Oh no. I can't stand the thought of you being not sad because of me.

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
wary atlas
#

This is the best place to start.

#

When you have questions about German, you can ask them in #questions.
If you just want to chat with people in German, you can use any of the General Discussion channels.
If you want to post some of your writing to be corrected, you can put it in a Google Doc and post it in #writing.

#

You can use >sub translation or >sub writing to be pinged when the weekly translation or writing prompts are posted.

boreal zealot
#

@wary atlas could i get someone to help me?

wary atlas
#

@boreal zealot With what?

boreal zealot
#

just learning in general

wary atlas
#

Oh, like a tutor/mentor?

#

We don't have any system in place on the server for that. We generally learn as a group effort, so we recommend for people to use #questions when they need help.

#

But you're welcome to get to know people in the server and try to meet some study partners.

boreal zealot
#

ok

@wary atlas where did you get the bot?

gute nacht @everyone

hidden jacinth
#

hey guys how do I start taking lessons from here ? I don't understand , can anyone help me?

wary atlas
#

Yes. Currently no lessons are being held. They are only held when someone decides to host them, at which point the host will post an announcement in this channel about the upcoming lesson.

boreal zealot
#

You can organize a reading lesson by yourself tho.

#

Or any lesson actually 👀

Does this mean would you like to order? "»Befehlen der Herr?«"

#

Is it just antiquated?

wary atlas
#

@hollow narwhal Wrong channel.

I was waiting for when Milly pops in, relates to the story we read

#

Thanks Base

Uuuh, can you give me the Chapter/roughly where it is on the page? Then I'll check as soon as I'm home :> @hollow narwhal

Demba blickte sich um, musterte das Gelände mit den Augen eines Feldherrn, verwarf einen Tisch in der Nähe der Kasse als für seine Zwecke ungeeignet, lehnte den Vorschlag des Kellners, der ihn mit einladender Handbewegung pantomimisch auf eine Reihe vorzüglicher Sitzgelegenheiten aufmerksam machte, wortlos ab, und entschied sich schließlich für einen Tisch in einem Winkel des Lokals zwischen zwei Kleiderständern.

Der Kellner kam mit einem Bückling heran.

»Befehlen der Herr?«

»Ich möchte etwas essen,« sagte Stanislaus Demba. »Was haben Sie?«

#

I think this is all the context you need

wheat kite
#

Yeah, it's either austrian or antiquated (or both) for 'What's your order?'

hollow narwhal
#

I didn't know if it was standard or because the waiter was being flippant

hollow narwhal
#

Thanks Milly

boreal zealot
#

is not old, is regional. Read Woyzeck by Büchner or read Terezia Mora's speach on Georg Büchner prise (but is on german). there are a lot of germans speaking like this "Trax, Er ist ein guter Mensch. Was braucht er? Er braucht das? Gut."

compact timber
#

I never met one talking like that. I think it's lyrical or old

stray otter
#

the language used in Woyzeck is not a commonly spoken one

boreal zealot
#

„Ich bin eine honette Person, aber Sie! Und dann noch: Er! Wenn
ich sag': Er, so mein ich Ihn, Ihn –
Das hat mich wochenlang beschäftigt. Nicht zuletzt deswegen, weil ich zur gleichen Zeit, also 154 Jahre nachdem das geschrieben worden war, mit einem Begleiter in eine der neu gegründeten Videotheken ging und der Besitzer uns das Prozedere mit folgenden Worten erklärte: „Wenn Er die Kassette nicht rechtzeitig...“ und: „Wenn Er verlängern möchte...“ Und ich: „Wieso sprechen Sie so?“ Der Mann sah mich verständnislos an – Sie macht mich ganz konfus mit Ihrer Antwort – und gab keine Erklärung. Meine Vermutung war: hier suchte auch jemand nach einer Sprache, die ihn durch diese Übergangszeit bringen konnte in eine erhoffte, gehobenere Zukunft, aber wer weiß, vielleicht war es im Jahre 1990 in Berlin-Pankow auch das Alltäglichste, so zu sprechen, nur ich wußte es nicht. ”

stray otter
#

nobody would ever talk like that but it could very well be from an older book

boreal zealot
#

Terezia Mora writes like this in Das Ungeheuer, and she won the Georg Buchner Prise last year. So maybe is very gehoben, or maybe is just she.

stray otter
#

its a mixture of both probably

compact timber
#

It's "gehobene Sprache". very very heavy forms of it.

