    ich_iel is the worst place to learn german, the running gag is to translate stuff from english literally while actively ignoring the context.

      That honestly sounds like it would be hilarious.
      Does it translate well back into English enough to get the joke?

        Yes, ich_iel mostly just takes English words and translates them 1:1. Doesn’t actually make sense in German, but that’s part of the joke. If you translate it back to English 1:1 again you should understand it perfectly.

        As a native German speaker I often had to translate ich_iel memes 1:1 to English first to understand them myself. Its basically English but in German.

          The English idioms must be super confusing. We have some odd ones like “chop a tree down” followed immediately be “chop a tree up”.
