As a German watching this out of interest and boredom I can say: Best video to learn German EVER. 99.99% correct and to the point. This video alone could save you 3 months of learning. Advise: do not overly focus on the letter R thing. We don't care ;-) We go mad if you say Porschee lol
I go a little crazy. Mainly because that's the one non-German speakers make all dramatic like they're about to cough up phlegm. Not always. If they're super serious about it they won't. But if they're learning... I want to slam my head against a wall.
@@fuckthisshit504 1) weird 2) it's not weird, it's just another language. If you always get a foreign languages with that hostile attitude you won't find any help.
@@fuckthisshit504 This is the fukn interwebz, you can't offend me personally. Only very poor asshole patridiots get offended. And calling natural sounds of any language odd is as bad as calling it weird. If the ig in German sounds odd to you, then please don't even come close to Netherlands. Their g sounds like an inflammated throat. But please, I beg you, don't ever mention it in a Dutch language course. Else they too would think your attitude stinks.
And this is how you teach a language. So many other teachers of German here just read words and phrases and then read the English translation. It becomes a game of memorisation. You give enough context to make it possible for someone to actually extend the knowledge or combine knowledge to handle never-before-encountered situations. This is awesome.
I agree with you......😊 .... I came across this lesson when I was searching for absolute beginner's lessons for the German language this was more of a struggle for me because most of the channels that showed up needed someone who had an encounter with the language. I was starting from scratch, alone on TH-cam. I needed the vowels and how to differentiate them when the sounds are similar and a bit more intricate parts of speech in the language📚📖 .... among all the channels, this one has been more specific and detailed, carefully articulating the key components and consonants and much deeper than I could ever imagine. 💯 I am so grateful for this channel👏👏👏
I know 5 languages already. L'anglais, Französisch, Deutsch, Swahili und Chinesische und die niveau ist sehr gut für alle außer Chinesische, ich habe sie für Jahren gelernt, gesprochen und sogar unterrichtet .
Herr Antrim! Ich habe vier jähren Deutsch auf Hoch Schule gerlernen, und zwei jähren Deutsch auf Universität gestudieren. Das war vor vielen Jahren. As my birthday resolution, I've decided to dust off my German (as my grammar/vocab might show) and I feel the same excitement learning from you as I did when I first started in 1973. Danke!
I just finished this long lesson, dividing into manageable portions. Thank you for explaining the basic rules so well that even an old Indian lady ( ~ 74 years) can understand them very well. God Bless!

Hi teacher Antrim, I'm a freshmen in a Vietnamese medical school and I'm planning for B2 in the next 3 years. It takes me 4 weeks to complete this lesson (fully noted). I just want to reach out and say that your video is wonderful and I really appreciate the huge amount of passion you put in there. Thank you sir !
@@opocaj4973 Are you learning german? If yes in which level are you in? I was just wondering if you could help me with the german language?! Btw nice question!
Hey man, just wanted to say that even though I'm learning German for a bit over a year, and made quite a lot of progress, I've still managed to find so much usefull information that, somehow, I haven't stumbled upon so far. I can only thank you for the effort put into making this, and remember that your work is appreciated by many.
Thank you for the kind words. It is always nice to hear that I have made a difference. I wish you the best in your German learning. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you along the way.
@@MrLAntrim I have a query regarding learning languages generally. From what I understand, often its the case that the pronunciation and tone in which a non native person speaks their chosen language will be influenced by the teachers native or second language. For instance, if as you do, speak English with an American tone and pronunciation, will I as the learner generally take on those influences in the case of learning the German language? If this is the case, should we not learn German from a person who speaks English with the desired intonation, such as with an English, Australian or indeed American intonation?
If your only goal is to mimic native speakers' pronunciation, tone and intonation, sure. My caution would be that many native speakers don't have experience learning their own language and therefore have trouble relating when learners struggle with topics that they find simple as a native speaker.
@@MrLAntrim Im glad I met your channel and your incredible skills to teach everyone! All the usefull information, curiosities the progress I've made. Thanks to you I feel that I can learn more about this amazing language and their people!
