Do worksheets/exercises from the resource list.
Do writing and translation tasks from this server. They're posted every week and if you get the roles, you get pinged when they are posted.
Type >ex beginner in #botchannel for beginner tips/advice too.
Are there free online textbooks I can use?
@wet ledge what are you looking for? there are lots of free grammar explanations with exercises online.
Books? I'm not sure, as a beginner try duolingo and dw.de courses
(both are free)
There is a book called Basic German in the resource list which you can use.
It's sort of an explanation of grammar and so on, but with exercises. And you can add extra exercises on top of that.
If you have money, get LingQ
If you don‘t have money, get a job
Speaking of which, do teenagers have jobs in Germany?
Generally teenagers are obligated to either attend to school or to learn a profession
There are some jobs that are permitted like carrying out newspapers
And learning a profession might be paid too.. but those are a bit fringe cases
its not really either/or
you have to have 10 years of visiting school
no matter if you worked in that time
Guys how do you say some water/some distance/some food in German?
etwas/ein bisschen
with distance it depends a bit on the context
Hi everyone!
I'm planning on starting a lesson for more advanced (I guess B and up) learners in which we'll read through a 'classic' German novel together, discussing content and language. Since we wouldn't be able to read the whole thing in one session, this lesson requires a bit more organization and planning.
For now I'd just love to know if there's any interest in doing something like that.
If you're interested, please ping me or DM me by May 2nd. 8pm CEST so that I can notify you about further planning and finding a proper time/date.
Regarding the novel, I'm open for suggestions. Thus far, I've considered 'Zwischen neun und neun' by Leo Perutz which is even set in lovely Weeno and features the Weeno dialect.
I can provide the pdf for this one.
(But y'all know I'm always in for a little Kafka
)
The objective of this lesson is to give everyone the awesome feeling of completing an entire classical German novel, to practice reading native German aloud, to introduce idioms and new vocabulary, and to discuss content with fellow participants.
Classical German literature isn't as scary as you might think, I promise.
@wheat kite ping
@wheat kite I've never read a foreign novel ever completely
@wheat kite pong
<@&526087868079144961>
See message from @wheat kite above and indicate if interested.
@wheat kite You had me at Weeno.
@wheat kite would be great! I have exams until late may so I'm not 100% sure I could take part though
@wheat kite don't think im quite B but I wanna try
Don't worry, we only laugh at people behind their backs
I might occasionally hop on for more help, as always
who pinged me?
chill it was global
Ahh danke
@ruby ocean re ping
ALT CODES for umlauts
Alt + 148 = ö
Alt + 129 = ü
Alt + 225 = ß```
@wheat kite would be interested depending on timezone for us in kangaroo land
Depending on how many people are actually interested I can see us having two meetings a week, each for different time zones going over the same parts of the book. But we'll see how it looks and decide then :>
@wheat kite I might join.
@wheat kite I'd like to join the Reading group!

excuse me i have a question
why is the biBchen spelt with the weird B
»Ja, adieu, ihr!« sagte Hans Hansen zu den Kameraden. »Dann gehe ich
noch ein bißchen mit Kröger.« -- Und die beiden wandten sich nach links,
indes die anderen nach rechts schlenderten.
lets go
laulau lieslies
@tranquil escarp quick question (for reals), how is your English so good? did you study abroad? have a sexy teacher? or what?
I drank blood of young English children to get their powers. Also made me like tea and driving on the wrong side of the road, so I had to switch to American children instead. Now I just like McDonalds and I can live with that.
LOL
I mean, a lot of people from our region sounds like russian in dire need of coffee...
And your accent is on fleak
My dad can speak it at about B2 or C1 as a stretch, so he pretty much started teaching me when I was a kid. And accents are just practice and exposure I guess. I can usually trick random people on the street into believing I'm Austrian if I don't talk too much and fuck up basic grammar. :^)
Might be worth to actually ping them
Post a new message instead of editing the old one btw. they don't ping in retrospect :')
Okay everybody,
please vote for the dates/times for our first Book Club session to take place. You can answer for every slot individually.
It should show you the options for your time zone so that you don't have to do the conversion manually.
Please answer the poll by May 5th 8pm CEST.
Thank you <3

