Every now and then I just save the German memes and send them to my English group chats to make sure they're confused too.

Right? I think they're underestimating the comedic value of dropping a half understood meme in an American group chat.

It's frustrating because I don't know German. I still click the links every time.

Germans browsing Lemmy at 3am: Guten Morgen

Edit: I used AI to make this. I’m not proud, but I am lazy.

I've deleted memrise and am strictly learning German through these memes, I'm confident I'll be fluent by the end of the year.

I'm in Ohio and my German is meh but I can understand 65%ish of what I see. It helps I lived in Duesseldorf for a year, but that was over 35 years ago so it doesn't help enough.

That moment you finally understand German and realise all the Stör and Tisch memes are just simple word plays.
