I speak spanish and I feel like I'm fouble dipping in the fun. But once I tried diving into a german thread with the help of translators. Boy they were SAVAGE some shit was like "He got another dick surgery probaly wants to suck it himself at this point." Idk who says german have no sense of humor but man that's wrong AF.

They have a great sense of humor. It's just that when it's time to be serious (at work, meeting a stranger, out in public), they act serious.

No, we are talk8ng about "Muricans" ... most of them are thinking that these people need to learn English.

I need to not only learn the language but learn the culture so I can understand what I can only assume are fire memes

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

As a german Ive seen this meme alot now, but Im completly confused what your experience is actually like.

besides the german c/communities like c/dach and c/deuschland I dont see where youre seeing german everywhere and these dont show in the popular feeds for me

EDIT: As described below, I blocked the whole instance (instead of only the meme community) by accident LOL

I always sort by "Hot" and German posts definitely start to dominate after midnight here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

~~weird I dont see it if I filter by hot
anyone know if my instance blocks these?~~

PS: LOL I blocked it for some reason, and didnt realize it blocks the whole instance rather than one community I didnt want to see (prolly ich_iel since I kinda feel like memes are degrading these platforms like reddit or insta with their short video floods)

lets give the instance another try... hope theres a way for me to block only meme sites from a whole instance tho

Not American but I got a lot of Ich_iel that sprout out in my All

How many languages can a human brain hold?

I have 3 spoken and 2 written languages and its a bit too much, I'm not trying to have 200 languages, that stupid green owl can go away.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

In many cultures, it's common to grow up with 3-5 languages. Learning them as an adult is much harder tho

Sometimes you can mix so many 语言, that 有啲人 都冇 understand you 係度 说啥?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

Deutsch reicht.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Ja genau.

I had a two year streak on Duolingo and I still get maybe 40% with context clues help.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

I took German in high school, and while I understand maybe 60% of the words, 90% of the (what I assume to be critical) context is lost on me

A lot is inside jokes and playfully bad translations from English. Don't know if that makes it easier or more difficult

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

It’s probably half an indictment of Duolingo effectiveness and half an indictment of my retention skills.

I use Google translate to bridge the language barrier and I'm happy to do so. Some of their memes are top class.

I've had to block so many German Lemmy's. It's frustrating because I can tell it's a good article and I believe European news more than US news now.
