About the Author: jan

My name is Jan and I live in the south west of Germany. My profession is being a project manager at a company that creates digital media (first of all internet related things). This is my job since over a decade so I´m quite familiar with the web and its tools. Whereat today almost every school kid does. But that´s one of the main reasons why nowadays there are quasi no more limits in the internet and so it can be used for all imaginable types of things. For example learning languages! And that´s where we are at the moment. I first got in touch with Transparent Language when my family and I used to live in France a couple of years ago. I just had a break from work and by coincidence I produced some cultural videos in French. A few months later the whole blogging thing came up and I was lucky to be a part of it. So now my (second) job is to feed you with information, exercises, vocabulary, grammar and stories about Germany and German language. For being a passionate videographer I´m trying to do this more and more by videos. If you have any wishes or needs of topics that should be treated here, please don´t hesitate to contact me via a comment field. I´m open to your suggestions (as long as they are not too individual) and will try to satisfy your needs.

Great practical video! German Blog–more videos like this, please!
Fred:

Excellent video. This is the type of audio-visual aids that help people learn practical language faster. I noticed that you did not translated the verb ‘entriegeln’ (to unlock/unlatch)-super functional verb to know- and also I want to comment on a few of the translations. The word “der Schaltknüppel” is better translated as ‘gear stick'(British English) and ‘stick-shift'(American English). The word ‘das Navigationssystem’ is the same in English: Navigation system, or GPS* (more colloquial use).*Global Positioning Satellite. Thats my 2 cents. Love your work. Hochachtungsvoll, Fred
Dennis:
