i mean you could listen to kids songs but those are annoying, so just listen to a big playlist of german songs on youtube and find an artist you like.

Do you have any recommendations

[midnight pelican]

if you want catchy, CRO is ok he has a more pop feel to his songs

sticks to your brain pretty easily

that's all i can think of, again it depends on what your favorite genre is

Heyo. Just a reminder that due to Discord's ToS we're not allowed to provide links to pirated content on the server.

[celest loom]

If you have Netflix, you can change its language to German and you'll have many more options with German subs and dubs. For more advanced learners I'd suggest checking out websites/apps of German TV broadcasters. ZDF Mediathek, ARD Mediathek, ARTE are some examples. (Because of these apps I'm addicted to german documentaries right now.) For beginners there are a lot of great YouTube channels that are already listed in the resource list.

Hi all! Any people who finished the Fast Fluency Fast Track on Clozemaster? Almost 20.000 sentences. Any feedback?

Of course I don't expect to get fluent with this, but I'm curious if at least the vocabulary gets to a decent level, 4000-5000 words, maybe?

[ebon cloud]

I study the 2000 most common word list on Clozemaster because that is something like 95% of daily conversation. It's a good review system, and I think it's good if you have a decent understanding of German grammar already. Since Clozemaster uses example sentences, I find it useful to learn and remember the vocab with the grammar I already know in German.

For example, it's easy to learn "heiß" with the sentence "Mir ist es heiß" because I remember the word and the construction.

Overall, Clozemaster is one of the better vocabulary trainers imo because of the example sentences. But I do a lot of study beyond Clozemaster (i.e. reading, watching German tv, and so on).

[unkempt creek]

Hey, where is Clozemaster an app? How can I benefit from it too?

[ebon cloud]

Clozemaster is a normal app in the app store. I use Android, so I found it easily in the Google Play Store. The desktop website is also fine and easy to use.

No... usually if you have no access to the TestDaF books, it's a good idea to either do the mock test they have on their website https://www.testdaf.de/de/teilnehmende/der-papierbasierte-testdaf/vorbereitung-auf-den-papierbasierten-testdaf/#c949 or ||pirate them on b-ok or LibGen if you're not in Germany or some very strict antipiracy country||

[fallen perch]

watch things multiple times or watch something super simple like Sesamstrasse

[celest loom]

Do you listen to things close to your level, that you can understand? I think it's less effective if you don't understand what you listen to. So I agree with brice's advice. Listen to things you already know the subject/plot of, or just super simple things. Moreover, listening skills depend a lot on vocabulary. If you don't know the words you won't understand them when you hear them, so I'd suggest practicing vocabulary too.

And most importantly, if you burned out take a break and focus on other things. Come back to it when you feel ready.

[ornate plover]

If you just started learning German, and you are looking for input (like a video or a book) which you can understand, this video is pretty much the best. It's good because: 1. It's extremely easy to understand what's going on from the context 2. the vocab is really simple and useful 3. the video is very short, so watching it over and over isn't very time consuming https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wUH-_n6ob_A

Hält nichts und alles wahr,

[dim willow]

[hallow phoenix]

What has really helped me is to meditate at least 5 min a day, slowly growing it to more if you're comfortable. I know not everyone is into meditation but perhaps just take that 5-10 min a day and just disconnect and relax.

It will help clear your mind at least. For me, lots of those thoughts I need breaks, etc were because I had too much going on in my head

I can also suggest using a pomadoro timer, it may help your brain to recongise a break is on the way and just focus until you get there. It's an amazing tool I use both the pomodoro timer and the meditation daily. Hope it helps

[spring estuary]

Yeah i will follow this but how should i meditate

[hallow phoenix]

There isn't a real wrong way but I felt lost without a slightly more "regimented" but still relaxed approach. I'm using an app to help me now called Balance, I believe they're actually giving a year away for free now. Anyways its guided and it tracks your progress. I'd follow one of the plans first and you can still do little extras around it if you want

but they teach you as you go. There are lots of them though also some good resources on youtube and stuff. Personally I prefer these ones that don't go very deep into buddhism because I'm not religious. Meditation is not exclusively buddhist and I think everyone can benefit

[heavy hull]

I have a great idea for a vocabulary app -- sort of like a tinder for nouns where you use it to learn the gender. What I have in mind is just a deck of cards with all sorts of nouns and you have to swipe left/up/right to sort of "guess" whether it's masc/neuter/fem and when you swipe it gives you feedback. If you get it right 2-3 times it will remove that noun from the deck, otherwise it will keep showing up in the rotation until you get it right.

