Hello everyone, we want to give us a question today, which you have already asked very often, namely, how long it takes to learn German?
2
Eric, you are a teacher of German, you have often taught teaching and concept, and I ask myself, can you answer this question even pauschal?
3
Yes, it would be great if we could answer this question so quickly and eindeutig beantworten könnten, können wir aber leider natürlich nicht.
4
Sprachen lernen, das hängt natürlich von ganz verschiedenen Faktoren ab, wie schnell das dann eigentlich geht.
5
Zum einen ist es die Zeit, die man im Alltag hat.
6
Dann ist auch noch wichtig, wo lerne ich die Sprache überhaupt?
7
Lerne ich die in Deutschland oder Schweiz oder in Österreich oder lerne ich die im Ausland?
8
Und am wichtigsten ist wahrscheinlich die eigene Motivation.
9
Also ich brauche ja ein Ziel oder einen Grund, aus from which I learn the language, and if I don't have it,
10
it's probably quite difficult with the effective and slow English learning.
11
There are also different factors that influence the time, also how long you need to learn German.
12
And even if there is no pauschal answer, we want to look at what factors affect your language learning?
13
And we start now with a few of you to hear.
14
We asked you, since when learning German?
15
And when did you have the first time that you felt like now I can understand myself in German?
16
How long have you learned German?
17
Ah, since five years.
18
How long have you learned German?
19
More than ten years, I would say.
20
A few years, but intensively since two years.
21
How long have you learned German? About a year.
22
Also, I've learned since seven years, I think, but I really need to learn German for a long time.
23
My mistake was, at the beginning, everything was for me in English.
24
Also, my friends are from different countries and we speak English together.
25
And then I worked in Startups and everything was in English.
26
And I think, you need a little bit of love for this language, that was always a battle for me.
27
But after about five years, I think I have it now and everything is easier.
28
When did you feel like my German is good enough enough, so that I can understand, so that I can speak German?
29
Yes, it comes to mind how intensive you learn the language.
30
For me personally, it takes about eight months.
31
So I came to Germany and then I started learning German, and then I was in a school intensive course.
32
And then we just started, because we had to speak German.
33
Our German teacher could not speak English, and so we started to speak German.
34
But then Michu with English and also handsprache.
35
And then we started to speak German.
36
And I think it's a bit easier to speak with people in German
37
if you know that other people can't speak perfectly in German and then you don't have this fear.
38
Yeah, exactly.
39
That's the situation where you are just happy that you understand.
40
And then you don't care.
41
Yeah, I think that was in between six or nine months after I started.
42
Because I always tried to speak with people in German and I didn't have any fear to have on German speaking?
43
Honestly, it is difficult to remember exactly the time, but I think...
44
Can you remember yourself not to remember a story, where you thought...
45
Yes, that was after I started my education and then I was forced to speak with the children and then,
46
yes, that was already the time when I built my own self -awareness.
47
I have seen so many easy German videos
48
and then I was here in the Meetup and that was in May this year, I think.
49
And then I spoke the whole time German, without thinking too much.
50
And I thought, okay, I have it.
51
Also, I have it achieved.
52
And now I do my work.
53
And that is for me a total big step.
54
And that freut me.
55
Erik, what I found interesting about these answers was how different it was.
56
Some of you people learn very intensively German and can start to speak after a few weeks or months.
