My American girlfriend is of German-Scottish descent and has taken German since high school. For the longest time I refused to learn it because I thought it was impossible, but thanks to your awesome tips and some hard work of my own Iâm able to speak a little German with her which makes her happy. Thank you Feli!

I lived in North Germany for a while but only taught myself German (sadly) so I make a few mistakes. But most people can understand me. Anyway coming originally from Scotland, and talking German with my Scottish accent, a lot of Germans actually thought I come from Holland. I loved Germany and do miss it a lot.

As a German English teacher that travelled a lot to the US, I have to let you know how impressed I am by your content. Not only did you explain it in different ways that reach up to a much bigger audience (simple terms and linguistic terms), but also emphasised the most common grammatical issues Germans are stuffing with while learning English as a foreign language.
much love from and liebe GrĂźĂe from your home country

When in the US, I got a phone call from someone who wanted to sell a newspaper. He was unstoppable and after 3 minutes, when he kind of had to take a breath for the first time, I said in the most possible German accent: "Sorry, I could not understand that very well. I am from GĂśrmany. Can you repeat that?" what immediately ended the phone call.

Other typical German grammar mistakes include not getting conditional ("If I WERE you, I WOULD.") and subjunctive clauses ("It's crucial that you BE here.") right, dropping essential auxiliary verbs ("I WILL go there tomorrow."), mixing up the English subject-verb-object (SVO) word order, inserting temporal expressions at the wrong position in a sentence or clause, and overusing the perfect tense which is more common in German ("I have given her the keys yesterday.") over the simple past (preterite) tense which is more common in English ("I gave her the keys yesterday.").
