    I’m sturggling with German in school and so I thought that consuming any media that is German must help. It actually doesn’t, but occasionally I manage to somehow translate a meme and then I get the funnies.

      Believe me, it’s a good tactic, I got quite profficient in english that way, you just need to find interesting media, you’ll learn it in no time!

        Yes, it’s literally the way I have learned English. But German media is so scarce it’s not even funny.

          It’s usually also not that good. But Germans dub everything. The German dub of Cowboy Bebop is actually really good. (IMHO: better than any sub-translator)

          Also, if you’re into old games: The gothic series is from Germany and therefore full of fully voiced German.

      Consuming media in the language you want to learn is a great tactic. If you want to look for something at an easy to understand level, try looking for “[language] immersion” or “[language] comprehensible input”.

      I can’t really judge how hard they are for a non-native speaker but this channel (Easy German) has a lot of nice videos, all in german.
