factoring in semantics as well, more less obvious patterns like "rivers are usually feminine" could surface
(we should probably move this to #science btw)
I just made this small chart which some people may like. It condenses almost all of declension down to two charts to show one way in which you can reduce the amount of memorization work. There are other ways you can do it too - it's personal preference - but please try to make your own life easier by recognizing patterns as you learn.
Unfortunately the articles are completely random in german, there are no real rules for them.
It's pretty savage for people who want to learn german because you really have to memorise them all.
articles are by no means random
That's what my teacher told me.
are you talking about genders by any chance
I don't think so.
She said something like: "Die Artikel sind im Deutschen komplett willkürlich, es gibt keine Regeln für sie, das ist warum sie so schwierig sind für Menschen die Deutsch lernen müssen als nicht Muttersprachler."
And it's also like that in our books.
as a fellow german teacher, no
please name one occurrence where the article for masc singular gentive is not des
I don't think that's what relaxo means. More like it's random that it happens to be des in the first place
well, he's either talking about the declension and direct relation of articles to its respective objects or genders
in regard to the latter I do agree. The assignment of these is mostly random and can only be deduced through sparse rules that may or may not apply in the given field
Yeah. I'm pretty sure that's what I mean.
I'm not too familiar with all the technical terms.
fair enough. I just wanted to avoid any confusion for learners who might read this
@carmine canopy youre a german teacher? 👀

Hey, Leute
im about to go away from wifi for a trip what resources would be good to download for beginners?
lots of reading material and audio like podcasts, assuming you already have an offline dictionary of some kind. If you're a complete beginner though I'd just procure a textbook to read through, since it'll explain the grammar in addition to providing vocab
@sand marten can you recommend a good podcast?
hmm for beginners there's SlowGerman or Langsam gesprochene Nachrichten by DW
^
I usually listen to SWR2 Wissen but that's quite advanced I would say, there's also various people interviewed from wherever which means you'd need to understand many accents
I listen to WDR 5
including ones very different from hochdeutsch like heavy swiss accents or austrian
yeah WDR 5 is mainly hochdeutsch
or foreign researchers speaking german which of course depends on the person
Hallo. Ich wollte wissen ob jemand gute Empfehlungen für Zeitschriften hat.
Zum Beispiel Zeitschriften die eine Übersicht über den letzen Monat anbieten (politisch zuerst, dann allgemein).
Zur Zeit ich weiß "Stern" oder die Zeit. Beide sind aber wöchentlich (besser als täglich)
ich lese tagesschau.de, manchmal dw.de und der spiegel
Ich lese der Tagesspiegel und ich schaue die Tagesschau. Das Problem ist dass beide, obwohl nicht schlecht, sind zu viel am Tag verbunden. Ich habe nicht so viel Zeit so ich wollte gerne eine Zusammenfassung.
achso hmm
Ok dw.de hat themen. Nicht schlecht
Ich habe gedacht dass der war nur auf Englisch
ich kenne nichts, das sowas macht. Dw hat aber ein "top thema mit vokabeln"
außerdem wenn du keine Zeit fürs Lesen hast, kannst du vielleicht die Nachrichten in Podcast-Form anhören
Und tagesschau.de hat Dossiers. Genau was ich brauche. Auch wenn sie nicht über den letzen Monat sind, passt
Danke 💙
Danke für die Info und die Podcasts. Ich habe kurz Zeit für lesen (ich lese gerne und ich brauche Zeit das deutsch zu verdauen). Nur ich kann nicht allein eine Übersicht machen über die letzen Wochen/ der letzte Monat
Deshalb ich wollte gerne jemand dass das für mich macht.
Dossiers von der Tagesschau.de und Themen von dw.de vielleicht Helfen. Ich werde sie probieren
If i made a plugin for keyboards
that when you type in a noun
in the autocorrect bar it has the gender in brackets next to it
woudl that be counter productive?
so you type in like "Ich gehe an den Stra.."
and then in the autocorrect bar on your phone it has "Strand (m)". Would that be counter productive for learning?
probably
if it corrected you afterwards, perhaps not, or if it collected stats for things you got wrong and then created flashcards or sth
but just like that, I would assume so
it allows you not to worry about it
that, or you develop an instinct to ignore useless information, as the brain normally does
people in asia are gradually forgetting how to handwrite ideograms because they only see and write them via keyboards
they can still recognise them and know what they need when they want to write something, but if they were to handwrite them they'd find it hard (unless they're still in school or need to handwrite often ofc).
The mind tends to delete everything unnecessary and noisy. I don't think one would pay attention to hints of the kind you propose in a context where you just want to write your thoughts out - they are already faster than the fingers, imagine if we were to also add some pause between each word to confirm whether the gender of a word was what we had thought
in summa: many spell checkers can check grammar too nowadays. One would be better off using one of those instead
If you plan to use spoken German than you don't have any autocorrect then
remember, VERBIX is your best friend.
Hi everyone. I have wrote a terminal program to auto query a lists of german nouns' genders and plurals. Here is the preview: https://youtu.be/UmCziwWRopY