Does this make sense? I think it's a really basic idea and I'm wondering if anyone knows of such a thing or something similar? I wouldn't be surprised if it already exists!

If it does, great! I can practice my nouns
If it doesn't, then even better, I can build it myself and then use it to practice nouns

the search "Der Die Das" on the iPhone App Store found some similar apps, in case anyone was interested in something like this!

Are there any language counsellors or any person who can help me with how I should go about preparing for the A2 exam

I really need your help, preparing for the exam is overwhelming

[marsh turret]

im not a language counsellor but i can try, although ive never taken a german language test

-practice as many question papers and previous exams and sample papers as you can!! when learning for a test you have to simulate the environment of it and also get used to answering questions and being test-minded, you should leave yourself enough time between your material revisions and your test to practice and quiz yourself enough for the test
**-**do one test asap, analyse it and see where you are lacking for eg. in the grammar topic of tenses or in listening comprehension
**-**once youve narrowed it down then you can ask for help on the specific topic you feel most lacking
**-**look over the goethe a2 word list and practice words that you dont know from there, making flashcards or writing it down etc
**-**make sure you know the syllabus- i.e what topics in grammar what other general topics etc
and the pattern of the question paper: what kind of questions come for the writing part? what kind of questions come for the speaking part etc
**-**if i were you id also look at youtubers whove taken the test and see how it is, https://youtu.be/PTVIbRyBPGA or something like this because i learnt on youtube that the testdaf has a very fixed pattern of questions and can be practiced for more, or tell us here and someone who has written it or has more experience can attempt to guide you

also how much time you got left to prepare for it?+are you in a language course or self study+is it a standard certificate test like goethe/telc or a one held at a smaller scale like uni (for example)

go through some sample question papers and record the answers to the speaking part, post it in #corrections if you're comfortable or get someone to correct it
keep practicing as much as you can
and for listening, always listen to things with some white noise in the background because exams be like that, they will be set in a noisy cafe or something

[coral socket]

faq gender

[twilit needle]

Grammatical gender

German nouns are sorted in three different genders: masculine, neuter and feminine. These have nothing to do with sex or social gender.
The first thing genders will influence are articles like der, das, die. Each word has its own and you better get it right: some words that look identical can have different meanings depending on the gender they're used with. For example:
die Band = the (musical) band,
der Band = the (book) volume,
das Band = the tape.

Some words, mainly trademarks and loanwords, have multiple acceptable genders while having no change in meaning:
der Jogurt = das Jogurt
das Virus = der Virus
These may vary by region or colloquiality.

💢 But WHY, German, WHY ⁉
Gender is actually quite useful! Since sentence structure is less rigid than in English, grammatical case helps you tell the various elements apart (with some practice), and that works through genders: each gender has its own forms, which makes everything a little less ambiguous. Besides, as you've seen with Band above, it allows us to make up words with different meanings that look the same but are not ambiguous, and if that's not magic, I don't know what is. ✨

🙀 But how am I supposed to tell them apart? 🙀
Check out >explain gender patterns. 😉

How to enjoy learning a language

Why is it so hard for me to listen to the conversations?

Why does it feel like i can't frame sentences on my own even though i know the sentence structures, and all?

[marsh turret]

find content in that language which you'd consume in your native one

for me that would be german pop songs, funny comedy videos in german, video essays, german versions of the books i enjoyed as a kid etc

also language learning is not always fun

most of it is not fun, but i would use the fun i get from the fun things to motivate myself into doing the not so fun things

take a sip of water everytime i say fun above

[heavy horizon]

It's all a matter of having formed the neural structure in your brain.
It takes time to understand languages. Everytime you listen to or read German stuff it's like one more inch being build of the neural highway that develops in your brain.

