As a native German I’m soo impressed by your German. Your pronunciation is so good and you even include slag is just so impressive to me. I love listening to your German it sounds so pretty and nice and you have such a good accent.
Hey!!! you must go in Italy on the Adriatic sea Riviera where there are all Germans in vacation...there they all speak a 'perfect' german....i suggest you to go at the 'Hotel Beau Soleil' in the village Zadina Pineta of Cesenatico....the owner Dante Del Vecchio and Andrea Farabegoli...will make you forget Elysses and her 'small' german...i regret...assuming that in the University of Milan Faculty of Philosophy are all Germanists....the Professors i i mean...ok?☺
@@Annikidiary you don't understand ...ok...but what...you 'Germans' make vacations in that place....'Zadina Pineta of Cesenatico' and it is common there to speak your native language....meseems clear what i say...it is normal there to speak german better than Elysses...or to buy german newspapers there...thanks for having replied

some notes: "eine Beziehung mit" sounds like a proper boy-girl-relationship. "eine Beziehung zu" can be used for people you are close to but not romantically involved with and things and abstract concepts like art or something. "ein Bezug zu" and "eine Bindung zu" are pretty much identical to "eine Beziehung zu". "Beziehung" and "Bezug" sound most natural with "eng", "Bindung" with "tief". a boy's father figure would be "die männliche Bezugsperson". if you have a pet you could say "Ich habe eine enge Beziehung/eine tiefe Bindung zu meinem Hund/meiner Katze aufgebaut.", "Ich habe einen engen Bezug/eine tiefe Bindung zu meinem Hund/meiner Katze." "Bezug" would also be like relation. "A hat keinen Bezug zu B." --> "A has no relation to B." "Im Bezug auf.../Bezugnehmend auf.../Bezüglich des (genitive) BLAHBLAH..." --> "Regarding/in regard to/ in relation to BLAHBLAH..." hope this was sufficiently confusing... oh, and "jemanden anrempeln" is to bump into or jostle someone. and for towns: you could say "eine kleine Stadt" and "eine große Stadt". it's just unnatural. use "eine Kleinstadt" and "eine Großstadt". keep up the good work!👍
Komplimente!!!! Your German is astounishing!!! "PRIMA" "PRIMA" i am still learning but i follow for example 'die Bundestag debatte im Parlament" and other programs 'sendungen'....ok?

I use Linguno for French. I find it very helpful. It helped me figure out that vocabulary-wise I'm around a B1 level. I really need to focus on my vocabulary.

I guess the AI corrected the wohnte to haben gewohnt because you asked for more natural. In speech we use the perfect like 99% of the time but in a story, book, maybe even diary entry we would maybe also use the simple past. I felt like wohnte sounded fine but if i would tell this story to anyone i would have used the perfect tense
Hallo, und Guten tag. German is so fun. Started learning Spanish for 9months straight, then tried out German, out of curiosity (with no intention of actually falling in love with it) and learned the basics quicker than Spanish. Took only 4 months of passively practicing, to learn the basics. Would've never imaginged. 690days ago today, I was monolinguel. Rock on. Du hast es dir selbst beigebracht (im guessing). Deutsch is schwierig aber es macht wirklich Spaß.
Hallo! 😊 Ich komme aus Süddeutschland und benutze das Imperfekt beim Sprechen so gut wie gar nicht (außer von "sein", "haben", "werden" und vielleicht ein paar anderen Verben oder in bestimmten Kontexten, die mir gerade nicht einfallen). In Norddeutschland wird das Imperfekt in der gesprochenen Sprache häufiger verwendet. Beim Schreiben (von formellen Texten) verwendet man auch im Süden eher das Imperfekt. In informellen Texten aber nicht. Es ist ein interessantes Thema. 😊
Felicitaciones, Elysse! Gracias por compartir este vídeo. Quería preguntarte, ¿sigues el mismo método para cada nuevo idioma o con cada idioma ha sido algo distinto? Estoy iniciando mi aventura con el alemán, de momento estoy estudiando por medio de "German with Ease" de Assimil. ¿Alguna recomendación? ¡Muchas gracias de nuevo!
Hello, I wanted to know your study method for learning languages, maybe a video about this would be good, I want to learn English but I don't know where to start.
Heyy I have a question, how do u stay fluent in every language u speak as a polyglot?? Cuz i am on my 5th language (Russian) while I am able to speak Arabic, French, English and Spanish, but my Arabic started to fade in time cuz I've been focusing on the other language so much so like do u just focus on again on your language or smt like that??
I can read the German language moderately, and it’s kinda easy. The German language has a reputation of sounding angry, harsh and aggressive. Let me explain some of the German language pronunciation: the German ‘W’ is pronounced just like an English ‘V’, the German ‘V’ is pronounced just like an English ‘F’, the German ‘sch’ is pronounced just like an English ‘sh’, and the German ‘tsch’ is just pronounced like an English ‘ch’, and finally the German ‘ch’ is pronounced just like an English ‘kh’ sound.
Thanks for your great videos! They help me a lot finding tipps and tools in my spanish learning journey. I probably finally need to face the ligoda sprint now ;) Did you check out Teacher AI? Absolutely crazy for having conversations with AI. I am native german so let me tell you: your accent is amazing. usually you can instantly identify a native english speaker speaking german. With your accent I wouldn't be able to. Really good. Simple past vs. perfect: both is right - you can use both. "Damals wohnten wir in einem Hotel" AND "damals haben wir in einem Hotel gewohnt" is absolutely correct. Just use whatever comes to mind, there are also no rules like in spanish where you use perfect more for things that have a relationship to the present. maybe you can say that simple past is more used in story telling and a bit less colloquial "umgangssprachlich". So if you write an essay you could use both whilst in an everyday chat you almost never use simple past (but you can use it and it wouldn't be considered as awkward or wrong). So conclusion: Just use whatever comes to mind. my opinion ;) Hope that helps.
The use of Präteritum (simple past) vs. Perfekt is unclear even to native speakers of German, so first: relax. Second, in spoken and non-literary written language, I think I (as a native speaker) always use the Perfekt. I can't think of an example where this would be wrong right now. If I find one later, I'll comment on this comment. Literary language uses the Präteritum, and from what I remember from French, it might be roughly comparable to how the passé simple is used there. Finally, I have heard people say that there are regional differences in the use of Präteritum vs. Perfekt. I honestly am not sure about that, to me it's more about people trying to sound fancy and therefore using the Präteritum. This is all language intuition from a native speaker who has some experience learning foreign languages and took some linguistics classes in university. If you want to know what prescriptive grammarians of German say about this, check the DUDEN grammar. Your pronunciation of German is fantastic, by the way. With some passages of this video you would pass as a native speaker, mostly because of that.

Du hast es dir selbst beigebracht (im guessing). Deutsch is schwierig aber es macht wirklich Spaß.
"Du bist selbst beigebracht." use either "Du bist Autodidakt." or "Du hast es dir selbst beigebracht." the rest is solid.

The habit of not taking the last bite is also quite common in Germany. It's called "Anstandsrest" or "Anstandsbissen". 😁
I've said it once, gonna say it again. I LOVE vlogs!! e ainda mais quando são language vlogs!!
I was told that the simple past is more used like in books, the news, more formal...

the german ch is rlly only similar to the english kh in words like acht or kuchen that have a hard ch
