I should have dropped those videos the first time someone told a joke that fell flat (there were many, let me tell you) and simply looked for something else. Since then I\u2019ve watched dubbed Swedish police dramas, unboxing videos, camera reviews, documentaries on bugs, and makeup tutorials \u2013 because there is literally no limit to the kind of German content you can find online.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not only that, but you can import your favorite German content into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lingq.com\/en\/learn-german-online\/\">LingQ<\/a>.