Hello. Are there free apps/websites/books/stories/novels where I can practice reading (A2)? It'd be nice if I could translate each word right there (by clicking it or something) (like in Readle, but Readle's paid)

(I did have a look at the list of resources, but the books are either paid or without the feature I mentioned)

[raven vapor]

Hi there! I might be late to answer this but some words' meanings change depending on the sentence, so translating every word one by one would not always result in accurate translations and some words don't have exact meanings in english and you can only understand what it means from the sentence

I hope I was able to explain it

[gleaming schooner]

Thank you for this resource! I have a question. The pronunciation sounds a bit different from what I'm used to hear, is it some dialect or is it Standard German pronunciation?

[undone hemlock]

It's standard Hoch Deutsch, nothing unusual so far for me.

[gleaming schooner]

I see, thank you.

[undone hemlock]

You can use https://forvo.com/languages/de/ if you really need a 2nd opinion. It has real human recordings.

[gleaming schooner]

How do you call this other pronunciation of "ich" and "sich"? Maybe I mishear it, but to me there is a clear difference in pronunciation of "sich" (for example) in "All German Words (with Audio)" and other resources like forvo? I'm sorry if this sounds passive aggressive, I'm really ignorant on this matter and maybe I'm overthinking ahead of time (instead of actually studying), but I'd rather figure out which pronunciation is the safest to follow.

[undone hemlock]

Try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=po1SyrEUziA

[gleaming schooner]

Thank you, it's very helpful! Considering I'm a total beginner I can be totally wrong on this, but to me "ich" in the video corresponds to the pronunciation similar to those in forvo, whereas in "All German Words (with Audio) there is some additional subtle sound.

[undone hemlock]

Well, keep in mind that people on Memrise or in Anki decks use whatever audio files they can find.

[edgy trail]

Found this interesting

[long terrace]

Hey. I'm looking at the textbooks section. Do you recommend picking one book from Basic, then Intermediate, then... Modern? I'm skimming over the Modern and it feels like this one is already quite self contained.

[misty valve]

The books currently listed in the Advanced section are both grammar reference books. You normally don't work through them like a normal textbook; you just reference them when you see a grammar concept you don't understand. Similar to a dictionary. You don't read the whole dictionary to learn new words; you look up a word when you want to know what it means. Does that make sense?

[long terrace]

Yes, it does. So to get an experience more akin to follow a curriculum, do you recommend reading the book from the beginner to the intermediate levels?

[misty valve]

Sure. You don't necessarily have to use a textbook though. I think for German a mixture of resources is the most beneficial. There are also lists available here that can help guide you through the topics. Like this, for example: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Kz1Xqx0sFXAWys-Mgfhjc-M8JDCMtoeeGXcg5-orP_A/edit

There are also some useful "advanced" textbooks out there but the higher level you go, the less generalized they become, since as you get to advanced level of language, the range of topics you can look into becomes very broad.

Whereas for beginner books, they're almost all going to cover the same topics.

[long terrace]

Thanks for the recommendation. Yes, currently my plan is to go through a german textbook and Anki as many examples and declension tables as I can get. Once I got the Basics covered, I'll probably start to watch videos and read books in German, get a tandem partner, Ankiing everything in the process. I'll probably also follow an intermediate textbook in parallel. After that, I think I will just take it chill and Anki anything I see that I don't understand.

Hi! I am picking up German from scratch (studied it a few years ago, was around A2-B1 level but I forgot most of it), and I thought of trying Assimil German with Ease + maybe Pimsleur if I were to get some money + Anki + immersive content + talking to German friends (later on) to start off in a semi-intensive approach; however, I cannot find the audio files for Assimil German With Ease (2019 version) anywhere, could anyone here point me at where I could find them? If not, what other textbooks do y'all recommend? I have read the resource list, but I really do not like the idea of using multiple books at once.

Plural dative is incorrect.

[dusty kelp]

Leuten?

[misty valve]

Yep.

[dusty kelp]

Oh, snap! Sorry base

Anything else?

