Im not sure about the history, but its effectively corresponds to England without day light sayings

If you look up your time zone it should also be listed in reference to UTC and you can use that to convert the time

West pacific is UTC - 8

Oh wait its just called pacific

[low glade]

for tomorrow there's not much u can do... make sure u sleep well and drink lots of water to be able to concentrate and fill the gaps as much as possible by holding to the words you know... for long term practice: join the "german only" voice channels on this server and listen to people talk, watch nachrichten in 100 sekunden from tagesschau, watch series such as türkishe für anfanger which is a fairly easy one to understand available on german netflix, follow learning-friendly soap-operas on deutsche welle such as jojo such das gluck and nico´s weg. Viel Glück!

umtauschen - can mean to exchange but mostly like return as in like return an item to a store

I just know Stoffwechsel ("stuff" + "exchange") means metabolism because it says it in that one alligatoah song "du bist schoen"

Hallo ihr fleißige Leseratten!!

Dieses Wochenende wird wieder mal gelesen! 🐢📖⏰

Diese Woche werden wir das 19. Kapitel lesen.
Also wir machen zwar das Gleiche wie letzt Woche, aber an einem unterschiedlichen Tag, denn, auch wenn es mir vielleicht ein bisschen peinlich ist, muss ich gestehen, dass ich eigentlich ein ziemlich großer Fan von Eurovision bin.

Also da Eurovision zu unserer gewohnten Zeit stattfinden wird, habe ich unsere Startzeit auf den Tag danach verschoben.

Wann: 23. Mai 21:00 UTC
Was: Aus dem Buch Momo vorlesen, die Handlung in eigenen Worten zusammenfassen, neue Wörter besprechen.

Wenn ihr Vorlesen wollt, könntet ihr bitte mal ein V vor eure Namen hinschreiben.
Und wenn ihr nur zuhören wollte, dann bitte ein Z hinschreiben.

Ich freue mich darauf, euch zu hören!!

Hi, what more could we do in the readings to make it more effective ?
Right now I just listen to other people read and listen to all the corrections.
Are you guys making notes in the pdf itself or write down meanings on paper and other stuff ?

[alpine fox]

For me personally, I pre-read the chapters [both for the beginner & advanced lessons]. Typically the first pass is to define words I don't recognize / can't immediately bring to mind. The second or third passes through the whole material are to get a more holistic understanding of the sentences, then paragraphs; I find the repeated readings helps things stick a bit more. If there's a particularly sticky or weirdly-worded sentence I still can't grasp, I'll throw that into something like DeepL for some idea of what's going on. I copy/paste the material into a google doc to annotate with notes & definitions. Then during the reading sessions, I'll write down stuff I inevitably pronounce wrong, to put in my list of "things to actively practice." But these steps might be overkill for those that understand things better.

[hollow narwhal]

You can pre-read the up coming chapters or post-read them. An easy way to review and incorporate what you learned is to listen to the chapters as audio. This is a common enough book that you can find audios of it on YouTube. Although not all with the same translation

Hallo zusammen! Wir fangen mit dem Momo Leserunde in etwa eine halbe Stunde an

Recommended Level(s)

[delicate vortex]

Opps *mit der

[hollow dock]

I have the copy printed out and make notes on that (in booklet format so it’s a 1/4 as many pages). Usually I’d go over it before the lesson, but I have exams for the next week and I can barely spare half an hour for the lessons, I certainly can’t manage to annotate it all beforehand. But the best way to practice in my opinion is to repeatedly read the text, then listen to it, then engage in a sort of question and answer thing, where you answer questions about it in german. You could kind of do that yourself I think by recording yourself asking questions about the text then answering them yourself, having written down the correct answer. That’s just my opinion though. I’ve been trying to persuade my boyfriend to consider asking if he could do an accompanying session to the reading asking questions about it and recording the questions and best answers so people could prepare in advance if they were still beginners. So they’d kind of get a bit of speaking practise in. But it would be a reasonable amount of work I think and also he’s not sure how to run a session and incredibly nervous. Still.. it’s my favourite technique for learning with books.