Hallo. Außer Reddit oder diese Chat, gibt es große Forums online auf deutsch? Mit interessanten Untersektionen?
@gusty copper just a quick hint: your code probably won't work for anyone else, since you hardcoded paths from your machine 😉
Ich frage nochmal.

@hasty sparrow nicht, dass ich wüsste
@carmine canopy Danke. Jemand anderes hat Idee?
What are good apps/sites for verb conjunctions
I usually use verbix and wiktionary. But there are a lot of options out there.
Assuming you mean verb conjugations.
verbix, reverso conjugator, dict.leo.org
One more vote for Wiktionary and Duden

does anyone knows or has good anki cards for beginners?
I've tried a couple of the sets on the website, but just ended up making my own by added the new things I've learnt each lesson
Helps re-enforce my lessons and keep it focused
There's a "4000 words" deck at ankiweb, I started with that one, but adjusted it to my needs
^
we should make an Anki deck as collective task
Can someone help me? I took a quick little online placement test at the Goethe Institute website, and I received my score, but I can't seem to find how that score fits with the European Language Framework.
@nova harbor What do you mean?
I took the test, but it didn't tell me my level.
Just the percentage of questions I got correct.
At the bottom, does it give you a recommendation for a level you should study for?
If so, the level that the test recommends is approximately one above what level you are at now.
It listed links to B1 and B2 classes.
Then likely you are A2 currently.
But remember that these kinds of tests don't necessarily test that accurately and you shouldn't rely on it or anything.
Natürlich, it was just for a bet.
Hat jemand hier ein Deutscheprüfung gemacht?
Alle Leute sind hier wahrscheinlich tot.
Wieso sollte das der Fall sein
Weil niemand hier schreibt .
Und warum haben hier die meisten Leute japanischen Namen?
Die japanischen Namen kommen noch von einem alten Witz. Hier schreibt wahrscheinlich niemand, weil es in Deutschland noch relativ früh am Morgen ist
Naja 10:48 ist jetzt nicht so besonders früh.
Aber ja die meisten Leute sind halt erst später online
Befindet sich aber noch aber in der zentralen Arbeitszeit

I'll fix it later, thank you!
anyone have any good resources to practice relative pronouns?
Not exactly what you may be looking for, but I've been reading German children's books, and they sometimes have relative pronouns. Although that is more passive learning, not active learning.
I don't have a specific resource to recommend (aside from things already in #resources) but here's an idea that might be good practice: try rewriting any main clauses you see as relative clauses.
Especially writing the same clause as different relative clauses by changing which object/subject is the relative one.

@merry isle soviel soweit
😮 ich habe da immer "soviel" benutzt 😄 danke sehr!
Hey guys. How do I even get started?
Learn about grammatical cases, noun genders, pronouns, and present tense verb conjugation.
Ok. Will start. Thanks for your suggestion.
Np. And it's always useful to learn things like greetings and other common stuff.
Makes sense.

