I met an exchange student from German back in 2010 I would love to learn German case I met more German people which I'm hoping I love meeting all nationalities😊 I'm an proud language learner
Of the many useful videos you have made this is right up there with the top ones, and I think the whole video series will turn out to be a great idea. You hit the nail on the head: A big step in sounding more fluent in any language is understanding the variations of common words and when and how to use them correctly. I liked this video very much. Ich bin dir sehr dankbar!
Yes. I don't know my "entschuldigen" from tutting my leid. Also how to politely say get out of the way, like when trying to get out of a crowded train or elevator.
My father was in the Army , and was stationed in Germany while I was ages 5-8 years old. I absolutely loved it! I had a German teacher who taught us the language. I used to remember the words that we were taught in school, but since living in south Texas where so many people speak Tex/Mex, or Spanish I’ve forgotten most of the German language.
When I spent some time in Germany, I couldn't quite figure out when to use dankeshoen or vielen dank. It seemed that locals in the Frankfurt area were most likely to use vielen dank, but I wasn't sure if there was a subtle context that I was missing.
Dominik: I tend to say the same words over and over again. Dominik: *also casually says repertoire, a word I had to look up how to spell as a native English speaker*
Excellent idea for a video series, though. There are any number of common phrases that would help us expand our vocabulary. This is particularly true with modern, informal German. Thanks for taking the time.
As my family name, Seidl, would tell most Germans, my family is Austro-Bavarian. I'm accustomed to Vergelt's Gott. I figured it to be older: Oma and Opa emigrated in the 1910's. But, when I lived in Germany, in the 1980's, "vielen dank," was common (RheinPhalz).
Great idea to make these new series! I can't wait for the upcoming videos! Ideas: 1. Common everyday phrases (with context)? 2. Another example is to take ''es tut mir leid'' and ''entschuldigung'' and explain the differences (with context/examples) plus other similar words/phrases. 3. Lastly, many ways to say goodbye... Thanks for the content and keep it up! xx
oh god thank you so much for this, i just started working and i keep saying "danke" and "danke sehr" and it's getting super repetitive. i'll definitely use some of the stuff you mentioned in the video!
I can't believe this is my first time seeing "gleichfalls" spelled out 😂 I always heard it more like a "gleichweis(e)". I can't believe I never questioned if I heard it right 🙄😂
I always used dankeshön. Seemed to be a safe way to say thank you. Whenever i would try to speak German, i would always get replies back in English 🤷♀️
My friends are curious to know, if they went to germany and tried speaking the language to a fellow german, but arent good at it, would local germans take offense? or be admired at the attempt?
Au contraire! They love it! I speak pretty good, grammatically correct, with a fairly good accent. I was on a train once in Germany and struck up a conversation with the guy sitting next to me. After about an hour of "plaudern" he used an English phrase with a perfect American accent. I then switched to English and told him why was I breaking my teeth speaking German. He said, that it was so nice to hear a foreign speaker speaking such good German.
I really like the sound of Herzlichen dank. Would that be considered formal or informal or not really used at all? In the U.S., I would say Heartfelt thanks in a greeting card to someone in a more formal way.
I’m not gonna lie when he was talking about the “feeling” of saying a word so many times it sounds odd I was fully expecting him to bust out a long ass German word that translates to “the feeling you get when you say a word to many times.” 😂😂😂
now will there be an episode on "Ich heiße..."? To me it sounds so standard, are there other commons ways to introduce yourself or is it mainly that one?
Hi Dominik! Would you please explain how to use the expression 'ich bedanke mich.../wir bedanken uns...' - what preposition should follow? And is it highly formal? Thanks a lot!
m actually waiting for ' vielen dank'
I needed to leave something for you guys to comment on 😁💜
Thats also very standard

Part of my ancestors are German so I’ve always felt a bond with Germans, and their customs.

Dankeschön Dominik!! Veilleicht könntest Du andere Alternativen für "es tut mir leid" erwähnen.
Yes. I don't know my "entschuldigen" from tutting my leid. Also how to politely say get out of the way, like when trying to get out of a crowded train or elevator.
"Entschuldigung, ich muss hier raus." or "Darf ich bitte" while already starting to squeeze your arm through the crowd
@@Gaathe11 Thank you. That's handy to know! :)
For me, Vielen Dank is the most used way to say thanks
I was waiting Herzlichen Danke.
Gerne 😊
Hab auch dara6f gewartet, ❤lichen Dank für die vielen Variationen.
Hahaha, Dominic you're so fun! Thank you! Oder, Dankeschön!

Keep up with this series as it will definitely level up my German and rescue me of awkward situations.
New video coming up Saturday at 6pm Germany time! 🇩🇪😁

That's because it's a french word 😂
Danke for the video
Tausend dank; dankeshön.

