#

Like I said, it's fine if you forget the adjective stuff for now.

#

Just worry about the verb conjugation rules mostly.

#

And learning pronouns.

#

though legit re genetiv, my german teacher, a native speaker in germany, even tells us that genetive is often replaced by dative in informal conversation

true adder Jan 7, 2020, 1:10 AM

#

im leanring german for fun

#

i havent taken a class before

#

so i dont have this knowledge

#

but i asutdied in austria for 4 months so i have some german speaking friends

#

they can help me

delicate vortex Jan 7, 2020, 1:12 AM

#

Wait how replaced is genitive?

#

Normally id write: das Auto des Mannes/Manns

#

But i can say or informally write: das Auto dem Mann

wary atlas Jan 7, 2020, 1:15 AM

#

@storm turret Sure, but it's a common misconception that people have about German and it's important to note the distinction between "it's slowly being replaced by dative" and the reality which is "dative has always been more common in some regions/dialects".

#

I'm pretty sure it's largely a regional thing. Many people do actually use genitive in daily speech. And it's not a new concept.

storm turret Jan 7, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

if it's a common misconception it's being purported by both textbooks and uni level german teachers here in germany

wary atlas Jan 7, 2020, 1:17 AM

#

Yes.

#

@boreal zealot Wrong channel to ask about that. 👀

#

You should ask in #general or #general-2

storm turret Jan 7, 2020, 1:30 AM

#

the tl;dr either way is learn genetive eventually but don't be surprised if some native speakers use dative where you'd expect there to be genetive

wary atlas Jan 7, 2020, 1:31 AM

#

Yes.

Recommended level: B1+
Saturday 11th Feb - 17:00 Central Europe Time
Hallochen lovelies!
In addition to your normally scheduled reading session (availability pending), we're also be trialling something new this weekend. We'll be reading a lower level text, but rather than attempt to translate the passage into English, we'll be trying to explain what's happening in our own words using German. We'll also be trying to explain unknown words using German. Bilingual dictionaries are allowed, but we'll be trying to avoid using translations and speak in entirely in German as much as possible!

We're open to text suggestions to read and I'll be looking at some possible texts over the week, but I'm thinking maybe Das Blutenstaubzimmer if I can find a digital copy we can use."

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

See Part 2 with >faq beginner 2

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

Thankyou all who came today!
I was unsure how this format would go since it was a new format. Also note that this is not nor intended to be a replacement to the normal reading sessions. simply another way for upper levels to practice their reading comprehension and speaking. But I would be very glad to hear any feedback or suggestions for the lesen ohne übersetzung format.

Lessons
The lessons held on the server don’t have a consistent schedule, because we allow lesson hosts to choose their own times and days. Lessons are held in the Lessons voice channel along with the #lessons text channel. Everyone is welcome to listen to the lessons even if they don’t wish to participate.

You can subscribe to a specific group to get pings whenever a session is announced. The current lesson groups are:

Reading: Read and translate German texts together.
AdvancedReading: Like Reading but aimed at B2+ speakers.
Grammar: Lesson about a specific grammar topic.
Activities: Speaking practice, learning games, or things that don’t fit in the other categories.

Subscribe by typing >sub Reading (for example) in #botchannel.

Lesson Hosting
Lesson hosting is a voluntary role and we welcome any members who are interested to host their own sessions. If you’re interested in running a session, feel free to DM one of the moderators to discuss the process.

Even if you feel inexperienced or have no idea what to run a session about, we’re always happy to provide guidance and teach people how they can hold learning sessions.

Oh. 😊

storm turret Jan 17, 2020, 7:28 PM

the show doesn't correspond 1 to 1 with any single book

#

in fact i think it combines a few of the witcher books together

#

like this scene that we read today didn't appear in the show as far as i remember

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:29 PM

#

I guess I'll watch it sometime soon so I can tell people about which stories are in the show.

#

Really? I'm surprised it wouldn't be in the show.