I’m going to go, I’d love to have stayed longer, especially during the last session, but I think I’m starting to feel the side effects the rest of my family was unfortunate enough to experience with the vaccine and I’ve got a creeping headache and am feeling shattered. Thank you so much though! Not just for this session, but for all of them. You’ve done an amazing job!

[green dew]

I will go to bed as well, I'd quite like this format (the reading) to be continued at some point, who knows, I might even host it. Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you @delicate vortexfor the sessions. They've been lovely and we had so much fun together. Hope you have a lovely rest evening and a nice session. Cheers!

Yes, idk if i should make an announcement but if so ill make it this evening

[visual jetty]

I’m confused

I was talking about the little prince lessons (but also interested if there will be another lesson tomorrow as well)

[hollow narwhal]

How far did you guys get?

[visual jetty]

Last week we finished chapter 11 I believe

[hollow narwhal]

What time do you guys usually have it?

[hollow narwhal]

Blu resumed uni so I'm guessing it might not happen

[visual jetty]

ok thank you

[hollow narwhal]

What time do you guys regularly have it?

[visual jetty]

12pm UTC

[hollow narwhal]

Ah... I remember that now. Way too early for me

I can maybe do one 3 hours later.

If you want to continue at that time then maybe have a mod ping and just work together with the regular readers on it

[visual jetty]

I think if we wanted to continue the little prince we should wait for Blu

[hollow narwhal]

I see.

[delicate vortex]

I cant make it this week guys

[visual jetty]

That's ok, good luck with uni work 🙂

[trail tendon]

But Tschuss being the modern-day spelling, after the reform, which got rid of the eszett?

from wikipedia:

A lamplighter is a person employed to light and maintain candle or, later, gas street lights. Very few exist today as most gas street lighting has long been replaced by electric lamps.

ausfragen = to ask a lot of questions

[cold dock]

Gibt es einen Grund warum es "Ich nahm sie wahr wie im Traum" ist und nicht "Ich nahm sie wie im Traum wahr" ?

[delicate vortex]

both are okay, you can think of the "wie ein traum" part of the sentence action a bit like a second clause

[cold dock]

ok

[delicate vortex]

its pretty common to say stuff like "Er sieht aus wie dein Vater" or similar

and likewise for other seperable verbs like wahrnehmen

@cold dock

[cold dock]

I find it more fluid actually, closer to the English grammar. I thought it was just a spoken thing

[delicate vortex]

most people find it easier to parse, you dont have to remember the verb for as long that way

before hearing the prefix and understanding the whole word

but once again both are fine, take your pick ^^

[cold dock]

Yes sometimes the sentence is so long and you have to remember that little particule until the end, it kinds of limits you in your thought process.

[boreal zealot]

Sorry, das streaming ist einfach zu überfordernd für mein Handy.. Mein Akku ist nun fast leer weswegen ich los muss ich wünsche euch viel Spaß weiterhin.

[delicate vortex]

oh nein es tut mir wirklich Leid, es war allerdings schön dich mal dabei zu haben, auch wenn es nur für eine Kurze zeit war

[boreal zealot]

Es fällt mir so schwer im herzen ah ich wechsle eben das Gerät 🏃‍♀️komm gleich wiedaa

Can't believe I'm not even gonna be asked if I want to read today.

[boreal zealot]

if you can change the names of the channels, you can certainly change ur nickname as well

[tranquil escarp]

I can't, I didn't change any names. 😌

tts de thank you bluwu for my life

[delicate vortex]

A big thank you to everyone who came today!

[hollow gale]

@delicate vortexthe next session will start from which chapter??

[delicate vortex]

from chapter 26 - the end hopefully

kapitel XXVI

[boreal zealot]

ich habe das Buch Gregstagebuch als e-Book, (whoa ganz viel Buch in einem Satz), wenn das gerichtlich erlaubt ist kann ich es euch in dem nächsten session streamen.

