Don't forget r/de on Reddit


The memes and comments there actually helped me a lot with learning expressions, idioms, and “shorthand” that modern German speakers use. Little everyday nuances I would have missed from just reading books.


Hmm, actually a lot of the memes there are parodies of the English ones you find on Reddit. Just saying that a lot of them are almost nonsensical to someone not familiar with Reddit's English language meme culture.


That's probably a bad idea, r/de delights in literal translations of English expressions and memes. Many comments are completely incomprehensible to outsiders. It's a parody on the English-speaking parts of reddit and not a good place to learn German. Not unless you can distinguish when they're butchering the language for fun from when it's actual colloquial German.


oh! definitely going to check that out. thank you!