how many ways are their to say for giving directions in german?
You mean like cardinal directions? Btw you should ask in #questions for stuff like this. @unborn void
oh sorry
Np.
So... The dates are set!
We will have two sessions a week covering the same parts of the novel so that as many interested members of the server have the opportunity to participate as possible.
They will be identical, so you only have to attend the one most convenient for you each week.
And don't worry if you have to sit out for a week. I will provide a summary for the covered content so that you can rejoin the following week.
I'm looking forward to reading with you, you lovely people!
PS: Feel free to chime in spontaneously even if you're not on this list. Everybody is welcome.
PSS: If you aren't on the list already and want to be notified please feel free to ping or dm me so that I can add you to my list of pingerinos. :>
Sessions for the Book Club Week 1:
3pm May 11th 2019 CEST = 9am May 11th 2019 EDT = 11pm May 11th 2019 AEST
1am May 12th 2019 CEST = 7pm May 11th 2019 EDT = 9am May 12th 2019 AEST
@tawdry gorge @hollow narwhal @river willow @candid stag @tranquil escarp @magic salmon @wary atlas @prisma dew @boreal zealot @regal swan @jaunty sandal @sage granite @vital valve @neon plume @orchid kindle @rotund elbow @long minnow
1am is when I come home from work so chill
~> oh jesus
I thought you wanted to read
Oh no Bro can't read.
XD
We will talk about the book in the first session. Because nobody suggested anything else I will prepare two different books (Zwischen neun und neun/Biedermann und die Brandstifter) and the people present in the first session hold the power to choose for all of us 
a very easy child's book
If everything goes well this won't be the last book we read, so don't worry if you don't like the pick :>
And work starts at 7pm
Oh that reminds me.
Today I saw a posted for Biedermann und die Brandstifter at the Volkstheater, but I had to hurry to get to my lecture so I couldn't take a pic for you. :^(
Milly what levels would you recommend to be there?
C3
Oh... I'd go love to go with you Arremo because the piece is awesome <3
Millman go Weeno.
ah lol didn't realise millipede was running it 
Ooof see. I don't think the style of writing of either book is particularly complicated for classical german literature but I'm not very good at estimating which level would suit which text.
Since we're reading the novel together and discuss vocab/idioms and such you don't have to be too scared though.
I think B upwards would be best to get the most out of it because basic grammar shouldn't be an issue anymore with those levels.
If you're interested you can always join and listen for a while to evaluate if you feel comfortable participating. :)
@storm warren
(In my opinion being interested is always the most important thing you have to bring to the table. <3)
Oh no, is that a good or a bad realisation, @vital valve 
Very good one of course... now to decide 11pm or 9am hmm sleep in or not
Went to vienna multiple times before just to see plays at the Burgtheater so it wouldn't be a weird thing for me to do @tranquil escarp

1am May 12th 2019 CEST = 7pm May 11th 2019 EDT = 9am May 12th 2019 AEST``
@oblique cloud
Oh nice! Hope it’s ok if I can join - I’ve been learning German since January but only by myself so would love the opportunity for some communal learning 😃
@oblique cloud type >sub Reading in #botchannel to get notifications about reading sessions ^^
It's between two books, which will be chosen in the earlier of the two sessions @oblique cloud
- Zwischen neun und neun
- Biedermann und die Brandstifter
Milly will provide the links to the books, you do not need to read prior. It might be too advanced, and you can stop by to listen or just read what you can.
Ok perfect! Thanks for the help

äu makes a oy sound .s. But also the same as the "eu" in "heute"
I meant German eu
Yes.
There's three diphthong sounds in German: ei (sounds like the English letter i), ie (sounds like the English letter e) and äu/eu (As you wrote, an oy-like sound)

That's okay. It'll take us about a year to get to chapter 3.

