German Pronunciation - Learn in Minutes Some Easy Pronunciation Tricks for Beginners Learning German

Order: Reorder
Duration: 6:31
Updated: 09 Sep 2012

German Pronunciation is sometimes tricky for beginners learning German as a second language. (BTW: visit www.facebook.com/VisualGerman for additional words and video on Learning German, German Pronunciations, German Grammar and more) The right sounds in the German Language are a foreign tongue at first, but learning German can be fairly easy if you pick up some good tips and tricks along the way. Don't go for the bait: "Learn German in 5 Days!!" (or any language for that matter). That's pretty much what it sounds like: shinola. Learning a new language is an applied effort, but the better you are at learning tricks to help you get comfortable, especially with new pronunciations and sounds, the easier it gets to learn any language more quickly. And this in turn will 'tune your ear' as you learn, making listening to a language you are learning a lot easier, because you understand the sounds more easily. It also helps you ease into conversational German (or again, any language) more comfortably. And when you start being conversational in German, your language learning will accelerate at a pace that's going surprise you. You will not "Learn German Fast!" or "Learn German Overnight!", but if you begin by working on some basic language sounds that differ from English, you will be speaking with a more convincing German Pronunciation, and sound less like a hack. And do visit us at Visual German on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/VisualGerman for additional easy help on Learning German, and German Pronunciation. http://youtu.be/AWKQczMIhU0 http://youtu.be/AWKQczMIhU0

Buffalo ARV vs. Bison Actros AK 8x8 (German Language)

Order: Reorder
Duration: 12:03
Updated: 03 Nov 2014

480p Two Military Recovery Vehicles compete against each other . This one is called Bison and is only since 2012 for the Bundeswehr in use . The other is the Buffalo armored recovery vehicle as has already 20 years of service under his belt . Which of the two vehicles is stronger? A not taken too seriously showdown of two steel force limbers . The Bergepanzer 3 Buffel (Buffalo) armored recovery vehicle was developed by Rheinmetall. It is based on the Leopard 2 chassis and is fitted with powerful recovery system. With introduction of the Leopard 2 main battle tank in 1979 it appeared that the previous Bergepanzer 2A2, based on the Leopard 1 MBT chassis, was not powerful enough to support the new main battle tank. A development program for a new armored recovery vehicle was launched. The first prototypes of the Bergepanzer 3 were completed in 1988. Deliveries of the new ARV commenced in the early 90s. **I DON'T OWN ANYTHING, NO COPYRIGHT INTENDED** (C) All rights reserved to the artist and their production company Copyright Act 1976, allowance is made for "fair use" for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.
