Fachterminus bitte
jeder hat seine Präferenzen, einige benutzen "Fachbegriff", einige Terminus technicus 😄
warum kennst du dieses Wort 😂
weil ich's oft an der Uni gehört hab

Got a little confused
Meine Enttäuschung war groß, weil Sie in Ihrer Anzeige geschrieben haben, dass die Lieferung schnell und sicher war, jedoch war das Handy nicht nur nicht funktionierte, sondern auch der Bildschirm beschädigt war.
jedoch hat das Handy nicht nur nicht funktioniert, sondern war auch der Bildschirm beschädigt. @tacit nebula
So if i dont put jedoch, it will be
das Handy nicht nur nicht funktioniert hat, sondern auch war der Bildschirm beschädigt.
is that right?
Sondern war auch*
Could someone please explain when to use 'von' or the genitive case?
@safe cave Please try to ask questions in only one place, otherwise people will waste their time answering a question that's already been answered. #questions is the place for questions about German language anyway.
Gotcha, I was confused about which to stick it in. Will refrain in the future, thank you @wary atlas
What is this room for?
This room is for when someone hosts a lesson for people. They can use this channel to discuss and post links and so on.

Next time I wanna be early
Are you going to read too? 😄
It's okay. There will always be more readings in future.

"I'll be running a short reading session today 50 minutes from now. We'll be reading a Grimms fairytale today. They are usually around B level but feel free to join in no matter your level."
Reeeeee wtf we did science yesterday you're gonna make us too smart stop.
Never!!

@robust tulip guckst du hier
wieso?
Base were you gonna do another reading today?
Ja, kein Problem
Und was muss man vorlesen
Ein Märchen von Grimm
Jeder, der möchte, darf sich zum Vorlesen melden
Dann gehts der Reihe nach
und jeder wartet, bis er dran ist
- bekommt Unterstützung, wenns mal irgendwo schwierig wird
ah ok
das scheint ein guter Weg zu sein, um sich an das Sprechen und Verstehen zu gewöhnen
mach einfach mit
yay reading!! :D
Wann is dit?
in 26 minuten
du bist doch eh schon gut bro
@wary atlas you da bomb . com
man kann sich immer verbessern :)
ok dann lob ich dich halt nicht mehr 
bin definitiv überhaupt nicht perfekt 😂
Nicht gut genug, bis er Muttersprachler ist.
^ das wird schwierig 🤔
ich muss lesen, bis ich als Deutscher wiedergeboren werde
Will the document be on VK too?🤭
probably
which thing?
Vk
pretty sure you don't have to
there was a problem with the pdf and safari yesterday
Yea
what was the problem?
Could open it
it was stuck loading if i remember correctly
i couldn't open it with chrome either
It's not on vk.

Here is the link I use. http://www.gasl.org/refbib/Grimm__Maerchen.pdf
Ty Nully.

Awesooome!! Thanks 😄

base never does, his internet might though
👀
am I wrong 👀
Nein.