Arrem is holding us back :/
That's why it's recommended for B1+ rather than being aimed at new learners.

Hi milly ^~^
.3. An im not a B in reading lmao
XD yea
We don't really have to finish the novel tho Milly .s. The main point is to just be able to read it and understand no?
.a. Ah ok
For the kids n parents in here its almost summer break as well so
.s. May be working on school stuff
~> or something
(Like I said feel free to send me an A-Level text to read that one together some time <3)
@radiant skiff Sorry, I just didn;t hear what you said earlier. Whats your level?
@wary atlas i will answer once he is done figuring out all those things
Oh okay, np.
^~^ I'm thinking of buying a paper book or something so I can highlight a word and write what it means in the book to get a better ish understanding @wheat kite
That's a good idea <3! I always like to have the book in my hand and write things down, too!
Right now I have a word search which gives me the English translation and its helping with my vocab kind of so ^~^
@wary atlas oh. i will just type it.
I used to have German as a mandatory lessons at school.
But i guess I did not focus that much and there were no such a thing as practice of the language.
as a result, i can understand about 50% what people talking about and I can read well, but I cannot speak (since it is a different type of the skill).
So I still consider myself a beginner.
I want to see how lessons are going.
probably both can be beneficial.
also. time difference may influence it
.a. This probably isnt a great example of the lessons
yeah, because it isn't really one :D
Yeaa.. Lol
We might be able to do an A-Level reading after the session tonight
Okie ^~^
A-Level or level a?

Test link ?
If you see something like A1, B2 or C1, these represent the proficiency of a speaker in a language they're not native in, and are called CEFR levels. They are valid for any language, not only German!
Roughly speaking, A levels are beginners and C levels are experts. Remember that CEFR level are self-assessed and indicative!
You can see more specific names and descriptions on the Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages
🗨 How do I know what level I am?
If the table on Wikipedia is too generic for you, you can try using this one here:
https://rm.coe.int/168045bb52
Just check each column one at a time: if you can do all it describes, move to the next column. Your level is the highest where you can do the most things.
Alternatively, you can use this questionnaire to estimate your level more accurately:

Hello everyone, due to not being able to find proper material for today's lesson, I would rather cancel it and come back with something better. Would you be OK if I try to remove all the scribbles on the book and take pics of it to read? either way, this will not be done at this time
i wouldn't mind it
I don't mind to read from pics too.

Lessons VC should be invis to people without the role in meine humble Meinung
like the gaming chat is
We do have a system for that.
But it means people can't join without getting the role which has pros and cons.
It does work.
i mean its not on
Correct.
gotcha
I was asking to at least temporarily change the name of the lesson vc to 'B+' for the course of the lesson or something but I was denied
@rancid hawk
I think as long as B+ read and others can listen it should be fine
otherwise i can see what you meant from going so langsam
Oh, you actually asked someone who can change it? @wheat kite
wilkommen ^^
Internet is breaking up

Hofrat Klementi machte mit seinem Freunde, dem Professor Ritter von Truxa, und seinem Hunde »Cyrus« den täglichen Morgenspaziergang in den Liechtensteinpark. Hofrat Klementi, der Direktor der altorientalischen Spezialsammlung des kunsthistorischen Museums, derzeit vorübergehend auch mit der Oberleitung der ethnographisch-anthropologischen Abteilung betraut, muß den Lesern wohl nicht erst vorgestellt werden. Mit seinem grundlegenden, von der Akademie der Wissenschaften subventionierten Werke über die »Bildung altassyrischer Eigennamen« hat er sich in der Gelehrtenwelt eine angesehene Stellung gesichert, während seine scharfsinnigen Untersuchungen über »indische Kachelmotive und ihren Einfluß auf die persische Teppichornamentik« seinen Namen auch in weitere Kreise der Künstler, Kunstfreunde und Sammler getragen haben.

