Great Reasons For Learning German Slang

One of the best ways to learn to speak a foreign language well is to invest some time learning the colloquial lingo. Everyday colloquial lingo allows you to develop more personal relationships with the locals, which means you’ll be more motivated to learn and you’ll have loads more fun with the language. If you’ve studied any German, but feel your German could use a kick in the pants then cool German slang words can revive your enthusiasm and motivation for German. The fact is that German slang is surprisingly fun and the sooner you get cracking learning cool German lingo the better!

German slang for everyday: It’s a fact that even if you are familiar with the German language basics, if you don’t know German slang phrases you will be lost in many casual German conversations. Ordinary Germans use plenty of colorful slang expressions when sharing day-to-day experiences, chatting over a coffee at work or over a beer at the local bar. German slang is an essential part of everyday German conversation that strangely is often overlooked by German learners.

German language for spice: If you think of the German language as food, then think of German slang as the salt, pepper and spices. German slang phrases add spice and flavour to otherwise bland, standard German conversation and makes the German language loads more palatable. Sure you can survive without slang, but life tastes a whole lot better with it.

German slang is sassy and sexy: Slang is sassy, sexy lingo that can help you impress members of the opposite sex. Guys, do you want to see a girl’s eyes sparkle with interest? Then add a sprinkling of popular slang terms in your German language. It’ll make you seem more fun and relaxed. And girls, you’ll be pleased to know that it works just as well for you when you want to come across as approachable and someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously. It’s a simple equation: english speaking foreigner + german slang = sex appeal. Don’t ask me why, it’s just the way it is. German colloquial lingo is a secret weapon to getting lucky in Germany.

German slang for irony and exaggeration: Like in English, Germans often convert originally negative words to a positive sense in order to emphasize or intensify, as in “terribly good” or “awfully nice”. Youth slang is more concerned with being intense in order to push the language beyond its limits. Youth slang makes use of a whole series intensifiers, such as galaktisch-, giga-, hyper-, maxi-, mega-, ober-, super-, turbo-, ultra-, and more.

German slang to break the ice: German slang is as volatile as slang in any other language and does have a limited life expectancy. This means that when you use the latest popular German slang phrases and terms you’re demonstrating that you’re “with it”. This makes a great impression when meeting Germans for the first time.

German slang for Al Bundy: Are you the Al Bundy type who likes to sit in front of the telly on the sofa with his hands in his pants? Then you’re going to have to get to grips with German slang expressions because they’re all over the media. As an important part of everyday language, German slang is on TV, in German magazines, in advertising, on German billboards and – in your face!

German slang for innovation: Slang and colloquial terms that are boldly innovative today may enter the standard language tomorrow. This means that by learning the latest German slang phrases, you will be surfing the cutting edge of German language innovation.