I've been putting my studies in the German language oftentimes on the back burner. My progress has been quite slow but I am glad that I have finished these lessons after several months. For me, it's an enormous leap towards improvement. Dankeschön Herr Antrim. 🇩🇪🇵🇭
Hallo Leute, I'm from Bangladesh. I worked as a Farmer. I completed my Higher school, but the family barrier I couldn't complete my graduation. Now I have heard about Ausbildung in Germany. Now I'm trying hard to learn Deutsch for study in Germany. I hope I can learn from Here Antrim. For the further financial issues that the way to learn Deutsch. God bless you. ❤❤❤ Also Don't forget to pray for me. 🫰
das ist wahnsinn, normal hoerst du gerade bei amis immer den us akkzent. er hat ueberhaupt keinen, ich musste erst googlen weil ich dachte er ist irgendwo aus hannover oder so lol
@@Oumpah-Pah ja das stimmt. Ich dachte beim ersten Mal hören, dass er deutscher ist. Später habe ich dann aber schon herausgehört, dass das nicht seine Muttersprache ist.
This is just what I was hoping to read, I don't want to sound American speaking German. BTW I wonder if an Australian accent similar to American or British?..
@@haylsteinn4881 yes please work on the accent. You don't want to sound like the lady in this video. It's just awful to listen to. th-cam.com/video/pOjmzdM8il0/w-d-xo.html
I'm so grateful this exists. I need at least A2 German to emigrate permanently to Österreich. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful resources on TH-cam! I was listening to this while driving on a long, traffic filled trip home from a dental filling. It was keeping me sane! 😂
Sir! I used to be a teacher and currently learning German, I passed the A1 and still going back to basics so I wont forget and now.... this this video is really rocking it. Putting it together was not easy, and I cant tell you have a heart of a teacher. I LEARNED a loooot... seriously. Even if I go back to this video over and over again, I would learn German faster than expected. thank you soooooooooooooo much. I will recommend your video to pay it forward.
Took me watching over 20 different videos on learning German to find this. Even all combined they don't match up to this amazing guide. Thanks so much Herr Antrin, learning German just got so much more fun! :D
Trying to brush up on my German after years of not using it this course is perfect. Such a good patient teacher.really enjoying it. Thank you Herr Antrim.
This was so informative. I am at a B1 level (according to the Goethe Placement test). I spent about a week watching this in entirely. I also wrote things down and I felt so much better with my German. Especially with forming sentences and understanding sentences, conjugated verbs, etc. I felt like this was a great refresher for me and I feel much more confident in my German skills. My partner is German and he also says that I know more than what I think I know. Which I believe is true. I do have a lack of confidence with German. I have so far lived in Germany for 6 months (Will be going back soon - hopefully). I truly love the language, I miss hearing it, even at times I said things wrong, or I got flustered because I try so hard to understand and speak back but it doesn't come out so grammatically correct (unlike my English). But I still try and try again. I hope to gain fluency in the language, live and work in Germany. It truly feels like home to me. I cannot thank you enough for the work you put into your videos, you deserve so much views and recognition. I really feel like I finally understand German more than I did. Especially on the Grammar terms. I look forward to your next videos! Tausend Dank! Herr Antrim.
This is an amazing course for the beginners, you put so much efforts, time and work in this video, I really appreciate it ! Thank you so much for explaining the basic rules, they are really helpful to me. One of the best German course ever done !
I'm German and was finding a video to help a friend, especially with pronunciation. When you can pronounce things correctly, your confidence goes up because you don't feel like you'll "sound funny." This video is great. The pronunciation is perfect and not too formal. It also isn't dated like some of the other videos I've seen.
That's a different and interesting point of view... I'm Brazilian, and when I first learned English, I obsessed a lot over pronunciation, to the point that I lost most of my accent and now I few like I lost a lot of time when I should have focused more on being understood, rather than speaking exactly like a native would.
Thank you for such a great bunch of lessons! I am a Ukrainian university student trying to resurrect my knowledge of German, that was lost after my graduation from school and your videos are just invaluable!
Imagine how hard it is for us the spanish speakers to learn this language and specially with the explanation in English 🤣🤣 it means that I need to use my English skills to understand German ✨✨ Is complicated but never impossible :D
Poor spanish speakers. In total, German has 13 different vowel sounds, Ive seen so many Spanish speakers struggle with it, lol. Also, so many consonants are different: B, D, G, H, J, K, P, R, S, T, V, W, Z. I'm just so happy it was the other way around for me.
I’m planning to move to Germany and this is super helpful, plus I recognize a lot of words and phrases from my convos with my friend. Who does not type in English, so I have to step up my German learning.
