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.

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

me blocking the community since i can actually read it

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

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.
