[tawny slate]

yes

oh alright

[maiden abyss]

is this for modal/ irregular

the table

spielen? isnt that a regular verb

oh ok

oh okay, i just thought its weird to write down verbs which are regular and follow normal guidelines [e st t en t en]

[digital flume]

its all about reinforcement and stuff

[maiden abyss]

yeah okay sorry, im a bit weird because i've been learning german for like 6 years in school

i dont know the grammar right now but when you mention it it kinda appears in my mind

[digital flume]

pets very important!

[maiden abyss]

are you gonna start giving us like a word list we can study from or is it only grammar focused

[icy saffron]

Just a general question,

Where is the Grammar tab in Discord that you asked to subscribe? I don't find it in Learnings.

anyway, thanks for hosting this lesson, you're pretty straightforward.

[tawny slate]

i think it's fine

[maiden abyss]

well, i only wish we spent more time exercising like that one time with example sentences

[boreal zealot]

A sugestion for next time can be prepositions

[icy saffron]

The class was well structured! Just what we wanted

[digital flume]

thats why the homework is important too

[maiden abyss]

because after that one exercise

i felt like it was grammar, grammar, grammar

oh yeah!

[visual shore]

I joined late but it was a good lesson from what I heard! Thanks, looking forward to next time.

[icy saffron]

Yep! Will be much useful

[visual shore]

& yeah I think that’s a good idea.

[icy saffron]

Thank you for the wonderful session! Waiting for the next one! 😃

And please schedule it a little early if possible. Connecting from India and its around 11.30 here

Hello lovely Activities community! It's time to revive this role. I'd be happy to offer a listening comprehension hopefully starting this weekend for level B and above. It would be great to hear back from you if this is something you are interested in. Time and day would probably be Friday evening (in between 17:00 to 19:00 UTC+2). I'll share some more info if enough interest exists!

Hey everyone! On Saturday at 12am (midnight) GMT/UTC (that's Friday night), we will be doing Beginner German Session 3.

This includes a lot of useful vocabulary.

If you have something specific you want to know about this topic, feel free to come with your own questions! And even if you missed the first 2 sessions, everyone is welcome to join!

Some notes about the format:

1. I will post questions to the upcoming text before we start. Said questions will be in randomized sequence, so take your time to read through them before we begin!
2. The questions are in English. Please also answer the questions in English (if you can). This way you'll really have to understand what is being read.
3. I will try to read slowly and give you enough time to answer so, don't worry about that 🙂

[boreal zealot]

Hhh nvm..

[tardy prawn]

How to say also in german?
Couple different words for it and it depends what you’re saying

[plain cargo]

[trim lava]

@primal dune Then probably something like: Ich habe Zahnarzt studiert und arbeite jetzt , should be enough in your case x)

[primal dune]

Wait

[maiden abyss]

nico weg's tante

[tardy prawn]

Do you want to say you don’t work or study

[maiden abyss]

just had a flashback

ye

[tardy prawn]

Okay then that can get confusing so I’d personally say “Ich arbeite nicht und ich studiere auch nicht”

[cobalt forum]

@wary atlas Bruder hat kein ü

[tardy prawn]

It’s weird because you can just use “or” in English and say “not” once and it works

[maiden abyss]

i thought it can go like "ich studiere [OR] study /not/.

[tardy prawn]

In German it just is weird it doesn’t work

[trim lava]

well for plural 😛

[maiden abyss]

oh ok

[trim lava]

der Bruder(sing.), die Brüder(pl.)

[tardy prawn]

When you say “Ich studiere und arbeite nicht” it kinda sounds like you said “I study and I don’t work” @maiden abyss

[maiden abyss]

oh ok

danke

[tardy prawn]

gerne

[prisma spear]

How do you pronounce "Cousin"?

[trim ferry]

It sounds like we pronounce it the same as French?

[maiden abyss]

is there a difference?

oh ok danke

[trim lava]

Ich habe keine Brüder -> I don't have any brothers

[primal dune]

[wary atlas]

Ich bin eine Katze.
Nein, bist du nicht.
Doch!

[maiden abyss]

[wary atlas]

Doch, natürlich war ich dort!

[fallen oracle]

yes i have a question, sorry couldn't find the chat, but I've heard the sound of ch pronounced a lot of different ways, how would you say it in words like ich, nichts, auch, ect?

[trim lava]

English speakers like to make a k out of the ch in ich/nichts/auch 😛

[plain cargo]

Wait is a K better or more like a G sound

[primal dune]

I try to pronounce it like the "J" in Jalapeño

[maiden abyss]

ich? in house ?