Hi guys,
I'm entirely new to German. I am hoping to study almost everyday for about an hour doing a lesson each of Assimil and Pimsleur.
Is that a good mix of resources to familiarise myself with basics? Would Lingvist/Duolingo be good additions?
I have Anki and am making cards out of all new words and phrases I come across.

Wow that's amazing, thank you.
I think Duolingo is the best of the "free language learning" apps, at least for German, though I'm biased because it's the only one I've used at length
Best, from a sample size of 1? 😉
@plush kindle whats wrong with duolingo?
I don't like to claim that resources like Duolingo are good or bad; they can be useful as a supplement to other forms of learning. I was more just poking fun at calling out a best app, from a sample of one person, and a sample of 1 language learning system.
i may or may not be only using duolingo at the current time (apart from flashcard systems) 😂 i know theres a recourse list but what recourses do you use to learn German?
I won't claim that my method is better or worse than what you're doing right now. I like to read books appropriate for my current level, make sure I know why something was written the way it was, and then couple it with passive listening to german radio, narrating the books I read, and forming sentences that describe what I'm doing or what I've done.
And then, of course, come back here when I hit something that doesn't make sense to me, or verify that I understand a concept correctly.
ahhh okay i hope i dont come off rude or anything 😂 i just get lost with recourse lists and i never know where to start
thats probably why ive only been using duolingo
I have a personal philosophy that a single-source system will not work for me. But I don't have data to confirm that or not.
And I imagine that my strategy will change when I have a solid foundation on fundamentals. How I study, versus how the B and C students on here study, is probably very different.
im very beginner like just under A if thats possible bahaha
Worst case, if you absolutely don't know where to start, pull out the Goethe vocab list for your target goal, and focus around the words and concepts that you need.
I consider myself around A level, just as a FYI. B/C/Natives may have better advice than me.
ahhh alright any advice is great
This is purely anecdotal, but I have a co-worker learning French with Duolingo. While everybody is different, he didn't seem to have the competence/confidence to form a sentence. Granted I don't know French, but he couldn't respond to a surface level question in French.
yes Duolingo isnt good on grammer but more for learning vocab and given you a starting place
So my advice would be to be confident in yourself when practicing, while being respectful and responsive to corrections.
yes im always happy to be corrected no other way to succeed
Sometimes I just watch some of the conversations in learning and writing, to see if my ideas of certain things line up with the consensus in chat.
And if they don't, I'll ask a question or see if I can correct my previous assumptions.
ahhh thats a good idea
Duolingo is good for cramming some basic patterns into your head, in the stage when you're not advanced enough to coverse or read more complex materials. It's mediocre for words and largely bad at explaining the grammar.
It shouldn't be your only learning method, but may be pretty helpful in connection with a bunch of others

