    Funny short videos for learning German

    Apart from actually studying the German language, it’s good to watch German movies (or just German TV, because all the movies are dubbed in German), to listen to radio, to read small, easy stories written in German and so on.

    1st Step:

    One of my favorite TV entertainers is Martina Hill. She got really famous for Knallerfrauen, some very good comedy sketches, really underrated. One episode is about 30 minutes long, but on the Knallerfrauen Youtube Channel the sketches are posted individually (about 2 minutes each) and it is tiring to see them like this. Anyhow, you can take a look and maybe buy the whole Knallerfrauen series. These is a good start for those who want to get familiar with Germans and their language. The good thing about these sketches is that they don’t talk much and you can certainly understand the pun without German knowledge. Anyhow, most of these youtube videos have english subtitles, so yeah, they are pretty easy to follow.

    2nd Step:

    Once you are familiar with the language and you are ready to hear some more german words you can go to Martina Hill’s personal Youtube Channel where she posts some funny, approximately 10 minutes long, videos, where she mostly talks. These videos are harder to understand for those who just started learning German, but they have english subtitles, so it’s easy to watch them.

    Hope this helps! Have fun! German language is great!

    What happened to Martina Hill and Knallerfrauen?

    One of my favorite TV entertainers is Martina Hill.

    She got really famous for Knallerfrauen – some very good comedy sketches, really underrated. She and her crew from Knallerfrauen certainly deserve more recognition.

    Is Knallerfrauen canceled?

    I don’t know what it has been happening with that show. It isn’t officially over, but the next season kind of got postponed and the last episode was released in 2015 :/. Since then, we’ve all been expecting to watch season 5 of Knallerfrauen, but we haven’t had any luck.

    Why isn’t there a season 5?

    What I don’t understand is why did they stop something so good and famous?! This is beyond my comprehension. The show was certainly hers, no one can replace Martina in Knallerfrauen. Knallerfrauen IS Martina. On the other hand, the crew was very-very good, especially the writers who came up with the  most funny and crazy (relatable though) situations. The writers need her and she needs the writers and the public needs Knallerfrauen. It really made our lives better!

    Not to mention that the show had a very good response in China. Chinese spectators got crazy about Martina. I am sure they are willing to pay good money to see her.

    So, if the money is not a problem, why did they stop the show?

    I really hope that in the future they will continue producing Knallerfrauen with Martina Hill.

    Until then, you can follow Martina on her Facebook page or her Youtube Channel.