[delicate vortex]

gran du könntest dich dafür interessieren, bevor wir mit diesem Buch angefangen hatten, habe ich eine Reihe von Session abgehalten, die nur auf Deutsch geführt wurden. Bei denen haben wir aus dem Text vorlesen und danach auf Deutsch zusammengefasst/mit anderen Worten ausgedrückt. Ich hatte vor das nächste Buch auf diese Art und Weise durchzulesen

[boreal zealot]

ach prima! ganz ehrlich bevorzuge ich es auch, wenn das session völlig auf deutsch durchgeführt wird. so kann man nicht nur wörter ausm text herauslernen, sondern auch aus interaktion zwischen teilnehmern.

[delicate vortex]

ja es hat einen riesigen Spaß gemacht und zudem muss man sich nicht mit der schweren Aufgabe des Übersetzens auseinandersetzen

ich forderte auch auf, dass man neue wörter nur auf Deutsch erklärt. Mit Definitionen und Ähnliches

[boreal zealot]

genau,,,,, es fällt vielen schwer, den text ins Englische zu übersetzen. Obwohl ich mir sehr sicher bin, dass sie (ich einschließlich) den text eigentlich eingehend verstanden haben...

ich freue mich auf das nächste Reading session!

Session 74 (2021-07-02 at 21:00 UTC)

Hi everyone! On July 2nd at 9pm GMT/UTC (11pm CEST) we're going to have a casual welcome/intro night for the July-August Holiday Sessions. This will mostly just involve some introductions, some info about the upcoming sessions, and some fun activities - in particular, we're hoping to stream a movie for everyone, assuming no technical difficulties. We look forward to seeing you there!

Recommended Level(s)

All levels

[wary atlas]

Oh, forgot to add, the movie will be in German.

[night grove]

@wary atlas do you already have a movie/genre in mind or is it going to be more of a spur of the moment type thing?

[clear meadow]

I will definitely be there!

Session 78 (2021-07-03 at 21:00 UTC)

Hello everyone!

Welcome to out GLaD summer of sessions! 🌺 🌊 📚

In this lesson we will be going over n-declension, also known as weak masculine nouns.

When: 3rd July 21:00 UTC
**What: ** We will discuss which nouns are weak, how and when to decline them as well as the exceptions.

This is a B1-B2 level topic, and as such my explanations will assume a basic knowledge of cases and sentence structure in German. But as always, anyone of any level is welcome to attend :D

I will display slides on the topic, and use the #lessons text channel for exercises and questions, you are also welcome to use the voice channel for questions.

remind me please

[delicate vortex]

I will ping the role again 30mins before starting

[sharp hemlock]

Is there a way to get lessons added to my Google Calander?

[delicate vortex]

As well as when we start

[sharp hemlock]

Would be cool if GLAD had a "sessions" calander that we could sub to

[delicate vortex]

There is a calendar in the announcements

[hollow dock]

Why did I think something else was happening on the 3rd at that time? I’m so confused

[delicate vortex]

It is a self made one, so it wont interface with your google calendar, but you can manually put in the lessons

[delicate vortex]

There is the welcome event on the 2nd

This on the 3rd

[hollow dock]

Ahhh

What time is that?

[delicate vortex]

And reading on the 4th

[hollow dock]

And would you mind me coming even if I’m not B1?

[delicate vortex]

Anyone is welcome

[boreal zealot]

@delicate vortex how long will the session be?

[delicate vortex]

Some of the exersises may be hard for A levels, but i provide hints

[boreal zealot]

is Level a the lowest ?

[delicate vortex]

The topic itself isnt too hard, my exercises are probably what makes it hard

[boreal zealot]

should i pick the role ?

[delicate vortex]

A is beginners yes

[hollow dock]

I’ll do my best to keep up and try not to bother you if I can’t.

[sharp hemlock]

Pretty sure thats always OK

[delicate vortex]

Its okay im there so that people can ask questions

[delicate vortex]

About 2 hrs

[boreal zealot]

alrighty

ill be attending hopefully

[wary atlas]

Note to everyone interested in session times: You can type >sessions in #botchannel any time to see all upcoming sessions.