[fallen oracle]

so like as in chemie

[trim lava]

Oh boy. Chemie is a hot topic haha

[rare swan]

wait, i have something

[fresh slate]

what's the proper way of pronouncing nicht?

[trim lava]

Some say Kemie, some say Schemie, and then there's also Chemie

[maiden abyss]

1. Ich habe ein Geschwister. Ich habe einen Bruder. Mein Bruder ist neunundzwanzig Jahre alt.

2. Ich habe auch einen Vater und eine Mutter, wir leben zusammen. Wir leben zu Hause als vier Personen. Mein Vater arbeitet, aber meine Mutter arbeitet nicht.

3. Ich hatte drei Haustiere. ein Vogel, eine Schildkröte und eine Ente in der vergangenen Zeit. Aber ich habe jetzt keine Haustiere.

4. Mein Vogel hieß Cino und wir waren wirklich gut. Er würde nicht wegfliegen, selbst wenn er aus dem Käfig und nach Hause war.

[cobalt forum]

@wary atlas "Arten von Hobbys" ist besser als Hobbysorten

[tardy prawn]

Nice so you know french

[rare swan]

can you use it in a sentence?
like
Es Gibt [Noun] means [Noun] exists?

[winter hornet]

Sprechen wir über Hobbys mit Details?

[tardy prawn]

Hobbyarten? @cobalt forum

[trim lava]

Eissorte for example, Eisart sounds uhhh...

[tardy prawn]

[winter hornet]

you can ask me anything you want whenever you want

[wary atlas]

Die Luftfahrt.

[trim lava]

Ich spiele ein Instrument

Ich spiele Flöte

[rare swan]

thank you!

[trim ferry]

does gern/gerne change with cases?

[rare swan]

i'm not sure about where you place gerne in the sentence

[dark garnet]

Put it after the verb?

[plain cargo]

Meine Hobbys sind zocken, Musik hören und Zeichenen. Ich gerne Darts und Angeln. Ich auch gerne zu lerne Deutsch.

[rare swan]

so how would you say
i Like playing an instrument, i Like playing the flute?

[lofty onyx]

@rare swan that's actually a great question

Usually after a verb

[dark garnet]

Ich spiele gern Instruments

[lofty onyx]

But If there is more information in the sentence, there is an order to it

Temporal, kausal, modal, lokal

Or TEKAMOLO in short

[wary atlas]

@lofty onyx Currently this is related to a lesson we're doing.

[trim ferry]

I am confused about the word order of the 2nd sentence on the previous slide

[lofty onyx]

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.

And depending on how many come in a second reading channel

[burnt scaffold]

do you wanna use the group vc or do you mean Lessons ?

[delicate vortex]

Both

A lot of people show up and id like to try holding the sessions in two groups

[burnt scaffold]

sure, I just asked because in that case it's worth to know for others that the Reading channel doesn't exist yet, it will be created when the lessons starts

[floral vault]

Do we get a link to what is being read for the session ??

[trim lava]

The link to Tintenherz is pinned in this channel

i'm too scared to join so i'll consider going next time

[wary atlas]

You're welcome to join and just listen.

if you wanna listen only 😄

[wary atlas]

Even if you just want to join for a few minutes to check it out, that's totally fine.

Moai du schaffst es schon!

Tintenherz ist viel leichter als das Märchen von letzter Woche

I wonder if my physical copy of the book is exactly the same as the pdf 😛

[floral vault]

Got the book up and ready, may just listen in 🙂

[ashen cave]

^ same, i don't want to stall the thing with my horrible reading/translating :p

[trim lava]

I know a lot of people are anxious about stuff like that but remember, there's no stalling. We are here to learn

[delicate vortex]

exactly!

[trim lava]

No one will laugh if you mispronounce things, no one will be annoyed if you don't know the translation, etc.

[ashen cave]

oh i know i've been there like 3 times already

i was hole the other times, this is another computer

[floral vault]

That's encouraging for you to say, thank you

[ashen cave]

ik, i want to attend, its just that i don't think i should be reading

[wary atlas]

And just as a note, for beginner people. If you find this session too hard, I or someone else will probably run a beginner text sessions sometime soon. But if the people running this session are fine with it, definitely give it a shot anyway!

Hey learners! This Saturday 12am UTC/GMT (that's Friday night / Saturday morning) we'll be doing Beginner German Session 4. This session is aimed at beginners, but anyone is welcome to join!

In this session, we’ll learn about conjunctions (both coordinating and subordinating conjunctions). We’ll also review and practice the basic sentence structures we've looked at before: main clauses, questions, separable verbs, zu infinitive, modal verb + infinitive, etc.

