Top panel: man smiling, caption reads “me clicking an ich iel post”. Bottom panel: man sad, caption reads “then remembering I can’t read German”.

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.
My feed is like: new game, political stuff, robots, ICH BIND SLWARKERNURFER MURKLE BURGEN KRUGEN ESBSISIDOFIDOWKD webcomic
oh no, not burgen krugen. I hate this guy
ESBSISIDOFIDOWKD
His ESB documentary of the empress Sisi was pretty good though
Why are you screaming?
It’s polite in some cultures
Tja
Tja
machste nix
Na ja *schlag aufs knie*
Langt aber auch jetzt schiebt Stuhl ein paar Zentimeter nach hinten
It’s ich iel, you get credit for trying
huh?.. but… but they said the thing… they said ich iel… jus capitalizsed 🏢 💼 😠 💸
Life’s too short to learn german. – Mark Twain
Das Leben ist zu kurz um Deutsch zu lernen. – Oscar WildeWait, 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.
Oh damn… I mean, yeah I totally knew that?!
I mean if one reads his stuff it’s rather obvious he must have had a German governess.
It certainly isn’t surprising to learn
Was ist ein “governess”?
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 enjoy ich iel a lot
I can hardly understand it yet it enthuses me so
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.
Def worth it to type into a translation app
For the people that are interested in this community: !ich_iel@feddit.org
Sometimes you dont need to read to understand
Sometimes you gotta bleed to know
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.
But that’s the fun, slowly and painfully learning deutsch from memes
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.
This was a conversation about convenience, not typing in a language that you aren’t native too.
As long as the language of the respective post shares the same or a similar alphabet as those you know, that’s not very difficult to do. Especially German-English isn’t hard to type. The worst thing might be Umlaute (ä, ö, ü) or the “sharp s” (ß). But that’s about the all of the difficulty there is.
Less convenient, sure. But not very much more effort either.
It still requires some effort. If I was in the mood to invest effort into something I wouldn’t be doom scrolling on Lemmy.
