I’m sturggling with German in school and so I thought that consuming any media that is German must help. It actually doesn’t, but occasionally I manage to somehow translate a meme and then I get the funnies.
Believe me, it’s a good tactic, I got quite profficient in english that way, you just need to find interesting media, you’ll learn it in no time!
- halvar ( @halvar@lemm.ee ) 15•25 days ago
Yes, it’s literally the way I have learned English. But German media is so scarce it’s not even funny.
I reccommend the tv show “der Tatortreiniger”, it’s a scarce example of good original german Television.
- Prunebutt ( @Prunebutt@slrpnk.net ) 13•25 days ago
It’s usually also not that good. But Germans dub everything. The German dub of Cowboy Bebop is actually really good. (IMHO: better than any sub-translator)
Also, if you’re into old games: The gothic series is from Germany and therefore full of fully voiced German.

German dubs are pretty much the best there are
- halvar ( @halvar@lemm.ee ) 4•25 days ago
I have experiences opposing this to the point where I don’t think I can get myself to watch anything with German dubs ever again. Most words spoken in English will have an equivalent in German that’s three times longer so the lipsync always looks very weird. At least as far as I’ve seen.

I’m actually working on a startup idea that is exactly this. But i get lazy sometimes, it has been in a “just a couple more weeks and it’s ready” state for a few months now. Maybe ill share it with you once i manage to finish it

And you probably don’t even get the puns by translating, right? If someone doesn’t know German, they wouldn’t understand how much it störs?

What we do is called “Zangendeutsch”, which means, that we force translate everything into German, even if the translation is absolute bullshit or completely wrong.

I got some of that, but there are posts in here where I have zero idea what’s going on even knowing the source English meme text.
It reminds me a bit of engrish aka English texts in Japan. Though those are more generally humorous at their literal meanings.
Aber, Danke für die Erklärung!