I watched just the first couple of minutes of the show, I was concerned a bit that the readings going to spoil

It's pretty important to the whole saga.

It's one of the short stories.

From The Last Wish collection.

Are these stories addendum to the first book

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:31 PM

No.

Like how 1984 has an entire section at the end about the various places in the book

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:32 PM

#

There's two short story collections, The Last Wish and Sword of Destiny.

#

These all take place before the saga itself.

hollow narwhal Jan 17, 2020, 7:32 PM

Ah... So this will be an entire short story and is then self contained

spoiler:
||is this story the one with pavetta and the hedgehog man?||

hollow narwhal Jan 17, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

And follows a narrative arch

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:33 PM

#

Yes, but parts of the short stories come up in the later main storyline.

#

@storm turret Yes.

#

The short stories themselves are self-contained and usually just kinda experimental reinterpretations of existing stories, or at least reference them.

#

Like in this one we just read, Geralt told about an annoying prince who tried to hire him to find his girlfriend who ran away during a ball, and lost her shoe.

#

Because she was sick of him.

storm turret Jan 17, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

||so in the netflix series that bit starts with jaskier dragging geralt along to the ball as protection||

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

i.e. reinterpretation of Cinderella

hollow narwhal Jan 17, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

^ I was about to say

#

But I didn't want to insult the writer

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:34 PM

#

Why is it an insult?

hollow narwhal Jan 17, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

Well, I was going to say plagiarized

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:35 PM

#

It's not plagiarism to write reinterpretations of fairytales, lol.

#

It's intentional.

#

He's doing it to add humour.

#

And some various interesting things like "reality is very different from fairytales" and so on.

#

Many people do that.

storm turret Jan 17, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

cinderella is so old that no single body owns it

hollow narwhal Jan 17, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

I'll tell Bro that next time he shares a pun he's taken from the web 🙂

#

"nice interpretation bro"

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

Like Disney is essentially doing the same thing.

storm turret Jan 17, 2020, 7:36 PM

#

as much as disney may try to "own" fairytales, fairytales at this point belong to the collective consciousness of society

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

Except Disney makes it more for children and Sapkowski made it more a humorous fantasy in the style of Tolkien.

storm turret Jan 17, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

god even the brothers grimm fairytales i think were heavily based on pre-existing folklore

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

Well, not in the style of Tolkien. I mean the setting is inspired by Tolkien and fairytales and mashes them together along with Polish culture and a lot of sarcasm.

storm turret Jan 17, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

like writing about bigfoot or a yeti

hollow narwhal Jan 17, 2020, 7:37 PM

#

That's true, I don't mean it as it's a piracy issue, just that it was eerily Cinderella like and that I like to say "plagiarism" cause it's more insulting 🙂

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

But that's mostly in the short stories.

#

In the short stories he was just writing somewhat disconnected stories, but later he writes he main saga and it's more like a standard fastasy series.

#

Like one consistent storyline and less of these cute references.

hollow narwhal Jan 17, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

Ah... I have to say that it's kind of tough in german

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:38 PM

#

More focus on developing the setting and characters.

hollow narwhal Jan 17, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

I mean the language, and maybe that's reflective of the writer.

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

The story is originally written in Polish.

hollow narwhal Jan 17, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

Some writers use very simple language and that makes it easy to read, even in translations (hemmingway eg)

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

So it's not just the author but the translator.

storm turret Jan 17, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

i also didn't start being able to enjoy books in german until b level

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:39 PM

#

One of the issues with the Witcher stories is there's a lot of sarcasm and word play and stuff.

#

So if youre a beginner, it may be hard to pick that up.

#

The language is used in specific ways to express the different tones.

hollow narwhal Jan 17, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

I see

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:40 PM

#

For me, it's easier because I already read the stories in English.

