German letters

Being able to type German letters is quite important!

• Schon = already. Schön = beautiful.
• Mutter = mother. Mütter = mothers.

How to? There are several options.
🔸 Use a program like AutoHotkey. Download the program from https://www.autohotkey.com/ and read the pinned message in #resources for instructions on how to set it up. It can be used with any keyboard layout and the hotkeys can be customised.

🔸 US International layout: this is basically just a US keyboard layout with extra characters, so if you're using a US-style keyboard or something similar, the transition is very easy! Everything stays as you know it, except that some of the symbol keys can be used to create the special characters. For example " + a = ä. You can also do RightAlt + s = ß.
To use US International on Windows, look for the Region & Language options and switch your selected keyboard layout to US International.

🔸 If you are on Mac, there are two simple possibilities:

• The accent menu - Pressing and holding a letter key will display multiple variants of the letter, including umlauts, which can then be selected using the number keys.
• Dead keys - Pressing Option + u, then pressing a, u, or o, respectively, will display the umlaut variant of that letter. You can also press Option + s to enter ß.
  See this support article for more information:
  https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/enter-characters-with-accent-marks-on-mac-mh27474/mac

See the next page for more alternatives.

Hey guys, I’m looking for a German textbook for kids. Not like a dinky textbook I’m finding on Amazon. More like Polish Krok Po Kroku junior edition, but German. Any ideas? My daughter is getting beyond what I can safely teach her as I’m also learning Polish lol I need guided instruction, context clues heavy, fully in German.

I used the search up top too. But if I missed something, I’m sorry. Please link it if you don’t mind 😊

Hey everyone, I'm looking for a website or an app that has the german word and its translation into english with maybe a phrase so I can memorize it better. Something quick and easy so I can use it as a refresher and to add more vocab of course! Thank you

[flint halo]

i assume any bilingual dictionary will work? There is a dictionary app called Linguee that I use. It has an english translation and example sentences. That may be of help to you

Yes, we disabled the bot in this channel because people kept misusing it as a #botchannel . We didn't get around to creating a workaround yet since not many resources were being suggested recently anyway.

But feel free to suggest stuff here anyway and I'll just manually search it later when I update the resource list.

[hushed orbit]

Hello guys! I am learning German. I have found a really nice course online but I need a tool/resource for learning new words. Is there any app or something for it?

[wraith onyx]

Duolingo is pretty good for learning new vocabulary. My best advice is to try to learn what the things you see/use in your day to day are called in German

Pretty sure Goethe also has a vocabulary list you “should” learn per level

[wispy vortex]

Has someone recommendations on channels about language learning and productivity in German?

One of my main reasons to procrastinate is watching these kind of channels. I know exactly what they will talk about, which dubious studies they will show and the same groundbreaking method they're using; but whenever a new video is released, I'll certainly be there.

So, I thought: why not watch this content at least in German? For a while, I'm watching Judithe Barthomeuf.

[acoustic grotto]

Hey! Does anyone know some German learning apps that could really teach it but not by generally learning a lot of information, more like duolingo (where a person is getting introduced with some words and then gets to practice it) ,but which could really help learning new words and grammar (and not js doing the same stuff all over again as it is in duo)

Nicos

Nicos Weg is a free online program aimed at helping people learn German. It includes video, audio, text, grammar explanations, notes, vocabulary, and exercises. It also includes very useful cultural and bureaucratic information, such as how to open a bank account, while teaching you the relevant grammar and vocabulary.

It’s fairly popular and well-recommended, but keep in mind that you can’t learn a language with only one resource, even if it’s a good one!

You can find the program here: https://learngerman.dw.com/en/nicos-weg/c-36519789

They are geared towards children, so usually pretty easy to understand. Also, most jokes are visual, so even if u don't get it exactly, it's still funny.

Hi Leute! Ich bereite mich gerade auf die B2-Prüfung vor. Habt ihr Tipps für den schriftlichen Teil (Schreiben) oder für die Diskussion im mündlichen Teil? Welche Ressourcen haben euch am meisten geholfen? Vielen Dank!

