7 YouTube Channels to Learn German for All Levels

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
If you want to learn German, YouTube is one of the best tools today for that. Full of various videos about how to learn a foreign language, it can be the perfect opportunity to get familiar with everything relating to the German language.

However, it can also be easy to go down a rabbit hole when surfing across the different channels and video lessons. One second, you're learning how to pronounce German sounds, and the next you're watching a music video with German subtitles. After a while, it can simply get ineffective.

To get the most out of YouTube, it's important to understand what exactly you expect from it and choose the right channels. So, to help you, we have prepared a list of the 7 best channels teaching everything from the basics of the German language, to German culture, to correct communication with native German speakers.

Ready to boost your knowledge? Read on to find the YouTube channel that fits your needs and skills.

Discover how to learn words 3x faster

This is what we can call a classic - it's easy, fast, and fun (as the channel hosts promise). GermanPod101.com is actually a website and learning platform based on audio and video lessons, but they also have a YouTube channel with short videos on all the necessary German skills.

The lessons on this channel are short, simple, and nicely structured. They are not real lessons, though - not in the traditional definition of that word. Instead, these are chunks of information you might need to improve your listening or speaking in German.

It's a pretty good tool for learning new German words with pronunciation, increasing your vocabulary, or just getting some listening practice if you're a beginner. What we didn't like about this channel, however, is the number of advertisements for their own app - but we guess that's what marketing is like when YouTube is just your additional website.

Our decision: if the ads don't bother you, this is a short and well-structured channel ideal for learning German basics.

If lecture-like language learning is not your way to go, this channel uses a method that's a bit more engaging. With Deutsch Verstehen (Understand German), you will be learning with short animated videos.

Here, you will find short, animated dialogues supported by speech bubbles with all the words written out - and the main ones are even color-coded. If you need a translation, there are English subtitles. You might turn them off after some time, though - the characters speak in a slow and clear manner, and it's very easy to match what you hear with what is written on the screen.

The best thing is that there are videos for learners of all levels, from A1 to even B2/C2. In the "community" tab of the channel, you can also find some simple "fill the blank" exercises, so that apart from boosting your listening comprehension, you can practice a little bit as well.

This is not the perfect place for German grammar lessons. However, if you want to learn everyday vocabulary and even move to some business German basics on higher levels, this can be a good channel for you.

Are you looking for a professional German tutor but don't have the budget to hire one personally? In that case, Michael, a native German speaker and an excellent teacher, has quite a lot of free materials to share with you on his YouTube channel.

Although Michal also offers paid content on his website, his free German learning videos might be just what you need to get a hang of the basics. Here, you will find classic language lessons on topics such as articles and regular verbs along with funny, educational songs about German inseparable prefixes and accusative prepositions.

You can even find some content here on how to prepare for German exams and how to make the most of your German language learning journey. While the number of videos is not as large as we would like, Michael's lessons can be a perfect starting point for beginners as well as a good additional resource for intermediate and advanced learners.

If you are dreaming about a lot of German-learning content to consume, this channel might be what you're looking for. It has been around for over a decade, so you can definitely find lessons on many different topics for all different levels of learning.

Dominic, the native German speaker who hosts the channel, runs everything in an exciting, energizing way. You won't get sleepy or even slightly bored when watching - his speech just makes you want to listen and learn more and more and more.

The topics vary a lot. Apart from all the basic ones, such as German grammar and vocabulary, Dominic also talks about Germany and its culture, presents fun learning methods, explores places around the country, and sometimes even shares some vlogs.

Want to learn more about German wedding traditions, German cuisine, or enjoy some funny, short videos? Make sure to try this YouTube channel.

On Easy German, you won't find traditional language lessons or teaching videos; instead, you'll get an opportunity to hear the German language used by native speakers in real-life contexts and regular talking speeds. This doesn't only boost your listening comprehension - it also prepares you for conversations in German with other people.

The main concept of this channel is to simply go out in the street and speak to actual Germans about various topics, such as food, romance, money, or lifestyle. There are also a lot of German grammar and vocabulary-related videos, so you can learn while enjoying the dialogues.

If you are a complete beginner and worry about not understanding the real spoken language, don't: all videos are supported by English and German subtitles. So, even if you don't hear something well, you can always rewind and check the text.

Our favorite thing about this channel is that it makes the German language real: we see regular people using it, standing on the streets of Germany or Austria. The videos are full of interesting visuals, which makes the learning process a bit more engaging.

Now, there are quite a few non-traditional learning channels on our list. But, if you're interested in a more college-like learning environment, don't worry: we have a channel with the perfect YouTube videos that won't make you fall asleep halfway into the lesson.

Learn German with Herr Antrim offers you the opportunity to explore all the necessary grammar and vocabulary topics for beginning and intermediate levels. Some of them look like real school classes, with presentations and an engaging voice telling you how something works. These are great when it comes to getting familiar with grammar or pronunciation.

The traditional lessons are supported with more lively videos where Herr Antrim reviews something or shares a piece of his thoughts with you. And yes, he's always very energizing, and almost always wears a bowtie.

Our list wouldn't be complete without this channel. Learn German with Anja is probably the most-known YouTube channel for learning German - and we completely agree with this rating.