Ich weiß nicht, warum mir gerade Kacheln einfielen. Ich hätte ebensogut sagen können: Limousiner Email oder Satsumavasen oder andere Dinge, die ich nur aus den Museen und Ausstellungen kenne.

#

Email? Was? Dieses Buch war im 1918 erst mal gescheiben. Und haben die Leute da Emails?

#

Oesterreich war ahead of the time

Hello how speaks German?

hollow narwhal
#

Sehr progressiv war die Menschen in den fruehen 1900s. Die Maenner tragen Rock (cross dressing), und war es ganz normal:

#

Es kam mir wirklich nicht zum Bewußtsein, daß ich gefesselt war, auch nicht, als ich mir den Rock abbürstete.

wheat kite
#

Nah, Rock is here referring to 'Gehrock' which is a jacket :>

hollow narwhal
#

Email is enamel, now rock is a jacket. This novel is one big let down after another

#

When are the lessons usually?

wary atlas
#

The lessons schedule is decided by whoever is hosting the lessons. Currently we have no one volunteering to hold lessons.

ruby ocean
#

but you could volunteer mmlol

#

But that would require effort on my part

cosmic hare
#

I wouldn't mind doing something like group reading & discussing articles from https://www.nachrichtenleicht.de, but I wouldn't describe myself as a proficient German speaker.

aka it'll depend a lot on someone who knows wtf they're doing to show up

Any available lessons at the moment?

boreal zealot
#

Not at the moment, no. We usually try to post announcements for them in #lessons.

boreal zealot
#

#announcements is used for server related changes and news as opposed to letting people know when we host lessons

#

Guys, is there any online good courses for learning?

#

Like with normal, rules, step by step from A1 level

wary atlas
#

I don't think you can get that kind of thing from any one online course. I think it's better to just get a list of topics and work through each one yourself.

#

You can use a text book or other similar thing to get an idea for what order to learn topics.

Hello everyone. I'm planning to start doing some German sessions in the near future, if anyone is interested. I'm just going to post a poll here that you all can vote on to give me an idea of what kind of lessons you would like to see. You can select as many options as you want.

JX#2702 asks: What kind of session do you prefer?

1⃣: A2 Reading
2⃣: B1 Reading
3⃣: B2+ Reading
4⃣: A1 Grammar
5⃣: A2 Grammar
6⃣: B1 Grammar

#

Btw just as a note for the sake of convenience, I'm not going to ping people for the poll so if anyone has any questions or wants to discuss anything about sessions, ping me in #beginner-german or #general-2 so people can get a chance to read the above messages.

Hallo zusammen! We're going to have a Level A reading session at 6pm CET today (about 10 hours from now), so feel free to come along if you want to join. And you are welcome to join even if you're not Level A. :D

And if you want to join the Reading group to get pings, please go to #botchannel and type >sub Reading. There is also AdvancedReading (for B2+ reading only) and Grammar (for grammar lessons). Feel free to join those too, if you haven't already!

wary atlas
#

And don't worry if you're interested in the other sessions types. We will also do some other types of sessions in future, but I can only hold one at a time, so please have patience. 😄

#

On a related note: if there are any eager members of the community interested in running sessions, or thinking about getting into it, feel free to DM me to discuss it or get help planning. We're always happy to have more members of the community running sessions and I'm very happy to help people get started!

Pandas geboren
Im Zoo in der Stadt Berlin hat eine Panda-Bärin 2 Babys bekommen. Es sind Zwillinge. Es ist das 1. Mal, dass in Deutschland Panda-Bären geboren wurden.

Die beiden kleinen Pandas waren bei der Geburt ungefähr so groß wie Hamster. Sie hatten fast keine Haare und waren noch blind. Man kann auch noch nicht sagen, welches Geschlecht sie haben – also ob sie männlich oder weiblich sind.

Die Eltern von den beiden Babys sind seit Sommer 2017 im Zoo von Berlin. Die Bären kommen aus dem Land China. China hat sie für 15 Jahre an Deutschland ausgeliehen. Auch die beiden Babys werden nicht für immer in Deutschland bleiben. Sie sollen höchstens 4 Jahre hier bleiben. Danach werden sie wieder nach China gebracht.

Was bedeutet ...
China
China ist ein großes Land in Asien. In China leben über 1 Milliarde Menschen, also über 1.000 Millionen. Damit ist China weltweit das Land mit den meisten Einwohnern. Die Hauptstadt von China heißt Peking. Die meisten Menschen in China sprechen Chinesisch. Es gibt aber auch noch viele andere Sprachen. China hat auch eine sehr starke Wirtschaft. Das Land verkauft seine Produkte in viele Länder auf der Welt.