@@MrLAntrim as you are not a native just curious :) as you are American what made you want to learn German and how long did it take for you to become fluent? as I imagine you can speak standard German but can you speak the Saxon dialect ? just curious
im just starting with german. I literally didnt know any german word before this video. Im just in the middle but i wanted to say thank you so much ! such an incredible content, excelent explanation and phase. You are amazing ! i wish you the best !
This is really well done. I never thought I’ll resume learning German but your content and style of teaching are making me finish your videos in one go. And I’ll keep watching. Thank you.
I really enjoyed listening! Your advice is very informative and honest. I can definitely tell you put a lot of work into this, It must take a lot of dedication to wear a wig and lick a toy ice cream cone without bursting into laughter. I hope all of my work comes out well
That was a fun watch. Just browsed a bit through the course and I really like how entertaining it is. I mean, you can tell this is not a native speaker after 3 seconds. For the first level, I doubt that makes a difference and one could argue that someone with a firmer grasp of the English language might even be better to get you started as they would know the issues students are facing much better (e.g. I would never have guessed someone would have problems distinguishing wer & wo).
Oh really? Give him timestamps, maybe he doesn't notice. I am sure he would correct himself. From my perspective, his pronunciation is awesome, and he also explains it technically!!!
@@nicolaebacrau6703 Yes i am a native german. Maybe in some small southern parts of Germany it is more pronounced like this, but i would say in most speaken "normal" German "Hochdeutsch", it is pronounced way higher. His pronounciation to drücken is good, because you speak a short ü ( because the ck after it ). But Grün and über is not so good.

my mother language is arabic but i prefer learn in english for improving it btwThis is the first video i have watched i hope to learn german with u, i really wanna learn german i need that ,and thanks a lot for your efforts
Dankeschön Herr Antrim, I have found the challenge fun and interesting. You are a top teacher and I’m finding all the question and work sheets fantastic. I’m so glad I invested in the eBook it has supplemented the lessons brilliantly. Again thank you from Australia 🇦🇺 😀
⚠️ It's always easier to learn a language from non native teachers, they know exactly what we need to learn, and the difficulties a beginner will face. It's always easier to understand, because the words are so well pronounced. Often, a native person talks not so clear. This happens in any language. And I can say that, because I'm Brazilian, I speak Portuguese. I can clearly see the small difference, but the teacher here has an excellent pronounce. I wish all German people could speak so clear, but on daily life, even the easier phrases are not said so clear. If you're an advanced student, well, you can continue learning from a native person. This video is a true treasure for all foreign people beginning to study German. 🙏🙏👍❤️
thank you for your series of complete courses :) it's been very helpful in retaining some basic german fluency during my semester breaks. i look forward to the B1 follow-up if you intend on making one!
Your achievement Sir, is that one wishes to hear more and more of you, simultaneously informative and highly entertaining. If (a big IF) as a result, I succeed in learning German, it will be my first foreign language, since I learned English. If I don't, whoever's fault it might be, it emphatically won't be yours. Frank
It took me 6 months to watch this. Seems that it was out longer. I didn’t think I would ever watch this but I still had it in my Watch Later 😂. I needed this of course. I feel good now. I’m glad for the protection from someone else rather than my typical grounding routine.
Thank you. Just found you on YT. I studied German when I was in the navy and we were slated to go to Hamburg. I am entirely self-taught and thus I take all the credit, or as the case may be, the blame. Other than Guten Tag, Guten Abent, and Auf wiedersehn, the only thing I remember from those dim and dusty days are, Wie viel costet der kohl. Hope to rectify that starting now. Also subbed.
Thank you very much Mr. Antrim! I work in a Cruise ship with 100% German guest and watching your videos enriched my knowledge in German Language. Your explanafion is very clear. Super!
I can't thank you enough for making this amazing video sir ! from the order of the lessons to the examples and those skits ! (without forgetting the great sense of humor ! ) your work is immensely appreciated ! =)
Not even learning German, but the effort and amazing teaching in this makes me want to learn. I wish all languages were taught this clearly. And for free!
Thank you, I'm learning Spanish right now, and I plan on learning German. This video will definitely help me with the basics. I appreciate that you took the time to make this. Much love!
You are very welcome. Thanks for learning German with me. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you along your German learning journey.
Okay, I have watched numerous Learn German videos here on TH-cam! I am only 12 minutes into this video and feel I wasted so much time until now! This is without a doubt the BEST and can see how much it will help as I listen to the end. Thank you so much Herr Antrim!!!