Full of super engaging graphics, real-life emotions, and adventurous content, Anja's videos may be just what you need if you're tired of traditional German lessons. Her short yet constructive grammar lessons are perfect for beginners and intermediate learners, but what we love this channel most for is the insights into real German culture.

Want to learn German vocabulary about cats while watching Anja play with one? Or sing some winter songs together? Or go shopping in a typical German store? This is the perfect channel for you, and the dynamic Anja will make the journey even more enjoyable.

YouTube Can Be Your Best German Teacher

We hope we've proved it - YouTube can be a really versatile tool when learning a foreign language. With so many channels that focus on different topics and learning styles, all types of German learners can find something for themselves here.

Whether you want traditional grammar and vocabulary lessons or to explore the culture and hear the language spoken by natives, there is always something for you. What's great about learning with YouTube is that there are so many options - you can find the channel(s) that fit your needs and skills, and they'll make your long language learning journey a bit more exciting.

Now, it's time to go explore the channels from our list more on your own - and if you don't like any of them, remember to not stop looking. With YouTube offering so much in terms of language learning, it can be an amazing additional learning resource - or even the main one, if you prefer.

A fun way to practice specific German sounds is by reciting tongue twisters. The benefit to using tongue twisters as a learning tool is that you get to practice the same target sound not only repeatedly and but also in differing configurations. This is important because neighboring sounds influence one another. Practicing individual sounds in isolation is useful, but is ultimately only a precursor to being able to pronounce the sounds in combination with others.

Here are 14 German tongue twisters or "tongue breakers" with audio. Viel Spaß beim Üben!

Watch

Netflix and Amazon Prime have a decent collection of German-language films and series. (Check out “Babylon Berlin” or “Dark” on Netflix and “You are Wanted” on Amazon).  Even if you watch films with English subtitles, as long as you’re listening to the German while reading, you are helping your language skills and being exposed to new and familiar vocabulary and grammatical structures. These films are always changing, but you’re sure to find something you like! (Another tip: for many popular American shows on Netflix you can click on the bottom right to change the language to German!)

Popular TV Series: Check out this article that outlines the 15 most popular German TV series!
Here are some ideas to get you started:
Die Pfefferkörner
Deutscher
Der Krieg und ich
Turkish for Beginners

Stream German TV:  Want to put on German TV while you’re having breakfast? For a live stream of channels like ARD, ZDF, VOX, RBB, arte, and more, check out Schoener-Fernsehen.

Quiz shows like “Wer weiß denn sowas?” (ARD) – entertaining and easy to follow!

Keep up on the news: The standard is the nightly Tagesschau at 20 Uhr. This 20 minute recap will get you caught up on world events (with German captions). If you feel like Deutschlandfunk (radio) or Tagesschau (nightly news) are just a bit too fast for you, check out the podcast Langsam gesprochene Nachrichten from Deutsche Welle, available (free!) on iTunes or nachrichtenleicht (easy news for adults).  If you’re feeling more ambitious, you can try some of the thematic Deutsche Welle podcasts (just search for Deutsche Welle on iTunes).  They are also free, and a great way to combine whatever you’re interested in (politics, science, music, literature, etc.) with German!

One student’s inspiring story of learning German in a year:  The Lernen to Talk Show. Mickey Mangan made a video every week of his year in Germany, added subtitles, and you can watch how he progresses! There are some really amusing episodes that really show what it’s like to be learning a language abroad!

EasyGerman videos on YouTube: Interviews with people in the streets. If you’re looking for a funny episode, check out the ones at Karneval in Köln.

DW’s Telenovela “Jojo sucht das Glück” is relatively simple German, a short “soap opera” of sorts about a Brazilian woman who moves to Germany. “Sie hat sich verliebt: in jemanden, den sie noch nie gesehen hat. Wird sie ihn treffen?”

Extr@, also a telenovela of sorts about Sam, an American who moves to Germany, and his interactions with several roommates in a Berlin WG.  Has easy German and German subtitles! Start with Episode 1 on YouTube.

The German Department at U of Michigan also has a huge list of ways to watch German online, check out this list here.

German public television: Did you know you can watch German TV online for free?

Zweites Deutsches Fernsehen (ZDF)

Links to other public broadcasters (ARD, RTL, Deutsche Welle) can all be found on this list by DANK.

Listen

Find your new favorite German artist: how about German American rapper Casper (try Hinterland), Revolverhead (Immer in Bewegung), Jennifer Rostock (Die guten alten Zeiten), Montreal (Das falsche Pferd), Sarah Connor (Wie schön du bist), and some classics: Herbert Grönemeyer  (Mensch), Nena (99 Luftballons, Willst du mit mir gehen), or real classics like Marlene Dietrich (Sag mir wo die Blumen sind) and Marlene Dietrich and Hildegard Knef, singing Ich hab noch einen Koffer in Berlin. Click here for a list of the Top 10 Singers from Germany from Deutsche Welle.

Listen to German tunes: To keep up with German music, check out the 100 Top Single Charts from MTV.de. You’re bound to find something you like! There are also many YouTube channels called “Deutsche Musik 2017” or “die schönste deutsche Popmusik“.

If you have a Spotify account, check out the channel “Germany top 50“.

Use Audible to find new books to listen to or books that you have already read. You can adjust the speed of the reader if that helps comprehension.