[viral acorn]

Ich höre Easy German podcast oft, es ist hilfreich und gut für B1/2 niveau

Es ist auf Spotify

[fair tartan]

I listen to them fairly often. At the B1/2 level they are probably good just to have stuff to listen to, but will be very easy to understand. I think it would be worth looking for harder podcasts. I've tried " Verbrechen" which is a truecrime podcast. They are a little too much for my level so it may be more appropriate.

[viral acorn]

yeah I am looking for an alternative

[fair tartan]

Another I listen to is "Was Jetzt?" which is a daily news podcast from Die Zeit. If you are into such things I've found some youtube channels that are in German. I've been watching "TheCleric", a bunch of friends playing silly videogames together. They speak German but have english subtitles. Others like Kurzgesagt, which you probably know of, have German versions of their videos.

[misty valve]

I think most likely fiction podcasts will be easier than regular talking podcasts since they are usually voice acted to have clear-spoken vocals at a pace that's easy to follow. Maybe that's a good next step.

Does anyone have a pdf for verb conjugation?

[misty valve]

faq present tense

[twilit needle]

Conjugation

Präsens (Present Tense)
When you use a verb in a sentence (or clause), you have to conjugate it (change the form) to match the subject of the sentence (or clause).

For example, in English, we write I eat but he/she eats. The verb has a different ending! The concept is the same in German, except German has more endings.

The first thing you need to know in order to conjugate verbs is: which ending fits which subject? Here is a simple verb “trinken” (to drink) as an example:

trinken
ich trinke
du trinkst
er/sie/es trinkt
wir trinken
ihr trinkt
sie trinken / Sie trinken
(Note: the conjugation for sie (they) and Sie (formal you) is always the same)

Vowel/Stem Changes
There are a few variations and exceptions, but the most important is vowel changes (also called stem changes). Some verbs get a vowel change, which only affects the du and er/sie/es forms of the verb. (However, modal verbs and wissen have their own special pattern, which also has a vowel change in the ich form.)

Example: ich schlafe, du schläfst

Other Changes
There are various other differences but I can’t describe them all here, so please read these websites or use Google to find more information: https://www.vistawide.com/german/grammar/german_verbs_present_tense.htm
https://www.thoughtco.com/german-present-tense-verbs-4074838

@carmine canopy schrecken is rarely used. Use erschrecken instead

Ok

I also noticed that you tend to use indefinite articles for the english translation even though the german word uses a definite article (e.g "der Chef" -> "a boss")

Nonetheless, great work! @carmine canopy

Well yes

It's easier to use der die das

that vid is so funny

yes

@carmine canopy I can continue to point out mistakes/typos if you'd like me to

xd

You can correct them and send them back? XD

ok just write them 😄

I can correct them on the weekend if you want

if u want you can write examples for the verbs 😂 too much work

:)

lol bitte

Typos like "oponent"

instead of opponent

Would you mind explaining why some words are bold @carmine canopy

because they r harder to remember or more important lol

or both

i mean both

Ah okay

"Nachrichtensendug" -> "Nachrichtensendung"

what is that

news

Although "newscast/news broadcast" fits better

I guess you meant "die Nachrichten" -> the news

in den Nachrichten?

in den Schlagzeilen?

Please elaborate

in den Nachrichten sehen?

"Momentan schaue ich die Nachrichten (im Fernsehen)"

Yours works too

"Ich konnte es gestern in den Nachrichten sehen"

i mean
ich habe es in den Nachrichten gesehen

Ja

in den Nachrichten lesen

*in der Zeitung lesen

😄

@carmine canopy "schrecklich" can also be an adjective

yes
and also why are some adverbs classified as adjectives?

because they can be used for both purposes

Either as an adjective or adverb

i was looking them up on dict
and all adv were classified as adj only

"Ich bin schrecklich müde" or as adjective: "Ich habe einen schrecklichen Hunger"

yes

were they classified as "Adj" or "adj"

if they were classifed as "adj", that usually indicates that said adverb can be used as an adjective even though it doesnt classify as one

Why do you keep scaring me? - schrecken?
You scared me - erschrecken?

just scratch "schrecken" completely. We only use it with other prepositions like "auf". E.g " ich wurde aufgeschreckt"

really?

