Lensflare15889104dThere are countless tv series which fall into your criteria. Most sitcoms for example. It depends on your taste of course. Obviously it doesn‘t need to be a German series. Just use the German voice setting in your streaming service. The translated German voice is much clearer than original German voice, anyways.
How about the good old The Big Bang Theory?
I‘ve rewatched it in English recently to improve my English :) -
electrineer30323104dJust learn the correct attitude and you will be understood https://youtu.be/0ktjiExyHXg

NeatNerdPrime4368104d@NoMad unironically watch German dubbed tv series, anything you are comfy and familiar with. I learned German just by watching tv as a kid and watched shows like "the Simpsons", "Futurama" and "Star Trek TNG".

NeatNerdPrime4368104dAnd we send you lots of virtual hugs and support, if you consent to accept them of course.

Lensflare15889104d@kobenz wrong. Black tea, with red fruit tea and some gold plates, in three distinct layers. π

dissolvedgirl1013104dI used to set my games to German and add English subtitles to help me learn some German. It worked well for me.
I'm a native Afrikaans speaker (same language family as German and Dutch), so I guess that made it easier for me. -
ElectricCoffee3398103dIf you like reading get a hold of Der Great Gatsby. It's a book that starts out mostly in English and then gradually replaces words until it's fully in German
-
daniel-wu676103dI prefer Young Sheldon over Big Bang Theory. I hate the lying audience laughs on classic sitcoms.

tosensei8030103d"1. I have to learn German (as a language)." - why tho? are you being punished for something?

Ranchonyx10457102dGuten Tag.
I remember us briefly talking on the discord a longer while back, it still exists, so if you ever wanna practice or ask anything feel free to ping :) -
CoreFusionX3263102dWell, #6 is gonna be a bummer.
The best way to learn a language is to go out and speak it.
I mean, sure Portuguese is easier for native Spanish speakers, but in just two months time I went from having lots of theoretical knowledge but being unable to understand two words together to having decently fluid conversations.
And that came not from books or media, but just sitting in a noisy bar listening and speaking to people. -
NoMad1384856d@tosensei kinda. Need to change my visa. For that, need to show I'm not a total idiot and that I can pick up on the language.
-
NoMad1384856d@Ranchonyx much appreciated! I will eventually ping you; currently trying to learn enough to hold a convo with a five year old but this language has a thing for pissing me off. doch! π
-
NoMad1384856dGood suggestions overall! Thanks everyone!
I mostly have psychological issues with this language than anything else, so I'm slowly working on that too. Might take me longer tho. ¯\_(γ)_/¯
Step by step and I'll get there! π
