Fr fr these guys look like some top tier shit posters.

[–] Fizz@lemmy.nz 1 points 4 months ago

I see the memes and laugh because I imagine a German person seeing it and laughing at it.

[–] UNY0N@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

I speak German and I can confirm, top-tier stuff.

I always try to decipher their memes because they look funny.

Whenever I can figure one out through context I feel like a genius

Or when you try to read a word aloud and realize it's basically the same as the English word with 50% more consonents.

That's the meme. They translate English expressions, names and brands into German 1:1, disregarding any standing idioms and available translations. Hard to read even as a German native. Struggling to figure out what to OP meant is like 90% of the fun.

I studied German in high school but I don't remember any of it. I like to pretend that ich_iel is just using made up nonsense words, like the Swedish Chef muppet.

We're more into dumb sturgeon puns.

Me_irl but german.

Learning French in the US is such a let down. Spanish is the unofficial second national language and German has the best memes.

[–] MrFloppy@lemmy.world 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

French is so difficult to learn because of the pronunciation. Spanish is much easier to learn in comparison. I don't get why all school in Germany prefer French as third language before Spanish.

The most populated region at war times was West Germany. It was governed by France after war.

I have no idea if this is actually the reason but we are incredibly thankful for restoring our country by our french friends - which we harassed and killed beforehand.

They still got up to the job.

That means you should start /c/moi_dlvv

Tbh I've kind of forgetten what little French I managed to learn earlier, so this wouldn't work for me either

[–] Achsonaja@sh.itjust.works 0 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm in the same boat with German sadly. Trying to relearn some though. Ich habe fast alles vorgessen.
