Hello I am new here, is there a place where scheduled lessons are logged or are they to be joined as they happen

[wary atlas]

Yes, just join as they happen. But if you look in the pins, you can see a link to the materials from the beginner lessons.

[gray sky]

Danke 🙂

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.

Thank you

[stone lark]

Müsste man als lessonholder regelmäßig etwas veranstalten?

[delicate vortex]

@stone lark nein muss man nicht, man kann sessions halten und veranstalten, nur wenn man Lust/Motivation darauf hat.

[stone lark]

ok

danke

[delicate vortex]

Kein Ding 😄

[boreal zealot]

Hallo 🙂

[boreal zealot]

Ich habe meine Rollen ausgewählt. Wie kann ich wissen, wann Lektionen statt findet? 🙂 ; Sorry, ich bin neu ^^

[delicate vortex]

Derzeit sind keine veranstaltet, aber durch den Bot-Befehl >sessions kann man die geplanten Unterrichte anschauen. @boreal zealot

[boreal zealot]

echt cool, vielen Dank

[delicate vortex]

Bitte schön ☺️ Sei aber mal sicher, dass du die Bot-Befehle nur in den #botchannel Kanal eintippst

[boreal zealot]

Ist das eine Erinnerung an die Regeln oder habe ich den Bot-Befehl an einer unpassenden Stelle eingetippt? aha

[delicate vortex]

Nur eine Erinnerung 😌, wir bekommen befehle oft außerhalb des Botkannals eingegeben und die oft inaktiven Kanäle wie #general-2 und #lessons werden zu einem quasi zweiten Botkanal.

[boreal zealot]

Kann ich nachvollziehen. :')
Danke

Hey everyone! This Sunday, 3rd of January, 9pm (21:00) UTC, we will be doing a bit of a casual reading session, probably aimed around A2-B1, but everyone is welcome! Don't worry if you can't attend, because we'll be holding more sessions soon anyway.

Happy New Year everyone! Next weekend (Saturday, Jan 9, 9pm / 21:00 UTC) we're going to run a session that should hopefully complement your resolutions! We're going to discuss various aspects of setting goals, scheduling your study, what things to focus on when you study a language, ways to make studying languages more enjoyable, and whatever else we can think of to help prepare you all to reach your German learning goals for 2021. Feel free to bring along any questions you have as well! And if there are any specific topics you want to see us talk about, that I haven't mentioned here, feel free to post them in #community-discussion or send me a DM.

👍 "when" is that ?

hmmmmmm okay, i'll need to practice 🙂

[graceful island]

Lol

Ich meme nur uwu

[south merlin]

probably would of been better using a non separable verb, a lot of people probably dont understand

[cobalt forum]

separable verbs/trennbare Verben

[south merlin]

oh ok

i didnt see that

[strong heart]

If the verb is separated in the original sentence, can we take that as a sign to separate in the response question? (With the wo and da compound)

[muted shadow]

thank you, i like it better like this

[south merlin]

cool

[delicate vortex]

Womit fangen wir jetzt an?

[upper lake]

||Wofuer hast du 300euro fuer Schuhe ausgeben?||

[strong heart]

||wofür hast du 300€ ausgeben?||

[trim ferry]

so you always use the same preposition that was in the question?

[south merlin]

yeah

[dark garnet]

||Wofür haben wir ausgeben?||

||wofür hast du €300 ausgeben?||

[heady whale]

[upper lake]

oops

[cobalt forum]

||Wofür hast du 300€ ausgegeben? Damit ich für ein Jahr keine neuen Schuhe mehr kaufen muss||

[south merlin]

can wo be applied to everything or does it change with other prepositions?

[cobalt forum]

if you're using German layout it's AltGr+e

[strong heart]

So when do we use wo again?

[graceful island]

Warum hast du "ausgeben" gesagt wäre es nicht "ausgegeben"

[rare fern]

hold on a second: it is ausgegeben

not ausgeben

[trim ferry]

||Wofür hast du 300E ausgegeben?||

[graceful island]

lol

[muted shadow]

@delicate vortex i used "zu", is that also correct? it seems most people aren't using it

[rare fern]

@muted shadow hi

[upper lake]

it is a typical price for workboots ig

[south merlin]

300 is like $450

[graceful island]

Die echte Frage: warum hast du €300 ausgegeben?

[heady whale]

i could buy like

[upper lake]

oh okay nvm

[heady whale]

more than one game

[upper lake]

i forgot the exchange rate ahhaa

[flat helm]

you could buy a nintendo switch and almost one game

unless the prices are different in europe

[dark garnet]

What is all the wo for in these prepositions?