1st sentence would be "Warum erschreckst du mich andauernd"

2nd "Du hast mich erschreckt"

yeah

Using "erschrecken" correctly is incredibly difficult.

I can link you to a german article which explains the problem

http://spiegel.de/kultur/zwiebelfisch/a-314546.html

why is sich erschrecken Umg

What exactly do you mean?

what is then standard german

A "standard" form of this verb does not exist

It's either transitive/non-transitive or reflexive

(On a side note: it doesnt really matter if you use the transitive or non transitive form because most native speakers wont notice it anyway)

PSA: If you know any helpful listening exercises or videos for the resource list, post them, so we can expand the list. Or you could even include youtube playlists of your favorite artists, so we can make a music section too, preferrably also specifying the genre, since I'm terrible at telling those apart.

Also someonr on Reddit recommended the point and click German adventure game Deponia. I bought it for my iPad and have been enjoying playing it. Lots of dialogue but even if you don't understand it all its still fun to play.

[verbal matrix]

Ugh. That thing. It's so cheesy. Certainly good for learning, but I had trouble getting past the first few episodes.

[junior pond]

But in a childish way

[carmine canopy]

Haha I guess Im a cheeseball bc I enjoy the Extra series. Deutsch plus I found a bit boring but I should watch more episodes. @junior pond so you have played Deponia? Any other game recommendations?

[junior pond]

I didn't play all of them because I'm not actually to keen on point & click adventures but a friend recommended them to me and they were really cheap during a sale some time ago

can you put it in the google docs resources

don't look at me, I just posted :3

Just mentioning it 😄 not blaming you for anything

[half maple]

I have such an awesome idea

[carmine canopy]

in Irish ulc means disgusting or terrible

reminded me of that

and it's the opposite

[night shell]

Isn't ulkig more like strange (looking)?

[half maple]

synonyms for Woman in german : http://i.imgur.com/hGpkBxH.png

Kappa

[south karma]

Ulkig for me is more like funny / weird

[night shell]

Ah, right

[south karma]

Yeah good idea to call a woman Nutte or Schlampe 😃 good synonym, they Love being called that

[night shell]

"Frauenzimmer" - last time I checked we had 2016

[half maple]

[south karma]

Not 1500something

Or whenever they used that word

[half maple]

also, I would never call anyone a Walroß

it just takes so long do say

du Walroß

[carmine canopy]

it's shorter than many other things

[half maple]

sure, but still long

[south karma]

Übergewichtig has more syllables than Walross

[half maple]

I want my insults to be short and clear

[carmine canopy]

that's the opposite of my school of thought

[night shell]

"Luder" for men => bastard

What the

[carmine canopy]

the more aulic and articulated the better

[half maple]

why would I bother making up a long insult when the fuck won't understand anyway?

[carmine canopy]

because (s)he not being able to understand it is an insult in itself

[half maple]

wher's the fun in that? xD

[south karma]

Isn't Luder for women lol

[night shell]

Yes, eigentlich schon

[carmine canopy]

like "you're the following list of things, half of which you're not even educated enough to understand"

bonus points if it's achieved with the victim's native language while you're not a native

[half maple]

I would rather laugh into someone face while just simply saying to him that he's a fuck

might be just me tho

[carmine canopy]

yeah but that doesn't leave a mark, does it? It won't be slowly eating them from inside while their subconscious reflects on them actually being stupider than the person that insulted them

but really I just have fun making things up, I don't do it for any other reason

[half maple]

eh, I'm not that kind of person, I "live for the moment" as in, I don't care what was or what will be

I just care for how things are right now

[zenith widget]

Are there history stuff in German? Like easy af podcasts or something

[frank marsh]

Or legended video chanels in youtube

[oak python]

slow german does stuff on culture and history sometimes

also for the unaware, goethe institut has a spotify. they have playlists of various german music.

they don't have hip hop but Sido's station is good for that if you're interested

[half maple]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VPUlJBFQPJ4&list=PL56727213B1256303

a german strategy let's player that talks in a very clear "high German" . If it's something you fancy, take a look. @everyone

[umbral osprey]

