I love your way of presentation and the style you're using with colors and animation. The only thing missing is at the end when you zoom out to the full picture (which I always screenshot) I wish each page was numbered in order.
My biggest misunderstanding was the placement of words in a sentence that differ from English, such as: Do you speak German? = Sprichst du Deutsch? Hopefully I can learn this in the course.
Dear Fergurson, Thanks a lot for your videos. To start from the very beginning (0 LEVEL), do you recommend I follow the 27 videos of this playlist in the order shown in the right column? Thanks again,
Hi! Yeah, I would say these are good to start with. Start with the pronunciation and introducing / asking names / how someone is. I would also familiarise yourself with ‘haben’ and ‘sein’ and then watch ‘nominative’ and ‘accusative’ videos. Then you can form basic sentences! After that, progress to regular and irregular present tense verbs. Good luck!
Thanks for explaining what a noun is. Ive been trying to learn german grammer and they all talk about verbs nouns adjectives adverbs pronouns without explaining what they are. If i dont know what they are im strugglin from the getgo
It’s a good thought, but ‘die Bücherei’ and ‘die Bibliothek’ are both ‘library’. ‘Bücherei’ is used more for local, smaller libraries and ‘Bibliothek’ is a much larger library. ‘Die Buchhandlung’ is a bookshop. Hope that helps?

Hallo! It can take both the ACCUSATIVE and the DATIVE. It’s what’s called a ‘dual preposition’ (eine Wechselpräposition). I go through them in my accusative and dative videos, if you’re interested!
@@HerrFerguson I have actually watched the video and i know that if there is movement it takes the accusative and if not dative... But i didnt know if this counts because some words have dual meanings in german.. But thank you for the clariffication.
@@HerrFerguson one more thing, Ihr hauptfach ist informatik. Isnt the subject always in nominative , i know that it isnt the case but i want to know the grammar?
Ich hab mich das ehrlich gesagt schon immer gefragt wie genau die Intuition zustande kommt mit den Begleitern; bin auch gerade arg am Überlegen wo man ein Schlupfloch in deinen Regeln finden kann.. mmh.. Aber ein paar mögliche (und zumeist unregelmäßige) Ergänzungen gibt es allemal: Die Nutella Die Luft Die Kluft Der Schuft Der Handstand Das Halsband Die Hand Die Wand Der Sand Das Band Und das Deutsche Vaterland~ Das Kissen Der Schlüssel Das Taschentuch Der Mensch Der Schrank Der Fluch Das Buch Der Fuß Der Ball Der Urlaub Das Laub Der Wald Das Meer Das Fenster Das Gold Der Karton Das Holz Die Uhr Das Licht Das Gesicht Das Gewicht (Aber *die* Sicht und *der* Wicht :) Der Kreis Der Greis Das Eis Der Kuss Der Gruß Der Stoß Der Spaß Das Gas Das Glas Die Flucht Die Zucht Die Wucht Die Sucht Der Ventilator Der Kaffee Der Tod Das Brot Die Not Der Kot (Die letzten 3 in korrekt verstoffwechselter Reihenfolge ^^') Aber ja, abgesehen von einigen willkürlichen Ergänzungen ohne wirklich standardisierbare Regeln, bis auf möglicherweise "Der" in Kombination mit einem scharfen S oder ss und "Die" mit -ucht, eine an und für sich solide Liste. Trotzdem sind und bleiben die Begleiter ein Graus für jeden Lernenden - man gut dass ich das Problem bei meinem momentanen Japanisch-Selbststudium nicht habe XD (dafür 2000 Kanji)
Die meisten Wörter die ich da aufgezählt habe fallen nicht unter ein fixes Muster und demnach auch nicht unter deine Auflistung der jeweiligen Endungen; sie sollten nur ein random Denkanstoß für diejenigen gewesen sein, die ggf fähig sind Muster zu erkennen die ich nicht erkenne - vielleicht anhand von noch mehr unregelmäßigen Wörtern. Fühlt sich ein wenig wie Scrabble an und ja ich hatte Langeweile ^^`
Ich liebe deinen unterricht. Herr Ferguson is really exciting and super creative. I love the way you explain important points in an orderly and understandable way. super talent mate.
Could you teach business German systemly，I can not find much Video series about this, I bought a book about foreign trade in German,but beyond my understanding
I’m afraid I’m not an expert in business German really, but all my grammar videos combined with online vocabulary lists focused on business German should certainly help! Viel Glück!
Hello, I am in my A1 level and I have been told that, the words that ends with "ung" will often be feminine. Its a great video actually, thanks for explaining in a simpler way.
As it is basically a female version of "Port", as you can see through this gender transition: der Port (male) der/das Ort (place) (still male, but some non-binary) das Tor (gate) (non-binary) das/die Toor (quarter trans) die/das Tör (half trans) die Tür (door) (fully transgender female)
Also, for food, you have "Die Speise", which means "dish", and "der Fraß", which refers to rotten or low-quality food. Same with cars, you have "das Auto", which is the general term for car (as it is short for automobile), but you have "Der Wagen", which refers to a sports or a luxury car, and you got "Die Karre", which literally transfers to a cart, such as a shopping cart or a cart that horses draw, as it refers to a broken-down car that can easily be compared to the other carts.
der Tourist = male tourist (sg) die Touristin = female tourist (sg) die Touristen = male tourists (pl) or (somewhat old-fashioned) a group of mixed tourists die Touristinnen = female tourists (pl) die Tourist*innen = (inclusive) a group of tourists, regardless of gender identity Hope that helps!
@@HerrFergusonNot gonna lie, that's a nightmare to remember coming from a perspective of only ever really speaking English where all of those are just "The Tourists"
No idea how this video gets only 28k views. Very clear, easy to understand and elegant presentation.
Danke! Very kind of you to say 😊
Dank dir auch! Das Video für mich, ein chinesischer lernender sehr gut!
"To make things easier, think of there being four genders."
The greatest sentence of all time.
Came here after trying to learn from 0 on Rosetta Stone, I was losing my mind but this makes sense.
These videos are so freaking helpful, thank you!!!
Vielen dank, please make videos on prefixes ab, ein, vor ver words etc
Thanks!
Danke sehr!!
老师 你讲的太好了，赞

