Hey German Study Buddies,

I think watching German youtube for the past year or so has allowed my German to improve so much. Adopting the German colloquialisms and listening to the fluency and grammar structures in the videos has really helped me so so much! For anybody learning a language: youtube is the best!

Not only is it fun to watch the many funny videos or hauls (yes…I have obsession with clothing hauls), but also you can learn so much by just continually listening to the German. Anyway, it took me a while to find these German youtubers so I thought I would share them in one big master post here:

PS: if you know any other good German youtubers let me know and I’ll add to the list! :) PPS: I put a little heart next to my favourite ones x