Follow a German podcast or two: check out the Podcast Charts for ideas. Other tips:

Rice und Shine – “Wir wollen die vielen Geschichten und Perspektiven vietnamesischer Menschen in Deutschland sichtbar machen, mit persönlichen Anekdoten, viel Liebe und Humor.”

Halbe Katoffl – “Der Halbe Katoffl Podcast ist eine Gesprächsreihe mit Deutschen, die nicht-deutsche Wurzeln haben. Die Halben Katoffln sprechen über ihre Erfahrungen, ihre Storys, ihr Leben.”

Feuer und Brot – “gesellschaftlich relevante, popkulturelle und persönliche Themen wie z.B. Rap, Feminismus, Kulturelle Aneignung, Männlichkeit”

Matatu Podcast – “Der deutschsprachige Afro-Podcast”

Read

Try reading part (or all) of a German translation of something you’ve already read in English. Doing so helps with vocabulary acquisition since you already know the story. You can order German copies of various books from Amazon.de or BookDepository and can find most anything, from Twilight (auf Deutsch: Bis(s) zum Morgengrauen) to Harry Potter (auf Deutsch: Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen) to more canonized literature.  Just do an author search and see what you can find!

Find a (free) German e-Book! Just search for “German” on Amazon kindle. Many classics are free, or you can get books like Harry Potter as well.  Check out the free children’s book Grimms Deutsche Sagen.

Want simpler texts?  Some students enjoy this series about Dino, an Italian learning German in Berlin: Café in Berlin. Check out book 1 of 8 here. (Available as Kindle Book!)

Read children’s literature:  Check out this list of “Zehn deutsche Kinderbuch-Klassiker” and order one online. Some favorites are the author Janosch, and his Oh wie schön ist Panama.

There are hundreds (maybe even thousands) of free e-books available on amazon.com, amazon.de, and amazon.co.uk. “The German Professor” has a helpful list of how to download free e-books.

Deutsche Welle also has a list of free and paid German e-books with instructions

Deutsche Welle  –  DW is a radio station, but like NPR, they post a lot of stories online.  They have excellent resources for learners of German.  If you like their facebook page, called Learn German with DW.de, you can get all sorts of interesting things on your newsfeed, like question prompts, news stories, etc.  DW’s German XXL page also offers news articles with words you might not know highlighted and glossed in German, as well as lots of videos.

Logo! die Kindernachrichten – A news site for children with simplified language and images that help comprehension.

Other newspapers: Süddeutsche Zeitung, Frankfurter Allgemeine, Die ZEIT

Check out other periodicals for college-age students in Germany, both on their websites and on Facebook:

STERN – A German magazine, usually read by folks in their 20s and 30s.  Not really great if you’re looking for news, but it does contain some interesting cultural commentary.

NEON – Stern’s sister publication for college kids.  Lots of stuff about German youth culture in here

Rent German Children’s Books: – Do you have a child in your life? Or just want some easy, fun reading? Check out “KinderBooks” – a company based in NYC that rents German children’s books for a monthly fee.

Speak

Check out language learning communities in or near your town. Meetup.com is a great place to start!

Talk to yourself or to your pets! (No one is listening but you!)

Online language learning communities like The Mixxer or lang-8 hook you up with a language buddy. You teach them English, they teach you German (or whatever language you want to learn) via Skype, e-mail, or another mode of communication.

Write

Keep a journal for 15 minutes each day and write as best you can about what’s on your mind – what you did today, what you might do if you won a million dollars, a description of your best friend, a description of your room, a creative story or poem – the more you write, the more comfortable writing will feel!

Find a pen pal from your class and promise to exchange handwritten letters or e-mails every couple of weeks or every month.

For grammar inquiries & practice: Grimm Grammar

Get a penpal! Find someone in your class and promise to exchange letters every so often, or check out some websites such as Penpal World or Interpals. Writing with someone in Germany can be so much fun, and really improve your writing and reading. There is also a Google Hangout for German language practice

Apps

Duolingo is great for introductory students to learn new vocab and review past vocabulary.

Babbel is similar to Duolingo, but has more complex phrases and speech recognition to help with pronunciation

Twitter accounts to follow:

Vom schlafenden Apfel

Im Baum im grünen Bettchen
hoch oben sich ein Apfel wiegt,
der hat so rote Bäckchen,
man sieht's, dass er im Schlafe liegt.
Ein Kind steht unterm Baume,
das schaut und schaut und ruft hinauf:
„Ach Apfel, komm herunter!
Hör endlich mit dem Schlafen auf!"
Es hat ihn so gebeten,
glaubt ihr, er wäre aufgewacht?
Er rührt sich nicht im Bette,
sieht aus, als ob im Schlaf er lacht.
Da kommt die liebe Sonne
am Himmel hoch daherspaziert.
„Ach Sonne, liebe Sonne,
mach du, dass sich der Apfel rührt!"
Die Sonne spricht: „Warum nicht?"
Und wirft ihm Strahlen ins Gesicht,
küsst ihn dazu so freundlich,
der Apfel aber rührt sich nicht.
Nun schau, da kommt ein Vogel
und setzt sich auf den Baum hinauf.
„Ei, Vogel du musst singen,
gewiss, gewiss, das weckt ihn auf!"
Der Vogel wetzt den Schnabel
und singt ein Lied so wundernett
und singt aus voller Kehle,
der Apfel rührt sich aber nicht im Bett.
Und wer kam nun gegangen?
Es war der Wind, den kenn ich schon,
der küsst nicht und der singt nicht,
der pfeift aus einem andern Ton.
Er stemmt in beide Seiten
die Arme, bläst die Backen auf
und bläst und bläst, und richtig,
der Apfel wacht erschrocken auf.
Und springt vom Baum herunter
grad in die Schürze von dem Kind,
das hebt ihn auf und freut sich
und ruft: „Ich danke schön, Herr Wind!"