I´ve been learning with Duolingo for months...But this is the course I really needed! Explanation of grammar, examples and good pronounciation!! Thank you so much
Thank you so much for this video... I will soon be in A2 and this video really helped me so much especially on my pronunciation. Vielen Dank Herr Antrim.
Thanks you're doing a great job explaining this. I often use this to keep track of and refresh my knowledge when I'm away from Germany or not in a German course.
Hello, Here Antrim I have never seen a teacher take time to build up a class as good as you do in this video. I recommend this video to any living creatures that want to learn German with confidence. Bravo. Merci. Gracias.
The positive attitude and friendly character was what I liked most. I also love how this video is 3 hours instead of 6 30min different videos where I need to find and watch them in order. Danke, Herr Antrim.
Herr Antrim, thank you for all the effort you put into teaching in your videos! After I finished the German course on Duolingo, I realized I had a basic grasp of the language, but still not enough vocabulary to be able to read German children's books, or really feel comfortable having a real time dialogue with my friend in Germany. Your videos, as well as some of the channels you recommended, have helped me understand a lot of the why's and how's of the language that I didn't pick up from Duolingo. Your video about spelling and pronunciation (especially regarding ridiculously long compound words) actually brought me to a question: can ANY German nouns be used to form a compound word, or are there notable exceptions? And are there specific rules when making a compound word? I've noticed some that seem to have extra letters between the individual nouns. Thanks again, looking forward to more videos! Keep up the good work!
01:43:17 It is "Das" and not "Der" Opfer. Having said this, in the beginning you say that learning the Alphabet is useless and then you go ahead and go over each letter, which is basically the same thing as learning the alphabet. Or is it not. I am teaching some people German and I find it super useful for them to actually know how each letter is pronounced. Afterall, isn't German spoken phonetically the whole time!?
I very much enjoyed this. Thank you very much! (I watched this because I am going in for my A1 this next week and wanted to catch up. I have learned mostly by osmosis so far and now I can go in and hopefully pass the test. The course helped me confirm I can do relatively well with the basics, but also taught me a bunch of things I was missing, so thank you!)

Hallo Herr Antrim, viele Grüße aus Hessen. In unserem Bundesland gibt es noch einen speziellen Gruß, den Sie Ihrer Liste vielleicht noch hinzufügen können: Gude = Kurzform von Guten Tag (Ei), gude wie = Kurzform von Guten Tag, wie geht's Die zweite Variante ist allerdings nicht so häufig anzutreffen, da der Mensch in der Alltagssprache natürlich dazu neigt, die kürzeste Variante zu bevorzugen.

I was just wondering if you could help me with the german language?!
Btw nice question!
I've been learning German for 2 years and no one told me any of this! Thank you so much!
Hey man, just wanted to say that even though I'm learning German for a bit over a year, and made quite a lot of progress, I've still managed to find so much usefull information that, somehow, I haven't stumbled upon so far.
I can only thank you for the effort put into making this, and remember that your work is appreciated by many.
Thank you for the kind words. It is always nice to hear that I have made a difference. I wish you the best in your German learning. Let me know if there is anything I can do to help you along the way.
@@MrLAntrim I have a query regarding learning languages generally. From what I understand, often its the case that the pronunciation and tone in which a non native person speaks their chosen language will be influenced by the teachers native or second language. For instance, if as you do, speak English with an American tone and pronunciation, will I as the learner generally take on those influences in the case of learning the German language? If this is the case, should we not learn German from a person who speaks English with the desired intonation, such as with an English, Australian or indeed American intonation?
If your only goal is to mimic native speakers' pronunciation, tone and intonation, sure. My caution would be that many native speakers don't have experience learning their own language and therefore have trouble relating when learners struggle with topics that they find simple as a native speaker.
@@MrLAntrim I will just like to say thank you
@@MrLAntrim Im glad I met your channel and your incredible skills to teach everyone! All the usefull information, curiosities the progress I've made.
Thanks to you I feel that I can learn more about this amazing language and their people!