Sollen wir in Unterricht oder Practice Room gehen?
Unterricht.
Did someone say they have a story they want to read, btw?
I'd love Aschenputtel but I don't really care :}
I like Frau Holle
I have many novels that I want to read👀
Okay feel free to join whoever is interested in reading. We will start shortly. Assuming people show up. 😄
Page 109 Aschenputtel
I heard my name but what are saying
Just wondering if you are reading today.
Yes, what you want me to read
Have you started already
Not yet
Where are we
We're just starting now. We go in the order of the name list in the Voice Channel.
p.109
Bro starts.
@wary isle Would you like to read the next sentence?
Give me a moment Im making screenshots where are you now
Als der Winter kam, deckte
der Schnee ein weißes Tüchlein auf das Grab, und als die
Sonne im Frühjahr es wieder herabgezogen hatte, nahm sich
der Mann eine andere Frau.
If you can't read yet we can come back to you.
If you like.
Aschenputtel
yup
@terse token
pg 109
Aschenputtel
Als der Winter kam, deckte
der Schnee ein weißes Tüchlein auf das Grab, und als die
Sonne im Frühjahr es wieder herabgezogen hatte, nahm sich
der Mann eine andere Frau.
Die Frau hatte zwei Töchter mit ins Haus gebracht, die
schön und weiß von Angesicht waren, aber garstig und
schwarz von Herzen
@wary isle This one.
Aaaa I was at work
Can you translate it, Mayar?
@tawdry gorge We're still at it if you want to join
increase the volume when you use right click
be back in a bit
okay I’m curious, how is this working?
are you having some learner read a sentence
then discuss the meaning/grammar?
@wary isle »Seht einmal die stolze Prinzessin,
wie sie geputzt ist
!« riefen sie, lachten und führten es in die
Küche.
http://www.gasl.org/refbib/Grimm__Maerchen.pdf @lyric goblet seite 109
jeder liest einen satz auf deutsch und übersetzt ihn dann
One person reads a sentence and then translates it to English
And we also correct pronunciation, translations and discuss some meanings.
mind if I listen in for a round or two (without actually participating)?
(cause I don’t think I’d profit much from that :P)
du kannst auch versuchen, bei Betonung und/oder Aussprache zu helfen, wenn jemand das möchte
when you were reading, yes
I translated too
we didn't hear that
you’re currently muted
Yeah. We heard most of the translation but we missed half a sentence.
you probably did it yourself without noticing
Kuddelmuddel
why did you pick a version with old orthography though
isn’t müssen spelled, well, müssen
these days
No particular reason.
ist doch im original schöner
die formulierungen wären auch in einer überarbeiteten version veraltet
¯_(ツ)_/¯
ich glaub mein Buch hat da noch älter wirkendes Zeugs
mal reinschauen
ich mach’s nicht viel auf weil’s am auseinanderfallen ist
solange es noch einigermaßen verständlich ist sollte es ja gehen ^^
@wary isle Es trug sich zu, daß der Vater einmal in die Messe ziehen
wollte, da fragte er die beiden Stieftöchter, was er ihnen mit-
bringen sollte.
you're muted now, mayar, incase you didn't know
Why?
maybe when you're inactive, it mutes itself?
I can’t even hear properly
its ok no worries
Should I restart
what level text is it
:o do you think ill be able to read
Sure. Try it.
:D sec
im not reading
I restarted but now I can join, but sure I’ll see you later😭
:o suzu you should read
@terse token Er
kaufte nun für die beiden Stiefschwestern schöne Kleider, Per-
len und Edelsteine, und auf dem Rückweg, als er durch einen
grünen Busch ritt, streifte ihn ein Haselreis und stieß ihm den
Hut ab.
Sorry Mayar. 😦
Oh dear thank you for your work
That was nice and I’m looking forward to being more useful😭
link :o
😄 tyty
Aschenputtel dankte ihm, ging zu seiner Mutter Grab
und pflanzte das Reis darauf, und weinte so sehr, daß die Trä-
nen darauf niederfielen und es begossen.
Infinitive?
Tränen
ich komme zuruck in zwei drei minutes,I must set the keyboard in German language
»Du
Aschenputtel,« sprach sie, »bist voll Staub und Schmutz, und
willst zur Hochzeit
? du hast keine Kleider und Schuhe, und
willst tanzen
!«
Join next time. @robust tulip
Please do. ❤
@loud mulch Are you going to come and read? 😄
Maybe yeah
But I wanted to see anyway so I could translate it as a whole haha
Or at least sections I mean
Oh, sure. 😄
Täubchen
Kaum war eine Stunde herum, so
waren sie schon fertig und flogen alle wieder hinaus.
pg 111
thnx
At the end of the page.
Hallo! Do you mind if I just listen without participating?
I can't see why that would be a problem 😃
Thank you :D
Feel free.
What page are we on?
pg 112
👍
@fierce wren come read
nu
Und die Täubchen nickten mit
ihren Köpfchen und fingen an pick, pick, pick, pick, und da
fingen die übrigen auch an pick, pick, pick, pick, und lasen alle
guten Körner in die Schüsseln.
picken = peck
ß
y<->z
lasen auf --> auflesen --> to pick up @wary atlas @candid stag
@fierce wren
i said no
@burnt scaffold
lasen auf
I can read.
But I can't translate.
: (
That's great.
I'm having fun listening though.

i'm going to go, thanks so much for the lesson!

@pale crest Same :'(
@boreal zealot Can't wait to start reading and translating haha, I have A1 exam on the 13th. So this is great practice.
Viel Glück!!