[hollow dock]

Thank you! I just don’t want to take up too much time because I’m there when I shouldn’t be.

Will this grammar session be happening every week or is it a one off?

[delicate vortex]

I have a few sessions which i will run sporadically, there will however be weekly beginner sessions

[hollow dock]

Ouch, I just had a look at the times. I think I might have to skip the beginner grammar sessions. I’m already struggling with the ones starting at 22:00, but the beginner ones start at midnight for me and 01:00 for anyone in Europe which is Rusty.

[green dew]

I shall attend as well, to help out if I can.

[hollow dock]

Oh no you won’t. Not with school.

I am not letting you stay up until 3 in the morning to get up at 6 the next day

[delicate vortex]

Last time we did these, we ran them twice at two different times, we might again, but its not planned

Therell be a notification if it goes ahead

[hollow dock]

I understand that’ll be a lot of work so I can understand why you probably don’t have time to. Don’t worry. I am not likely to be there for those however.

[green dew]

A nap never goes unappreciated...
besides, I think the 3rd July is a saturday...

[hollow dock]

The one on the 3rd starts at 10 my time 11 yours, which is what we were doing for the reading so that should be okay hopefully?

[wary atlas]

Yeah, unfortunately the two main people who hold lessons (me and Bluwu) are Australian, so we struggle to find times suitable for others, lol.

[boreal zealot]

Hello

[green dew]

🤔 I was considering holding sessions at some point but I have no idea what I could do...

[delicate vortex]

If youre interested, there is a document for lesson ideas

It doesnt have to be grammar

[hollow dock]

Just be careful Rusty. Don’t try and take on too much, because you’ve also got the group sessions to think about and school currently.

[wary atlas]

If you mean the ones for the study group, there's no reason those can't just be help publicly, right?

[hollow dock]

Where is that?

[hollow dock]

True I suppose, but I thought the whole point of them was to be split into smaller groups.

[wary atlas]

It depends on what kind of session you meant. I was thinking you meant like a lesson but maybe you just meant a discussion session.

[hollow dock]

If I actually thought I was at any level to run them I would. But the most I could do is a very beginner session and I’m not even sure I’d be able to answer all the questions there.

[wary atlas]

I'll DM you about it.

[runic reef]

@delicate vortexWill you be recording these sessions? These are really late for my timezone just like Advanced Reading ones (used to be) :/
It will be cool if you hold them again at a different time.

[boreal zealot]

it would be like at 12 am my time

but i dont have school plus i sleep at 4 am

[delicate vortex]

im sorry, im not comfortable with recording myself or anyone on discord. I will share my slides and word document afterwards

i could possible alternate my lesson times or hold it twice

i have uni at the moment, so twice is unlikely, but i can hold the wo and da compounds lesson closer to 12 UTC

[runic reef]

Thank you very much, I really appreciate that. I can understand recording can be uncomfortable .

[boreal zealot]

@delicate vortex sorry for the ping, but would we be learning grammar and punctuation ?

[delicate vortex]

i will be talking about n-declined words, i think it falls under grammar

punctuation is there too, but i wont be explicitly talking about comma placement and such

[boreal zealot]

alright sounds good

Session 74 (2021-07-02 at 21:00 UTC)

Hi everyone, the welcome night will begin in roughly 15 minutes. We're just going to go over some of the info about the holiday sessions and study groups, maybe introduce some of our sessions holders (if they're available), and then watch a movie in German - assuming no technical difficulties. But if we have any issues with the movie, we'll just do something else. See you there!

[sinful crow]

How do I join this activity

[burnt scaffold]

you can simply join #286179509852700672 when it starts

[boreal zealot]

Have you guys any idea if there will be more B1+ events than the two already given?

Any newcomer guide for beginners to get started here?

