Upon request by Zach, I made this cheesy video that teaches you German soccer phrases.

The clip is non-commercial and "just for fun", for anyone who wants to sue me for having the FIFA World Cup "trophy" in the clip. I stole it from a page that stole it.

    Mareen, I love this.

    What does 'After the match is before the match mean'?
  • Mareen Fischinger plus 3 years ago
    It means, that after the game, you aren't allowed to rest, and should remember that there is another one coming up very soon!
  • Mareen Fischinger plus 3 years ago
    Another guy just told me another meaning: That after the game you should not think about it anymore and go back to zero in your head to focus on the next one!

    'After the match is before the match'
    That doesn´t make much sense.

    'The King Is Dead, Long Live The King' and 'After the match is before the [next] match'

    Oh man! Mareen - You look IDENTICAL to my friend's grandmother, only much younger of course. She also lives in Germany, though she's Russian.
  • Mareen Fischinger plus 3 years ago
    Am I supposed to be happy about this?
  •  
  • fabiantoepel 3 years ago
    I like it even though some of the sayings are way to nice to be used still. Especially the one "Schiri du brauchst ne Brille" I would change to "Schiri du blinde Sau!"
    "Pfeif ab" and the obligatory: "Arschloch, Wichser, Hurensohn" at the goal kick of the other goalie are also necessary...
  • Mareen Fischinger plus 3 years ago
    Yea, I had them in mind, too. But we don't want to be too unsocial?

  • aaannnaaa 3 years ago

    Oh my god, I can't wait to get home and watch this! (No flash at work...)
    I'm sitting here in New York and actually feel the excitement going on in Germany right now - and a little proud. Let's hope our guys deliver!
  • Daniel SchÅ“n 3 years ago
    Just watched it. PFG, Mareen, PFG.
    Liebe Gruesse in die Alt-Stadt...
  • Mareen Fischinger plus 3 years ago
    What's PFG?
  • damon 3 years ago
    Just guessing, but I'm guessing Pretty F*cking Good...
  • Daniel SchÅ“n 3 years ago
    Yeah, that's an In Good Company reference. It can well be that I'm the only one who saw that film, though. What I wanted to say: Nice one!

    Even after reading everybody's comments, I didn't realize how good this was going to be. You have a fantastic voice. There's no way English is your second language...?
  •  
  • Cait Oppermann 3 years ago
    Wow. This is amazing. I'd only heard you speaking German in your videos and didn't realize that you sound American.
  • damon 3 years ago
    No doubt...her accents are seamless...

    Mareen = hot

    Great video. If you wanted true football/hooligan sayings you should have translated "Come and have a go, if you think your hard enough!"

    Man, I want one of these for Dutch instead of German

    I'm a fan of the sound of language and the one that appealed to me most was the "eleven friends" one. "Sollt ihr sein" comes off as one word and what a wonderful word it sounds!

    Ah! "sollt ihr sein" - "soul design" I love doing that.

    This video was very didatic and very well produced too, I must say :)

    Obrigado, Mareen!

    P.S - You never thought of making more german teaching videos, by any chance? :)
    The consequence of your video was to make me see a german - portuguese and german - english dictionary :)
    I guess I will start learning a new language.
  • Mareen Fischinger plus 3 years ago
    Oh how great does that sound!
    Yea, I would make more videos.

    By any chance can you tell me what he is saying: vimeo.com/clip:125361 .

    I think he is saying something funny about the other Germans at my school but I'm not sure.

  • wreckandsalvage plus 3 years ago

  • Mareen Fischinger plus 3 years ago
    Sure. I'd love to see it later.