Hallo Leute. Today we'll do a B2+ reading session. It will be at 5pm GMT/UTC. That's about 7 hours from now. We'll be reading part of a short story. Anyone is welcome to listen, but beginners probably won't have the option to read today.

You're going to hold a session tomorrow as well right Basementality?

Probably not.

what about Monday?

wary atlas
#

Probably next Friday or Saturday is the next time.

boreal zealot
#

Ok cool

#

Will it be reading as well or speaking etc?

wary atlas
#

We will be reading out loud and translating. Do you mean if we will ask questions and explain stuff in German? I prefer English personally, because I don't like to risk making explanations harder to understand by the language difficulties.

#

(I suck at explaining stuff in German)

#

Oh, do you mean next week? In that case, I'm not sure yet. I think I will do at least 1 Level A grammar session, but I'm not sure if I'll do 2 sessions or what they will be.

#

Maybe continuing today's short story, depending on how it goes.

brazen zodiac
#

anyone have any suggestions for someone like me who has absolutely no will to learn German but wants to know it?

wary atlas
#

No, the methods for learning are the same regardless of whether you want to do it or not. The only difference is, if you don't want to do it, it's extremely difficult and for many people, not really possible.

#

So my advice would rather be: find a reason to want to do it, or just find a hobby you actually enjoy.

brazen zodiac
#

i'll probably give up, 6 years and only a basic understanding and no use for it if i learned it

#

this would make it nearly 7 years

plucky wave
#

Already 6 years? Perhaps you should have already developed a decent amount of German by now, or at least enough to get by okayishly. Try immersing yourself in German without English for a bit, and see how much you can intake during those sessions, just chat here and ask questions when you run into a hurdle. I have a few courses & sources I can recommend too

brazen zodiac
#

@plucky wave what are your sources

#

i really don't want to give up but my will power is close to nothing

#

so i'll take anything and see if it works

plucky wave
#

I use Memrise as I find it easy to try learning large amounts of vocabulary there, they have their own official set of courses you can take along with many user made courses you can browse around to keep expanding your vocab, there's also the Easy German series, I'd recommend giving their episodes watches on their YT channel, Deutsche Welle also has its own course called Nico's Weg that I'd like to try out, seems neat. German With Jenny and German with Anja have plenty of good videos on German. If you've been studying for around 6 years I'm going to assume you've ran into them, but I still think they're worth a good looking intoo-

brazen zodiac
#

so far, watching YT videos and talking to people has been the best way for me to learn, just studying with a book or website makes me wanna break everything in site

plucky wave
#

Then just continue like that I suppose, just remember to look things up often and take notes of things so not to forget them too quickly

boreal zealot
#

@brazen zodiac hey have you considered subscribing to the Deutsch Perfekt magazine?

#

It's posted out to you monthly, has stuff for all levels, has cardboard vocab cards you can cut out and store, and exercises

#

I'm B2 but still find it good. Well I just got my first trial subscription magazine but I would say it would be an effective way to learn for more passive learners - have your goal be to get through the magazine over the whole month. It's really doable!

#

But this isn't the channel for chatting like this

#

#general-2 or #german-only would be better for German chatting

Hey everyone, just a small note: I didn't do any learning sessions this weekend as I'm pretty busy with assignments. I should be doing another session or two next weekend though!

Thanks everyone who has been coming to the sessions so far. It's a lot of fun and I look forward to doing more soon. ❤

#

And by the way, if anyone else here is interested in running a one-off session today or tomorrow to make up for my lack of one, feel free to do so! It doesn't matter what level. Just post the details in this channel or DM/ping me and I can help you with whatever you need.

Wie geht's?

Mir ist gute

#

Und du?

wary atlas
#

Entchuldigung Leute. Diese Art von Gespräch passt lieber in #beginner-german, #german-only , #general-2 oder #general

#

#lessons is for planning/announcing organized lessons only.

#

And for discussing during a lesson.

In this context, zwar would be despite / although right?

It's a modal particle but that's really not important at A1, or A level in general but it's nice to know

Außerdem müssen sie die Reise nach Deutschland selbst bezahlen können. Nicht-EU-Ausländer dürfen auch nur ein Mal in Deutschland als Au-pair arbeiten.

In Österreich und in der Schweiz sind die Normen ähnlich. In der Schweiz gibt es aber in jedem Kanton kleine Unterschiede.
