Aside from talking to natives, I find one of the best ways on how to learn German in Vienna and to increase my vocabulary is to read and watch TV in German. Generally, I try to read the news and watch videos on YouTube, but recently I discovered the series ‘Dark’ and it’s absolutely amazing. It was recommended on the ‘Easy German’ YouTube channel as being a good one for learners because the subtitles are so close to what the characters are saying. It’s sort of Sci-fi mixed with crime, I’m totally addicted! I can only watch it when I’m awake and full of energy though, because I have to concentrate so much to understand what’s happening. It’s way beyond my ability level so a normal 50-minute episode normally takes me an hour and a half to watch, but I feel like I would rather be watching something to difficult that is also interesting, than something in my ability level which is boring. When I watch it and I come across a new word, I write it down with the translation next to it, so I can slowly build a list of new words. There’s only one series of it on Netflix at the moment and I’m not yet sure what I’m going to watch next!