[misty valve]

You also don't need a separate row for ein and kein. You can just have one row for both. Same for the first row - it's not necessary because the second row shows the same info.

http://germanforenglishspeakers.com/adjectives/adjective-declensions/

Here you can use this for reference. There are 3 tables, which represents the 3 rows your table would use.

[dusty kelp]

Thanks ^^

[misty valve]

If you want one more efficiency you can add: nominative and accusative is the same for feminine, neuter and plural. They don't change between cases. So instead of repeating the same thing twice, you could merge them into one cell.

[dusty kelp]

Yeah!

[misty valve]

Same for dative-genitive for feminine.

[dusty kelp]

Have to edit the whole thing

[misty valve]

It's up to you based on how you want to represent it, but I generally feel like minimizing the info and showing patterns is the best option.

[dusty kelp]

@misty valve What do you think, Base? ^^

[misty valve]

It's still worthwhile to have the second row for the plural. You just have to use a different word than ein. For example, a lot of charts use mein instead of ein, so that they can include plural.

[dusty kelp]

Noted, anything else?

[misty valve]

The rest looks good to me. Like I said last time, you could combine dative and genitive of feminine if you want, but that's not important, just wanted to mention it.

[dusty kelp]

Omg, yeah! Thanks for the help, Base 🫂

[pallid hedge]

any good resources for learning Bayerisch?

[pure canopy]

1. It‘s called Bairisch
2. It‘s a dialect group consisting of many many different varieties - there is no standard form of Bairisch
3. I‘d advise learning Standard German first
4. Trying to imitate dialect can seem very offensive and often times people will think you‘re mocking them. It‘s extremely difficult to sound authentic. You will more or less get used to it and will understand people speaking in Dialect but speaking in Dialect yourself could take years.
5. I doubt there are hardly any resources on learning a bavarian Dialect - either you grew up with it and learnt it or you don‘t. People don‘t learn dialects like foreign languages.

That is just my opinion.

I don‘t wanna discourage you, just keep this in mind.

[pallid hedge]

Thanks for the input. I should have clarified that my goal it to understand someone speaking in a southern dialect, I don’t intend to mock anybody. I have friends that live in southern Germany and would like to speak to their parents and grandparents but their accent is a bit thick. I’d also place myself around B2 for Hochdeutsch, so I’m not worried about communicating at a standard level.

I can offer you to practice with me - I speak a middle bavarian dialect

Just so you know if someone did not mention this yet: "Bayerisch" refers to dialects spoken in Bavaria, while "Bairisch" is the term that refers to a larger group of dialects from multiple different regions. Austrian German for example is counted towards "Bairisch"

Hallo! Ich bin Maalik!

I've been exploring resources to learn German, but many of the free websites like Deutsch Welle and the UT Austin website aren't laid out too good, and are literally slow to load pages and what not, and the problems of only using Duolingo are clear. So, I've decided to bite the bullet and buy a proper German basics textbook.

Have any of y'all used German Made Simple by Arnold Leitner? If not what other textbooks y'all recommend for someone brand new that include both grammar and vocabulary?

[orchid trail]

Hello! Can I ask if anyone has Past Goethe A2 papers/ resources other than the one they gave on their website? thank you!

[cosmic quarry]

Hallo! Do we have something like top 500 German verbs? There isn't one in the curated resources list

[bleak compass]

I personnaly like those from the Schubert Verlag. I would recommend you to test them all (most offer the first chapter on their website) and see which one suits you the best

[marsh turret]

https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/german check out some verb lists here

[cosmic quarry]

thank you 🙂

[steady igloo]

easy german has 2 videos on verbs (100 top verbs each) and Learn German has a series on 150 verbs in 10 days. would recommend. i learned a few common ones from there which were really important

[tawny sigil]

Thanks for the suggestion! However, I'm curious how I should use this kind of book, given I'm learning by myself, and that the book is entirely in German?

[misty valve]

Since you have this server to ask if you get stuck, you should be fine with a book all in German. You can look up English explanations for the same topics if the German one isn't enough.

