This relates to many German learners!

  1. That goes for most languages I think, but especially any language with complicated declinations, tenses, pronouns or conjugations

  2. You’re missing the step writing that’s even worse.
    For me with English it’s always the struggle, I understand everything, when I’m talking I don’t have time to think about phrases and can intuitively use the right ones, also I don’t have to worry about spelling, but if I’m writing, I have time to think about every single phrase and saying and worry if I’m misusing it and end up sticking to (for a lack of a better word) stock vocabulary and phrases.

  3. Ah yeah german language. Let me tell you something. The word „umfahren“ translates to „bypass something“ and it translates also to „to hit something“. Good luck with learning that language.

  4. but many germans they would to learn english have the same problem.
    🇩🇪mein handicap für english ist -> hören&verstehen – schreiben – lesen

  5. I have to say, as someone at B2 level, I can speak decently, but have a hard time understanding native German speakers. They speak so fast, of course, and I can recognize most of the words, but have no time to put the sentence together in my head, because they’re on to the next sentence already.

    Been watching “How to Sell Drugs Online” on Netflix. Listening to the high schoolers speak, with the speed and colloquialisms, makes my head spin.
