ABOUT ME
Hey there, I’m Jenna! A Canadian Expat living in Germany since 2014. 🇩🇪
Like many, I had a difficult time relocating - all the paperwork, making sure I wasn’t getting scammed, finding a flat, a phone plan, a job, etc. So, I took it slowly and documented all my adventures along the way so that years down the road, I could help others avoid making the same mistakes I did. Let’s look at it as… PAVING THE WAY FOR NEW EXPATS TO SAVE TIME & MONEY!
I built up www.lifeinduesseldorf.com to help expats make the best out of their lives in Düsseldorf, and then soon realized a lot of the content I was sharing was helpful for ALL expats living in Germany. SO I BUILT AN ONLINE PROGRAM THAT HELPS EXPATS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD RELOCATE TO GERMANY EASILY - WHILE ALSO HELPING TO SAVE THEM THOUSANDS OF EUROS! 🤑
... and now I’m bringing it all to YOUTUBE! ♥️

The last point can't be stressed enough.
Always remember that everyone of us has learned a language before, our native language. We don't remember this, but watching and listening to little kids can teach you how to learn a language the fastest way. Little kids learn to speak a language by listening, imitating and repeating. When they learn for the first time about grammar, or properly reading/writing for that matter, in school, how old are kids? 6 years? 7 years? At this point children can already speak conversational fluent and never learned about grammar or sentence structures in their lives. Until this point, kids never think about making mistakes, pronouncing words wrong, worry about a wrong sentence structure or using the wrong tense.
As adults we lose this ability of innocence. We worry so much about embarrassing ourselves and think more about the mistakes we could make, instead to focus on just using the language and be happy that we can communicate and by doing so constantly improving our language skills. Other people don't look at others and make fun of them if they mispronounce words or using wrong grammar, usually they are impressed that this person has the courage to learn a different language.
Also never forget, especially if you are an American or from any other English speaking country learning German, that Germans learn another language, usually English, in school mandatorily, so the vast majority of Germans (with an age of ~50yrs and below) know exactly how hard it is to learn a new language and this is why they are so supportive.

German music, the best you can listen is Ludvig van Beethoven Ninth symphony "Ode To Joy"

Du sprichst so ein schönes und klares Deutsch, das ist bestimmt ermutigend für andere, die denken, das schafft man nie.

I know it isn’t popular, but I agree with you about the intensive course. I learned Spanish from 0 to B1 in 8 weeks by doing an intensive course in Madrid. I came back having conversations and even giving off the cuff presentations in Spanish; not perfectly, of course, but fairly comfortably. If you have the time and means, it’s well worth it.

You are so much fun to listen to, I can easily see you growing in popularity keep making videos!

I’m in Switzerland and how I’m doing it and I’m going pretty fast as I’ve been here this Wednesday is my fourth week, tell ur friends to just speak German around you after you learn some and you will pick up on what they are talking about and will learn it, the German music thing too is great, it helps a lot

I also took an intensive course without prior knowledge and it was a drag. Im now in A2 after repeating A1 three times. I'm going to keep going to see how far I can go!

I came across this video to know quick way to learn German but you drew my attention to your English. It is so good. Ich bin am lerne Deutsch.

To anyone who wants to listen to German music but can’t find a singer I definitely recommend “mark Forster”

You mentioned music: kinder music is the best to learn LOL There's a YouTube channel that also has subtitles (Kinderlieder). My kids enjoy them (they are in a German kita and they understand everything), and because they are simple and repetitive songs they help me a lot

Great video! Can I add a tip? One of the things that helped me get started was to learn German in Switzerland from a Swiss person. The Swiss don't take German so seriously and so they'll just get you speaking rather than worrying about the complexities that the German language has. To quote my teacher, the "Germans will hate it, but they will understand you, and you'll be able to have a conversation."

I’ve been learning German on and off for a couple months and this helped a lot

My brother studied languages at the Defense Language Institute Foreign Language Center in California. The pace of study was intense. Students had to master the language course in 36-64 weeks. Psychologically it was very difficult, but fortunately he was helped by Yuriy Ivantsiv's book "Polyglot Notes. Practical tips for learning foreign languages”. The book " Polyglot Notes" became a desk book for my brother, because it has answers to all the problems that any student of a foreign language has to face. Thanks to the author of the channel for this interesting video! Good luck to everyone who studies a foreign language and wants to realize their full potential

You are absolutely right on all the points 👏 I am a beginner and doing exactly all your tips, bis auf the intensive course which I aim to do hopefully soon

This is so funny. I stumbled upon your videos because youtube suggested them to me. I am actually German but fluent in English and whenever someone asks me how I got so good at it I usually suggest the exact same things you did but just the other way round. Especially the movie and TV show watching. I always tell them to watch movies or shows they already know and watch them in English with English subtitles so they can hear the sound of the words they read and hear them in a context they are normally used in . It's pretty awesome to know that it works the other way round as well.
I am currently watching all your videos because even being German there's one or two things even I can learn ;) Plus I think it's important to be open and know what expats or people from other countries in general are struggling with so it's easier to help.
Keep doing what you're doing! It's pretty awesome!

I've been in Germany for a while now. You are so right, in order to learn German you need to insist on speaking German. Many Germans speak flawless English and will want to speak to you in English. I learned that if you continue to answer in german they will get the hint and then speak to you in German. You need to have the courage to sound like a fool in order to learn German. Like you, I have discovered that Germans are very nice in helping you along as you struggle through German as they are the first to admit that German is "Deutsche Sprache, Schwere Sprache."