Tausend Dank wie auf Franzōsisch, mille merci!!
3:07. Wow. That's the standard norwegian "thank you very much" (tusen takk). Would have never expected germans used it as well.
That's fascinating actually 😊
When I was a kid Tusen tack (Swedish) seemed super common, but as an adult I like never hear it in use anymore. Is it still common in Norway today?
When I lived in Berlin I used to say schönen Dank
We lived in the Black Forest and I remember my mother saying this.
Vielen lieben herzlichen Dank 😁
Tolles Video! I thought I knew all levels of Thank you, turns out there are even more from what I thought. The more you know...
Vielen dank
Danke dir aufmerksam für dieser Unterricht! :) Ich habe Dankeschön und danke sehr vielmals im Freiburg Benutzt mit meine Freunden.

Great video! This is important information when you are trying to communicate and the other person is being patient with your efforts.😊
Great idea to make these new series! I can't wait for the upcoming videos!

ich danke ihnen! you are an excellent teacher. more lessons please!!
oh god thank you so much for this, i just started working and i keep saying "danke" and "danke sehr" and it's getting super repetitive. i'll definitely use some of the stuff you mentioned in the video!
This was really helpful and useful. Vielen dank. ☺️ I'm looking forward to more of these videos. ☺ 👍🏽
Merci vielmals!
Ich bedanke mich sehr dafür! Sehr nett von Ihnen! :-)
er... Thank you for this! I'm slowly trying to learn German... this was very helpful :)
One downvote refuses to use anything other than "Danke"...
Herzlichen Dank! Ein weiteres tolles Video 😀👍🏼
Please, make a video like a "small polite talk" with all phrases thank you, you are welcome and so. Think it'll be really interesting and helpful)
Tausend Dank!
For this vid, Danke, sehr aufmerksam
Sehr gerne! 😊
Danke! Thank you for vídeo. Please make another video showing How to say "you are wellcome" in Deutsch
I can't believe this is my first time seeing "gleichfalls" spelled out 😂 I always heard it more like a "gleichweis(e)". I can't believe I never questioned if I heard it right 🙄😂
Haha, same here with the -weis at the end :) I figured out the right spelling almost two years later after we moved to Germany )))
I like it when someone curses you out, and then you reply with Gleichfalls.
because you're probably attuned to hearing "likewise" as an English speaker and it sounds similar. It happens. :-D
Danke dir / Besten Dank im Voaraus
I always used dankeshön. Seemed to be a safe way to say thank you. Whenever i would try to speak German, i would always get replies back in English 🤷♀️
Danke Vielmals
I use danke and thank you interchangeably
I usually say Dankeschön, but I didn't know many of those! 😊😊 this will be very useful to me, vielen Dank!
Es sei ihnen gedankt.
What about "danke, ebenfalls?"
My friends are curious to know, if they went to germany and tried speaking the language to a fellow german, but arent good at it, would local germans take offense? or be admired at the attempt?
I believe most Germans would like that you're making an effort and try to help you 😊
@@GetGermanized Good to know!
My experience living there, and with Germans visiting here, I've never known one to be offended. Most are willing, though not pushy, to help.
Au contraire! They love it! I speak pretty good, grammatically correct, with a fairly good accent. I was on a train once in Germany and struck up a conversation with the guy sitting next to me. After about an hour of "plaudern" he used an English phrase with a perfect American accent. I then switched to English and told him why was I breaking my teeth speaking German.

Ich bedanke mich bei dir/Ihnen ?

I have been using vielen dank when I wanted to say thank you very much. Is this incorrect?
That's fine 😊
keine "Vielen Dank" ?

, ich auch! ;)
Hi Dominik! Would you please explain how to use the expression 'ich bedanke mich.../wir bedanken uns...' - what preposition should follow? And is it highly formal? Thanks a lot!
Wie seltsam klingt es einem "sehr dank" statt "dank sehr"?
Hey dominik great video as people said in other comments is vielen danke mostly used in the south?
In German, do objects that start with 'der' become 'den' when they are pluralised?
how about Ich Bedanke mich bei dir?
I'd live to know about this as well ... Although "bei dir" is a twist I have only rarely heard.

Hi, is Vielen Dank is a formal way to say thank you?
It can be :) Even more formal would be "Haben Sie vielen Dank".
Is that an FA-100 in the background?
The guitar, that is
Dankeschon
How can i say:thanks anyway un German.
Can you say vielen danke? Or is it just vielen dank?
It's just "Vielen Dank" :)
What about, panzer? Like we say colloquially, tanks. :)
You’re worried about your English?? 😂 dude you are completely fluent!
Isn't Dankeshön more common in Austria than in Germany, or am I totally wrong?

Careful dude. English 'Thanks a bunch' is used sarcastically.
Vielen dank

Bitte sehr! 😊