@half maple I would actually say the player talks a little Bavarian or Alemannic. Even setting aside pronunciation, note for instance his use of wo in Relativsätze, which is not considered Hochdeutsch afaik:
“Das ist Spellforce, eins der Projekte, wo ich einen ungeheueren Respekt für hab”
[Hochdeutsch: Das ist Spellforce, eins der Projekte, für die ich einen ungeheueren Respekt hab]
“Die Leute, wo es kennen… / Die Leute, wo es nicht kennen…”
[Hochdeutsch: Die Leute, die es kennen… / Die Leute, die es nicht kennen…]

Of course, if you’re interested in the contents of the video, there’s plenty German to learn from speakers of all sorts, and it can be good for learners to get exposure to dialectal features within the context of near-Hochdeutsch.

[half maple]

yea, I worded my sentence wrong

it's not really really "Hochdeutsch" but it's understandable and it can be good practice to talk in a way everyone would understand

[rancid mountain]

für das*

or wofür

and he's just cutting it up

still probably considered non-standard

I do that too though

not the "Die Leute, wo..."part though

There's a neat tool in our google doc called radio garden. Maybe you can find a good radio station there. Unfortunately I'm not the most avid radio listener 😦 Depending on your skill level you may as well listen to Domian on Youtube maybe? 😃

I don't know if this has been posted before but I think it's a really useful source for adjective declensions. It really helped me.

[carmine canopy]

Wusste nicht, dass reich ein Gemütszustand ist

[full storm]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[carmine canopy]

ich habe es dir gesagt

[jagged bluff]

LOL

[carmine canopy]

I'm pasting a ruleset I made here, so people can use it. I came up with it last year. It helps determine the correct place to put 'nicht' in a sentence. It doesn't always work; there are snag cases. However, it works much better than any of the rules I found online. All of those had too many exceptions, too many rules, and didn't perform as well as mine seems to.

Nicht Ruleset: helps 😀 you determine where to put 'nicht' in a sentence.

I wrote some code that compiled thousands of sentences in German that contained 'nicht'. I then build a tree of rules that encapculated as many of those sentences as possible with the least number of steps. Hopefully it helps some of you.

[sleek holly]

[carmine canopy]

@sleek holly np man! Hope it helps people!

@sleek holly btw, what's B(n)?

[sleek holly]

B n, as n approaches infinity.

[carmine canopy]

I know that, but what's the function?

[sleek holly]

A function that returns the letter B suffixed by the number n, indicating one's level of German haha.

[carmine canopy]

lol

But wait....maybe B∞ is C1.

like 0.999... = 1 😃

was thinking the same thing

but perhaps it's just ever so slightly not enough to be C1

[sleek holly]

There are ongoing discussions about that, but I still don't feel nearly confident enough to call myself C1 for now.

[carmine canopy]

I think that's a hilarious way to express that. Good job lol

Btw, @carmine canopy has fallen into the trap of thinking there's an infinitesimal gap 😛

[sleek holly]

Good job @nimble flame :D
He gave me that name to satisfy my math fetishes because he's a nice person.

[carmine canopy]

I know fuck all about maths so... x)

Let's test that out :P
Hey @carmine canopy, is this true: 0.9999.... = 1 ?

[sleek holly]

mumbles something about the flaws of the decimal system

[carmine canopy]

probably? Otherwise some simple arithmetics would make little sense, like (10/3)*3=10

It's not a flaw. It's just that people underestimate the meaning of the '...'.

I'm in an ugly limbo where I seem to like maths as a concept but I'm too inept to actually be able to expand my knowledge past occasional, wild notions

[sleek holly]

Did that cunt just?

[carmine canopy]

?

breaks beer bottle to create tension

[sleek holly]

The bot's whitelist system broke and it censored me.

[carmine canopy]

rips off three shirts

[sleek holly]

What I said was that it arises from the fact that 0.3333... is not representable in a nice non-repeating way.

[carmine canopy]

Yes it is. Here it is: 4

lololol

[sleek holly]

Brilliant.

[carmine canopy]

how could that statement possibly contain anything the bot would censor?

[sleek holly]

An absurdly large number of 3's.

[carmine canopy]

now now, not a very mathematiciany thing to do, inefficiently repeating the same number where you could have used some kind of notation

yep!

