Wir haben Zuhausis, Gurke und Mais, order so. Keine ahnung ich spreche kein Deutsch

German has similar enough rules to English that I treat it as a puzzle and just try to decode the memes. It's super fun!

Ich bin ein bisschen Deutschlander myself.

Same, but the posts, which for some reason I laugh! Germans are masterminds on this.

!ich_iel@feddit.org for anyone interessiert in unsere Maimais

It’s even worse when you know a little bit of German.

no better time to lernen

I wonder how long it would take to learn German through osmosis

Much of it isn't real German, its English directly translated as a joke. You'll often see Ichich's mentioned for example.

I know rusty Duolingo German so I get like 12%, but I’m occasionally able to piece enough together to be able to chuckle along proudly with whatever shit it ends up being about

Itchy eel is the best!

I use the autotanslate on my phone to read the posts, feels like bringing the world closer since 90% of the memes are super relatable.

Big mood, I love that me_irl seems to transcend language barriers.

I saw a really good one the other day of Mr. Robot, where the only two phrases I recognized were "Hackerman" and "Dailymotion" and it still made me snort laugh lol

Keep at it and you'll find that you're starting to learn the language. I had a base of it thanks to Rammstein but I realized a while back that I can get a gist of it, I've never taken a class or done Rosetta Stone or any apps like it but I'm slowly learning German by exposure. Reading only. So far it only works on intake, it's not like I can speak it or write it but I'm starting to understand it if I read or hear it.

Doch, naja

I blocked those communities cause I got tired of feeling left out.

I'm in this picture and I don't like it

Edit: who am I kidding, I love it

I have no idea why ich_iel posts keep appearing in my feed, but it's kind of nostalgic for me since I grew up in Germany. I never learned the language, but sometimes I can get the gist of it through context and the few words I do know.

Ich kann nicht Deutsch sprechen.

me blocking the community since i can actually read it

If you grew up speaking English, you already kind of understand German.

Ich lerne Deutsch. Und ich habe einen Monat Gebraucht, um zu verstehen, was "iel" bedeutet.

Interesting indeed, ja