I've been putting my studies in the German language oftentimes on the back burner. My progress has been quite slow but I am glad that I have finished these lessons after several months. For me, it's an enormous leap towards improvement. Dankeschön Herr Antrim. 🇩🇪🇵🇭
Hallo Leute, I'm from Bangladesh. I worked as a Farmer. I completed my Higher school, but the family barrier I couldn't complete my graduation. Now I have heard about Ausbildung in Germany. Now I'm trying hard to learn Deutsch for study in Germany. I hope I can learn from Here Antrim. For the further financial issues that the way to learn Deutsch. God bless you. ❤❤❤ Also Don't forget to pray for me. 🫰

Why am I watching this? I am german.
Btw, your accent in german is really good.
das ist wahnsinn, normal hoerst du gerade bei amis immer den us akkzent. er hat ueberhaupt keinen, ich musste erst googlen weil ich dachte er ist irgendwo aus hannover oder so lol
@@Oumpah-Pah ja das stimmt. Ich dachte beim ersten Mal hören, dass er deutscher ist. Später habe ich dann aber schon herausgehört, dass das nicht seine Muttersprache ist.
Wieso gibt es hier Deutsche?Das ist doch fürs Deutsch lernen.
This is just what I was hoping to read, I don't want to sound American speaking German.
BTW I wonder if an Australian accent similar to American or British?..
@@haylsteinn4881 yes please work on the accent. You don't want to sound like the lady in this video. It's just awful to listen to.

The most useful 3 hours of my life. Get pen and paper...jot em down, you'll feel confident with each lesson. Thank you, Antrim.
hey do i write down every thing he teaches, (like im doing it rn)or do i i don't know. how did you took notes?
I'm so grateful this exists. I need at least A2 German to emigrate permanently to Österreich. Thank you so much for sharing these wonderful resources on TH-cam! I was listening to this while driving on a long, traffic filled trip home from a dental filling. It was keeping me sane! 😂
Sir! I used to be a teacher and currently learning German, I passed the A1 and still going back to basics so I wont forget and now.... this this video is really rocking it. Putting it together was not easy, and I cant tell you have a heart of a teacher. I LEARNED a loooot... seriously. Even if I go back to this video over and over again, I would learn German faster than expected. thank you soooooooooooooo much. I will recommend your video to pay it forward.
That is so great to hear. I'm glad you are getting value out of this video. Thank you for sharing it with others.
Give me some tips

@@MrLAntrim Shall i able to clear A1 exam by watching this entire video?
Is this video sufficient to clear A1 exam?
Took me watching over 20 different videos on learning German to find this. Even all combined they don't match up to this amazing guide. Thanks so much Herr Antrin, learning German just got so much more fun! :D
Trying to brush up on my German after years of not using it this course is perfect. Such a good patient teacher.really enjoying it. Thank you Herr Antrim.
Sie sind ein ausgezeichnet Lehrer Herr Professor Antrim.
Herzliche Glückwunsch!
Thanks!
This was so informative. I am at a B1 level (according to the Goethe Placement test). I spent about a week watching this in entirely. I also wrote things down and I felt so much better with my German. Especially with forming sentences and understanding sentences, conjugated verbs, etc. I felt like this was a great refresher for me and I feel much more confident in my German skills. My partner is German and he also says that I know more than what I think I know. Which I believe is true. I do have a lack of confidence with German. I have so far lived in Germany for 6 months (Will be going back soon - hopefully). I truly love the language, I miss hearing it, even at times I said things wrong, or I got flustered because I try so hard to understand and speak back but it doesn't come out so grammatically correct (unlike my English). But I still try and try again. I hope to gain fluency in the language, live and work in Germany. It truly feels like home to me.
I cannot thank you enough for the work you put into your videos, you deserve so much views and recognition.
I really feel like I finally understand German more than I did. Especially on the Grammar terms.
I look forward to your next videos!
Tausend Dank!
Herr Antrim.
You studying there?
You, sir, are seriously amazing! All those years of training and learning being put to very good use as a service to humanity.
Wow, thank you!
This video is some golden stardust sent from the skies. Thank you for this!
Thank you very much. Make sure you sprinkle this stardust on your friends.
As far as am concerned you are simply the best German teacher I've ever heard ❤
Thank you so much!
This is an amazing course for the beginners, you put so much efforts, time and work in this video, I really appreciate it !
Thank you so much for explaining the basic rules, they are really helpful to me.
One of the best German course ever done !
True, my friend. He is perfect
It's so amazing course 💖❤️ from Tanzania 🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿🇹🇿
You are an amazing teacher (and you also get bonus points for your puns)
Thank you. Encouragement like this helps remind me why I do this.