I'd get back into math if it didn't feel like I was climbing a very tall ladder to nowhere.

which is exactly what maths is

mathssssss

every now and then you reach a height where some form of applied mathematics is relevant

my senses perceived an American mocking British spelling :0

[sleek holly]

Shhhh. Math is love. When it's being nice and understandable.

[carmine canopy]

It's fun when you're in the ladder and you look back and think "I can help other people on the ladder, and I can also feel superior to those who don't even bother to climb the ladder. Look at those sheep. Frickin' idiots.", but then you look up the ladder and it's like "the further up I go, the less people there are to talk to who know what I'm talking about, and I'm lonely and this is dull and I'm cold."

~on the ladder.

[sleek holly]

It's nice when you have the free time to actually climb the ladder on your own instead of watching some guy climb higher and higher every day without knowing how the hell he does it. Though it's a lovely feeling when you actually get the time to climb after a while, and climbing makes perfect sense and you dooo it, yaaaaaay. I may be taking this too far. 😂

[carmine canopy]

and also when you look below you, the people who aren't even trying to climb are somehow still not very far from you despite how much you climbed

[sleek holly]

Nah they are. They're all ground-loving plebs.

[carmine canopy]

lol

I found myself climbing up a greasy part of the ladder. I'd work my ass off climbing, lose interest, go explore something else, slide down, come back, repeat.

Let's explore PDEs! Oh look a shiny thing over there! come back Let's explore PDEs!

[carmine canopy]

Do you think there is a way to get books with German and English/French text side by side? It would really help me practice reading German, since checking every few words can become daunting

[sleek holly]

You could go for English books with translations, and then dock the windows next to each other. Note that translations aren't always 1:1 though, and looking up words to really understand their meaning is probably the most beneficial variant, IMO.

Oh, didn’t know it had TTS at all. Haven’t been to the site in a long time.

[carmine canopy]

Wow, that's excellent!

I also had a look at Parallel Text, but the translations are way off

It's like watching a movie where the subtitles say the same thing in a different way. Not very helpful if you want to grasp syntax patterns.

The paragraphs are not always lined up, either

[sleek holly]

Well most translations are like that. Making it sound good is a higher priority than making it structurally match with the original.

[carmine canopy]

That's why legal translations are usually the most faithful

I've found a few on Amazon

http://amzn.to/2jbnkxb

(FYI: referral link)

[broken berry]

There is also a browser plug-in called ReadLang, which lets you look up words on spot.

[carmine canopy]

I got the dict.cc extension, because I really like dict.cc 😃

[gentle jungle]

Danke, ich werde ReadLang versuchen!

[wide onyx]

there's always google translate tool which works the same

you highlight stuff and it translates

though its functionality isn't like dict.cc/readlang. I use it mostly for grammar proofing / too lazy to read deutsch

A good dictionary, with over 800,000 entries: https://pda.leo.org

[carmine canopy]

I have finished the doulingo tree, and I am now A2, does anyone have resources that etend me from that point?

[fervent oxide]

@carmine canopy https://readlang.com lets you read and translate, and words you translate will be made into flashcards

[swift wigeon]

Readlang is kind of bad with German though, because it treats the prefixes in verbs like ankommen as separate words, from when I last used it at least.

[fervent oxide]

Yeah, so you'll have to translate seperable words with something like http://dict.cc and manually edit them

But it's not that bad

[swift wigeon]

Yeah

[carmine canopy]

That;s quite useful @fervent oxide , thanks man

[fervent oxide]

No problem

[carmine canopy]

Does anyone have a good like adjective list? I have one for describing people but

I want a really advanced ajdective list for describing things like music and plays

Art in general there we go that's a good word. If anyone could point me to a resource with advanced art/music/film adjectives I'd appreciate it

[umbral owl]

Complete list of adjectives:
http://wortwuchs.net/adjektivliste/

They're not translated though, so if you're unsure about the meaning, feel free to ask ^^

[carmine canopy]

That's quite a lot 😂 thank you I bookmarked the link though for my folders

do you know any genre/theme-specific lists (about art ETC)

[umbral owl]

I'll take a look

[carmine canopy]

Danke Mann

[umbral owl]

Found 180

http://www.30tausend.de/180-adjektive-liste/

Not just art, but any adjective that invokes emotion, so almost all work really well with what you're looking for.