BYE ERIN I MISS U
Danke.
good luck my fren!!
Aber sie sprach »es hilft dir alles nichts
: du kommst
nicht mit, denn du hast keine Kleider und kannst nicht tan-
zen
; wir müßten uns deiner schämen.«
pride
Danke.
stolz
Als nun niemand mehr daheim war, ging Aschenputtel zu
seiner Mutter Grab unter den Haselbaum und rief
»Bäumchen, rüttel dich und schüttel dich,
wirf Gold und Silber über mich.«
Why is it "seiner"🤔
I thought we were reading Cinderella??
yeah ^^
Seiner is genetiv ?
yes
Danke.
..kind of

Die Isla
I like how this seems to be a very recurring question
considering while I was in the call it was explained at least twice
Als nun niemand mehr daheim war, ging Aschenputtel zu
seiner Mutter Grab unter den Haselbaum und rief
»Bäumchen, rüttel dich und schüttel dich,
wirf Gold und Silber über mich.«
kannten --> erkannten
daw isla! i miss you too!
This is so difficult cuz I'm not familiar with Präteritum
It is tricky. 😄
But good practice too.
For B2 anyway.
. Der Königssohn kam ihm entgegen, nahm
es bei der Hand und tanzte mit ihm.
i would think it is difficult because it is old and nobody would speak or write like that anymore :D
lol
hahahah I see
yeah I am having a really hard time
💃🏽 🕺🏽
Dw, even if it seems hard, it really does train your reading comprehension. 😄
" He didn't let her hand go and when someone else to ask to dance he said this is my dance partner " ?
Something like that?
! im living proof!
Yeah.
Okay, good. I'm not as dumm as I thought I was.
@unkempt cedar
Base could you bring sth modern next time? @wary atlas
I can't get used to the pronoun!
We do different things on different days. @wary isle
da is referring to the time (abend)
^
join?
@wary atlas okay tomorrow there will be reading right?
Yeah.
Anyone know what form of past tense 'wär' is
because ive never seen that so I should research it
That's Konj 2 (i hope)
^
wäre = konjunktiv
because that umlaut
1 or 2
in modern german you would use "sei" in this sentence
I literally worked with konjuntiv 1 and 2 yesterday so I feel real stupid
oh okay
now I get it
so
sie sagte, dass sie ein schönes Mädchen wäre
would be old grammar
Taubenhaus would be just an old building or loft?
Verb at the end
I was gonna write mädchen
Der Alte
dachte »sollte es Aschenputtel sein
?« und sie mußten ihm Axt
und Hacken bringen, damit er das Taubenhaus entzweischla-
gen konnte
: aber es war niemand darin.
but then I didn't
Sie sagte, sie wäre eine schöne Tochter --> Sie sagte, sie sei eine schöne Tochter
Taubenhaus is simply a bird house
@pale crest
Yes thats right, you don't need dass, that is why I confused myself. I am very tired right now, I went to work at 5 today and got off at 12 (it's 12:30 now)
@burnt scaffold Syronoid, what do you think the difference between is
es gab niemanden da
es war niemand da
Kaiiii
es gab niemanden
es war niemand da
@autumn raptor http://www.gasl.org/refbib/Grimm__Maerchen.pdf
We're reading Cinderella
There’s a difference between gab und war in such a sentence
Page 113 and first paragraph.
thank you
^ sorry I got lost
He just read this.
Und als sie ins Haus
kamen, lag Aschenputtel in seinen schmutzigen Kleidern in
der Asche, und ein trübes Öllämpchen brannte im Schornstein;
denn Aschenputtel war geschwind aus dem Taubenhaus
hinten herabgesprungen, und war zu dem Haselbäumchen
gelaufen: da hatte es die schönen Kleider abgezogen und aufs
Grab gelegt, und der Vogel hatte sie wieder weggenommen,
und dann hatte es sich in seinem grauen Kittelchen in die
Küche zur Asche gesetzt.
thank you <333
taken away, I assume
wegnehmen = to take away
Thanks.
hi lads, where's the text?
danke
2nd paragraph 113.
Danke nochmal
brb
im a bit lost
Base just read
Da warf der Vogel ein noch viel stolzeres Kleid herab als am
vorigen Tag
we are on the next sentence
oh oh thanks
Floops you should join
Is warf the preterite tense of werfen?
Oh I don't like reading because I'm super shy.
I know all that. It's just that I can slow you down with my low self-esteem.
bruh
;;w;;
You wouldnt be slowing us down, donut worry, we're all here to learn