[heady whale]

get a switch lite and animal crossing!

[muted shadow]

you could buy 3000 bubblegums

[graceful island]

Oder 2 spiele und eine Switch lite

[south merlin]

wie lange dauert diese lektion, ich habe morgen Arbeit

[cobalt forum]

Weil Schuhe kaufen nervig ist und ich dann für's ganze Jahr genug habe

[dark garnet]

Oh okay

So wo is like “what” here with prepositions

[stark plinth]

Why would anyone do that

[graceful island]

We all make mistakes in the heat of passion, jimbo

[muted shadow]

:::: i don't even like bubble gum but when i was a kid it used to be a reference for money ahahahah
10cents bubble gum

[dark garnet]

Yes

[stark plinth]

@muted shadow lmao

[south merlin]

ACH

SO

[upper lake]

can you write these

[delicate vortex]

1. If the preposition begins with a vowel such as auf, aus, unter. Then you need to add an r.
Worauf, woraus, worunter. Darauf, daraus, darunter.

[upper lake]

oh thanks

[muted shadow]

wait, it's just for sayability ?

[graceful island]

wie "a(n)" auf englisch

[muted shadow]

i thought "raus" was an entire thing, is that the same or does it exist ?

[south merlin]

ok bye

[muted shadow]

ahahahah okay

[delicate vortex]

2. if the “object” being referred to by the da- or wo-compound is a person, they you cannot say damit or wogegen, but rather mit ihm/ihr or gegen wen.

Where the correct case also must be shown, especially with those wechselpräpositionen/two-way prepositions.

Meine Großmutter ist vor kurzem verstoben. An sie denke ich noch oft. (My grandmother passed away recently. I still think about her often.)

[graceful island]

Objekt wie ein Gegenstand oder der Akkusituv?

[strong heart]

Was ist wogegen?

[graceful island]

Okay okay

[strong heart]

Ach sooo

[delicate vortex]

mit wem

mit wem gehst du heute Abend aus

[graceful island]

whom moment

[stark plinth]

Those some fast typing skills

[south merlin]

holy

[strong heart]

8?? Wow

[flat helm]

[graceful island]

Blu could you turn up your Mic volume? I can't really hear you. :c

[delicate vortex]

3. Da and Wo compounds cannot be formed from außer, seit, gegenüber, ohne or any genitive prepositions.
These prepositions either need to repeat the noun or the corresponding preposition.

Ich liebe diese Fliegen! Ich kann nicht ohne sie/ohne diese Fliegen leben. (I love these flies/bowties! I can’t live without them)

[south merlin]

its fine for me?

[flat helm]

fine for me too

[strong heart]

Yeah same

[graceful island]

Yes

[flat helm]

[graceful island]

Corohne

[flat helm]

🅱️ ohne

[south merlin]

can you show us an example of ohne the same as the others

[muted shadow]

wait wait, how would you ask about "what cann you not live with" ? ^^

[south merlin]

like i cant live without x

what cant you live wityhout

[worn steppe]

Da ohne kann nicht leben. (ist das richtig?)

[graceful island]

Man kann "ohne das" sagen. Ne?

[upper lake]

🐸

[stark plinth]

Onhe ohne

[delicate vortex]

Ich liebe diese Fliegen! Ich kann nicht ohne sie/ohne diese Fliegen leben. (I love these flies/bowties! I can’t live without them)

[graceful island]

Poggers

[flat helm]

ohne was kannst du nicht leben

[muted shadow]

@delicate vortex if this was an exercise, how would you answer it

[south merlin]

but if you were asking what cant you live without you wouldnt say wo-ohne so would it be like ohne was

[graceful island]

Ohne dich uwu

[muted shadow]

Ohne was kannst du nicht leben ?

[delicate vortex]

Ohne was kannst du nicht leben

[south merlin]

cool 👍

[heady whale]

Bluwu ist sehr süß

[upper lake]

ja

[worn steppe]

Jaa

[flat helm]

[upper lake]

nom no

[south merlin]

german people

[delicate vortex]

4. Native speakers are an inconsistent bunch, and you can often hear, although grammatically incorrect, phrases such as “mit was”, “auf was”. But as a learner you should strive for the correct version, so ignore those native speakers here and say “womit” and “worauf”.

[graceful island]

Muttersprachler dummy moment

[runic badge]

I hereby declare mit was to be correct

[graceful island]

Lol

[runic badge]

Bite my shiny german ass

[upper lake]

i would love to

[heady whale]

[cobalt forum]

Hömma, isch kann so reede wi'sch will

[stark plinth]

Ohne deutsche ich kann nicht leben

[worn steppe]

Readyyy

[delicate vortex]

5. for those of you familiar with relative clauses, da-compounds cannot be used as the relative pronoun, they must be separately written.