Omg I wrote here

This is a childrens news paper in german
it has daily news and it's really good for new german learners to get a idea of how people speak on a daily basis
My favorite YouTube channel for German Lessons
What a good app for the phone for German around a2 level?
switch menu language 😃
anki?
I just use a flashcard app for words I dont know
its come to a point in day-to-day life I just dont know the words to say 🤷
I'd really suggest after getting a hang on your grammatik to download one and add everything thats new or that you dont know
what flashcard app do you recommend
If you can find a good deck (or enjoy making your own), anki is the way to go
it's by far the most customizable
I use brainscape but I've really only tried one other 🤷
Anki's really a good app~ I'd recommend it as well.
could i get any suggestions for a possible 1 to 1 german teacher via skype or something of the sort?
does anyone know of free bilingual children's books? the bilingual books i've been able to find are above my reading level
I found this site before, but can't vouch for it - http://www.childrensbooksforever.com/childrenpages/German1.html
I've read some of those. I don't know what would be required for vouching. But I confirm A) They are children's books B) You can download it for free
Also varying level of difficulty. "Der großer Wettkampf" for example is a harder read than "Alle meine Farben"
I guess they also aren't bilingual like they were asking (having both English and German) on the same page, but hopefully they are easy enough for understanding and through pictures comprehension.
hallo Leute , hat jemand etwas onSET Beispiele oder Erfahrungen gemacht ?
@nimble surge LOL. I should've read up. I see. Yeah NOT bilingual.
nice books, quite light to read. also bonus points because the first one I opened had 'schüttelte den Kopf' 😄
Is it a bad idea to use children's books as a resource?
Ich empfehle auch Wiktionary und den wrapper "Deutsch Wörterbuch" auf Android
Das hier
@snow matrix If it works, why should it be bad?
A better way to phrase my question would be are they a good resource :)
at the beginning, yes they are. The vocabulary is very light which means you probably won't have to look up every single word, meaning you can focus on examining the grammar and figuring out how everything is used and why certain things look the way they do as a whole
are you asking for permission? 😅
Yes haha.
sure, do it. Just eb sure to regularly weed out cards for stuff you find useless
in my opinion, spaced repetition systems become less useful once you reach a level when you can just peruse the literature in the target language
I would outright eliminate the cards for words i'm sure i memorised
Well, I can't argue with that wrt common words, but I'd say spaced repetition is still great for building up vocab and, so to say, 'feeling' for the basics?
well, at least it works for me so far.
And it's easier to use while commuting, compared to, say, textbooks. Exercises there are kinda hard to do on the move.
hey can someone recommend me a resource for learning grammar
i use duolingo but its not enough
there's a resource list linked at the top
oh under pinned messages?
about SRS, I have tried it in the past and it was mostly a waste of time, but this is certainly subjective. In general though, I'd use it to "prepare" terms that I don't yet know, then gradually remove those and replace them with new ones. Sort of a lengthy rite of passage for vocab as I expand it
yes
ill look into it, thanks, also do you have any recommendations from there?
Basic German might be a good start for you.
i know nothing more than basic conjugation
of resources that cover those topics?

Simple but good stories to read.... Any recommendations ?
Not really stories, but I can recommend to read Deutsch Perfekt magazine? There are articles for all levels there. I like it so far. You can have a free copy for couple of hours from e-library of the Goethe Institute.
Okay great, thank you so much

I don't own the files though, some learning German facebook group made this.
Just make sure it won't affect you legally, I don't know how pirating work outside outside 3rd world, that's why I was asking cuz it might be a threat for the admins or people who download if they're living in Germany or so could get sued
Pirating technically yes is illegal but really you're not gonna get caught unless you start selling off pirated content
So many people do it they can't really crack down on it
So you're good
nice
in general i think people care more about the profits so if you're just dling for private use it's like w/e
and not like selling it on the side or w/e if that makes any sense
A lot of people use VPNs to make it harder to trace it back to them and some ISPs might send you warning letters but I've always been fine just pirating shit with no VPN or anything
Yeah exactly what @carmine canopy is saying
Bottom line is pirating will be fine if you don't try to profit from it
And as long as it's not some shit like child porn or smth
well then that's not rly pirating
true i suppose