57
And other people don't have so much time to focus on German
58
and then actually need several years you before they really have the feeling, now I can talk to myself.
59
Yes, it shows that if you have a goal or a reason why you learn German,
60
that then it's easier to learn German.
61
If you learn for the university or for the university, then you have this great goal and can work on it.
62
But there are also people who have this great goal so to say, not have and they for themselves, maybe as a hobby, they learn German,
63
without that they have something to achieve or have to do it.
64
And if you're to these people, then it's, I believe, it's important that you set yourself up to your learning process.
65
That can be said that you're going to say that you're going to say that you're going to restaurant on German,
66
or that you can also say that you're going to and then step -by -step work on it.
67
That's a super tip.
68
We want to look at the time again, because it's not so that you can't do anything.
69
If you go to a school and visit a course, then there are certain days for certain levels.
70
And I want to know from you, Eric, how long does it take, until you have a B1 -Niveau erreicht?
71
B1 is the third level level, where you can speak.
72
I have this for you with the mathematics.
73
Let's take an example, you make an Abend course, that's about two times two hours per week, and you want to achieve B1,
74
then it takes about 100 weeks, so that's pretty long, that's about two years.
75
Wow.
76
On the other hand, if you want to make an Intensiv course, and you want C1 to achieve, that would be your goal.
77
Then I can give you good news.
78
Theoretically, you could in 7 ,5 months with an Intensiv course, 30 Stunden per week, C1 to achieve.
79
But that would probably make the most possible.
80
That's crazy.
81
Also man sieht richtig, wie unterschiedlich diese Zahlen sind und es hängt wirklich davon ab, wie viel Zeit ihr einsetzt.
82
Macht euch also keine Sorgen, wenn ihr jetzt sagt, ich habe gar nicht so viel Zeit, ich kann nicht jeden Tag acht Stunden lernen, ich kann nur mal drei Stunden am Wochenende machen,
83
dann ist es auch völlig okay, wenn das Ganze ein bisschen Zeit kostet.
84
Wir machen eine kurze Pause und in dieser Pause will ich mal schauen, woran Manuel gerade arbeitet.
85
Du, ich bereite gerade meine Aufgabe für die 30 -Day -Challenge vor.
86
30 -Day -Challenge?
87
Das klingt aber interessant.
88
Was ist denn das?
89
Ist das auch für unsere Zuschauer interessant?
90
Ja, wir wollen euch im Januar motivieren, ein bisschen Deutsch zu üben jeden Tag.
91
Ich zeig dir mal, wie das konkret funktioniert.
92
Jeden Tag posten wir eine kleine Aufgabe.
93
Letztes Jahr hast du an Tag 3 zum Beispiel gefragt,
94
what you like to eat and then also um a photo and a little text.
95
So you get every day a small task from us, 5 -15 minutes a day, to practice your German.
96
Look, Manuel, I ate tacos in Mexico.
97
Lecker!
98
We are also here with the 30 -day challenge.
99
Everything you have to do is become a member of Easy German.
100
This is great, because you will get a lot of other things to learn German.
101
And the link for this is here in the description below, there are all the links.
102
Back to the topic, we have already learned that it can vary from many factors, how fast you learn a language.
103
One of the most important factors is time.
104
You can see how much time you have, faster or slower progress.
105
Motivation is also very important, we have talked about it.
106
And next we want to look at the methods, because there are different ways to learn German.
107
We asked the people at our Easy German Meetup in Berlin, which techniques and methods they actually use German.
108
And it was really interesting to see how diverse these techniques and methods are.
109
Let's see.
110
Let's go.
111
Let's go.
112
Let's go.
113
Let's go.
114
Let's go.
115
Let's go.
116

