Interview mit YourGermanTeacher
Ever wondered what the people behind YourGermanTeacher are really like? A couple of weeks before this video, we asked you to send us your questions, and so many of you did that we were amazed. Thank you very much! We could not answer all of them, since that would have made for an extremely long video, so we picked the ones we thought would be most interesting for all of you.
What to Expect
This is not a grammar lesson. It is a natural conversation in German, in which we answer your questions about our lives. Everything is spoken in German, and the video comes with German subtitles, so you can read along whenever you need to.
Who Is This Video For?
It is ideal for learners who understand everyday German and want to practice listening to real, natural speech instead of slow, adapted dialogues. If you are at A2 or B1 and want a challenge, the subtitles are your safety net.
How to Get the Most out of a German Conversation
- First viewing: Watch the video with the German subtitles switched on and try to understand the main ideas, without stopping to look up every word.
- Second viewing: Pause after sentences that sound interesting and write down new words and phrases together with their articles.
- Shadowing: Repeat sentences out loud right after you hear them. This trains your pronunciation and your rhythm.
- Answer the questions yourself: When a question comes up, pause the video and try to answer it in German, then compare with what you hear.