does anyone have any german exercise books on grammar to recommend
Starten wir! is decent
@sand marten what level is Starten Wir for? I'm around A2 atm
iirc there's various levels. I think the one I have back home is supposed to bring you from 0 to A2
hello, everyone. i wanna start learning german in a systematic way. do you guys have any recommendation on where do i start?
i mean, i know there's resource. but there are a bunch of it
which book should i start with?
any recommendation will be much appreciated
thankss!!
you could start with one which covers all, that is 1. explains how to read and pronounce correctly, 2. teaches you the grammar, 3. teaches you the vocab you need to get going, 4. has exercises for reading, speaking, listening and writing
i don't have any specific recommendation as I haven't personally tried many but that's generally what you want to look for. Textbooks give you a defined path to follow from start to end and that's the best way to begin; afterwards you will likely end up knowing what you still need to learn
so any "beginner" textbooks will work right?
as long as it's good. As for the correctness of the information you obviously have no way of knowing as a beginner, but you can judge based on whether a book follows the points i mentioned above and on how well things are explained ( = how easily you understand them)
if for some reason that doesn't work for you, the way I start when learning a language is learning orthography and phonology, then I move on to grammar and vocab going from the essentials to ever more complex stuff. But that's not very systematic per se as it leaves a lot of work for you personally to do and plan
well thank you so much for that. have a good day Serki!
hopefully i'll be fluent in a year or two LOL.
Other than a text book, feel free to also just get a list of topics for the level you're at (A1 for example) and research each topic individually.
Makes notes and so on.
It's not too difficult or time consuming to do it that way.
https://www.mezzoguild.com/19-dont-dos-learning-a-language/
^ Very good tips for beginners!!
Most of them are common sense, but I disagree on the grammar one. Too many students go too far the other way, avoiding to study grammar at all costs. But not only is it the only thing that can actually explain you why some things are what they are (and thus help your memory - it's easier to learn things that make sense), studying some grammar also stops you from learning wrong patterns, clears up confusion, and allows you to actually discuss your mistakes and thus learn from them.
No, studying grammar will not make you fluent on its own. And it may not even be necessaey to become fluent. But ignoring it is ignorance, and likely slows you down
this is the pdf i've been referring to for about 6 months. it explains it a little differently than most textbooks i think, maybe it works better for you? there are also accompanying youtube videos
ever wanted to know the details between random words really in depth? I've compiled of all @carmine canopy 's docs ^
lol
I think it would be of great value if you added the outstanding online library of the Goethe Institut to the resources list: http://www2.onleihe.de/goethe-institut/frontend/mediaList,0-34994772-0-101-0-0-0-0-0-0-0.html

seems like an awfully inefficient project when things like forvo (which has higher variety), tatoeba (which has example sentences) and dictionaries with audio (which have formal correctness) exist
but I don't want to detract from it because of that. I'm just thinking from the perspective of the user

@pure bolt which Deutsche welle course would you recommend the most?,
Which one did you use?
Currently I am using Nicos weg
Gives a better impression/idea to hear from other people who use deutschwelle that's y I asked
@pure bolt
I don't use it as much as my teacher does to test me because daf/Goethe does the same with learning
Ah danke

I love it, Khalid.
arguably not a "resource" but I found most of what is said here reflects what I have found most effective during my learning experience(s), and it's nice to have it all in one uninterrupted discourse:

I'm wondering, is there an app that you can download where you open your camera and point it at an object and it tells you in German what the object is?
Like when youre a child learning how to talk your parent would point to something and say what ita called...is that a thing to learn another language?

That would be a cool app
cool fact: Deep L translator is made by a german company
@gusty dust If you have an android phone, you could try setting your phone language to german and using Google Lens
Oh I do! Thank you
@gusty dust tell us how it goes with the google lens thing.
I will 😊
Thanks. You guys are awesome
This app looks like its going to be pretty good. Thanks
The only issue with deepl compared to Google Translate is there is no option to hear the word being said
you can use forvo for that
which is generally better since it's real people speaking, and you can compare how different natives say a word
So, use deepl for translation and forvo to heat it? I just don't know what forvo is
just go to forvo.com and have a look :P
native speakers record themselves reading words in various languages
Oh nice
but in general I would advise against translating, be it deepl or whatever else.
What do you mean? If I see a word I don't recoginze, why wouldn't I translate it to know what it means
because you should rather look it up in a dictionary. Raw translation ignores the very important fact that languages don't map 1:1 with each other. There are words that are translated in several different ways from a to b or be unambiguous in a but have several omonyms in b. Translating flattens all this and gives you one word for one word, and you'll have no idea on whether that's really what you're looking for
Oh I see. Okay thanks for the tip
👍
sometimes there aren't enough good samples though unfortunately. It's good to know alternatives
(for example: alternative to dict.cc itself is leo dict)
I have a few resources saved to compare
Idk if this is the right place to ask but anyone know of any german podcasts apart from trhe Coffee Break ones? I'm currently at a B1.1 level btw
Imo, no other podcast was nearly as good as Cofee Break german. Have you thought about listenting to story books and stuff instead for your audio learning ?
From where can one obtain said audios of story books
There was one on Spotify where they talked about different topics each week
Cant remember what it was called tho
Start learning German with videos and interactive excercises
Thanks for all the links/recommendations guys!
i would suggest this course https://learngerman.dw.com/en/beginners/c-36519789
Start learning German with videos and interactive excercises
they also have an A0 course for letters and numbers.
and use a grammer book too. i dont use one that much tho, only just to make sure everthing was covered in the course. if i feel weak in anything only then i use the grammer book.

