I'm going to show you how to learn German when you really don't have time using seven simple cheat codes.

See, I've been learning and teaching languages for over 25 years.

I've written dozens of books, including ones in German, and I've noticed that people who succeed with learning German, they're not smarter, they're not more talented, and they definitely don't have more free time.

They just get a few really important things right from the very beginning.

So in this video, I'm going to give you seven cheat codes that make learning German feel easier almost immediately.

You'll learn what to focus on, what to ignore, and how to start speaking, even if you've only got a few minutes a day.

So let's start with the easiest win there is, and you're probably going to think I'm joking because it certainly doesn't look like it's easy, but look, have you ever seen anything written in German?

Maybe on social media, in subtitles, a poster, a page in a book?

What you see at first glance is a lot of long words and funny letters, and are those capital letters in the middle of a sentence?

What is that anyway?

A typo?

How do you even read this?

Well, the funny thing is almost everything that's making this look difficult is actually trying to help you.

Those capital letters, they're not random, they're actually doing you a big favor because German highlights the most important words on the page.

That's right.

So when you look at a sentence, read the capitals first, because in German, every noun starts with a capital letter, every person, every place, every thing.

And that means

And here is

the Polizeilederjacke of 1989.

It's not hurting that they look a lot like English.

This one means the wind, and the other means police leather jacket.

So before you've even worked out the grammar, you've already got a pretty good idea of what's going on, something to do with the wind, and a leather jacket.

Now you've just got to figure out what's actually happening.

For that, you will need the other six cheat codes.

Before we get there, if reading German that easily gives you a little buzz, well, hold onto that feeling,

because that buzz is the whole idea behind how we teach languages here at Story Learning.

We don't bury you with grammar rules from the beginning.

We hand you a little story that's full of words

that you can already half guess so that you're reading real German from page one, not page 100.

And if you want to feel that win for yourself, experience what that's like, I've written a free short story for you

that comes with audio so you can read and listen along

and actually show you exactly how to do this step by step

so that you can prove to yourself that learning German won't be as hard as you think.

To get this free story, You can scan the QR code on the screen with your phone, or you can look for the link in the description.

Then see how much you can understand using all the seven cheat codes in this video.

Now, if you were just wondering how on earth you were supposed to recognize police leather jackets when it's all one word, well, don't worry, because that's the next cheat.

See, in German, a leather jacket is one word, just like a gazillion other things are, and it can get even longer if it's a particular kind of jacket.

So naturally, people think learning German means memorizing thousands and thousands of gigantic words.

But luckily, that's actually the last thing you should be worrying about, because German isn't inventing a brand new word each time,

it's just snapping a few ordinary words together like Lego.

German loves doing this.

The trick is to reverse engineer the word.

So if you can't understand this long word, unclick it, break the Lego.

Okay, vintage leather jacket.

Well, now I get it, which means those famously enormous German words are not really enormous at all.

There's lots of little words hiding inside a bigger one that German happens to stick together.

Also the biggest clue to the meaning is going to be the last part.

So even if you're not sure what the first part of the word is, you still know it's a jacket and that's kind of enough a lot of the time to guess what the word is.

So just think, last part wins.

What's brilliant about this is that you can often guess words that you've never seen before.

Let's say you're reading a a new little scene like this one.

First you spot all the nouns and some are easy because they look like English.

German has tons of these by the way they're called cognates

and once you start breaking up the longer words it's actually pretty fun guessing what's going on.

But reading German is one thing.

How could you actually say those words out loud?

Because German pronunciation can be tricky and

so naturally this is where beginners get a bit nervous because you look at a word like this and you think, great I've got no idea what sound that is supposed to make.

Ackeree?

Is that the same as bakery?

Is that how you say it?

Well no, that EI at the end is a typical German spelling trick that catches people out.

EI versus IE.

They look almost identical but they sound completely different and a lot of words look like this.

So here's the cheat, when you get to the the EI, IE part, just ignore the first letter.

Say the second one.

If you see IE, the second letter is E, right?

So just say E as in Wien.

And if you see EI, the second letter is, yeah, you guessed it, I as in Wein.

All you need to remember is that mein is mein and fein is, well, fein.

Once your throat is dry from repeating that, you can wet your whistle with a glass of Weißwein.

You can tell her sie trinkt bier hier in Wien.

That is, she drinks beer here in Vienna.

That's it, one little trick and you'll get one of the most confusing parts of German right almost every time.

Great, now that you're feeling more comfortable, you might be ready to hang out with some Germans, but that can feel a bit intimidating.

What are you actually going to say?

Well, the quickest way to get speaking real German quickly is to learn a handful of ready-made chunks.

Now, chunks are little starter phrases where you memorize the first part

and then simply change the ending to say dozens of other things.

For example, here's a really useful chunk that means I feel like or I'm in the mood for.

I feel like pizza, I feel like beer, I feel like dancing, I feel like going home.

You just learn that set phrase, I feel like, and you swap out the last word or two to say whatever it is that you fancy doing.

And it's the ultimate social shortcut really, and that word that looks like lust, it means desire.

You can't forget that.

Ich habe Lust einkaufen zu gehen.

I feel like going shopping.

Ich habe Lust auf Pizza.

I'm up for pizza.

Here's another one.

I'm looking forward to, or I can't wait for.

I can't wait for the weekend.

I can't wait to go hiking.

You can even come up with a few fun ones yourself, like this little phrase, I'm scared of something.

Learn that little chunk and you can say, well, I'm scared of spiders, I'm scared of flying, I'm scared of the dark, I'm scared of watching Ollie's YouTube videos.

You're not building anything from scratch here, you're taking a small chunk of German, using it exactly as it is, and just adding your own detail at the end.