#

I get what they're going for even if I don't know every word.

hollow narwhal Jan 17, 2020, 7:41 PM

#

that helps immensely

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

So they actually call him Jaskier in the show? @storm turret

storm turret Jan 17, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

just going by CEFR, reading novels at A level is a notable achievement. e.g. A2 reading on the CEFR chart

simple everyday material such as advertisements, prospectuses, menus and timetables and I can understand short simple personal letters.```

#

they do yeah

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

Interesting.

storm turret Jan 17, 2020, 7:42 PM

#

point is don't at all feel discouraged if you find reading difficult at this stage, trax

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:43 PM

#

Yeah, don't worry, Trax.

#

This story is hard.

#

And once you study more grammar, you will have an easier time.

hollow narwhal Jan 17, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

Thanks guys

wary atlas Jan 17, 2020, 7:44 PM

#

Since I know that your specific issue is that you tend to have a hard time working with unfamiliar constructions, the study of grammar (instead of just memorizing structures) is the key point that's probably holding you back from reading more easily.

storm turret Jan 17, 2020, 7:45 PM

#

especially understanding and recognising the patterns in building simple past and perfect forms of verbs helped with my reading

#

e.g. being familiar enough with common vowel changes to know that schlugen probaly comes from schlagen even if i've never seen schlugen before

Heyo lovely learners! I'll be holding my first reading session next week on Wednesday at around 6pm (CET). We will be reading Struwwelpeter, the perhaps most iconic children's book in Germany which contains, among other things, children dying horrible deaths. I personally think its around A2-B1 in level, but feel free to take a look at the whole text here http://www.gasl.org/refbib/Hoffmann__Struwwelpeter.pdf. See you there!

upper lake Jan 18, 2020, 1:57 PM

#

What

storm turret Jan 18, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

is weil a coordinating or subordinating conjunction

upper lake Jan 18, 2020, 1:58 PM

#

I have no idea my dude

storm turret Jan 18, 2020, 1:59 PM

#

todays lesson. there are 3 main types of conjunctions: coordinating, two part, and subordinating

#

und, oder, and denn (among others are coordinating.

denn ich liebe dich. the conjunction goes in position 0

#

in subordinating conjunctions, the verb gets kicked to the end

#

weil ich dich liebe

upper lake Jan 18, 2020, 2:00 PM

#

Ohh

storm turret Jan 18, 2020, 2:01 PM

#

you can find tables of the conjunctions. the coordinating list is the shortest so memorise that, two parters are pretty obvious pairs. the rest it's best to assume subordinating and kick the verb to the end

#

📎 conjunctions.png

upper lake Jan 18, 2020, 2:03 PM

#

What level is this

storm turret Jan 18, 2020, 2:04 PM

#

all levels

#

you learn the conjunctions in stages

#

the terns they use in german are hauptsatz and nebensatz i think.
subordinating conjunctions create a nebensatz. most nebensätze that i'm aware of (maybe all) kick the verb to the end.

wary atlas Jan 18, 2020, 2:07 PM

#

Are you also someone who watches those videos where they call them "verb kickers" or something, sunset?

storm turret Jan 18, 2020, 2:09 PM

Summary of our main topics discussed today

simple sentence / main clause word order (conjugated verb in second position)
anything can go first, regardless of if it's the subject, object, adverb, etc. but time adverbs especially love to be at the start (e.g. Heute lerne ich Deutsch.)
multiple verbs in a main clause
question word order (with or without question words)
using coordinating conjunctions
subordinate clause word order: conjugated verb at the end
first type of subordinate clause: subordinating conjunctions
second type: relative clauses (warning: it's slightly more advanced than the other topics)
adverbs word order: TeKaMoLo (ask yourself: when? why? how? where?)
when you have two objects, e.g. with geben: accusative pronoun > dative pronoun > dative noun > accusative noun

Hello juicy learners! There will be a level A-B reading session today at 2pm ECT/UTC+1. We'll have the option of continuing Harnold Topfkopf (Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen), or If you have a suggestion on content that you think would suit the lesson, we'll always be happy to consider it too. Looking forward to seeing you all there! pinkponywonyowobroseidony ❤️

Is the “der” here Genitiv?