Not sure if this has been posted earlier, but here's a mini telenovella series for B1-B2 levels - http://www.dw.com/de/folge-1-die-ankunft/l-17395817

It also comes with subtitles, a glossary, and some tests and exercises.

If you want to watch only the videos this youtube playlist is better - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLB92CD6B288E5DB61

The whole thing is hilarious and might seem very silly, but it's a good start to get accustomed to the language and get comfortable watching shows in German! 😃

[random sand]

Idk if this has already been mentioned here, but the daad had come out with a new app called verstehen sie Deutsch. Here is a short description of the app: How well do you know German phrases and idioms? Did you ever find yourself totally baffled in the middle of a German conversation? Oder haben Sie "nur Bahnhof verstanden” (Was it all Greek to you)?
Learn German phrases and improve your German comprehension with our Alumniportal Deutschland App „Verstehen Sie Deutsch?“. Take the quiz, guess the meaning of more than 1,000 idioms and phrases and take your German skills to the next level.

@dry walrus Songs would be around there (i mean depending on the song obv) 😉 and some audio books of "not so complicated novels" would be.

ugh there's some site, i can't recall the exact name of it, but it's part of the goethe institut website resources and it has resources on there based on level

but i really can't remember the name right now

oh here it is; https://www.goethe.de/prj/dfd/en/home.cfm

[tranquil thunder]

Hi! So I'm trying to find good ways to learn German and I'm wondering if Duoling is a valid way to do this. I'm always curious about the accuracy of Duolingo's courses. From I've gathered It's alright but it's not very good for learning to pronounce words. Does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Or if anyone knows any good sites or books for beginners that would be wonderful too

[sick sedge]

@dry walrus there is also langsam gesprochene Nachrichten on dw.de

[carmine canopy]

@tranquil thunder duolingo is generally bad for that. You should search for a kind of course that guides you step by step through grammar; the good ones also start by teaching you pronunciation and german orthography. There could be some good links if you look into the resource list (pinned link, or at the top of the page)

[tranquil thunder]

@carmine canopy Thanks for your help.

[dry walrus]

thanks

[carmine canopy]

I have just discovered a great website online, it is really awesome!!!

[indigo basin]

Does anyone have some app/good mobile sites to practice A2/B1 german on iphone? I have a long train commute each day and right now I do duolingo/memrise but need something a little more involved.

[vivid meteor]

I was researching and saw someone mention the "Dino lernt Deutsch" series for beginning reading

http://books.learnoutlive.com/learn-german-with-stories-cafe-in-berlin-10-short-stories-for-beginners/

[oak python]

yeah this series is quite good for beginners esp, it's sort of a graded-reading (the first one is very easy and it gradually gets a little more complex) I've read all of the ones out now and found them to be great, though not all that entertaining

I think the krimis made by the same author are better as far as entertainment value, though they are more geared towards intermediate level learners

[vivid meteor]

Do you know of any other good beginner reading?

[oak python]

I really liked the "cultural graded readers" from "american book company," because they were doable for me when I was a noob, and also because they're everywhere on ebay for whatever reason

particularly the beethoven one I found interesting, though it's probably better to start with the first one in the series. I forget what it is

[vivid meteor]

I'll look them up

[oak python]

if you get kindle unlimited, there are also a ton of parallel text books which are helpful, but I find they make me lazy so I can't give a good recommendation on them. that's personal preference though, give them a shot. If you can find "Momo" that's a very good natively German children's book that isn't completely boring

and

http://www.derkleineprinz-online.de/text/1-kapitel/

"The Little Prince" is one of the better children's books as well imo. I'm not sure how accessible it is for A-Level, but definitely something I recommend for at some point 😃

[vivid meteor]

I'll look into it

[idle rampart]

I've been using that deck for a while

I recommend it

[hallow haven]

Thanks 😄 The one I have only has 500 so it's quite limited

[viral basin]

@hallow haven can you share it?