Das ist mein Hund, um den ich mich täglich kümmere. (That is my dog, who I look after every day)

[stark plinth]

Deutsche deutsche überalles

[south merlin]

so what is the wrong word to use

[delicate vortex]

darum

um den

[graceful island]

Lol

Darum kann ich kein deutsch

uwu

[stark plinth]

nwn

[cobalt forum]

"Das ist mein Hund, darum kümmer ich mich täglich um ihn" (darum needs different construction)

[delicate vortex]

6. Some da-compound words have developed independent meanings, such as damit which is both “with that” and a conjunction, which has the meaning of in order to/so that or in German an um … zu clause.

Was machst du denn mit deinem Handy? Damit mache ich Fotos. (what are you doing with your phone? Im taking photos with it.)

Sein Papa gab ihm eine Kamera, damit er Fotos machen konnte. (His dad gave him a camera, so that he could take photos.)

Further examples are dabei (and yet) and darum (therefore)

Er ist sehr beschäftigt, aber dabei immer freundlich. (He is very busy and yet always friendly.)

[stark plinth]

Photo of what

[graceful island]

Jo! hast du Bock auf einem Party? Ja alter ich bin ja dabei. /s

[rare fern]

eine Party*

[graceful island]

Shib

[flat helm]

Ja alter ich bin bei der Party

[cobalt forum]

da simmer dabei, dat is prima, viva Colonia

[graceful island]

Hä? Du bist schon da?

[south merlin]

Was machst du denn mit deinem Handy? Damit mache ich Fotos. (what are you doing with your phone? Im taking photos with it.) Would people just say mache ich Fotos in spoken german or would damit be used?

[flat helm]

gott damit!

[graceful island]

God finna smitten you

[stark plinth]

God no, pleas no

[heady whale]

tasty, i like smitten apples

[flat helm]

draußen

du bist dran

[graceful island]

Auffi

[delicate vortex]

7. in speaking and colloquial writing, the “a” is often dropped darauf -> drauf. And some dialects even add a “d” **darauf -> dadrauf. **

Ich habe Lust drauf, einen Döner zu essen. (i wanna go eat a kebab.)

[cobalt forum]

Alter, hab ich Bock auf Döner

[graceful island]

Lol

[south merlin]

what is the meaning of darauf here?

[stark plinth]

War der Kebab lecker?

[south merlin]

ahhh dar auf

i see

[graceful island]

"the thing that I want to do is eat a kebab"

[south merlin]

5:50 am WA 🙂

[graceful island]

Deine Brille liegt auf dem Tisch.

Unless you are more interested, in this case, in the object that the glasses are on.

*Der Schlüssel liegt auf dem Tisch.

**Worauf *liegt der Schlüssel?? Junge du weißt doch schon, dass er in der Schüssel liegen soll, sonst zerkratzt er den Tisch!

For our exercises we will assume that were more interested in the location.

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.

[wary atlas]

@tardy prawn I basically went over the slide before, so don't worry about covering it. You can just talk about what your advice is.

[tawdry gorge]

or put it in your name!

@tardy prawn german youtubers and streamers are also valid

[hollow narwhal]

Does anyone know an n+1 Anki deck?

[tawdry gorge]

[hollow narwhal]

It's one that reuses vocab from the previous cards

Maybe we should make a glad one

[delicate vortex]

[fresh slate]

Will you be talking about how to learn random vocab without flashcards?

[hollow narwhal]

Oh lol

Yes oui can here ewe

[wary atlas]

Btw everyone, I'll add notes for this stuff later, for people who are worried about not catching everything. And I'll post the slides here.

[coral lantern]

Btw, some people don't realize at first, that the name colors represent the role/level: (Mods are red), yellow is native German, blue is C, purple is B and magenta is A, and green has no level role.

[wary atlas]

Sure.

[ruby ocean]

One simple thing you could do is translate sentences or words in that sentence that you think to yourself. The advantage of this is that each person has words that they often tend to use and learning how to express these "quirks" quickly can help you get into speaking German.

[grand void]

"oui" ?

[ruby ocean]

also: #thing-of-the-day of the day may also help.

[grand void]

like "oui baguette" ?

[fresh slate]

Danke

[edgy fulcrum]

Yes, but when you go to the Goethe Zertifikät they don't accept mistakes in the exam 😦

[coral lantern]

and in regards to the dialects - it's roughly like that...

