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!
Yes, it’s literally the way I have learned English. But German media is so scarce it’s not even funny.
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.
I reccommend the tv show “der Tatortreiniger”, it’s a scarce example of good original german Television.
German dubs are pretty much the best there are
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

100% englisch? Dünnes Eis zwiebel. Dünnes Eis!
7x “Sprich” ergibt immerhin eine Deutsch-Quote von ~27%
Danke mein lieber Hofmathematiker. Das eis hat sich damit um 27% verdickt.
Aber zwiebel pass trotzdem auf 😤

I don’t follow this sub, and still getting german posts on a regular basis
Legit tempted to learn German because the meme pool is so dam high
If some volunteers always translated and explained the posts on this sub that go over 100 upvotes I would’ve known German by now.

Google translate is a lifesaver.
These German folks have funnier memes.
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?

I enjoy trying to puzzle posts and comments put from my Duolingo tier knowledge and context clues. On the few occasions I’ve asked about something grammar wise everyone was very polite and helpful. Top tier community
Top tier homie.

As a non-german-speaker, I feel like I get plenty of good laughs out of ich_iel. I only feel like I’m missing out on some of the best posts.
No worries. As a near-native German speaker, I struggle.
As a native German speaker I struggle too
I studied German around 20 years ago, but have forgotten most of it. It’s fun to see what I can still understand when posts pop up.
i like looking at your funny word memes and imagining what it could be about
If you have two possibilitys what a meme could be about, its always the one thats more stupid.

I thought I knew German decently, this place has made my brain hurt.
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.
evenespecially if the translation is absolute bullshit or completely wrong.FTFY
Ihr übersetzt es nicht, sondern ihr erfindet ähnlich aussehende deutsche Wörter.
Auch, aber oft sind es nur dumme Übersetzungen.
LOL ok, sehr toll…
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!