yeah true ;w;
Oh for reals?
:o
I have only done one reading circle so far and it was when I got the B role. :^)
flapy les read ! itll be fun :D
im really bad at read and translate so dont feel shy ah
and the peeps here are really friendly :D
just try it!
I don't even know if I have the time right now, my parents will tell me to sleep soonish 😦
so tomorrow it is :c
Nah. Tomorrow I'm off for vacation.
idk when base plans to do the next one
dance partner
but you could join now? tell ur parents that youre practicing german and youll sleep when its done?
ye ? ne ?
What tense is "hatte ge-"?
try it :o you never know until you try
don't push her :(
there will be more readings i guess
I'll try to do readings throughout most of July at least. So don't worry if anyone wants to wait for another reading.
I was lucky. I got a really easy sentence tbh lul
And other people might feel like hosting some now that it's summer vacation for most people.
Considering I havent even passed A1 haha
I will try to do a story for July, so we'll do a reading session on that one mkay?
flapy join whenever you can :D i wanna read with u
What they do when they host
It’s only bad that the night time for you is Morgen for most of us
can I get an ELI5 for readings? do you guys take turns reading and then translating?
nice, I would like to join one of these days but I'm not quite there just yet
is it okay if I just listen?
Yes.
can I also get the page
113
thank you
herrlichsten - most splendid?
yeah I just don't think I'd be able to translate lol so I'll pass
Er wartete aber, bis der Vater kam, und sprach
zu ihm »das fremde Mädchen ist mir entwischt, und ich glaube,
es ist auf den Birnbaum gesprungen.« Der Vater dachte
»sollte es Aschenputtel sein?
want to try it at least?
pear tree
Der Vater dachte
»sollte es Aschenputtel sein?
Sorry I gotta go! I promise to read next time hahah
fremde
Teri
Tschüssi
like stranger?
thanks
113
Und als sie in die Küche kamen, lag Aschenputtel da in der Asche, wie sonst auch, denn es war auf der andern Seite vom Baum herabgesprungen,
hatte dem Vogel auf dem Haselbäumchen die schö-
nen Kleider wiedergebracht und sein graues Kittelchen angezogen.
-Ari, will you be reading?-
danke ❤
kein problem! ❤
i'm not reading 😦
😦
hatte
hazel trees
show us up
@unkempt cedar najaaaa we'll have to see bc there's like people in the room rn 😩
kleider is clothes
Okay
or dresses
I might end here anyways, finish at the top of the page
and we can finish another day
😦
alright, let's continue next time then
you go sleep and get some rest
yeah! i had fun, learnt lots of words (?)
jaaa 😦
im gonna ask base to use a lower level book
i could hold a little session, but id do it only for kinda advanced learners, i dont think it makes too much sense if someone needs to ask for almost every word in a sentence. it just disrupts the flow so much
im looking at some right now
or we could do a reading session without translating and just focus on pronounciation
or that too, keep it for mostly b learners
I would like that turtle
since I always feel stupid reading, because my accent makes me sound weird.
okay, so we just need a time and a text
could we maybe find some bilingual books?
like those at paralleltext.io
so we could still know what they mean but not need to translate
@exotic echo what will they be about
Yes
I have some bi linugal books
ill link them
scroll down
there are like 10
options
someone could suggest a text and then translate it (or get others to (help them with it)) if need be
then read it later
paralleltext.io has the exact same books hmm
I tried reading Kafka since it was the only one originally written in German
but it was waaaay above my level
even with the translation I couldn't make sense of some things
Kafka is crazy yo
Ahh good old franz
i really like the interface of bilinguis http://bilinguis.com/book/alice/de/en/
@plain carbon don‘t worry. Even for natives reading Kafka can be a challenge haha
Thank you so much for sharing these websites @unkempt cedar and @plain carbon !
To those of you who were interested in doing a reading session today: I'm actually going to hold the reading session tomorrow instead of today. I hope that's okay for everyone. If not, I'll be holding more soon anyway.
I also have some interactive learning activities planned for later in the week if anyone's interested in that! If you have any preferences for what days of the week you would prefer to have reading/learning sessions on, feel free to let me know that as well.
cool
I'm going away on Tuesday.🤔 Until then, any time is fine for me.
If anyone is wanting to do a reading today, I can later. Wormic said to let an admin know that if I was gonna host one in advance so if we were wanting to do it around 6pm PST (right now it is 20 til 1) we could, that however is sadly very late for practically everyone but me so it might not work out. Let me know
yeah sure, you can host one
Yeah, I mean I was just curious if anyone would be able to be there, since 6pm for me is 9pm for the east coast, and that is the earliest I can do it

It’s late😴

Is "da sind Sie wie mein Mann" meaning something like "thats how he is"?