Hi does anyone know if there are German cartoon with English subs like teen titans ect
Might not be quite what you're looking for but Netflix originals usually have dubs and subs in a bunch of languages
Idk about cartoons on Netflix but I watched a few shows in German dub English sub
I had to set my Netflix account language to German to get to the German options tho
Thank you ill check it out, how much german can you speak. I've really only started so don't know if it worth watching like shows, kinda wanted to watch cartoons as basic German.
Ye I getcha
My Germans not the best and speaking it is a whole diff practice from watching shows
But watching shows helps the German to flow easier
I was thinking about playing german pokemon on a german website then getting the same episode on an english site where they have english subs.
I find
Ah alright sounds good like I did a bit of german 6 months ago on skillshare but I have switched to babble
Ye I think Netflix has a kids option as well if that's more what you're looking for lel
Oh yeah tbh forgot netflix had a whole kid section lol
I turned my phone and computer into german and now everything i see is in german
So everything i dont understand i search it and learn
That sounds pretty good, do you learn german daily or how do you go about it?
I take some lessons sometimes and most of the time learn my own searching how to say different things/ watching grammar videos and normal videos in german
Till i start going to a serious german academy next year, i‘ll practice like that
Cool, I'm trying to surround myself with like german music and like german csgo videos
Yeah I watched a video on a guy who learned like a language in a month, he surrounded himself in everything from music to stickers on his fridge saying what it is in german.
Well i can tell thats impossible (at least for me)
I don't plan on learning it in a month as I wouldn't say I'm that smart or wanna put that much time into it
If you have more stuff and studies going around that will not be possible
Like im trying to do 45min to and hour each day
If you want to learn german in month thats probably the only thing youre gonna do apart from eating and sleeping lol
In a month*
Yeah literally, tbh I could as I don't have much to do rn whilst im looking for a job but its a lot to do.
Also us brits are not known for knowing more than one language, we expect everyone to know english
Yeah I'm thinking like 45 mins a day of like learning and then when im chilling or in bed put some german music on or tv show
Thats really good
If youre really interested in german its also gonna be easier and faster than you expect
Atm I'm trying to get in a good routine as normally I play games all night sleep through the morning, but I want to wake up early get my german done and other stuff and have thw whole day ahead of me
I learnt english like that in 2 years
Nice, where are you from if you dont mind me asking?
And with german im learning more in 1 month that i did woth english in 3 lol
Spain
People here dont usually like learning
Tbh
Nice, Im actually quarter spanish
Oh cool
I use to goto Alicante every year
Yeah nice place
Yeah really nice, haven't been in like 10 years though use to be like a family holiday thing but then I got kinda too old for it.