[worn harbor]

Does one need to be native to host/help with sessions? D:

[boreal zealot]

Grammar is nice, but if possible, improving writing and speaking facility would be peachy ❤️

[delicate vortex]

Sorry i was sorting out my headphones

[turbid lynx]

yes.. I need some help?!

[digital sierra]

i am very interested in events for b2+

[tranquil escarp]

This is just an introductory event. And a movie is planned afterwards, and subtitles are available for the movie. However, during the session marathon itself, beginner lessons are definitely planned.

[delicate vortex]

After the beginner reading i was thinking of going back to the advanced reading style @digital sierra @boreal zealot

[hollow dock]

Can I join in even if I’m not at that level yet?

[delicate vortex]

Its open for all like every event here

[digital sierra]

idk if this is a bit niche but i find that the gaps i have in my language as a heritage speaker are different to those of people learning german from scratch. so if there were any study groups for heritage speakers whose german is maybe B2 level but with weird gaps then that would be awesome. idk if there already is as i havent signed up yet

[scenic wharf]

can we do some classic german literature readings, for the B2+ crowd. like goethe, schiller, etc

[delicate vortex]

Hmmmmm i think i would cry so many old words

I was thinking a book similar to momo

[green pebble]

will this discord stage be utilised in the future for lessons? I find this great, that people coming in/out don't disturb the lesson
ok, we have to hold hands, but I don't think that's a problem? I guess you can give us all to talk now and then mute us all?

[delicate vortex]

If you know any short classics then we can do some short series

[digital sierra]

maybe stuff like "der Vorleser", "die Verwandlung"

[tranquil escarp]

Well, in theory we're open to it, but it's up to the session holders themselves to decide how they want to organize their sessions. For example, for reading sessions, a big problem is that stages don't support screen sharing (yet, though it's a planned feature). So for some lessons they're just not a good fit, but we could use them where it makes sense.

[digital sierra]

my time zone is british summer time so should fit in ok with others

[flint moon]

I thought screen sharing was the big feature of stage channels

[burnt scaffold]

nah sadly not (yet)

[trim lava]

CatCast™️

[flint moon]

yes!

[pseudo sand]

can confirm! am an outsider xD

[flint moon]

catcast + screen sharing = caTV

[versed iris]

haha _;D:

[hollow dock]

Could you do a night like this, talking and explaining things but solely in German?

[manic stag]

Is there anything planned for this welcome night aside from questions + movie?

[tranquil escarp]

A shoutout and welcome to everyone who joined us via Stage Discovery btw! It's our fist time trying it out and we're glad to have you here. We hope you enjoy this little part of our community.

[flint moon]

CatCast is just immersion but better

[hollow dock]

[abstract wing]

what movie?

[hollow dock]

Not sure if this would be practical, but on Zoom you can use breakout groups for little icebreaker sessions. You might have to pay for that though, no idea.

Anki!!

And memrise!

Or lots of reading

[versed iris]

Nooo

[tranquil escarp]

Running >faq beginner in the #botchannel is a great resource.

[flint moon]

Flashcards! real life ones!

[cyan mortar]

anki is good for flashcards

[manic stag]

I agree that reading and Anki flashcards are both great.

[flint moon]

it's important to not misgender your table

[hollow dock]

How do you learn the gender when you learn the words from reading?

[versed iris]

Then you remember the word for like 1-2 days perhaps a week, but you have to add the wrod to your vocab and use it to really remember it.

[hollow dock]

That’s a big issue I’ve had

[versed iris]

Thats why I dislike flashcards

[digital sierra]

any advice on learning genders of nouns when you know a lot of nouns but get the gender wrong a lot between masc/neuter?

[tranquil escarp]

@wary atlas could you point out >faq beginner?

[past saddle]

Wie komm ich hier in den casual voice?

[crisp valve]

I use Anki and think is wonderful for learning vocabulary

[manic stag]

You could learn a word from reading and then add it to Anki to help reinforce the gender and plural

[cyan mortar]

are there any anki sets you guys would recommend?