The Studienbrücke is a program that prepares students who have achieved excellent marks in mathematics, computer science, technology, sciences (STEM subjects) and German language skills for studies in Germany and introduces them to the German teaching and learning culture. Selected preparatory content, training and intensive support from handpicked partner universities enable an optimal start to your studies.

The Studienbrücke accompanies you in the U.S. and in Germany with professional and personal preparation and support from the university and the Goethe-Institut. The Studienbrücke is at your side!

The Studienbrücke program offers a direct path to university admission and, through its content, creates optimal conditions for a successful transition from high school to a German university and long-term success in your studies. The admission requirements at German universities are so complex that they should always be carefully examined on a case-by-case basis with the help of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) and the interactive tool DAAD-Service My Guide.

American school graduates are, in principle, just as likely to gain university access through the German Language Diploma of the Standing Conference of the Ministers of Education and Cultural Affairs of the Länder in the Federal Republic of Germany at level two (DSD II) and the right school subject combination. More information can be found here.

The Studienbrücke provides orientation right from the start through good preparation and strong support. Successful Studienbrücke graduates can apply directly to selected Studienbrücke partner universities in North Rhine-Westphalia, Thuringia and Brandenburg by taking the TestDaF and TestAS exams. The partner universities reserve a certain number of study places each year especially for the Studienbrücke. They offer first-year students a comprehensive range of support services at the start of and during their studies. Last, but not least, the Studienbrücke participants are part of an international student community at their future university, which is characterized by very special achievements in their studies.

The Studienbrücke is offered in the region of Eastern Europe/Central Asia (Russia, Ukraine, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstand, Azerbaijan, Belarus,), the USA, Mexico, China, Vietnam, Thailand, Indonesia, and South America (Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Columbia, Peru, Uruguay).

8 Ways to Discover Popular Music Around the World

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Keeping up with music that tops the charts in your own country is simple. Usually, you can just turn on the radio and hear pop songs being played on repeat ad infinitum. But what if you want to discover what's popular in other countries around the world?

We're here to help you achieve this, with a collection of apps and websites that will help diversify your listening habits.

There are numerous ways to find international hits on Spotify.

First, go to Browse, then Charts, and you'll see options to check out the Top 50 by Country as well as Viral 50 by Country.

There are also international charts for viral hits, and you can find playlists filled with songs by genre too.

Outside of the Browse section of Spotify, it's also worth using the Search function. Just type in a query with a country's name in it. You never know what you might come across!

And when you're not in the mood for music, Spotify has other content worth exploring.

SoundCloud is another streaming site that lets you check out charts by country.

To get started, go to the website or app. Then, look for the orange Explore Our Top 50 button.

The next screen opens a chart. Use the dropdown lists on the top to filter by country or genre.

Pay attention to the number of plays listed in the right column, too. See a track with a huge number of weekly plays and relatively few all-time plays? It might be the next breakthrough hit.

Beloved by many indie artists, Bandcamp features a tag-heavy interface. Once you learn how it works, finding music from other countries is a breeze.

Start by looking for the Discover link in the top right.

On the next screen, find the filter in the top left for Location. Then use the right arrows to scroll through the list of places.

Also, check out the Browse By Tags link in the right-hand corner.

There is a location-based tag heading on the Tags page that shows some of the top place-specific tags. However, you can click View All and get even more. The screenshot below shows only a tiny segment of the options.

Exploring music on AllMusic could provide many surprises. Unlike the other sites and apps covered so far, this one doesn't give location-based details.

As you can see, many song titles aren't in English. The icon under the Stream column for some tracks launches the song in Spotify.

This chart could be a good resource if you're ready to go beyond the Spotify charts. It gives you a bit of guidance without revealing genre details.

You can also scroll down past the chart and look for the International Subgenres and Styles header. Then, click the Plus sign to the right of it. Doing that opens up numerous tags for music lovers to explore.

This app offers over 80,000 radio stations representing more than 100 genres. It also gives you access to 120,000 podcasts. Even better, there are no commercials.

The app reportedly plays any radio station available to stream. There is also a specific country-based search that you can use to find music from other parts of the world.

Even if you only use this app to find music from other countries, it won't disappoint.

This website and app offers a wealth of audio content, from live sports to podcasts. To find audio from a particular country, select By Location from the menu to the left.

Choose a region from the top of the next screen, then filter your choice by country.

You can also use the search box in the upper-right corner. This method is a little harder to use unless you can read other languages.

Try typing in the keywords "Top [country descriptor]". After typing in "Top Polish" for example, click on the link for one of the stations.

Shazam is best known for its mobile app that identifies songs by listening to them. All you have to is hold up your phone and let Shazam figure out what it is.

Shazam also, however, offers an impressive streaming service through its website and mobile app.