Hello, anyone here who has done the LINGODA German marathon, or is thinking about doing it?
Dude actually I was thinking about doing the lingoda marathon too
What do you guys think? It's like 200 bucks, and I'm not sure that I can make it through...
Maybe you guys will find better reviews at reddit or quora, best of luck
@coarse siren I'm thinking about doing it too, but it sounds kinda risky... you miss a lesson and BAM no refund :(
well but thats what I call a motivation though
bigger concern for me is if its worth the effort
if the lessons are good enough
i dont think its that much difficult to at least to do the half marathon if youre really commited
i think you definitely gonna attend it all if thats much money is on the line
For me it's kinda hard because I don't have a very regular schedule, I wish you could do like
2 lessons one day and none the next, for exemple
And yeah also how good are the lessons
i think that would make it harder for you to actually stick to it
but I've heard generally good things about Lingoda
i mean, its not for a casual learner i guess
Well for me it would make it easier but I see what you mean
but if you really want to improve in a short period, thats the kind of challenge you should do, but im concerned about the quality7
building a routine is definately helpful
yes
for me its concerning that I'm in college and I still have a hard exam in early february, so i dotn know if i can make it
but im definitely considering it
yeah I'm still considering too
lets do it 😄
haha
My worry is that I know I'll have some busy days and some days traveling accross the atlantic
so unless I can do it at the airport it's gonna be really hard haha
i see
but I'm still figuring out, it might be possible
but i heard you have a lor of flexibility in scheduling the lessons, so it might be possilble
I see
I think you can only cancel until 7 days before your lesson
I read that somewhere, maybe reddit
hmm, that doesnt seem so flexible at all 😄

Has anyone got any good recommendations for a vocabulary improvement app on Android?
Memrise Top 5000 words is pretty good. @cedar cairn
I'll give that a go thanks
I don’t like Memrise, it’s way too rigid in its format. I don’t know if there are any good premade decks for it, but I vastly prefer Anki over Memrise due to the massive degree of customizability
(it’s recommendable to set it all up on PC and then sync with your phone)
I plan to try Anki when I return home.
Quick question, are there pre-made decks for Anki? @hushed silo
No official ones but you can share decks and so there's ones floating around on the internet and on their own little website
but I did just say that I don't know of any
I also don't like the way Memrise tries to sell their product so badly.
you know what I think is still really missing in the resources list?
textbooks & other resources which can actually guide you through german from 0 to (some level)
like, there’s probably everything you need in the list
but if I was a beginner and just wanted a place to start, that list would be overwhelming
there should be a section at the top with something like “if you’re a beginner, check out these to start out”
Can you give some examples of what you would put there?
well, as someone who’s not learned german as a foreign language, it’s hard to judge. but for example, I’m sure there’s textbooks that are meant to take you from 0 knowledge through the basics (e.g. Assimil, but also more traditional textbooks, or websites)
basically, a list of resources particularly suited for beginners
perhaps just go through the list and filter out things that are suitable to start out with and put them in a separate section in the beginning
wait hang on I have an example of what would be great to see
https://github.com/EngJpDiscordExchange/Awesome-Japanese/blob/master/readme.md there’s this list for Japanese
the resource list here could probably become sth like this with a bit of restructuring
a lot of the info is already here
It looks pretty similar already. We could probably add a textbook section though. That would be useful, if anyone who has used textbooks wants to recommend some.
One thing to consider though is that Japanese does tend to have resources that are more... individually comprehensive. Such as guides/textbooks that take you through the whole language in a way that's very useful to self-learners.
In my experience, it's not quite the same with German. It's much better to use a huge variety of resources.
And nearly all the resources on the German resource list are for beginners, aside from the ones labelled as higher level.
the major differences in those guides are:
(my shift key doesn’t seem to be working properly dammit, no shift enter for me I guess until I restart my pc)
-there’s a beginner’s section, telling you where to start
-there’s information about what each resource is and pictograms showing e.g. what level they’re for
-and yes, there’s some textbooks and courses listed, which si the thing I think is missing most from the list
the grammar section in particular feels rather unstructured here, there’s a lot but you don’t know what to look at because it doesn’t say what it is beyond the title
Okay, good to know.
so if you want proper constructive feedback of what I’d do:
-add a little intro section directed at absolute beginners providing some places to start
-if there’s any good comprehensive textbooks, put them in a separate section right after that
-indicate in some sense (e.g. subsections, emoji…) who resources are directed at
-give a bit more info about what each resource provides, e.g. “conjugation & declension tables”, “thorough explanation of basic grammar”, “spelling rules”…
-also sort the lists by… something. from what I can tell they’re more or less sorted by “date added”
I have the Aspekte neu B1 textbook in pdf, can i add it to the list?
Sure, link it.
just a sec and i'll upload them to google drive
Another new 2019 B2 prep book for the B2 new format, Prüfungstraining B2 ( Goethe-Zertifikat B2 - Neubearbeitung.
If anyone wants to chat about self-study courses for German let me know
I did a lot of research before I selected mine
I was at A0 when I started
Hm?
I never used discord voice chat
I noticed some people discussed different German courses in this channel
So I wanted to offer my knowledge
@coarse plover thank you. Very helpful.

