background information , so I will start to watch your series for teaching german for A1 level ❤

I have been really curious about different regions, languages, different cultures, etc. German is just one of the languages I began with to foster my curiosity. I found it to be really challenging & fun (although I'm having a hard time learning it :D).. The most challenging part according to me is the way a sentence is structured in german. Just like you said, I tried to observe how sentences are constructed for example, verbs usually are placed at the end of a sentence (just a beginner, I may be wrong, yet a small observation :)). But yeah, there might be several different ways to construct a sentence and I find it difficult to understand which structure/formation of a sentence makes more sense for native german speakers.

Love this!

I have studied and struggled with French for years. Recently started studying German, and as a native English speaker, find German to be easier to hear and understand. That said, this video has excellent advice for learning any language. If I knew these tips years ago, it would have accelerated my French learning for sure.

Love the German language it all started around elementary school. Though I come from the U.S my first language is Spanish because of my parents followed by English which I use more in my adult life. I decided to take a semester of German and it is difficult to memorize all the grammar rules, the accusative, memorizing the der die das, conjugation of the verbs, it's really confusing. Either way I want to become proficient and fluent one day so I can visit Germany and the other German speaking countries.

I love the language. ( I have studied the works of Mozart, Beethoven, Mahler, etc.) and I have friends in Austria whom I wish to visit and talk to. My issue is age and I don't have the memory I used to. Still, I wish to continue learning as I can

Both of my children went to German Immersion school. My daughter is now in the 7th grade German . I should now more then the basic . They both started when they was 4 years old now my son is 20 . I want my daughter to do great in German

Hallo Anja, I am very glad to know you and the way you teach German. Your videos are full of Lesson and Fun also. I am completely agree with your views on not learning too much grammar because it can slow you down! You will loose your motivation. Well I did A1. But I speak well German Because I learned too many Chunks Basic Phrases and Daily Life Vocabulary. I am living in Frankfurt I am trying to talk with people in German Language so that’s helps me a lots. I am trying to watch daily conversation /Dialogue Videos. Thank you Anja and your Channel is really good and helpful to learn German

It is refreshing to know that someone has actually worked out how people learn language. I am dumbfounded as to why the education systems of the world is so ignorant when it comes to language education. For what Anja speaks of here is how children learn their first language: why have we not kept with what has proven to be effective? As an older person with dyslexia I was presented with two full pages showing all the conjunctions for “Tun”. The only thing I got from three weeks of this was a massive headache. The “Auslanderhehode” as me why I have not reached A1. What could I say? Thanks Anje.

Anja thank you so much you are so energy and positive I like your lessons My biggest problem to learn German is the grammar and I know I have to memorize the conjugation of the verbs But I need to be constant and make more time to spend to learn but I really want to learn

Das ist ein tolles video wie immer, Anja. Du bist die Beste Deutschlehrerin ❤️🥰❤️🥰❤️🥰

Anja du bist die Beste, du hast ein Händchen fürs Unterrichten. Der Inhalt hat mir wie immer sehr gut gefallen. Prost

California guy here, I remember all of the German words I learned, it's the way it's spoken with very particular sounds, plus it's so obnoxious it's unique, it has grown on me, rammstein being the biggest influence

Danke schön.

Teacher you are fabulous...I hope one day to meet u in eygept...your style in teaching is so good

Mine ;to travel and explore and being exposed by new cultures and languages. Love you Anja🥰👌

My biggest challenge while learning was grammar structure,Die verructe Grammatik ,I used to translate the things from English to Deutsch.No one disclosed how to stop tranlating but your 4M Formel helped me to overcome this barrier Anja, thanks a lot.

I like that you mention repetition. That’s the only way for me. Take for example my learning numbers. I haven’t gotten past the teens yet on someone else’s video also a native German speaker. So I decided to walk to my corner store, the German numbers I was repeating in my head and when the cashier asked how many packs of cigarettes out comes the number two in German! I corrected myself going back to English. Well she laughed and so did I. So I’m walking home and again I’m repeating the numbers in my head I learned so far. I couldn’t turn it off! Obviously I haven’t gotten to conversations or writing anything complicated if at all, as I always learn numbers then colors then alphabet then object words or mix it up, but for me it’s more than I woke up with. When you said sentences they were just sounds to me. But getting used to the sound helps. I noticed something with teachers I’ve had. They hear what little I can speak and then because I can imitate the accent perfectly with practice they think I know the whole language and then I get frustrated because I’m not fluent and I give up and teachers always yell at me because they say things once and expect me to remember. Repetition I remember. I like to learn slowly and terrified of mistakes and some people say to me well who do you speak to in whatever language. I say no one. Just myself. I get odd looks. Sometimes I speak broken Spanish to my cats. I could practice German on them to get used to speaking. But it never hurts to try to learn another language. It came in handy once with someone wanting directions and they only spoke Spanish and I helped them and they cared that I tried and didn’t yell at me for any mistakes.

I love you Anja. You are a superb comedian and a great teacher !

I love to learn German, beautiful languages help help!!

the biggest challenge for me are - the pronunciation (especially "r" sound), the verb conjugation, and the listening !

You are always grateful thank you so much I really miss your video's and I appreciate you you are doing great job for us I always thankful

3:02 was quite funny...😆 I like German and have an A1 from Goethe.

I absolutely love your videos Anja! Thank you for what you do!! I use your video clips in my High School German class for my students. 💜💜

I thank to you Ms anja teaching or delivering information for A1, A2, B1.German is similar to English if someone focus attentively. I can get it but there are two main challenges that (1) Pronunciation (2) Grammar.

I am planning to learn the German language. Your videos are super useful, having said that learning German is certainly going to be very challenging. I would love to learn German from a native German speaker.

Hello Anja, thank you for making learning German fun and interesting. I am a beginner. I would like to learn German for many reasons. I love to read about Germany and study German history, especially WWII. I have always dreamt of moving to Germany and living there, atleast a few years. To study, work, and marry a beautiful lady. My biggest struggle with learning is that I do not retain anything. Nothing stays in my long term memory. I dont' have anybody to have conversations with and it doesn't apply to my daily life. It's bad and embarrassing. If I ever have an opportunity to take a German course at a university or a community college I will. Thanks again for inspiring us to try harder and do better. You rock!