117

118

119

120

121

122

123

124

125

126

127
Let's go.
128
Let's go.
129
Let's go.
130
Let's go.
131
Let's go.
132
Let's go everything to produce, what I've already done in the video.
133
That's what I learned very well.
134
That's a great idea, yes.
135
I think I learned it myself and I had a lot of motivation for it.
136
And I always learned, I would watch videos and always do it again, because people speak.
137
I always wanted to have a good accent, so to speak, how you speak.
138
And always to speak with other people to speak.
139
Also, don't have any fear.
140
The best method for me was my trip to Germany.
141
In Poland, you have to do everything correctly, so that you have to do the grammatical and that you have to do with Dativ and with Akkusativ.
142
But what really is important in Germany is that you speak.
143
Also, it doesn't matter if I make a mistake or not,
144
so far the people can understand me, that's all.
145
I've tried so much, and I think it's a mix of everything.
146
Also, videos to watch, films to watch, music to hear and also to write,
147
that's also my problem, but really like a day book or so and everything I think, just to write and also a bit on German.
148
I do that of course on Polish, sometimes I do that on English, but if I really speak to myself,
149
Maybe that sounds crazy, but then I can say, okay, how is this on German?
150
And then I look at Google Translate or so and then I can speak more.
151
So maybe a mix for everything.
152
I think, just to speak with other people.
153
Also, now I use Tandem App and just use other people to speak with other people and then I can just...
154
Because now I have no way to speak on the street with other people.
155
On work we can speak English.
156
And now I've also begun to speak with ChatGP to speak.
157
That makes sense.
158
I learn so much with ChatGP.
159
So give me 50 Sets with this word.
160
Now you can also speak with Handy
161
and then you can speak with ChatGP and then you can speak with ChatGP What, Schatz?
162
Yeah.
163
In these interviews we saw how different the methods were.
164
Some people have studied courses in a school, others have learned completely alone.
165
What would interest me, Erik, you as a German teacher, how would you do that?
166
Would you say, there are better and worse methods or are all the same good?
167
I would say, it comes very on the individual person.
168
Also, ich glaube, es geht auch darum, dass man, wenn man Deutsch lernt, dass man dann möglichst viele verschiedene Dinge ausprobiert, denn man muss ja erstmal herausfinden,
169
was für einen selber am besten funktioniert.
170
Und manche Leute lernen zum Beispiel besonders gut mit Podcasts hören,
171
andere lernen besonders gut, wenn sie einen Tandempartner haben und den regelmäßig treffen und für wieder andere ist dann,
172
weiß ich nicht, Musik hören und Texte von Liedern lesen besonders effektiv.
173
Also das müsst ihr wirklich dann selber herausfinden und das ist dann auch gar keine Zeitverschwendung,
174
verschiedene Dinge auszuprobieren, denn am Ende hilft das euch und eurem Lernprozess.
175
Was uns jetzt noch am Ende interessiert hat, ist, was diese Leute, die ihr gerade gesehen habt, was die anders machen würden,
176
wenn sie jetzt nochmal neu anfangen würden, Deutsch zu lernen.
177
Schaut mal rein.
178
Wenn du jetzt nochmal Deutsch lernen müsstest, was würdest du besser machen, was würdest du anders machen?
179
Already at the beginning to speak with German people and really to work with this fear of working.
180
I had so much fear that German is so formal and so much grammar.
181
I couldn't really say anything.
182
I had everything here in my head, but I couldn't do it.
183
Maybe at the beginning would I speak with German people and just be more confident.
184
I think it's so controversial, I would like to focus more on the Grammatics, because now I see already,
185
although there are already some gaps that I already missed, that would be my tip,
186
more on the Grammatics to focus more on the Grammatics learning. That helps, yes.
187
Yes, I make
188
so many mistakes with grammatik und ich denke weil das ist
189
du kommst aus england und engländer haben keine grammatik und ja ja also ich habe ein grammatik obensbuch und ich war
190
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
191
yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes,
192
yes of the world and we always speak English and that helps me not.
193
And yes, I would like to have many German friends.
194
I think I would start to start with intensive courses,
195
to have every day, because I already noticed that it helps.
196
So I think I would not have so much time to spend with the Vokabels alone learning.
197
Only words without context.
198
I would not only learn words alone, but only with context.
199
Because all these words that I learned alone without context, I forgot everything.
200
So I would start to speak.
201
I learned so much about watching, reading and so on.
202
But I haven't spoken enough.
203
So you should just speak. That helps.
204
What I was very interesting about these answers, was that some people said exactly the same thing said,
205
some people said they'd rather have started to speak earlier,
206
and some people said they'd rather have said they'd rather have started to speak without the grammar to pay attention, and now they'd wish to have more time with the grammar.
207
That's kind of funny, isn't it?
208
Yes, I would recommend that you combine the different skills of hearing,
209
writing, reading, reading, speaking and also the grammatical.
210
That's everything together and it greets in one another
211
and it makes not so much sense if you just focus on the hearing.
212
That should always be a bit of everything.
213
And if you want to practice these skills with us,
214
then we would like to invite you to join us in the 30 -Tage -Challenge in January.
215
There you will also be able to train the different skills.
216
You will hear, read, write, write and maybe a little bit speak.
217
Probate that out, the link is here.
218
We hope to see you with us and thank you very much for the time.
219
See you soon!

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