[hallow haven]

I think it's this one but it seems it's been updated since I got it about 7 months ago

http://www.howwedu.com/flashcards

[indigo basin]

wtf it's $24.99 for the anki ios app

[carmine canopy]

Uhh really?

Is that AnkiPro (if such a thing exists) or the normal Anki

It's free on Android

[indigo basin]

There's another that's free from a different company

The one in image is the one that's linked on ankiweb

the app 'AnkiApp' is free and let me download that 4000 word one

[unkempt sinew]

the desktop version is free. only the ios version is not free

[carmine canopy]

That's insane tho

$24.99

when android is free

[unkempt sinew]

they cost 12 dollars?

[carmine canopy]

You can use a free one on the website.

[umbral owl]

For a pack of 10!

Bargain

[unkempt sinew]

that is not justified

[hallow haven]

it's 35$ on the canadian app store :/

I used to use it on my laptop but... I'm lazy. I'll start using it again soon

[carmine canopy]

Gonna be honest though guys the mobile version (android at least) is not so great, desktop is much better.

[carmine canopy]

Are allowed to link to not so legal resources or no : )

x 2

https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8YPuVPtcuyAbjhpakVtYUhBVzQ/view?usp=sharing

It's a book (written in German soz A1 people) about all grammatically terms like Ablaut, Absentiv, flektieren, freier Dativ etc. etc. and it explains what they are, usually gives an english translation, gives examples in German and yeah I mean I only really use it if I'm trying to find out something difficult (like Absentiv) and i like to read through it every so often out of pure interest so go crazy 🤷🏼

If you can also somehow find a way to my profile with that link there's a preposition book on there as well for some reason which i dont remmeber uploading but go wild.

@vivid meteor Check out Slow German on YouTube

German for Reading: https://mega.nz/#!RtNCxYiZ

[carmine canopy]

@carmine canopy ob is for boolean questions where the answer is either one way or the other, just like english "whether"

wenn is for all other cases

That's what I thought

wann is for time and it's a different thing entirely

I was getting confused as Cuth was saying "wenn" = when

falls is "in the event that/of"

which I thought wann = when, and wenn = if

[sleek holly]

Well, both, really.

[carmine canopy]

XD verwirrt

[sleek holly]

Wann is the temporal when, while wenn is the conditional one (for present and future).

[carmine canopy]

Okay

That makes sense

[sleek holly]

Wann is basically always a question. ;)
Oh also, #questions for questions please. ❤

[vivid meteor]

Does anyone know I can find some relatively low-level vocabulary/writing exercises, challenges, etc?

[warm fulcrum]

you know clozemaster, yeah?

[vivid meteor]

I'll look into it

[north sleet]

Any course based websites like doulingo? I'd love a training program that starts from the basics, not just something that teachs me words and phrases without saying why you used der instead of die etc.

[viral basin]

hey @north sleet, did you check out https://www.reddit.com/r/German/wiki/faq ?

I think Q2 would answer your question.

[north sleet]

will do, thanks

[carmine canopy]

@unkempt sinew i think yesterday or the day before in vc you named some website and you said it was better than lingvist, what was it again?

[unkempt sinew]

Clozemaster

i have not done it a lot but it has far bigger courses

[carmine canopy]

is there listening comprehension too?

[unkempt sinew]

I think that Lingvist in of itself is a bit better though because it also has listening and reading comprehension exercises

to an amount yes

ah nah, they don't it seems

Lingvist has that though

[carmine canopy]

aw ok. When i tried lingvist a while ago there wasn't very much

do you or anyone know a site that has speaking exercises too? And isn't duolingo?

[unkempt sinew]

yeah, it is still being developed

[carmine canopy]

fair enough. Danki

[unkempt sinew]

listening exercises are really hard to come by

i would guess the easy language channel on youtube is the closest thing to listening exercises that i can think of

it is a bit annoying though that you cannot watch the videos without subtitles

[carmine canopy]

yeah

[unkempt sinew]

@carmine canopy i just looked through the resource list and maybe this is something:
http://www.dw.com/en/learn-german/level-b2/s-13230