I wish I could contribute financially but in my country (Syria) there's no way of paying online.
Thanks for the comment, and I appreciate the support! 🙏🏼
actually a great video both the visuals and information, thanks a lot
Thank you for you videos, I’m leaning German at the minute but I’m really struggling with all the different nouns it’s difficult!
Brilliant!
Thank you sir
It was infact a great deal of help for me personally 🙏
This is the easiest explanation on the internet, now I finally understand it. Thank you so much mate.

Hallo Herr Ferguson, you made my life easy using this video.
That was clear. Thanks for all the explanation!

It would be neat if you could do videos with numerous examples (I mean many) for each concept.

6:19 I double checked and in German it's spelled Parlament not Parliament
Good spot! Not sure how that error crept in. Thanks for commenting!

Absolutely! The terminology is part of the difficulty!
Isnt die Bucherei a bookstore, and not a library? Library is a Bibliothek? Or am I wrong here?
It’s a good thought, but ‘die Bücherei’ and ‘die Bibliothek’ are both ‘library’. ‘Bücherei’ is used more for local, smaller libraries and ‘Bibliothek’ is a much larger library. ‘Die Buchhandlung’ is a bookshop. Hope that helps?

Hi what is the difference between Bibliothek and Buecherei?
‘die Bücherei’ and ‘die Bibliothek’ are both ‘library’. ‘Bücherei’ is used more for local, smaller libraries and ‘Bibliothek’ is a much larger library, such as that of a university. I hope that helps!
@@HerrFerguson ok i assumed it was a difference like that though i guessed it the opposite way around haha thank you
Great video thank you very much
Hi mr feerguson i have a quick question.
Is AN a dative preposition?
Like in the sentance: ich studiere an der Humboldt umiversitat?
Hallo! It can take both the ACCUSATIVE and the DATIVE. It’s what’s called a ‘dual preposition’ (eine Wechselpräposition). I go through them in my accusative and dative videos, if you’re interested!
@@HerrFerguson I have actually watched the video and i know that if there is movement it takes the accusative and if not dative...

