AMD 5

For mein 5th AMD I watched the first hour of "V wie Vendetta" (a deutsche-dubbed version of the American film 'V for Vendetta'). Most of the dialogue was very sophisticated and well beyond my limited vocabulary - but I still felt I picked up on some short phrases that were helpful. I know watching dubbed-German is frowned upon, but I think it's helpful to watch a dubbed version of a film that you are somewhat familiar with. That way, you can pick up on translation differences that reveal the more natural speaking habits of native dialogue.

I also like looking through the youtube comments on German youtube videos to see some of the internet slang that Germans use. A lot of it is borrowed from English and is kind of funny to see in the middle of a bunch of a German words.

One of the top comments:

Steck die Rute rein,wirst ein braves Mädchen sein. <-

Haha xDD

Tried running it through googs translate, but just spit out nonsense. No idea what it means.

Bis morgen!