Hey how are you and the weather there?
I started learning German last month and found this video quite helpful.
Dankeschön 🇩🇪
Glad it was helpful.
I'm German and was finding a video to help a friend, especially with pronunciation. When you can pronounce things correctly, your confidence goes up because you don't feel like you'll "sound funny." This video is great. The pronunciation is perfect and not too formal. It also isn't dated like some of the other videos I've seen.
That's a different and interesting point of view... I'm Brazilian, and when I first learned English, I obsessed a lot over pronunciation, to the point that I lost most of my accent and now I few like I lost a lot of time when I should have focused more on being understood, rather than speaking exactly like a native would.
Thank you for such a great bunch of lessons! I am a Ukrainian university student trying to resurrect my knowledge of German, that was lost after my graduation from school and your videos are just invaluable!
You're very welcome!
Sie haben wirklich eine exzellente Aussprache, Herr Antrim, das muss ich als Deutsche sagen. Auch wenn man Ihre Herkunft heraushören kann.
Amazing material. Fun, interesting and fast paced. No patronizing the students. The teacher is smart, dynamic and clearly understands teaching.
Imagine how hard it is for us the spanish speakers to learn this language and specially with the explanation in English 🤣🤣 it means that I need to use my English skills to understand German ✨✨ Is complicated but never impossible :D
Poor spanish speakers. In total, German has 13 different vowel sounds, Ive seen so many Spanish speakers struggle with it, lol. Also, so many consonants are different: B, D, G, H, J, K, P, R, S, T, V, W, Z. I'm just so happy it was the other way around for me.
I'm a native spanish speaker and don't ask me why, but it's insanely easier to learn german en english than en spanish :/
I’m planning to move to Germany and this is super helpful, plus I recognize a lot of words and phrases from my convos with my friend. Who does not type in English, so I have to step up my German learning.
good luck! 🇩🇪
Thank you soo soo much your teaching method and style is op love it you saved my months
Thanks
I really appreciate the amount of work you've put into this .. It's amazing !
Thank you very much!
Hello Amritha this a 1 level full course
May I speak with you in private massage, Azaelia?
@@MrLAntrim as you are not a native just curious :) as you are American what made you want to learn German and how long did it take for you to become fluent? as I imagine you can speak standard German but can you speak the Saxon dialect ? just curious
@@michaelhawkins7389 I'm pretty sure he is German. No?
im just starting with german. I literally didnt know any german word before this video. Im just in the middle but i wanted to say thank you so much ! such an incredible content, excelent explanation and phase. You are amazing ! i wish you the best !
Ayo how’s it going so far?
The way of teaching and explaining German language is very original. It's let me to figure out how to spell word's in correct way. Vielin Dank
This is really well done. I never thought I’ll resume learning German but your content and style of teaching are making me finish your videos in one go. And I’ll keep watching. Thank you.
woow one go
Thank you for posting this on youtube so you can help people learning german!! i appreciate this video alot!
My pleasure!
I feel like giving Herr Antrim a like for each lesson 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
A very well structured course. Well timed, what a great teacher he really has a passion for subject, great sense of humor.
Wow, thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video.
I really enjoyed listening! Your advice is very informative and honest. I can definitely tell you put a lot of work into this, It must take a lot of dedication to wear a wig and lick a toy ice cream cone without bursting into laughter. I hope all of my work comes out well
Thanks. I'd say the 1 million+ views on this video is almost worth the wig and plastic eating... almost.
One of the best german course ever done!
You are too kind. Thank you.
why is nobody talking about your sense of humor? You had me smiling the entire time!!! Thank youuu!!!!
That was a fun watch. Just browsed a bit through the course and I really like how entertaining it is. I mean, you can tell this is not a native speaker after 3 seconds. For the first level, I doubt that makes a difference and one could argue that someone with a firmer grasp of the English language might even be better to get you started as they would know the issues students are facing much better (e.g. I would never have guessed someone would have problems distinguishing wer & wo).
Sometimes your pronunciation is a bit off, but still by FAR ... the BEST german i heard from a non native speaking person.
I thought the same
The Ü is a Good example for an off 9:54
Oh really? Give him timestamps, maybe he doesn't notice. I am sure he would correct himself. From my perspective, his pronunciation is awesome, and he also explains it technically!!!
@@exploralle159 Are you a native German? I am not, but I've heard Germans speaking a lot, and I don't notice that.