[carmine canopy]

well mostly i just listen to tagesschau or dw recordings

[unkempt sinew]

ah ok

http://slowgerman.com/

http://www.nachrichtenleicht.de/

[warm fulcrum]

i was listening to the easy german a while back

and realized that if i read the subtitles i didn't actively understand the german

if i just wasn't looking there i could understand what they was saying

but when i focused on the english text my brain filtered out the words

[swift wigeon]

They should make subs optional

Or at least only display German ones and add optional English ones

Mandatory German and English subs = no bueno

[carmine canopy]

yeah and i can't imagine submitting the subs to youtube would be more work than hardsubbing

[unkempt sinew]

i can kind of understand them in that they think it is important that several subtitles are displayed at once, but it would be really great if they could just upload a subtitle-free version of the video

[swift wigeon]

I try watching their videos sometimes, but I can’t actually watch the video itself because my eyes will drift down to the subs and I don’t want to just read the subs, because listening is still something I’m a bit shit with

[fervent oxide]

@sleek holly Noticed you don't have vocabulix.com in the doc, it's a pretty useful one for conjugating verbs

[sleek holly]

Thanks! Was actually gonna go to bed now, so I'll add it in the morning. 😄

[carmine canopy]

I use reverso for looking up conjugation. http://conjugator.reverso.net/conjugation-german.html

[idle rampart]

I often close my eyes when watching easy german

It's a stupid solution to the problem

[swift wigeon]

Does anyone have good German streaming sites? (I have a vpn, so that won’t be an issue)

[stiff cedar]

the most famous is probably burningseries, but it's gotten so bloated with advertisements lately that I wouldn't really recommend it anymore. But if you have a Adblock and don't mind it, that's probably the site to go.

[swift wigeon]

danke 😃

[swift wigeon]

https://www.memrise.com/user/Baas/courses/teaching/ This guy has a bunch of Memrise courses on various German dialects for English, so if that’s something that interests you then go ahead 😄 (he also has a lot of other languages and stuff)

[zenith kraken]

what german/english dictionaries do you guys recommend?

[carmine canopy]

i use dict.cc and dict.leo.org

[stiff cedar]

dict.cc

[carmine canopy]

the second one has useful conjugation and declension tables

otherwise you can use conjugator.reverso.net and some other site like lingolia for declension tables

[zenith kraken]

Repost from @daring wadi's introduction since we like to keep #introductions clean: I'm working on this atm http://deutschdrang.com/dir/beginner-level-worksheets

[carmine canopy]

https://www.amazon.com/Barrons-1001-Pitfalls-German-Third/dp/0812096525

I have this book from the library atm and it's really great, I mainly use it so i can write down the pitfalls and watch out for easy traps to fall into, but i've been reading throguh the whole book and it's actually really good grammar-wise for the intermediate learner.

Nowhere near Hammer's but i think it's a good stepping stone from a beginner's grammar book > hammer

Unfortunately i and about 4 others looked around and we cant find a pdf at ALL so ur gnna have to buy it, but its only £8 / $9

i just bought this book @carmine canopy http://www.ebay.com/itm/352011045347?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

not as good as mine soz

oh ive seen that around actually

Fisa recommended it to me

Should be a good one for beginner's then, i dont know of any beginner's ones at all really 😂

[vivid meteor]

@carmine canopy Is it like a workbook with exercises or more like a guide?

[carmine canopy]

idk, I just bought it yesterday

in the mail

[vivid meteor]

Oh

[junior tinsel]

lingvist sucks

memrise and duolingo are good

specially for getting picking up vocab..and then probably music and movies in german along with it, would be the ideal thing.

also speaking with natives

[vivid meteor]

Duo's emphasis on translation can be a weak point, but it isn't bad for starting out.

[worn dirge]

Any good resources to self prep for A2?

Other than DW?

[carmine canopy]

does anyone have a nice graphical cheat sheet for verb-order rules?

@carmine canopy I'm new here and I just read your comment regarding Hammer's book, are you looking for it? I have the 5th edition in PDF

[sleek holly]

Yup.

[unkempt sinew]

it is in the resource list as well

[carmine canopy]

what comment 😮

I already have the PDF

😂

have used hammers since god knows

[minor stirrup]

nvm, I missunderstood, you were probably talking about Barron's 1001 pitfalls

Yeah

a pdf of that was impossible to find : >
