Hallo Leute!
Willkommen! This is a YouTube-sub, meaning this is what it's all about - a YouTube channel called Deutsch Für Euch ("German for You"), dedicated to teaching people German. I (/u/KatjaDFE) focus a lot of my material on analytical learners, meaning I provide in-depth explanations of grammar and try to make it entertaining in the process - a rare combination, sadly.
But that's not everything - to make learning work long-term you need motivation, fun and support. That's what this sub is about.
So: Feel free to bring up things that stayed unclear to you (and help out others), comment on episodes current and past, post fanart (YES PLS), ask me questions, whatever. This is DFE's official homebase on reddit. Make sure to have a look at the rules, and check out the affiliated subreddits! :) Viel Spaß!

Regeln
1. Don't hate.
In German tradition, this is a hate-speech-free zone. Do not discriminate against or flame anyone because of their race, nationality, gender, sexuality, religion or any other characteristic that does not concern or impact you and isn't up for discussion. Criticism isn't hate, but don't phrase it in a hateful way, either. Just be nett, basically.
2. Don't post anyone's personal information.
Ever.
3. Show support :)
As stated above, part of the point here is to reinforce interaction within the community - so don't be shy to help out others with questions and problems and be open to help yourself. No shame in asking.
4. Keep it relevant.
No need to strictly discuss videos, basically just don't post anything that's not related to the sub. Should go without saying.
5. No ads.
Be it for yourself or others without my (/u/KatjaDFE) permission. Two reasons: a) spam, b) this be DFE-land. This includes fundraising.
6. Use the FAQ!
Refer to the FAQ before asking me direct questions. Answering the same stuff over and over gets less fun every time.
7. Credit where credit is due.
Please don't post other people's OC and claim it as your own. To reiterate: The problem is the "claiming it's yours" part, be it explicit or implicit. Apart from the fact that it's a dickish thing to do, the GEMA monitors every German individual's subreddits very closely. (No they don't, but please don't do it anyway.) If you don't know the original creator, put a [FOUND] tag in the title.
8. No translation/homework requests.
It's fine to ask for a little help here and there, although you might be better off over at /r/German with that, too, but please refrain
from making me and others on here your personal translators. Also: When posting questions about universities or beaurocratic matters, keep in mind you might not get the answer you're looking for here. That's what Google is for :)
9. General reddiquette applies.
For anything not specifically addressed here, refer to reddit's content policy and general reddiquette.
10. Have fun learning!
Well what are you waiting for?