@@nicolaebacrau6703 Yes i am a native german. Maybe in some small southern parts of Germany it is more pronounced like this, but i would say in most speaken "normal" German "Hochdeutsch", it is pronounced way higher. His pronounciation to drücken is good, because you speak a short ü ( because the ck after it ). But Grün and über is not so good.

@@jenniferlorence185 True, my friend
Doing German this way you make it boring for bigginers. Much better to just listen to a native and repeat. You can learn this at a later date.
You can tell you put alot of time and effort into making this video very high quality. Thank you, it was very helpful !
This how a great language course should be like! I will likely watch it 3 or 4 times before I learn everything here. Thank you!
Best german class ever.
Merci de Montréal.

my mother language is arabic but i prefer learn in english for improving it btwThis is the first video i have watched i hope to learn german with u, i really wanna learn german i need that ,and thanks a lot for your efforts
Me too
Absolutely great German language teaching style & presentation - First time viewer but I'm Hooked - pls continue your great teaching !
Thank you very much. You are too kind.
Dankeschön Herr Antrim, I have found the challenge fun and interesting. You are a top teacher and I’m finding all the question and work sheets fantastic. I’m so glad I invested in the eBook it has supplemented the lessons brilliantly. Again thank you from Australia 🇦🇺 😀
Thank you! 😃
Bravo, Mr. Antrim, Sie sind ein guter Lehrer.
⚠️ It's always easier to learn a language from non native teachers, they know exactly what we need to learn, and the difficulties a beginner will face. It's always easier to understand, because the words are so well pronounced. Often, a native person talks not so clear. This happens in any language. And I can say that, because I'm Brazilian, I speak Portuguese. I can clearly see the small difference, but the teacher here has an excellent pronounce. I wish all German people could speak so clear, but on daily life, even the easier phrases are not said so clear. If you're an advanced student, well, you can continue learning from a native person. This video is a true treasure for all foreign people beginning to study German. 🙏🙏👍❤️
thank you for your series of complete courses :) it's been very helpful in retaining some basic german fluency during my semester breaks. i look forward to the B1 follow-up if you intend on making one!
Thank you so much for this! I'm learning German as a fourth language (besides Arabic, French and English) and it's such a helpful video.
Your achievement Sir, is that one wishes to hear more and more of you, simultaneously informative and highly entertaining. If (a big IF) as a result, I succeed in learning German, it will be my first foreign language, since I learned English. If I don't, whoever's fault it might be, it emphatically won't be yours. Frank
Thank you very much. I'm glad to help. Let me know if you need any assistance along the way.
This is by far the most useful teaching approach I’ve found for learning the basics of German. Thank you
Glad you think so!
It took me 6 months to watch this. Seems that it was out longer. I didn’t think I would ever watch this but I still had it in my Watch Later 😂. I needed this of course. I feel good now. I’m glad for the protection from someone else rather than my typical grounding routine.
Genuinely excellent video, thank you so much for this - I hope TH-cam really pushes this!
Thank you.
Thank you. Just found you on YT. I studied German when I was in the navy and we were slated to go to Hamburg. I am entirely self-taught and thus I take all the credit, or as the case may be, the blame. Other than Guten Tag, Guten Abent, and Auf wiedersehn, the only thing I remember from those dim and dusty days are, Wie viel costet der kohl. Hope to rectify that starting now. Also subbed.
Good luck and let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
I have listened to many German lessons on TH-cam. This is the most easiest to understand.
Danke. Das freut mich.
Thank you very much Mr. Antrim! I work in a Cruise ship with 100% German guest and watching your videos enriched my knowledge in German Language. Your explanafion is very clear. Super!
Your videos are perfect ! Seriously ! It saves months of studying ! Danke schön !
This is a lot of stuff duolingo was missing, I will definitely be going over this during the next few weeks, thanks for posting this!
Thank you, Mr. Antrim, for this video. I am learning so much from this. You're a wonderful teacher.
I can't thank you enough for making this amazing video sir ! from the order of the lessons to the examples and those skits ! (without forgetting the great sense of humor ! ) your work is immensely appreciated ! =)
You're very welcome!
It's been 6 years that i'm lerning german and I think i learned more in this video
Thank you
Not even learning German, but the effort and amazing teaching in this makes me want to learn. I wish all languages were taught this clearly. And for free!
