01:00But it's really just showing how dedicated you are.
01:03Hack number two is probably the most fun language learning hack of all.
01:07All you gotta do is to listen to German music.
01:14And no, you don't need to listen to that kind of German music.
01:18We actually have great musicians over here.
01:22And listening to their songs is a great way to absorb the grammar naturally.
01:26It will expose you to new vocabularies as well.
01:29And you will be very eager to learn those new words.
01:32Because you will want to know what the lyrics are all about.
01:35You will also learn how locals speak.
01:38And it will already give you some insight into the German culture.
01:43And of course, singing along will make a practice making the sounds correctly in no time.
01:52What are you waiting for?
01:53Time to start listening to some German music.

02:14Hack number three.
02:15Forget getting a tandem partner to study with.
02:18That's the way of the losers.
02:20The quickest way to get your German up to speed is to get a German girlfriend or boyfriend.
02:27How to get a German girlfriend?
02:30There's two things German women will fall for.
02:33Number one.
02:35Intelligence.
02:36So make sure to put on your smartest shirt, your smartest glasses,
02:40and don't forget to look up some Nietzsche quotes before you meet her.
02:45Yep, and that's what I do.
02:47Wow, that job sounds so stressful.
02:55He who has a while to live can bear almost any how.
03:02But even if you're as dumb as Brett, you still have the upper hand against any German man,
03:10because let's face it, you're probably funnier than the most hilarious German comedian.
03:14And don't forget to sing your newly practiced German songs from hack number two to your new German girlfriend.
03:22She will appreciate it.
03:24Ohne dich kann ich nicht sein ohne dich.
03:29Mit dir bin ich auf allein ohne dich.
03:35The boyfriend.
03:37Nothing is easier than getting a German man.
03:41All you need is a beer and a football.
03:44It really is that simple.
03:48Although don't expect him to talk much.
03:51German men are more on the reserved side.
03:55But he will be loyal.
03:57And as long as the beer is flowing, you will have his heart.
04:05Oh, thank God.
04:08Hack number four will make you learn a whole language level A1, A2 or B1 in just 10 weeks.
04:15Everybody knows that you are learning the fastest when you are enjoying the process.
04:19That's why Learn German with Anja, me and the biggest names from the German education space
04:25have come together to create a German learning course in video form,
04:29which you can watch like any Netflix series.
04:32It's fun, it's absurd and this way studying German doesn't even feel like work anymore.
04:38The story of the course follows Kati settling down in Berlin and covers all the important life situations
04:44like going shopping, looking for a flat or going on a date.
04:48The course is using a special teaching technique called chunking,
04:52which focuses on high frequency patterns, chunks, that native speakers use.
04:57Letting you discover grammar and concepts after already using them correctly.
05:01So the structure of the language comes naturally to your brain.
05:05It's basically the same way when you first learned your mother tongue as a child.
05:09And of course, beside the video units, there's also writing exercises, flashcards,
05:15grammar explanations.
05:16And now, since last week, there's even an accompanying textbook to work with.
05:21If you are interested, go check out all the details with the link in the description.
05:25And if you want to see the whole trailer for the course, go check this video right here.
05:30And obviously, don't forget to use my discount code if you get it.
05:35And now it's time for hack number five.
05:38This will make your German learning efforts so much easier, I promise.
05:42Just watch German news or any German YouTube video with live subtitles.
05:47There's a very helpful browser extension called Reverso that lets you check in real time the translation for the words.
05:55And you can even add them to your favorites in case you want to repeat them later.
06:00This way, while you are procrastinating on YouTube, you can even learn something.
06:05And how do we call that?