Learn five or six like this, and suddenly you can really say things, not perfectly, but enough to get words out of your mouth.

Even once you know all this stuff, there is one particular thing that can feel quite stressful from the very start.

How to say the.

See, German does something that English speakers find completely baffling.

100

Every noun, every thing, comes with one of three little words and those words are der, die and das.

101

You might remember that from school.

102

They all basically mean the in English but German uses a different one for different nouns.

103

So the artist, the gallery and the girl might each need a completely different version of the.

104

And the last thing you want is to haul out a long grammar list to check every time.

105

Stop worrying.

106

Don't fight the die der das.

107

Here is a brilliant little workaround that will help you out immediately.

108

Whenever you've got the choice, talk about more than one thing instead of just one.

109

It immediately cancels out the problem.

110

Say you're at a train station in Berlin looking for the ticket machines.

111

Well, instead of asking, where's the ticket machine?

112

Ask, where are the ticket machines? not machine,

113

machines, plural, because every plural noun in German gets the same definite article, die, always.

114

It doesn't matter if you're talking about cats, clocks, or apple trees, they all get the exact same version of the.

115

So next time you're walking around Germany, instead of worrying whether a pretzel or a pilsner is der, die, or das, just say the pretzels,

116

the pilsners, and nine times out of ten you will be right, no guessing required.

117

It's a silly little trick, but it's amazing how these little things give you confidence when it comes to But wait, that's not the only sneaky way around genders.

118

Here's another fun one.

119

You know how in English we say words like a doggy instead of dog?

120

At least my 11 year old does.

121

Well in German you can add Schen to the end of a noun.

122

You're talking about a small version of it like a doggy and guess what?

123

Every single Schen noun is automatically das.

124

So if you can't remember the gender of Hund, which is dog, just think little dog.

125

Das little dog every time.

126

Pretty handy.

127

But even with all these new skills, how are you going to handle a German person talking to you at seven million miles an hour?

128

Because often when you hear native speakers it feels like someone's throwing the whole box of Lego down the stairs.

129

Just this wall of sound.

130

But here's the thing, German often hides one of the most important pieces of a sentence until the very end.

131

The action.

132

The verb.

133

And without the verb you don't know what's happening.

134

The trick is don't panic halfway through through the sentence.

135

Let it finish.

136

And while you're waiting for the ending, listen for the big words that come along, the nouns, people, places, things.

137

Gummiband is...

138

...noch irgendwo.

139

Okay, I heard rubber band somewhere.

140

Ich hab noch eins.

141

Irgendwo.

142

Ich glaub in einer Tasche.

143

Hier?

144

Nein.

145

Ja, ich glaub in meiner Jackentasche, eine andere Jacke.

146

Right, he said pockets and the other jacket pocket.

147

Well, that's already enough for me to start to build a picture.

148

Now, make a guess.

149

I think he's looking for a rubber band that might be in his other jacket pocket.

150

And don't worry if you're wrong, your brain absolutely loves making predictions like this.

151

Then the sentence reaches the end, the verb arrives, and suddenly the whole picture clicks into place.

152

It takes practice, but that's how good listeners work.

153

They're not trying to catch every single word.

154

They're always building a picture from the clues.

155

This is how German works.

156

It's like you're walking around a shop, putting things in your shopping basket, and it's only right at the end that you find out how much they all cost.

157

You've got to bring them there anyway, right?

158

Does this metaphor work?

159

I don't know.

160

Anyway, for now, you've got tons of little shortcuts to help you, but there's one final cheat that makes all the others stick.

161

You've got to make this all personal.

162

See, when you're in a hurry to get actually speaking German in front of real people

163

and having a good time while you're at it, there's not much point wasting time practicing all the dog phrases if you only like cats,

164

or how to ask for the right train if you never take trains and you only take taxis, or private helicopters or something.

165

You're just overloading your memory with useless stuff, and next thing you know, you're out with friends, and then someone says, oh, go on then, say something in German.

166

Can you say something in German?

167

Can you say something in German about your dream of Wembley?

168

Say something in German.

169

Yep, and your mind just goes completely blank.

170

Being there, I hate that.

171

So forget all of that stuff.

172

Your brain won't remember because it literally doesn't care.

173

So instead, learn to say stuff you actually talk about in your own life.

174

Your job, your family, your favorite rock bands, what you like to do on weekends, who your football team is.

175

As for your cats, could you tell those Germans about the one who keeps getting stuck up a tree?

176

Now, that's the German you'll actually use and because it matters to you, you'll remember it with half the effort.

177

You can even bring in those little chunks now that we talked about earlier.

178

I'm looking forward to the Guns N' Roses concert.

179

Ich freue mich schon auf das Konzert.

180

Ich freue mich auf.

181

If it comes up in your everyday life, it belongs in your German and it's worth learning.

182

Even the most obscure things are worth learning if they're personal to you.

183

So start there and you'll never be stuck wondering what to say again.

184

And by the way, if you've been learning German for a while and you're looking for something fun, a breath of fresh air to breathe into your learning, you might like to check out the Story Learning app.

185

Because here we give you short stories that are written personalized for you.

186

So we take your reading level and the stories magically adapt to your reading level as you go.

187

So if they're too hard, we make the stories too easy.

188

If the stories are too long, we make them shorter.

189

We only write stories in the genres that you like

190

but also when you save words from the story those words will reappear in future stories

191

so that you're always kind of learning naturally the words that you want to learn.

192

Lots of people are really enjoying the app there's a link in the description if you'd like to check out more.

193

There's just one thing left to do now

194

and that's figure out how you're going to make German a part of your everyday life

195

because all the cheat codes in the world won't help you

196

if you don't actually use them

197

so my next video I'm going to show you a dead simple system for learning any language even

198

if you've only got 15 minutes a day.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