I also plan to run some sessions in later weeks where we focus a lot on vocabulary themes. I’ve created a document where you all can suggest themes that you’re interested in. Please read the info at the top of the document before suggesting anything. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1WQvsHIRYhcJRZrk_SfHNLSQufYDnlAUMfzdDBLS_OtU/edit

Hi everyone. This week we're going to try a new session: self-study VC group for beginners. The session runs Sunday 6pm-9pm UTC/GMT and you can join in at any time. In order to participate, you will need the Activities role, and the sessions will take place in the Activities VC and text channel.

This is not really a lesson but a scheduled meetup time where beginners can meet each other and study together. I won't be hosting it myself and most likely won't be there - because I wanted to choose a time that works for European time zones as well as US time zones - but I encourage any Level A people (including absolute beginners) to join in and study some German together.

The recommended task is to go through the weekly homework task together, but you're welcome to bring your own ideas or just practice speaking.

As I haven't organized a session like this before, it will be a bit of trial and error to know how best to run it, so we'll try to improve it as time goes (assuming they're successful enough to continue running). I will also try to keep pings for these sessions to a minimum, so I recommend to check the >sessions command in #botchannel when you want to check for the next one.

<@&526087863339843585> This above session announcement is relevant to this role too.

To know if it's male or female, just decorating?

@sonic tendon need to conjugate

i don't know how to conjugate

[maiden abyss]

Warum mögen ihr das Lied?

[dark garnet]

Song

[maiden abyss]

the song

[carmine comet]

Thanks

[royal bolt]

Buch with capital b, other than that, it's fine, blep

lmao Laura

i saw that. cheeky

[dark garnet]

😂

[carmine comet]

Warum mögt ihr das Lied?

[trim ferry]

hihihi I can't read

[royal bolt]

i blew your cover, no back paddling!

[trim ferry]

Lied is song, Leid is suffering

[maiden abyss]

idk how to conjugate it

isnt it a modal verb?

[dark garnet]

[maiden abyss]

i didnt learn those 😄

[cyan whale]

ohhh

ihr

[latent ravine]

plural, informal you

[mild zenith]

Warum ihre mögen das lied.

[wary atlas]

ihr mögt

[maiden abyss]

Warum mögt ihr das Lied?

[wary atlas]

ihr arbeitet

[maiden abyss]

double t

yeah

[cyan whale]

Can it be: Ihr das mögt Warum Lied?

[maiden abyss]

i should really learn modal verbs

[royal bolt]

no, blep

[dark garnet]

It’s a W Fragen

[maiden abyss]

I think the question word must be in the first place, verb must be in the second always

so the rest just has to go

[carmine comet]

Thank you for the tip, I also struggled with this conjugation

[royal bolt]

You could say. Ihr mögt das Lied - warum? Would be like. "You like the song - why?!"

[cyan whale]

oh yea w fragen

dang

[royal bolt]

but that is a very unusual structure

[maiden abyss]

oh cool

[wary atlas]

Ich lerne Deutsch.

[cyan whale]

thank u!

[wary atlas]

Lernst du Deutsch?

[maiden abyss]

i like typing because german spelling is weird 👀 and i listen to base saying it anyway

[dark garnet]

Warum lernst du Deutsch?

[maiden abyss]

Lernst du Deutsch - warum?

or wait, Du lernst Deutsch - warum?

[wary atlas]

Lernst du Deutsch? Warum?

[sand spruce]

so it would be Warum moegt ihr das Lied?

[royal bolt]

Ja, Diaz

[maiden abyss]

is -das Lied- in accusative case in this sentence

[royal bolt]

Jap

[maiden abyss]

danke

[royal bolt]

"mögen" demands accusative

Ich mag den Mann.

Der Mann mag mich.

[maiden abyss]

oh so when i see mögen i should automatically assume to put the rest in accusative

just like sein needs nominative?

[latent ravine]

any of the modals

ja

[maiden abyss]

oh cool

[vivid cape]

Excuse me, teacher, can u pass me the last class materials?

Oh I see, thx 🙂

[royal bolt]

generally yes, but "mögen" is often used for nouns in plural (with no article)

e.g. Ich mag Äpfel

[wary atlas]

Today I'm learning German.

[latent ravine]

Which sentence?

oh

nm

[maiden abyss]

Heute lerne Deutsch ich.

?

[dark garnet]

Ich lerne heute Deutsch.

[rain harbor]

Heute lerne ich Deutsch.