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
ich habe vor wenigen Wochen eine neue Jeans bei Ihnen bestellt. Ich war sehr glücklich, die Hose ist nach wenigen Tagen schon angekommen. Sie sieht aus wie in der Werbung und gefällt mir sehr. Leider haben Sie mir die Jeans in der falschen Größe geschickt. Die Hose passt mir nicht und ich kann sie daher nicht tragen. Ich bitte Sie daher um einen Umtausch der Ware.
Bitte schicken Sie mir per Post eine neue Jeans in der richtigen Größe zu. Ich schicke Ihnen dann die falsche Hose per Post zurück. Falls sie die Hose nicht in meiner Größe vorrätig haben, möchte ich gern mein Geld zurück.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Martin Enger
Is that a transcript of some phone call of yours?

Can you elaborate?
They’re reading lessons with translations so no, you won’t be able to participate with 0 knowledge
The lessons vary in terms of level. It basically depends on who wants to host them and what activities they want to do.
But usually you should have some past knowledge, though anyone is allowed to listen in.
#lessons isn't the main channel for learning on this server though. You can use #questions to ask specific questions you have, #beginner-german to practice German stuff with other people if you want to, #writing to post writing that you practice and want corrected, and any discussion channel, such as #general or #general-2 , to practice chatting in German.
And type >ex beginner in #botchannel to get tips for how to start learning German. @boreal zealot

@wary atlas This is starting in 15 minutes?
@snow shuttle Yeah but why are you asking me? 👀
@wary atlas Sorry, thought it started on the top of the hour
@snow shuttle Oh, sure, I did too but Milly posted in the other channel she's starting a bit later. But I just meant that Milly is running it, so it makes more sense to ask her than me. 😄
@wary atlas Oh right. I just don't know what her current name is

You shouldn‘t have got any notification for the last ping anyway 🤔

Guys how do I turn on push notifications for pings?
Right click on server > Notification Settings
I've enabled mentions for notification. I guess that should work
duolingo isn't teaching me enough lol
what is a good way to learn
Classroom-esque material would be helpful. Especially since duolingo teaches mainly vocab with little grammer
Ex: A1 lesson videos on youtube (theres a few good channels I cant recall the names of). Podcasts like Coffee Break German.
Plus textbooks and books on the subject
The resources spreadsheet has quite a few I believe (plus Anki cards for a more direct way of memorizing vocab)
faq beginner
How to get started
The simplest way to learn German is to find topics you don’t understand yet and search for explanations of them. This list provides you with a guide for which topics to learn if you are completely new to German. Type the topic into Google (or YouTube) and start learning!
Introduction
1: Alphabet (especially ä, ü, ö and ß)
2: Basic greetings (hello, goodbye, etc.)
Part 1 - Simple Sentence
1: Noun gender & plurals
2: Nominative case (What are cases?)
3: Nominative pronouns (I, you, he, she, etc.)
4: Verbs in present tense
5: Definite/indefinite articles
6: Accusative case (for nouns)
7: Accusative pronouns
8: Word order of simple sentences
9: How to ask questions
Tips
- Always learn the gender of a noun when you learn a new noun
- Learn to use a translation dictionary (e.g. dict.cc, leo.org)
- Use
>faq resourcesto see our list of German learning resources - For listening and pronunciation practice, try watching movies or videos (incl. YouTube)
- You can listen to pronunciation for words on websites like dict.cc, forvo.com, and others
- Practice writing sentences every day (and asking people to correct them)
- Ask as many questions as possible
- Don’t be scared to make mistakes!!!! If you don’t let yourself make mistakes, you will never be able to learn German
can anyone explain klur vs klein
kurz*
and what about groß, i don't understand whether it is tall or big, ive seen it used in reference to both
kurz = short/brief/quick klein = small
groß is used for both large and tall
as far as i am aware
oh alright
and one more question what about leicht
it means both easy and light correct?
how do you distinguish the two?
You just know what they mean based on the context and the rest of the sentence
It does mean both of those
alright thanks