To find international hits on the site, go to Shazam's homepage and click Charts.

Scroll down to the Top 100 section to see a block-style list of top charts by country.

Want to know what's getting noticed in a particular place? The Future Hits section is worth a listen. Click a country to see a hits playlist. The number to the right of a track represents total plays, not plays per week.

There are also embedded links to go to the song on Apple Music.

Furthermore, you can share the track, or go to the song or artist page. Just click on the menu to the right of each chart entry. It appears when you hover your mouse over a track, as does the Apple Music link.

Notice the menu to the right of the main Play button for the playlist? It lets you share the entire playlist via a social media site, such as Facebook or Twitter.

This website lacks a glamorous interface, but it's straightforward, informative, and updated regularly based on iTunes data. It includes data for audiobook, eBooks, movies, and TV shows for some countries too.

Click the Play button in the black bar below any album's cover picture to hear the song. You can stream the song without having iTunes installed, or you can buy the song through iTunes or Amazon if you want to listen to it later.

The charts on this site have 100 entries each, and the gray links below the Jump To Song header are especially helpful. Use them to get deeper into the chart without spending a ton of time scrolling. You could stumble onto some otherwise-buried ear candy.

How Do You Discover Music Popular in Other Countries?

Getting acquainted with the music that people in other countries listen to is easy and fun. You will undoubtedly find some similarities between your country and other countries. However, you should also expect to hear songs from artists that are completely new to you. Which is awesome.

What methods do you use to discover music popular around the world? Are there any websites are apps we missed off the list? And which country do you think has the best taste in music? Please let us know in the comments below!

Below you'll find a list of the grammar worksheets I've compiled over the last few years. All of these pages are my own compilations, but I can't claim credit for every single sentence or idea -- many of these worksheets were compiled from older textbooks and various internet sites, and the clip art comes from older textbooks and from freeware clip art collections. Please, if you do notice anything that appears to be a copyright infringement, I'd be more than happy to remove the offending material if you let me know.

Feel free to use these as handouts or links for your own teaching, or for your own reference -- there's no need to give me credit. However, please do drop me a line if you plan on using them for anything other than classroom or instructional use.

Unten finden Sie eine Liste der grammatischen Arbeitsblätter, die ich im Laufe der letzten paar Jahre entwickelt habe. Alle Seiten, die sich hier befinden, wurden von mir persönlich zusammengestellt, aber viele der einzelnen Sätze und Grafiken stammen von alten Lehrbüchern und von diversen Internetseiten. Wenn Sie also etwas bemerken, das gegen irgendwelche Urheberrechte verstößt, bitte sagen Sie es mir, und ich werde das verstoßende Material sofort wegnehmen.

Sie dürfen diese Seiten gerne als Unterrichtshilfe (Handouts oder Links) benutzen, auch für Ihre eigenen Studien. Wenn Sie die Seiten außerhalb des Klassenzimmers benutzen wollen, bitte setzen Sie sich mit mir in Kontakt.

The letters of the German alphabet The German alphabet song

Like English, the German alphabet has 26 letters. The names for each letter are in many cases slightly different to their English equivalents or are pronounced in a different way. These letters and their names are listed in the table below. Click on the sound icon to the right of each letter to hear it being spoken by a native speaker.

German umlauts and the eszett

To help you remember the letters of the German alphabet, there is a handy rhyme which is sung to the same tune as its English equivalent, although it has to be modified slightly to rhyme in German. Click either here or on the sound icon on left to listen to this song being sung by a native speaker. The text of the song is given in the box below:

Alternative version of the song
If you wish to practise this as a group in class, click either here or on the sound icon on the left for a slower version of the same alphabet song. This version of the rhyme stops after each line to give you time to repeat it before moving on to the next line. And below are a number of further exercises to help you master the German alphabet and German pronunciation in general.

The Max Planck Society enjoys worldwide recognition for its excellence in research. Since its establishment in 1948, no fewer than 20 Nobel laureates have emerged from the ranks of its scientists. For example, Emmanuelle Charpentier, Scientific and Managing Director of the Max Planck Unit for the Science of Pathogens in Berlin, and Reinhard Genzel, director at the Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics in Garching, received the prestigious award in 2020 (Nobel Prize in Chemistry and Physics respectively).

The Max Planck Institutes offer a vibrant, open and international working environment. Not surprisingly, the appeal of the Max Planck Society has spread worldwide. More than half of all the researchers at the Max Planck Society hold a foreign passport, forming a creative cosmos in which interdisciplinary and intercultural concepts and innovative ideas come to bear. This, in turn, ensures the success of the excellent basic research for which the Max Planck Society is renowned.

The Max Planck Society supports outstanding young scientists and researchers, who complete formative years of their careers as student assistants, PhD students, postdocs, or research group leaders at Max Planck Institutes, and who benefit from the knowledge of their internationally networked research mentors.

Organisational details

24,000 people (researchers, doctoral students, graduates, scholarship holders, visiting researchers and staff) are employed at the Max Planck Society. The MPG's headquarters are located in Munich.

In all, 86 research institutions belong to the Max Planck Society. They include centres not only in Germany, but also abroad. The institutes have their own budgets and are free to decide on their research projects. Heads of institutes enjoy the best possible working conditions and have complete autonomy in choosing their staff, subject matter and cooperation partners.

