Life's too short to learn german. -- Mark Twain

Das Leben ist zu kurz um Deutsch zu lernen. -- Oscar Wilde
Wait, Oscar Wilde spoke German?
From their early childhood the Wilde boys had a French nanny and a German governess, so that they grew up speaking German as well as French.
Well colour me surprised as well xD
!rance@jlai.lu (French shitpost comm)
!wir_iel@feddit.org (German leftist shitpost comm, the joke is instead of “me_irl” it’s “us_irl”)
Just had a look. !wir_iel@feddit.org is a bit more than just leftist. It would be similar to calling Trump center right.

I can hardly understand it yet it enthuses me so
I can identify. Sometimes I check the comments to see if someone asked for an English translation.
Always feel free to do so yourself! I'm always happy to see foreigners interested in our culture
Cool. I will.
Sometimes you dont need to read to understand
Sometimes you gotta bleed to know
You can't always figure it out, but German is so similar to English you can sometimes get the gist of it.
Exactly, for example, "ich bin laden" pretty transparently translates roughly to "I am loaded with accusations of lying underground with an air pipe and a fan"
I should learn it. I spent a few hours there on my way to Afghanistan. Beautiful country.
But that's the fun, slowly and painfully learning deutsch from memes
Fellas, is it possible to learn the Deutsche language just from ich iel?
Well, it's not as quite bad as learning English from !i_itrl@feddit.org.
Fick. Mir auch...
das ist sehr glüklich... aber ich kann nichts deutch gelesen.
There he is get him
SPEAK

That is very ???... But I can't ??? German.
I guess I "lucky/happy" instead of funny. I thought gelesen was ...a feasable conjugation for read.
EHRE
Dobre teda. Keď vy po Nemecky, tak ja po Slovensky!
Tja…
Machste nix…
I enjoy ich iel a lot
For the people that are interested in this community: !ich_iel@feddit.org
I like to share the memes to lens and have it translate. It's fantastic and I love their memes.
Thats why I blocked the whole community.
If I did that I'd have missed this gem.
No idea what it says but Lego meme!
The meme is a reference to a popular German YouTube channel, called "Held der Steine" (basically translates as "Hero of Bricks").
On the channel, a guy shows off building block sets which you can then also buy in his accompanying shop. Up until a few years ago, it was almost exclusively Lego sets. Then Lego sent him a mail that his channel logo, which contained a Lego-like brick shape, violated the Lego trademark.
At a later point, they also demanded videos of him to be taken down where he had colloquially referred to building block sets from other manufacturers as "lego", as we often do in German.
And yeah, this did not go down well, so now the guy mostly shows off building block sets from other manufacturers and frequently highlights how insanely expensive Lego is in comparison.
It's not like translation is hard these days, but I will say it's rare I do it for ich_iel myself as well. In this case the meme says:
On android you can hold the bottom gesture area and it brings up Google ai "what's on my screen" mode and it has a translate function that will replace all the German text on the screen with English, seems to work pretty well at least on the German memes.
I'm a dinosaur, still browsing on a desktop PC. But I'm going to see if there's a similar plugin I can use. Thanks for the tip.
Nice... Seems to work. Thanks!
Anecdote: This isn't guaranteed to work, since in ich_iel we somet8mes use "Zangendeutsch" which means, that we forcefully translate words, or parts of word, that are somewhat normalised, but are not native German words, back into German in the dumbest most confusing way possible.
Sure, while simultaneously sending everything on your screen to Google for them to build up a profile of all the content you're looking at, even when it's not on their platform...
Anyone got good German learning resources? I took courses on it a decade ago and would love to get back into it. Tried Duolingo a while ago but I find it sucks with actual mechanics and just sprays and prays sayings.
Babbel is pretty good, it's a german company and they offer a lot of free courses aswell. Good luck on your journey! Just skip the articles, we native germans sometimes have trouble remembering the correct form lol

Translators are a thing, you know?
On iOS you can select the text in the meme itself and get a translation in seconds. Not sure about android cause I just don’t use it, don’t hate me.
It's the same on Android
Besides character recognition in images, most people are also able to type.
Def worth it to type into a translation app
You haven't missed anything.
