    Die Eule bringt dich um.

    The owl takes you around the corner to shoot you.

    “Um die Ecke bringen” also equals killing in german.

    Aber sonst komplett richtig.

        Nicht perfekt, aber komplett verständlich. Wenn du ohne großen Aufwand üben willst, könntest du versuchen gelegentlich einen Streamingdienst oder ähnliches auf Deutsch mit englischen Untertiteln umzustellen. Ähnliches hat mir vor Ewigkeiten sehr mit meinem Englisch geholfen.

        Hi fellow Ami learning German!

        It took me a number of years to get to fluency but the biggest things that helped me were the following:

        1. uses classes/tools to learn the basic grammar so that you can recognize more or less what is going on (even if you don’t always understand the individual words)

        2. switch as much media consumption as possible to be exclusively German. I spent 6 months watch exclusively German shows/TV, reading German news, listening to German music. Eventually I kind of trained myself to switch my inner-monologue to German whenever I wanted.

        After that it’s just practice practice practice. Also it helped me a ton to stop worrying about getting everything “right” when speaking. Better to speak fluently while occasionally fucking up the der/die/das than to stumble because I’m stressing over every sentence!
