Deutsche Musik always puts me in such a good mood and also realigns my focus to my goals. It’s such a good motivator to fall even more in love with the language and culture. Anyone have any recommendations?? Comment below or share your plyalist! Follow my playlist!
Hallo German Study Buddies, I recently completed a topic about Gleichberechtigung zwischen Frauen und Männern (Equality between women and men) and I thought I would share some vocabulary.
This has honestly been the most interesting topic I’ve learnt about in German because I actually got to gain a deeper insight into the oppression of women in developing countries, whilst expanding my German vocabulary to be able to talk about these deep and contemporary issues!
Enjoy!

D E U T S C H L A N D A U S T A U S C H Hey guys!! So I’m currently in Germany! It is my first time in Germany and I’m here on a learning exchange program. I’ve been speaking German the whole time here and it’s amazing to see the differences between Melbourne and Germany. Hopefully I’ll improve my German by miles. I’ve already gotten a lot more confident in speaking. I’m so so blessed to be able to have this experience and I can’t wait to share all the new vocabulary and words I learn on this trip! Til next time xx
I’ve always believed that the best way to learn a language is to expose one’s self to media in your target language. Whether that be youtube videos, movies, TV-Shows or even music, a little bit of exposure can go a long way and it’s amazing to see how much of the language you can pick up!
I’ve been exposing myself to A LOT of German media and one thing that I’ve recently collected are some German songs. There are actually quite a lot of good German music out there, you just have to look! I thought I would share my German playlist here and help you guys add some music listening to your german-learning routines!
I hope you like my music (don’t judge my taste :) )! There is music from rap to the latest German hits to dubstep! Hopefully, you’ll be able to find at least one good song in my playlist! My playlist is called “Luftkuss” and it is on Spotify!
I need to add more German music so tell me if you have any recommendations!
Lots of love xx
Hallo ihr Lieben,
I am back with another Deutsche Vokabeln Liste from H2O Just Add Water. I’ve been watching H2O Just Add Water on Youtube (Throwback I Know :) ) in German. I’ve been forcing myself to watch it without subtitles and surprisingly, I can understand most of it! (*mini dance*) However, I still have a lot to improve on!
I remember H2O being on TV when I was younger but I never used to watch it. I’ve been watching the third season (mein Favorit ist die dritte Staffel, weil ich Bella und Will liebe) and there is actually SO MUCH DRAMA (I actually can’t even with the drama- it gives me heart palpitations). Anyway, that’s enough from me! Here is some German vocab I collected! I highly recommend watching H2O if you are learning German- it’s amazing how much you pick up from watching TV shows in a foreign language! I linked it up above!
