This is how you actually can get to C2 level German. German is a difficult language to learn, and to get around native German speakers, you need to be at C-level (C1 / C2 Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) = Europäischer Referenzrahmen).

Learn German super fast with these no BS language learning tips. These come from my heart, and I would not tell you something that didn't work for me, as I learn my languages (Swedish, French, Chinese). I managed to get to C level English basically effortless though, because I guess I am just a language nerd. I am however also super lazy and I hate actively studying a language. So as a lazy language learner, these are the things I do to stay lazy and not work night shifts just to acquire a language. I do think that it doesn't have to be that way. But you just have to get to B2 somehow. That indeed is the magic trick. And it requires routine and discipline. Maybe that sounds basic, I don't know... but that's the truth. Everyone else telling you otherwise, I recommend you pay close attention to whether they are trying to sell you something. Cause if they tell you you can only learn a language through some course, then that may serve them more than it will you as an auto-didactic German learner. My channel is tailored towards autodidacts. I gain nothing from this. This channel is my pet project if you will (which is also the reason I don't post a lot). Do with that information what you will. Either way: happy studying!
I make videos about German language, German grammar and German culture. So if you are looking for these kinds of things–hi! Welcome. Most of the upcoming videos are made for beginners like you. Advanced videos (slow German, conversational german) will follow soon.
German language & grammar tips
This is my German language project. I just always wanted to do something like this. My main channel (mostly about minimalism and hiking) and my socials can be found below ↓↓↓ I don't really have a page for this project like a learning platform or anything, but if you have questions, you can contact me on Instagram, on TikTok (also German language & culture content) or in the comment section of course.