[hollow narwhal]

I'm clapping on the inside

And with one hand, so it's like a snap almost

[trim lava]

Nice one @tawdry gorge 😄

[grand void]

please don't tell me every area here have different words

[coral lantern]

xDD

depends

[tawdry gorge]

Thank you everyone, and thank you shinderu for the fantastic graph!

[grand void]

is it really different ?

from german like we learn it

[tawdry gorge]

not every but its common haha

[hollow narwhal]

Yes as also the royal we

[tawdry gorge]

The standard language will still be used in a professional setting and emails!

[cobalt forum]

Ne, mer rede alle jleich.

[grand void]

do you speak baguette ?

[coral lantern]

Brötchen is a good example

[grand void]

I really understood like nothing

[coral lantern]

most are taught High German, but that doesn't mean they will use it everywhere.

[ruby ocean]

"gibt es am Ort so nicht"? huh?

[grand void]

If someone speaks german fluently will he be able to understand people near france for example

[ruby ocean]

da gibt es kein Brötchen???

[tawdry gorge]

no, maybe vaguely if they speak luxembourgish

but every one my friends from luxembourg cannot understand french entirely, unless they learnt it for uni or high school

or have family etc.

[grand void]

I didnt' mean that

[coral lantern]

horrifying, right? ._.

[tawdry gorge]

ah sorry, maybe I didn't express myself well, no even if hte border is close, these days the language difference is quite clear

[grand void]

I meant if someone speaks basic german fluently will he be able to communicate with people all over germany ?

[tawdry gorge]

oh yes sorry!

hochdeutsch is understood everywhere, its used formally, for media, movies and series etc.

[coral lantern]

mostly, at least in cities. Countryside can be confusing/totally strange; depends.

[grand void]

Okay

[tawdry gorge]

ja a semma bidde

[grand void]

oh it's the same for every country

[hollow narwhal]

We can't understand him anyway

[coral lantern]

@tawdry gorge huit dei bappm, d'zipfei, oda ih brenn' dia oane ;3

[hollow narwhal]

Where did his accent go?

[tawdry gorge]

AHAH i understand half of this and im still proud

[grand void]

I speak french and the way people talk in the north and in the south of france is completely different, it's the same for germany

[trim lava]

lol @coral lantern XD

[coral lantern]

@tawdry gorge host mi, d'nieslprim?! sei stat, dra di haam, geest wo'd'herkeast!

[grand void]

Is the accent from berlin the "basic" accent of german ?

[tawdry gorge]

go where you came from?

[coral lantern]

@grand void not at all

[tawdry gorge]

base do you wanna ask it here

[wary atlas]

@tawdry gorge I think Pferd was just asking if you had any specific question about what you asked him.

[coral lantern]

@tawdry gorge yeah^^

[tawdry gorge]

[eternal dawn]

Thank you so much hecke

[ruby ocean]

"pferd ist sehr cool"

[delicate vortex]

I was going to mention the block account amount for students

[tawdry gorge]

If you have specific questions on moving to germany or a german-speaking country feel free to DM me or ask publicly in #archived-culture-study-visa !

[delicate vortex]

10,332€ per year 861€ per month

Recommended amounts for students to have

Which is on the high end too but should suffice for any City in Germany

[trim lava]

deepl

[willow jolt]

I like deepl

[delicate vortex]

I love linguee

❤️

[onyx stratus]

I also use ImTranslator browser extension

[ruby ocean]

very good for collocations

[tawdry gorge]

https://context.reverso.net/translation/

https://www.linguee.com/

[onyx stratus]

you can select text and translate it. combine that with opening pdfs in browser, you can translate books

[real cypress]

Linguee has an app as well

[hollow narwhal]

You can also get example sentences in deepl

[gilded whale]

google translate is good is you wanted to translate pictures or live images

[onyx stratus]

looks like that, uses google translator

[ruby ocean]

oh cool, das wusste ich nicht

[hollow narwhal]

Like shindeiru said cause it's part of linguiee

[edgy fulcrum]

Pons or Dudden.

Can translate in a lot of Languages.

[ruby ocean]

ex resources

[tacit mauve]

Resources

https://bit.ly/gladresources

[ruby ocean]

we also have a list here of dictionaries and that

[tawdry gorge]

@coral lantern do you have the link to that chrome extension

[edgy fulcrum]

Duolingo is good for learn Vocabulary.