[boreal zealot]

Write down the word 100x in vocab book

[versed iris]

@cyan mortar I think it depends on your current knowledge

[flint moon]

you can make flashcards that show the word in context

[worn harbor]

your own

[manic stag]

Or you can learn from context clues, if you read about "eine blaue Katze" you can note that that's a feminine noun because of the words that come before it.

[flint moon]

CEST + MST for example

[worn harbor]

Read books, articles etc, and create flashcards with words you don’t know

it’s best to make your own decks

[manic stag]

(Obviously that doesn't help for e.g. "ein Pferd" or a word with no article)

[worn harbor]

with words you’re actually interested in using

[delicate vortex]

Mein Tisch will aber feminine sein, sie sieht zierlich und elegant aus und fühlt sich innerlich weiblich 😤

[hollow dock]

I notice feminine but find it hard to distinguish neuter and masculine

[tranquil escarp]

Sadly there really are no rules (apart from a very few exceptions like certain endings). But if making flashcards and things, always include the article and make the article essentially a part of the word. Don't give yourself a pass if you don't know it. See also >faq gender patterns in the #botchannel.

[flint moon]

WENN ICH SAG DASS DER TISCH MÄNNLICH IST IST DER TISCH MÄNNLICH 😤

[versed iris]

touché

[cyan mortar]

where can I find good reading material for a1

[manic stag]

It can be tricky to tell the difference between masculine and neuter with context clues, for sure, unless they're accusative. That's why adding words to flashcards is so handy.

You can use a dictionary like dict.cc

Ahh many answers

[manic stag]

Dictionaries, wikitionary, even google translate if you know how to use it.

[tranquil escarp]

Personally, the german wiktionary since it also has meanings, examples, translations into various other languages, but any dictionary will do.

[hollow dock]

Okay. I need to get over my disliking of dictionaries then

[delicate vortex]

Dict.cc lists the plural too @hollow dock which is also irregular

And should show if its weak

I’ll try that then, thank you!

So, a brief summary of the most important questions we got.

• What do you recommend for beginners?
You can read our #getting-started channel for general tips about this server and some learning resources. If you use >faq all in the #botchannel it will show you a list of cool guides written by community members. In particular, I want to highlight >faq beginner. Our curated resource list available at https://bit.ly/gladresources contains all sorts of useful resources too.

• Can we still sign up to the study groups, what are they?
See here for a description of what study groups are #announcements message and DM the lovely @wary atlas, if you're interested, but haven't signed up yet.

• What kind of events are planned?
All sessions are held by volunteers and up to them. We're gonna have movie nights, games, grammar lessons, reading lessons and more. If you're interested in helping out host a lesson, shoot us a message, you don't need to be a native to help out. You can see the currently scheduled sessions by using the >sessions command, but note that we're gonna continuously update that and add more sessions.

• Other questions about German in general, best practices, etc.
Feel free to ask those in #questions and the community will get to them!

• ** Other questions about organization, general questions about the server.**
Feel free to ask them here or in #general-2 and we'll do my best to help you out.

[boreal zealot]

Youtube

[mystic trail]

i dont think so, my tip would be just to talk with a native german speaker

[pastel sequoia]

honestly i think the best way is to just watch tv and talk in german

Session Description

N-Declension/Weak masculine nouns: Have you ever wondered why der Name becomes den Namen?? We’ll discuss this topic

Posted 2 days, 13 hours and 45 minutes ago

Hello everyone!

Welcome to out GLaD summer of sessions! 🌺 🌊 📚

In this lesson we will be going over n-declension, also known as weak masculine nouns.

When: 3rd July 21:00 UTC
**What: ** We will discuss which nouns are weak, how and when to decline them as well as the exceptions.

This is a B1-B2 level topic, and as such my explanations will assume a basic knowledge of cases and sentence structure in German. But as always, anyone of any level is welcome to attend :D

I will display slides on the topic, and use the #lessons text channel for exercises and questions, you are also welcome to use the voice channel for questions.

Type `>session list` to see a list of all sessions.
