- Learn German with this 13-minute German Conversation for Beginners lesson. In this video, you'll learn 50 basic German phrases to help you learn German fast. Our native English speaker will say each phrase, then our native German speaker will repeat the phrase twice in German.
These casual German phrases are good for friendships, relationships, dating, or just meeting a stranger, who is the same age as you, in a German-speaking country.
In German there are two different ways to translate the word “you”: Formal = Sie, Casual = Du. This video demonstrates a casual conversation between younger people of approximately the same age, so uses “du”. See our comment below for more details.
In German, many job titles have both a masculine and feminine form, with the masculine form being used to describe the occupation in general terms. In this video, the German phrase “Er ist Englischlehrer.” is used for “He is an English teacher”. If the English phrase was “She is an English teacher,” the German phrase would be “Sie ist Englischlehrerin.”
Watching and listening to native German speakers is the fastest way to learn German, so start with this German Conversation for Beginners lesson.

![Learn German (A1): whole movie in German - "Nicos Weg" | Learn German with video [german captions]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/4-eDoThe6qo/mqdefault.jpg)
In German there are two different ways to translate the word “you”: Formal = Sie, Casual = Du.
In face-to-face interactions, the formal "Sie" is the standard way of addressing someone. However, when the person you are speaking to is the same age as you (or younger) and you are pretty young yourself - you could venture to use "du" right away, especially when the setting is relaxed (at a party, in a bar, etc).
In this video, both people are fairly young, and around the same age, so the conversation starts with “du” phrases, although depending on the situation (official/business), it would sometimes start with "Sie” phrases, like:
Wie heißen sie? (What’s your name?)
Sprechen sie Deutsch? (Do you speak German?)
You shouldn’t switch from sie to du without saying anything. Switching to the informal "du" at a official/business setting usually requires that you know and like each other well, at some point one will offer the "du" - traditionally, the older one to the younger one.
If you would address someone in English by saying Sir ___, Mr. X or Mrs. Y, you should use Sie in German.
Children are addressed with "du" by default.
On the internet/social media, the informal "du" is the default form and being addressed with "Sie" is unusual.
as a german person i confirm this to be true
freud tried to understand the teutonic mugglemonster mind and came up with the concept projection. germans tried to exterminate the the jews but what they really wanted was someone to exterminate them! viola! russians almost did but they're too retarded.⚜ german mugglemonsters were being raped and killed by the russians it was what they always wanted that's why they intentionally messed up at dunkirk, at stalingrad, in africa they want us to destroy them because they know they are neanderthals! since they are neanderthals by their dna we can also eat germans right? Because they are animals without human souls since they are neanderthal descendants!
im a swiss person hello Neighbors 😂
Excellently described.
Sie is formal and du is informal.
Always be formal as formal could be used in informal but informal cannot be used in formal.
This applies to dress wear in parties as well.

As someone who is learning german with Duolingo, videos like this is helping me to understand conversations and pronunciations, I just need someone to talk with in german.
duolingo is not a good primary source for learning a language. its more of a game that gives you the illusion that you're learning something, but are actually not. you can easily spend years on duolingo and still not know shit.
Same m also tryna lean german from duolingo
Chat gpt is really good for conversational learning 😊
If anyone is girl we can communicate with each other in Deutschland .if you are a boy check using google

Learning German can be hard and so challenging at first sight but it is an interesting language to learn because it interests me a lot although there are many difficulties to overcome when it comes to diving into the language as well as the culture. German has a complex grammar because it contains four cases, I mean has declensions which can represent a headache, but if I'm willing to put in the effort, there's nothing that stops me from starting learning it. The language has grammatical quirks of course, they're likely to be a little daunting but it's just necessary accepting how its grammatical structure works instead of trying to understand it deeply. This language is one of my target languages certainly, and I would like to organize my schedule rather than having uncertainties for getting into it. English is already my second language, it's not perfect at all and I'm still working on it in order to improve my skills everyday, besides I think that learning and acquiring English is the best choice to start learning other languages that are easy to pick up, because it's like a gateway to discovering the fascinating language learning field and also having more knowledge and curiosities about our giant world. German is undoubtedly an engaging language with a rich history and culture and it's worth learning. I always say to myself "Just keep going" ❤.
German is truly easy😊
@@muhammadfarooq7007 I couldn't agree with you more. I just got my German studies back and I can notice that the language is impressively easy and entertaining to learn.
@angelnikky7000true
Currently learning Germany and I'm a little bit confused especially with verb conjugation and personal pronomen but I hope I'll catch up soon,

German is such a fascinating language! I'm re-learning Spanish with Duolingo. Spanish is a language that I am comfortable learning because I am already familiar with vocabulary and grammar. German is totally outside of my comfort zone, but I want to challenge myself. This video is super helpful!
German learning would be much easier if you are fluent in English, since most of English vocabulary are cognates of German!
English actually is the most beautiful language in the world I love it so much
What is wrong w u
Then wyd here dude
I'm from America, it's really just a language. Since it originally comes English and many words are very similar to German. But personally, Italian is the most beautiful language
Yes . And one of the essay and popular language
@tymoralabbas1382
instead of essay, easiest is the correct word here!
"one of the easiest and most popular languages"
Oh mein Gott, vielen Dank, ich hatte Schwierigkeiten, Englisch zu lernen, vielen Dank ❤
I feel like German is easy maybe it’s because I know English and also arabic so I don’t have a problem with the pronunciation even when I stop learning German I don’t forget most of the words, unlike other languages. I just need motivation to continue learning the language