Thank you, I'm learning Spanish right now, and I plan on learning German. This video will definitely help me with the basics. I appreciate that you took the time to make this. Much love!
brilliant teacher with a wonderful course. Thanks a lot
You are very welcome. Thanks for learning German with me. Let me know if there is anything else I can do to help you along your German learning journey.
@@MrLAntrim if it is possible can you make a video on hard words to write and pronounce please
Okay, I have watched numerous Learn German videos here on TH-cam!
I am only 12 minutes into this video and feel I wasted so much time until now!
This is without a doubt the BEST and can see how much it will help as I listen to the end.
Thank you so much Herr Antrim!!!
This is very valuable for self teachers like myself, it gives me some structure to follow 😁
I´ve been learning with Duolingo for months...But this is the course I really needed! Explanation of grammar, examples and good pronounciation!! Thank you so much
Glad it was helpful!
Are you still learning German? How’s it going?
@@zmir01 yes, but not so regularly, only when I have time... It's a difficult language.
As a German this is really well explained! I’m sure it helps a lot to learn it!
Thank you so much for this video... I will soon be in A2 and this video really helped me so much especially on my pronunciation.
Vielen Dank Herr Antrim.
You ARE a Genius sir!! Many many Endless thanks never came across something as good as this
Already loving this, even though I'm still on the pronunciation sections. Thank you for your content, and for making things easy to learn!
I'm glad you like it! Thank you so much!
Thanks you're doing a great job explaining this. I often use this to keep track of and refresh my knowledge when I'm away from Germany or not in a German course.
Thank you for this great work.
This is a lot of great information. You deserve many, many more views.
Thank you very much. I agree, but there is only so much I can do about that. 😁
Hello, Here Antrim
I have never seen a teacher take time to build up a class as good as you do in this video.
I recommend this video to any living creatures that want to learn German with confidence. Bravo. Merci. Gracias.
Thank you very much.
The positive attitude and friendly character was what I liked most. I also love how this video is 3 hours instead of 6 30min different videos where I need to find and watch them in order. Danke, Herr Antrim.
Glad to help.
Herr Antrim, thank you for all the effort you put into teaching in your videos! After I finished the German course on Duolingo, I realized I had a basic grasp of the language, but still not enough vocabulary to be able to read German children's books, or really feel comfortable having a real time dialogue with my friend in Germany. Your videos, as well as some of the channels you recommended, have helped me understand a lot of the why's and how's of the language that I didn't pick up from Duolingo.
Your video about spelling and pronunciation (especially regarding ridiculously long compound words) actually brought me to a question: can ANY German nouns be used to form a compound word, or are there notable exceptions? And are there specific rules when making a compound word? I've noticed some that seem to have extra letters between the individual nouns.
Thanks again, looking forward to more videos! Keep up the good work!
01:43:17 It is "Das" and not "Der" Opfer. Having said this, in the beginning you say that learning the Alphabet is useless and then you go ahead and go over each letter, which is basically the same thing as learning the alphabet. Or is it not. I am teaching some people German and I find it super useful for them to actually know how each letter is pronounced. Afterall, isn't German spoken phonetically the whole time!?
@@herrweiss2580 Thanks for pointing it out. Autocorrect got the best of me...
I very much enjoyed this. Thank you very much!
(I watched this because I am going in for my A1 this next week and wanted to catch up. I have learned mostly by osmosis so far and now I can go in and hopefully pass the test. The course helped me confirm I can do relatively well with the basics, but also taught me a bunch of things I was missing, so thank you!)
Ich möchte sie für dieses wundervolle Video bedanken ich habe aus diese kurze tv Show mehr deutsch gelernt als in meine gesamte leben.
Aus eine Wunder heraus verstehe ich plötzlich jede deutsche Wort.
thank you Herr, time for spend all day learning german
After listening for few minutes, I decided to subscribe. Hope I can learn the basic german here.
Awesome. Welcome aboard.

Hallo Herr Antrim, viele Grüße aus Hessen. In unserem Bundesland gibt es noch einen speziellen Gruß, den Sie Ihrer Liste vielleicht noch hinzufügen können:
Gude = Kurzform von Guten Tag
(Ei), gude wie = Kurzform von Guten Tag, wie geht's
Die zweite Variante ist allerdings nicht so häufig anzutreffen, da der Mensch in der Alltagssprache natürlich dazu neigt, die kürzeste Variante zu bevorzugen.