[tawdry gorge]

I still have tabs of dict.cc open on every window lol

[delicate vortex]

Same

Reflex reaction to opening a new web page, dwds + dict always open

[coral lantern]

@tawdry gorge https://addons.mozilla.org/de/firefox/addon/dictcc-translation/

[tawdry gorge]

ah I have a chrome based browser, sad

I'll see if I can find it for that too

[coral lantern]

you have to change some options, though, not make it more neat

[ruby ocean]

@glacial sluice here is a list of apps/software that we recommend: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1J5PJK0qStw2DHQHdRHuKIfq_bJrZkFarQVT7fkz13tg/edit#heading=h.bofym3a702s2

anki is only available on android iirc, memrise on all

[gilded whale]

i use it to translate and understand recipes

[tight pond]

Do you think there is value in watching YouTube or listening to podcasts even though I don't understand a lot of it? I saw advice before that it can be useful just to get used to the sound of the language

[delicate vortex]

@sharp comet i temporarily muted you for background noise let a helper or mod know when its all sorted

[ruby ocean]

I personally think that is good for songs because you pick up words and the "melody" of the language, but I wouldn't recommend it for anything complicated as you will just be lost.

[frank tulip]

Yeah , rap songs like "Gzuz"

[gilded whale]

when i started to learn English, i begin watching movies several times, the first time with sub in my native language, and next a second time with sub in English. it really help if you have sometime to associate stuff, like the flash cards work ^^

[onyx stratus]

story driven single player videogames are really good for language learning

also Hades, because of lore not related to the gameplay

and there is a lot of text

[hollow narwhal]

Maybe once you know the most common grammar patterns

[tight pond]

@wary atlas Thanks! That helps :)

[real cypress]

Ankidroid is free on Android, the iOS app is available but paid

[gilded whale]

now im watching Over Christmas in netflix

[heady whale]

reading is fun!

[coral lantern]

I really wouldn't recommend German Rap for learning, since it often uses slang (anglicisms, for example), strange phrasing, and many emulate or speak in some foreign accent or another, to convey certain connotations.

[trim lava]

Yees reading Ü

[delicate vortex]

Reading 💖

[trim lava]

I need Momo in my life again 😿

[boreal zealot]

I would recommend this podcast for beginner/intermediate stage learners. It is free and spoken slowly and is relatively simple vocab-wise https://slowgerman.com/

[hollow narwhal]

I did spanish with just limiting news to only spanish

[real cypress]

For reading ebooks there's apps with integrated dictionary, really useful (Lithium or others)

[heady whale]

ooo lithium is good

[trim ferry]

Stardew Valley!

[heady whale]

oh! i used animal crossing for german learning!

[real cypress]

Yeah I love the simplicity of it

[coral lantern]

Minecraft even has translations for some dialects, like Bavarian^^

[hollow narwhal]

I started the same with french learning useful words like voiture piégée

[heady whale]

for more advanced things, games like deponia, night of the rabbit, book of unwritten tales, and state of mind are all from german developers.

[trim lava]

Or for authentic voice acting: Gothic 😏

[heady whale]

all the games i listed were originally voiced in german i think

[onyx stratus]

games with voiceover that doubles the text, but in foreign language is good

you get immediate translation of written text

it´s like movies with subtitles.

[hollow narwhal]

You can also voice type and practice your pronunciation too

[real cypress]

Easy tip to integrate practicing German in daily activities: write your shopping lists in German!

[coral lantern]

wrong stress patterns/intonation can really disturb listeners, and makes it harder to parse what was said; even worse, if the pronunciation is off^^"

[gilded whale]

i practice pronunciation with google translate
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/226061545539371020/797581281810317352/unknown.png

[ruby ocean]

italki might be of interest for people if they want a native person to talk to regularly. Costs money tho

[heady whale]

Katzen!

[fresh slate]

I talk to my pets in german too lol

[ruby ocean]

@gilded whale is that automated? That sounds okay to get an idea of how it sounds like, yeah. For individual words, you could use forvo: https://forvo.com/search/pferd/

[coral lantern]

in IPA, the stress is marked by small apostrophes to the left of the syllable, like with "April [aˈpʁɪl]", where "pril" is stressed.

[cobalt forum]

"Wat sing ming Föös widder kalt"

[ruby ocean]

it is a dictionary of pronunciations of words by native speakers

[coral lantern]

there are a lot of other little symbols, but that one is the most common, I think.

[hollow narwhal]

Or comment on people in public: du siehst sehr dumm aus.

[trim lava]

Danke Trax 😻

[hollow narwhal]

Yw cato :)

[ruby ocean]

pro-tip for speaking practice: get a boy/girlfriend who is a native speaker