[bleak compass]

What Basementality said and those books are made for beginners. I just looked it up and Schubert added English explanations in their A-level books. They also all add a lot of images. You don't have to and shouldn't stick to one resource anyways. It's good to see different ways of explaining one rule.

[tawny sigil]

@bleak compass @misty valve

I've decided to go for German for Dummies since I liked what I saw on the preview of the first chapter. Let's see how far that'll get me. Was thinking about using the Schubert textbook but shipping to the US would be a fair few weeks away.

Nevertheless, thanks for the help boys and see y'all around!

[misty valve]

I haven't used it but I think I remember that German for Dummies is one of the books that uses really messed up pronunciation guides, so I would just be careful and make sure to check that.

It's definitely not a popular book and I don't think I know anyone who has recommended it, but it's fine to try things out until you find something you like anyway.

[carmine canopy]

does anyone here who passed a2 german exam tell me how i can pull it off in 30 days

[bleak compass]

It's possible but you have to work a lot. I did about 3h per day of reading lessons and doing exercises on it. Using apps to learn vocabulary and watching a lot of german things, movies, music, videos.

Hello everyone, so I observed that sometimes people would use articles such as der, die when referring to someone or something . For example der kommt. Why is that? And what topic can I find that? I have checked out pronouns and asides relative pronouns can’t seem to find it.

In reading, there are so many reflexives… sich in a lot of sentences that it becomes confusing . For example, Dabei kann sich ein Retrofit der
bestehenden Steuerung lohnen…. Is there a resource where I can understand why sentences are constructed this way and how to know when to include a reflex . It comes up every time. Thanks in advance.

Hello, I have completed the A2 series on Learn german, so can anyone suggest any other resource I should use or should I continue with the B1 series ?

There are plenty of resources and I definitely recommend using a variety. But as for continuing the B1 series, that's up to you to decide. I don't think there's any upside or downside to continuing with that series specifically. It's just personal preference.

[wanton orchid]

I am asking should I do anything else before moving on to B1 as then It would be difficult for me to return to A2

[carmine canopy]

Is there a good collection of test prompts for speaking and writing? Like for tests. Like Goethe certificate and the like.

[carmine canopy]

Thank you 💞 I will check it out.

[carmine canopy]

I head there is approximately 2000 words that a person with B1 has to learn. Can someone share with me the list of that vocabulary ?

[calm apex]

Google Goethe b1 vocab

[carmine canopy]

As the other guy said usually they refer to the pdfs from the Goethe's website. The other obvious one is the Langescheidt's Basic German Vocabulary/Langenscheidt Grundwortschatz Deutsch als Fremdsprache. That one has 4000 words. 2000 basic words + 2000 more advanced words. But in practice, you also need to learn stuffs like their conjugation, plural form, usage, prepositions position, etc. So not simply memorize 2000 words or 2000 anki cards.

[carmine canopy]

Couldn't find one. There's some hueber books that claim they have 15 Modelltests. But they can be expensive. Like the Project B2 Neu has 2 books. The reason I asked is because for TOEFL, there are usually a whole lot of resources online and offline. Like some kind of test bank.

https://languagedrops.com/ Drops by Kahoot!
it is a GREAT collection of vocabulary- sorted topic wise and quite niche but still useful.
also great for memory, even tho it doesnt have spaced repetition, the words still show up often even if youve done them long ago
cons: lets you use it for only 5 minutes a day( perhaps not a con, since it can get addicting)
also has no typing, just swiping and other basic movements to match answers which i found really annoying to use

I included only those that someone recommended to me or I would recommend. But my all time favorite is probably Zombey, but the one I myself watch most often is PietSmiet

[half jasper]

how effective are podcasts?

[misty valve]

They're good for really training your listening skill. The ones aimed at native speakers will be extremely difficult for beginners and even intermediate learners, but can also be a great source of vocab for advanced speakers. I definitely think it's important to choose a podcast that matches your current skill level.

You won't magically learn a language by just listening to it though. You have to do other learning tasks to give yourself a foundation for listening. Build up the skill gradually.

[half jasper]

Appreciate it @misty valve
Thanks!

[carmine canopy]

very nice, thanks 😄