Facts and figures

Research activities

Max Planck Institutes conduct basic research in the interest of the public good. The research fields are:

Natural sciences

Life sciences

Social sciences and the humanities

Some institutes also perform services for university research, providing equipment and facilities to researchers, such as telescopes, large-scale equipment, specialised libraries and documentary resources.

International cooperation

Max Planck Institutes frequently build international networks to create the critical mass for specific research topics. MPG researchers are highly sought-after and appreciated as esteemed research partners worldwide. This is evidenced by the fact that around 16,500 junior and visiting researchers worked at the Max Planck Society on fixed-term contracts of varying lengths during the course of 2019. Additionally, Max Planck Institutes were involved in roughly 3,000 international research projects with more than 6,000 partners in over 120 countries around the world.

As a research partner, the Max Planck Society collaborates with numerous institutes and multinational research facilities outside Germany.

Budget

The budget amounts to approx. 2.4 billion euros (2019). The Max Planck Society is primarily financed by public funds from the Federal Government and the states (Länder). It also receives third-party project funding from public and private bodies as well as the European Union.

In the following chart you'll find those German verbs that take a "direct" object in the dative case rather than the normal accusative case.

The "dative verbs" category is a rather loose classification because almost any transitive verb can have a dative indirect object. But in general, a dative verb is one that normally takes an object in the dative case-usually without any other object. The list below does not include such "normal" verbs, as geben (give) or zeigen (show, indicate), that commonly have both a direct and an indirect object (as in English): Er gibt mir das Buch.

-mir is the indirect object (dative) and Buch is the direct object (accusative).

In addition to the single-word English translation, many dative verbs can be translated with a to-phrase: antworten, to give an answer to; danken, to give thanks to; gefallen, to be pleasing to; etc. This favorite grammar trick of many German teachers does not always hold up (as with folgen, to follow). But this "to" aspect does have some basis in the German grammar of some dative verbs, in that they are not actually taking a true direct object. Ich glaube dir nicht. (I don't believe you.) is short for Ich glaube es dir nicht-in which es is the true direct object and dir is a sort of "dative of possession" that could be translated "of you" (i.e., "I don't believe it of you.").

However, even if you are one of those rare people who find all this dative grammar fascinating, it is best to simply learn the more common dative verbs.

Thus, the chart below, which lists the most common dative verbs-those that you should learn first.

Note that many dative verbs also have an accusative be- prefix variation: antworten/beantworten, danken/bedanken, etc.

Most Frequently Used Dative Verbs

Below are additional dative verbs that are less common, yet still important German vocabulary words. You'll also find a few genitive verbs listed below the dative chart.

Less Common Dative Verbs

Zuhören (listen to), zulächeln (smile at), zujubeln (rejoice), zusagen (agree to), zustimmen (agree with), and other verbs with a zu- prefix also take the dative. EXAMPLES: Stimmst du mir zu? (Do you agree with me?); Ich höre dir zu. (I'm listening to you.)

Genitive Verbs

Note: Verbs used with the genitive tend to be found in more formal writing (literature) or informal expressions.

They are rare in conversational German. For some of these verbs, the genitive can be replaced by a prepositional phrase.

Genitive Examples

Ich bedarf deiner Hilfe. | I need your help.

Sie schämen sich ihres Irrtums. | They are ashamed of their error.

Wir treffen uns um jenes Mannes zu gedenken, dessen Werk so bedeutend war. | We meet to commemorate the man whose work was so significant.

For reflexive verbs (sich), see our Reflexive Verbs glossary.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Wordl Herunterladen

Die Regeln sind sehr einfach: Sie müssen das versteckte deutsche Wort in 6 Versuchen erraten. Um zu beginnen, geben Sie einfach ein beliebiges Wort in die erste Zeile ein. Wenn der Buchstabe richtig erraten wurde und an der richtigen Stelle ist, wird er grün markiert, wenn der Buchstabe im Wort, aber an der falschen Stelle steht, gelb, und wenn der Buchstabe nicht im Wort ist, bleibt er grau. Kannst du das versteckte deutsche Wort in 6 Versuchen erraten?

Wie spielt man das Wordle-Spiel?

1. Geben Sie das erste Wort ein
Um zu beginnen, geben Sie einfach ein beliebiges Wort mit fünf Buchstaben ein, um herauszufinden, welche Buchstaben mit dem versteckten Wort übereinstimmen. Insgesamt haben Sie 6 Versuche, das versteckte Wort zu erraten.

2. Finden Sie heraus, welche Buchstaben in dem versteckten Wort sind
Wenn irgendwelche Buchstaben gelb markiert sind, bedeutet dies, dass dieser Buchstabe in dem verborgenen Wort enthalten ist, aber nicht mit der genauen Position in diesem Wort übereinstimmt. Wenn ein Buchstabe grün markiert ist, befindet er sich in diesem Wort und an der genauen Stelle. Bleibt der Buchstabe grau, dann ist er nicht im versteckten Wort.

3. Versuchen Sie, das versteckte Wort zu erraten
Wenn Sie nun ein paar Buchstaben mit der genauen Position (grün) und ein paar Buchstaben kennen, die im Wort vorkommen (gelb), können Sie versuchen, das versteckte Wort zu lösen und das Spiel zu gewinnen!