[latent ravine]

Heute lerne ich Deutsch

[maiden abyss]

or heute lerne ich Deutsch,

[broken fog]

Heute lerne ich Deutsch

[mild zenith]

Heute, lerne ich deutsch.

[cyan whale]

Heute lerne ich Deutsch

[dark garnet]

Heute lerne ich Deutsch.

[sonic tendon]

let me see if i understand, when i set the verb in the end of the sentence?

[wary atlas]

Heute lerne ich Deutsch.

[broken fog]

Heute wolle ich deutsch lernen

[dark garnet]

Ich-will ?

[cyan whale]

then the possessive artikel must follow after verb ?

[broken fog]

oh yeah my bad

[cyan whale]

yeaaa

sorry oops

[maiden abyss]

is Wortstellung flexible enough to say 'heute lerne Deutsch ich'

[royal bolt]

Golden rule: conjugated verb is always in the second position in a main clause

no Jakey

[maiden abyss]

okay thanks

[royal bolt]

That sentence doesnt work

[maiden abyss]

oh thanks

and i wanted to ask.. isnt deutsch a noun

doesnt it need an article

[latent ravine]

if you wouldn't say "the" or "a" in English you probably won't in German either

[maiden abyss]

danke

[wary atlas]

sie (sg) / aufstehen / um 8 Uhr

[maiden abyss]

what does sg mean

[royal bolt]

Singular

[maiden abyss]

oh ok

[carmine comet]

Sie steht um 8 Uhr auf

[maiden abyss]

Sie steht um 8 Uhr auf.

[latent ravine]

Um 8 Uhr stehen sie auf

[broken fog]

Sie steht um 8 Uhr auf

[dark garnet]

Sie steht um 8 Uhr auf

[cyan whale]

Sie steht um 8 Uhr auf.

[latent ravine]

oh right

[mild zenith]

Sie stehen um 8 Uhr auf.

[latent ravine]

Um 8 Uhr steht sie auf

[royal bolt]

That is plural, raymond

[maiden abyss]

in words would it be,
Sie steht um acht Uhr auf.

[royal bolt]

jop

[latent ravine]

ja

[trim ferry]

How do you tell if a verb is separable, just memorize?

[maiden abyss]

it has like a prefix

[carmine comet]

yeah

[latent ravine]

memorize the prefixes

[cyan whale]

auf is a prefix

[broken fog]

it will begin with a seperable prefix

[latent ravine]

auf, aus, etc

[maiden abyss]

aus, auf

[dark garnet]

Auf/an/aus

[trim ferry]

Okay cool

[royal bolt]

rule of thumb: if the prefix of the verb is a word in its own right, then it is more often than not separable

[broken fog]

Steht sie um 8 Uhr auf?

[maiden abyss]

Steht sie um acht Uhr auf?

[latent ravine]

Steht sie um 8 Uhr auf?

[dark garnet]

Steht sie um 8 Uhr auf?

[cyan whale]

[carmine comet]

[cyan whale]

i like 24 hour better

[maiden abyss]

i didnt get it until spending a few weeks in the US

then they forced me to switch 😦

[broken fog]

lol that's weird for me I cant use 24 hour time in the slightest

[maiden abyss]

where are you from?

[broken fog]

America

[maiden abyss]

makes sense 💯

[royal bolt]

lmao jakey

[cyan whale]

what lol

[latent ravine]

Jakey, just tell everyone you're military, they'll stop correcting you

[royal bolt]

no chill

[wary atlas]

Ich esse Brot und du isst Fleisch.

[dark garnet]

Ich esse Brot is a Clause ?

[carmine comet]

Oh, I understand

[royal bolt]

a clause is defined by having a finite (conjugated) verb form

[dark garnet]

One conjunction two clauses in this sentence.

[royal bolt]

Ich esse Brot und du Fleisch . < what base says now

still two clauses

[dark garnet]

😳

[cyan whale]

ahhh okie

[latent ravine]

🎵 conjunction junction, what's your function? 🎵

Sorry, that's a very American reference...

[broken fog]

Lol I got it

Die?

[latent ravine]

der?

[dark garnet]

Die?

[maiden abyss]

das?

[mild zenith]

Der?

[stuck smelt]

der

[dark garnet]

Der Satz

[cyan whale]

derrrr

[maiden abyss]

i just saw people add 'der' and 'die' so just wanted to complete the circle with 'das' 😂

[vivid cape]

Sorry, that's a very American reference...
@latent ravine What reference?

[latent ravine]

We used to have these cartoons in the 80s called School House Rock. They were songs about weird things like how a bill becomes a law or how conjunctions work.

They played during saturday morning cartoons.
