If you ever don't understand a topic, google it and you will get tons of pages about it.

#

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.

wet ledge
#

Are there free online textbooks I can use?

golden coral
#

@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)

wary atlas
#

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?

quasi lynx
#

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

solar tangle
#

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?

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 gecko)

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.

@tranquil escarp quick question (for reals), how is your English so good? did you study abroad? have a sexy teacher? or what?

tranquil escarp
#

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

tranquil escarp
#

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

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. :>

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 mmlol

tranquil escarp
#

Millman go Weeno.

vital valve
#

ah lol didn't realise millipede was running it mmlol

wheat kite
#

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)

  1. Zwischen neun und neun

In Here

spring sinew
#

Note for people: äu is pronounced exactly like eu

#

kennen lernen = get to know

storm warren
#

äu makes a oy sound .s. But also the same as the "eu" in "heute"

spring sinew
#

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)

@spring sinew also y in German is pretty much pronounced like ü

#

In most cases that aren't stolen from other languages

spring sinew
#

I was talking about dipthongs.

#

y isn't one

near cliff
#

Just saying, there was a word with y and people had problems

#

(:

spring sinew
#

In Typ it's not pronounced like Ü

#

So, still not relevant

#

lol

near cliff
#

Pronunciation is ty:p, pronunciation in fühlen for example is ˈfyːlən

#

So pretty much the same

#

@near cliff Checked Forvo. Lol, I stand corrected.

Welcome to our Book Club! (Level B1 upwards recommended)

We’re currently reading the novel Zwischen neun und neun by Leo Perutz.
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.

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: Ping me if you want to be notified when the sessions start.
Feel free to chime in spontaneously. Everybody is welcome.

And lack confidence in this new language

That's why it's recommended for B1+ rather than being aimed at new learners.

Hi milly ^~^

#

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?

For the kids n parents in here its almost summer break as well so

(Like I said feel free to send me an A-Level text to read that one together some time <3)

wary atlas
#

@radiant skiff Sorry, I just didn;t hear what you said earlier. Whats your level?

radiant skiff
#

@wary atlas i will answer once he is done figuring out all those things

wary atlas
#

Oh okay, np.

storm warren
#

^~^ 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

wheat kite
#

That's a good idea <3! I always like to have the book in my hand and write things down, too!

storm warren
#

Right now I have a word search which gives me the English translation and its helping with my vocab kind of so ^~^

radiant skiff
#

@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.

wary atlas
#

Ach so.

#

I think you are fine to choose Level A for now then, if you like.

radiant skiff
#

I want to see how lessons are going.
probably both can be beneficial.

also. time difference may influence it

storm warren
#

.a. This probably isnt a great example of the lessons

wheat kite
#

yeah, because it isn't really one :D

storm warren
#

Yeaa.. Lol

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:

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

Can you elaborate?

boreal zealot
#

They’re reading lessons with translations so no, you won’t be able to participate with 0 knowledge

wary atlas
#

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 Sorry, thought it started on the top of the hour

wary atlas
#

@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

duolingo isn't teaching me enough lol
what is a good way to learn

maiden oracle
#

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)

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 resources to 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

@near flume

Try this.

vital hedge
#

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

boreal zealot
#

kurz = short/brief/quick klein = small

#

groß is used for both large and tall

#

as far as i am aware

vital hedge
#

oh alright

#

and one more question what about leicht

#

it means both easy and light correct?

#

how do you distinguish the two?

boreal zealot
#

You just know what they mean based on the context and the rest of the sentence

#

It does mean both of those

vital hedge
#

alright thanks