Das Hauptziel des Spiels ist es, das versteckte Wort in 6 Versuchen zu erraten.

Um zu gewinnen, müssen Sie das versteckte Wort vollständig erraten (alle Buchstaben sind grün).

2. Was ist das beste Wort, um das Spiel zu beginnen?

Versuchen Sie zu Beginn des Spiels, ein Wort ohne Buchstabenwiederholung und mit möglichst vielen Vokalen zu verwenden, wie zum Beispiel das Wort „RADIO". Versuchen Sie bei der Eingabe weiterer Wörter, neue Buchstaben zu verwenden, um so viele Hinweise wie möglich zu finden.

Für Deutsch verwenden wir ein allgemeines Wörterbuch Deutscher Wörter, das eine Liste von ~115.000 Wörtern enthält. Dieses Wörterbuch wird ständig mit neuen Wörtern aktualisiert, die auf echtem Feedback von Menschen basieren.

4. Warum habe ich die Meldung „Wort nicht gefunden" erhalten?

Versuchen Sie es mit einem anderen Wort, oder lassen Sie es uns wissen, wenn Sie der Meinung sind, dass das Wort richtig ist.

5. Das versteckte Wort war falsch. Kannst du das reparieren?

Wenn Sie denken, dass das versteckte Wort falsch oder falsch ist, lassen Sie es uns wissen, wenn Sie der Meinung sind, dass das Wort richtig ist. Wir werden dies auf jeden Fall so schnell wie möglich beheben.

6. Wie ändere ich den eingegebenen Buchstaben?

Mit der Leertaste kommst du immer zum Wortanfang. Mit den Tasten Pfeil links und rechts kannst du bei der Eingabe den Buchstaben-Platz auswählen. Nach dem Spiel kommst du mit der Taste, T, zum Teilen, und mit der Taste, S, zur Statistik.

in September is: Wendy Andrews

I currently teach German at Warwick High School, in Lititz, PA. I have lead 5 GAPP Exchanges to visit our partner school, Koenig Karlmann Gymnasium in Altoetting, Germany!

I often tell my students that I have one of the best jobs in my school district. I have the privilege of taking people who are extremely important to me (my students) to a place I love (Germany) and watching them fall in love with it themselves. Experiential learning in its
purest form!

My favorite memories from our GAPP exchanges are watching my students' first glimpse of the Alps, celebrating their success at navigating a subway system independently, listening to their goodbye/thank-you speeches (in German) at the end of the exchange...it's impossible to choose a favorite!

GAPP is recognizing the effort and dedication of GAPP Coordinators in 2022, nominated by collegues, who have successfully lead students on short-term exchanges to Germany and that show a passion for cross-cultural exchange and collaboration.
Come back each month to learn why these amazing teachers are a part of GAPP!

3. Maria - Dein Sprachcoach

Wie es ist, Deutsch lernen zu müssen und wo dabei die Schwierigkeiten liegen - all das kennt Maria nicht nur vom Hörensagen. Sie ist erst im Alter von 22 Jahren aus Russland nach Deutschland gezogen und musste selbst Deutsch lernen. Das macht Maria zu einer besonders tollen und einfühlsamen Lehrerin, denn sie kann sich problemlos in ihre Schülerinnen und Schüler hineinversetzen.

Auf ihrem YouTube-Kanal „Dein Sprachcoach" gibt Maria zudem viele tolle Ratschläge rund um die Deutschprüfungen und erzählt auch über ihr Leben in Deutschland. Die Videos sind total motivierend und einfach perfekt für alle, die noch nicht so lang in Deutschland leben und sich gelegentlich mit bestimmten deutschen Eigenheiten schwertun. Maria hat außerdem einen Account auf Instagram, auf dem sie fast täglich Vokabeln und Stories aus ihrem Leben postet.

Maria spricht nur auf Deutsch und das auch noch ganz ohne Untertitel. Deswegen sind ihre Videos perfekt, wenn du schon mindestens Grundkenntnisse auf Deutsch hast. Meine Empfehlung: ab dem Niveau B1 oder B2.

4. Sprakuko - Sprache, Kultur, Kommunikation

Patrick veröffentlicht regelmäßig neue Videos zur deutschen Sprache. Dazu gehören Videos zur Grammatik, zum Wortschatz und zur Aussprache.

5. Easy German - innovative Deutschlehrer auf YouTube

Hinter diesem YouTube-Kanal zum Deutschlernen steckt gleich ein ganzes Team aus Berlin. Bei Easy German geht es nicht nur um die deutsche Sprache, sondern auch um das Leben in Deutschland sowie um die deutsche Kultur. Die Gründer Cari und Janusz haben das Projekt 2005 ins Leben gerufen. Mittlerweile ist aus Easy German eine große Community geworden. Das Besondere an diesem Kanal ist, dass Cari und Janusz raus auf die Straße gehen und spontan Menschen interviewen. So hören Lernende, wie das wirklich gesprochene Deutsch klingt. Dank der englischen Untertitel kommst du auch dann mit, wenn du noch nicht so gut Deutsch kannst. Voraussetzung hierfür ist natürlich, dass du Englisch verstehst. Auf der Website von Easy German findest du jede Menge toller Lernhilfen wie einen Vokabeltrainer.

