just remember that ich_iel has a lot of fun with literal translations of english words which can lead to very weird german.

Nur erinnere, dass ich_iel ein Los des Spaßes mit literarischen Übersetzungen von englischen Wörtern hat, was zu seltsamen Deutsch bleien kann.

This will all just lead to an increase in suffering 😢

nie.

please be advised that speaking german properly is super fucking hard compared to learning many other languages, and you don't need german in germany for the most part.

when I'm in germany I speak my shitty, broken german and they respond to me in english

[-] sanguinepar@lemmy.world 24 points 5 months ago

That's when you double down and tell them in German that you don't speak English. That'll confuse 'em.

[-] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 months ago

I, a white man, would love to learn to speak German with an Indian accent just to really fuck with 'em

They probably speak English with you because your German is not sufficiently efficient.

Does anyone know what is the deal with the images (I assume it’s some kind of German meme) of people or characters with instant ramen on their head?

[-] instantnudel@feddit.org 40 points 5 months ago

The noodles are just my signature. So just ignore the noodels. They have nothing todo with the meme directly. I just place them on the head of whoever in the meme is me.

Might be the wrong answer, but I think it's kind of a signature of the creator... Sth with insta in his name

[-] instantnudel@feddit.org 14 points 5 months ago

Ding ding ding You are Correct!! :D All the memes with instant noodels are from me. Its my signature. :)

I was thinking about it for a while. The posts encouraged me. The prospect of possibly wanting to leave the US in the next year or two depending on things also makes me want to learn a second language.

Number of German-language posts? I'm somehow not seeing those. I am however a native speaker of German already, so no need anymore to learn it.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 12 points 5 months ago

Sort by Top Six Hours, and they will start showing. !ich_iel@feddit.de shows up frequently there.

I'd be interested in learning, because German is the biggest contributor to modern English along with French. Of course the split happened long, long ago, but still...

It would have to be a couple years though, after I (knock on wood) am done getting to about B2/C1 on French.

I find it hard to imagine learning a language that I don't foresee myself using at least once a week IRL

I've tried learning French and German but honestly I very rarely encounter speakers of those languages and can count on one hand the number that didn't also speak English.

I've been learning Spanish though for nearly a year to great success.

Don't learn german. As a german I always feel sorry for people who learn this language just for 80 million old people ^^

[-] zaphod@sopuli.xyz 15 points 5 months ago

As a german I have to say learn whatever language you want, even if nobody speaks it.

Huh? Wo sind die posts? Where are they?

I was learning it (super slowly, thanks ADHD) anyway, but it was when I finally read a 3-sentence long post and could read 90% of it without really thinking about it that I felt I was progressing at all

So of course I haven't practiced in weeks now, fuuck

[-] Toes@ani.social 8 points 5 months ago

What are you subscribed to, to be seeing that many?

I think I've seen a couple tops in recent memory.

[-] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 10 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago)

Depends on how you sort. If you sort by "top of last 1/6 hours" you will see lots of stuff from other languages.

[-] Zagorath@aussie.zone 7 points 5 months ago

I browse by All with the Hot sort.

I see German posts constantly. I think because they might not be language tagged correctly?

[-] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 7 points 5 months ago

Not making the language tag mandatory is one of the bigger lost chances of Lemmy. I can't even select it in my client.

A better reason to learn it is that anything you say in German sounds like swearing.

No, but I've seen a few French posts (nowhere near as much as German) and it's been a good chance to practise my French.