But thank you for the clariffication.
@@HerrFerguson one more thing, Ihr hauptfach ist informatik.
Isnt the subject always in nominative , i know that it isnt the case but i want to know the grammar?
The subject in this example is in the nominative
Ich hab mich das ehrlich gesagt schon immer gefragt wie genau die Intuition zustande kommt mit den Begleitern; bin auch gerade arg am Überlegen wo man ein Schlupfloch in deinen Regeln finden kann..
mmh.. Aber ein paar mögliche (und zumeist unregelmäßige) Ergänzungen gibt es allemal:
Die Nutella
Die Luft
Die Kluft
Der Schuft
Der Handstand
Das Halsband
Die Hand
Die Wand
Der Sand
Das Band
Und das Deutsche Vaterland~
Das Kissen
Der Schlüssel
Das Taschentuch
Der Mensch
Der Schrank
Der Fluch
Das Buch
Der Fuß
Der Ball
Der Urlaub
Das Laub
Der Wald
Das Meer
Das Fenster
Das Gold
Der Karton
Das Holz
Die Uhr
Das Licht
Das Gesicht
Das Gewicht
(Aber *die* Sicht und *der* Wicht :)
Der Kreis
Der Greis
Das Eis
Der Kuss
Der Gruß
Der Stoß
Der Spaß
Das Gas
Das Glas
Die Flucht
Die Zucht
Die Wucht
Die Sucht
Der Ventilator
Der Kaffee
Der Tod
Das Brot
Die Not
Der Kot
(Die letzten 3 in korrekt verstoffwechselter Reihenfolge ^^')
Aber ja, abgesehen von einigen willkürlichen Ergänzungen ohne wirklich standardisierbare Regeln, bis auf möglicherweise "Der" in Kombination mit einem scharfen S oder ss und "Die" mit -ucht, eine an und für sich solide Liste.
Trotzdem sind und bleiben die Begleiter ein Graus für jeden Lernenden - man gut dass ich das Problem bei meinem momentanen Japanisch-Selbststudium nicht habe XD (dafür 2000 Kanji)

I’m surprised you don’t have more subscribers and comments
Do we need to byheart this rules
You don’t NEED to do anything, but anything you do know off by heart will help 😊
Notice how masculin words have a few rules while feminine ones took the entire video😂
What if dog is girl not boy then what should we put die dog or der
The technical word is ‘die Hündin’ but, like the English word ‘bitch’, it has other connotations.
I'v recently become a loyal follower...can't miss an episode ❤

Hello,
I am in my A1 level and I have been told that, the words that ends with "ung" will often be feminine.

Yep - Everything except ‘der Sprung’ (jump / leap)
❤
And there is 'die Tür'...
As it is basically a female version of "Port", as you can see through this gender transition:
der Port (male)
der/das Ort (place) (still male, but some non-binary)
das Tor (gate) (non-binary)
das/die Toor (quarter trans)
die/das Tör (half trans)
die Tür (door) (fully transgender female)
Dir ist Übersetzungfehler unterlaufen.
Fräulein bedeutet Miss.
So sieht und hört man im Video 😊
@@HerrFerguson Dann bitte ich um Entschuldigung. Ich habe es nicht gesehen.
@miked.181 kein Problem! 😊
a yo bro is a life saver
das essen actually means the food
Correct. And also ‘eating’.
Essen-to eat
Also, for food, you have "Die Speise", which means "dish", and "der Fraß", which refers to rotten or low-quality food. Same with cars, you have "das Auto", which is the general term for car (as it is short for automobile), but you have "Der Wagen", which refers to a sports or a luxury car, and you got "Die Karre", which literally transfers to a cart, such as a shopping cart or a cart that horses draw, as it refers to a broken-down car that can easily be compared to the other carts.
Is it die Touristen or die Touristin?
der Tourist = male tourist (sg)
die Touristin = female tourist (sg)
die Touristen = male tourists (pl) or (somewhat old-fashioned) a group of mixed tourists
die Touristinnen = female tourists (pl)
die Tourist*innen = (inclusive) a group of tourists, regardless of gender identity
Hope that helps!
@@HerrFergusonThanks for clarifying this :)
@@HerrFergusonNot gonna lie, that's a nightmare to remember coming from a perspective of only ever really speaking English where all of those are just "The Tourists"
😅 Yeah… you get used to it!