Easy German produziert Inhalte in vielen verschiedenen Ländern, darunter auch Polen, Russland, Korea und Mexiko. Das Format hat sich als dermaßen beliebt erwiesen, dass es inzwischen auch "Easy Italian" und "Easy Turkish" gibt.

6. Mit YouTube Deutsch lernen: Deutsche Welle

Die Deutsche Welle ist der Auslandkanal der öffentlich-rechtlichen Fernsehanstalten (ARD, ZDF, ...). Er richtet sich vor allem an Ausländer, die sich für Deutschland und die deutsche Sprache interessieren. Daher ist es nur logisch, dass du mit der Deutschen Welle auf YouTube Deutsch lernen kannst - und zwar ganz anders, als mit den anderen YouTube-Kanälen.

Die Deutsche Welle erzählt auf ihrem Youtube-Kanal die Geschichte von Nico. Nico kommt aus Spanien und landet in Deutschland am Flughafen. Allerdings kann er kein Deutsch. Das Material ist ab Niveau A1 geeignet und führt dich behutsam und vor allem mit viel Humor in die deutsche Sprache ein.

Für Deutschlerner ab dem Niveau B1 gibt es von der Deutschen Welle sogar eine Telenovela. Die Brasilianerin Jojo ist fürs Studium nach Köln gezogen. In drei Staffeln wird über Jojos aufregendes neues Leben in Deutschland berichtet.

Zusätzlich gibt es zu vielen verschiedenen Themen Videoreihen. Besonders gut ist, dass im Videotitel immer auch das Sprachniveau (A1, A2 , B1, ...) erwähnt wird.

Wer schreibt hier?

Deutsch ist einfach! Wird nur oft zu kompliziert erklärt! In der Schule habe ich nie verstanden, was meine Lehrer mit Dativ, Akkusativ & Co. von mir wollten! Als ich 2013 in Brasilien angefangen habe Deutsch zu unterrichten, musste ich mir daher alles selbst beibringen! Mein Wissen über die deutsche Grammatik war gleich Null!
Ich habe alles im Selbststudium gelernt und habe festgestellt, dass es eigtl. gar nicht schwer ist und (fast) alles klaren, strukturierten Regeln folgt!
Meine Mission ist es, allen die diese Strukturen noch nicht erkannt haben, zu zeigen und zu beweisen, dass Deutsch einfach ist, nur oft zu kompliziert erklärt wird!

Jointly funded and managed by the U.S. and German governments, the CBYX program provides 350 scholarships for high school students, high school graduates in vocational fields, and young professionals for an academic year home-stay program. Follow the links on the Programs page to learn more about the post-secondary programs and to connect with their implementing organizations.

Program Components

As a Congress-Bundestag Youth Exchange (CBYX) high school program participant, your exchange year will include:

Placement with a carefully selected German host family

Admission to a German high school

Pre-departure training in the United States and orientation programs in Germany

Language lessons upon arrival in Germany

Cultural excursions to the German Bundestag and select German cities

Meetings with U.S. and German government officials

The scholarship covers costs to participate in program activities, including:

Round-trip international transportation between the U.S. gateway city and your host community in Germany

Medical benefits

Lodging and meals provided by a volunteer host family

Approximately one-month of language training upon arrival in Germany

Tuition and academic materials, if required for your host school

Costs associated with obtaining a German residence permit/visa (participants should follow implementing organization instructions and timelines for this process)

In-country support

Transportation (while in Germany), lodging, and meals for participation in required program activities, such as the mid-year seminar and program-wide end of year activities in Berlin and Washington, D.C.

Participants will be responsible for some costs, including:

Transportation to and from the U.S. city of international departure/return

Spending money for personal use

Required medical examinations and immunizations; costs for management of pre-existing medical conditions (such as medications)

Costs associated with obtaining a U.S. passport in a timely manner

For individuals who demonstrate financial need, additional financial support for these expenses is available and can be applied for after an individual is informed of their selection for the program.

Why Apply to CBYX?

CBYX is for motivated high school students who want to experience a culture and learn a language through a full immersion experience. Learn about German culture first-hand by living with a host family and attending a German high school. Connect to a dynamic network of U.S. Department of State program alumni.

Gain new perspectives on global current affairs and German social, economic and political life. Learn the German language through immersion in the culture at school and at home. When you return after approximately 10 months abroad, you will have a greater sense of independence, empowerment, and global citizenship. You will make friendships through a shared experience that will last a lifetime, and you will become a true member of another culture.

Embark on an adventure that is unlike any other. Verify your eligibility for the CBYX high school program on our How to Apply page!

How do I know if it's right for me?

Any year abroad comes with many highlights and challenges. Your time in Germany will require you to adapt to a new culture, learn a new language, make new friends, and represent your home community and country. The program aims not only to expand your worldview, but also to improve understanding between the United States and Germany through your activities during your exchange. You will be a citizen diplomat and, as such, will be held to the highest standards. As a CBYX high school program participant, you will gain new perspectives on global current affairs and German social, economic and political life. You will make friendships through a shared experience that will last a lifetime, and you will become a true member of another culture.

What is the Program's History?

Initiated in 1983, CBYX strengthens ties between Germany and the United States through citizen diplomacy. CBYX is jointly funded by the U.S. Congress and the German Bundestag, and in the United States is overseen by the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs.
