Animated videos in German

To make a German cartoon video, choose German and type your topic, and Motion2D writes, narrates and captions it in German, for learners at a set level or for teams at work. German learners search for animation at their exact level, and German-speaking companies need training videos in German.

German for learners, level by level

Put the level in your topic, for example a short story about shopping, German A1, and the vocabulary and sentence length follow. Captions in German let learners read along while they listen.

Example topic: Wie entsteht ein Regenbogen?

  • German voices (Conrad and Katja)
  • Learner levels A1 to B2
  • German captions with correct umlauts

Training for teams in Germany, Austria and Switzerland

Onboarding, safety and process videos for German-speaking staff. Paste approved German text as a script so the wording matches your policies.

Example: a B1 story for learners

Topic: Deutsch B1: Eine Geschichte über den ersten Tag in einer neuen Stadt. A character arrives in Leipzig, finds the tram, registers at the Bürgeramt and makes a friend, in B1 vocabulary with German captions. Four minutes uses 5 credits. A slower A2 version of the same story uses 5 more.

German stories to retell

The Brothers Grimm collected tales such as Hänsel und Gretel, Rotkäppchen and Die Bremer Stadtmusikanten; the original texts are in the public domain and ideal for learners, since many already know the plot. For workplace training see employee training videos.

Formal or informal German?

Decide early whether your videos address viewers as du or Sie, and say so in your notes or script. Learner content and YouTube channels usually use du; corporate training and customer videos often use Sie. Mixing the two within a video sounds odd to native speakers, so keep it consistent across a series.
