Learning French in the US is such a let down. Spanish is the unofficial second national language and German has the best memes.
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.
And ramen noodle hair, apparently?
Tu peux apprendre les deux ! Or join us on !rance@jlai.lu. Sure we are not as active as !ich_iel@feddit.org but maybe with your help we will improve (^_^)
Fr fr these guys look like some top tier shit posters.
I see the memes and laugh because I imagine a German person seeing it and laughing at it.
I speak German and I can confirm, top-tier stuff.
What even is ich_iel?
Me_irl but german.
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
I’m in the same boat with German sadly. Trying to relearn some though. Ich habe fast alles vorgessen.
Deutsch vergeht, die MaiMais bleiben.
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.