Hallo @misty valve frohes Neujahr
Sicher grammar overviews from resource list aren't working, here are the working ones if you'd like to update it: https://www.hueber.de/sicher/lernen/grammatik
Thanks for letting us know 
no problemo
@hushed silo your idea being worked on? with the beginner thingo
dunno, not by me at least. I don't really know good beginner's resources myself, but if they wanted my help I could certainly try to help out with the document structure or sth
Yes and no. The mod team is working on a few things at the moment and the discussion of a potential revision of the resources list is on the to-do list.
But if anyone has recommendations for beginner stuff, feel free to share it regardless.
the links for the ösd exaaminations are all page 404
Thanks for letting us know! We'll check it out and see if we can fix it soon.
Imo r/german sub's sidebar is a good place to start with. It has a good collection of online resources.
it got changed, thank you @grave drift

I'll change it, thank you for letting us know ^^
@spiral breach may be should retry at link https://www.klett-sprachen.de/download/3977/6762060_Aussichten_A1_2_GlossarDeutsch_EB.pdf it was not working for me either yesterday. But today I was able to see pdf
Yeah, it works. This looks awesome! Thanks a million! ❤️ @hexed plaza
@spiral breach welcome
If you could find the ones for the other levels, that’d be amazing. Whenever possible for you. Please ping me with the links if you find them you find them. 😄
Sure
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
Are there Schritte vocabulary lists for levels higher than A1/A2, which is all that is shown on the list? I’d deeply appreciate it if you could find and add some to the list, I quite enjoy using them. 😄 @pure bolt
Ill see if I can find any at home dear ❤
Goethe has vocab lists too
Alright thank you so much ❤️
Oooh thank you so much, those are amazing ❤️ @grand maple
np
I'd rather recommend this, highly rated between my friends. It contains the most frequent 4000 words, the first 2000 make 80% of colloquial, and with the next 2000 added they all make up 90%.
Does anyone know of any resources that just let me read a sentence or paragraph in English and translate it into German to have it graded?
@pseudo junco language learning apps tend to do this (eg Duolingo). Or are you looking for something a little different / for longer text?
Re: textbooks and courses in the doc, the doc does already list the Deutsche Welle free online courses, but they’re buried under video materials. It might just be a matter of how the doc is organized.
Going through Nico’s Weg on DW, for example, is basically like taking an intro to German class as a self study thing. But newbies might not find it amidst all the other links even though it’s a great starting point to serve as a baseline for your learning
Something longer/less memorization-based
I've used duolingo in the past and it was OK for familiarizing myself with the basics, but now I can read/listen to German pretty well
I just can't speak it or write it at all
You can just write them and post them in #writing (for a paragraph or more) or #questions (for a sentence or two). Then it will be corrected and you can ask questions.
@@pseudo junco search for "simple english conversion" / "simple writing passages english" on google and then translate them to german
Thanks
and i get them checked here. 😃
sounds good!
got it thanks.
could anyone tell me which of the grammars is most complete?
When it comes to documenting stuff at least, I don't care about exercises too much.
scratch that I liiked hammer's introduction so Imma go through that
Hammer's is for sure the best in terms of detail, scope and ease of use (e.g. searching topics). But as a result it's very large and complex and you ought not read it in full.
Whereas most other grammar books are easy to read fully.
Können Sie mir bitte empfehlen die Kurse und Lernmitteln für B2 außerdem DW? Danke im voraus
@quasi cypress i found a B2 course on Deutsch.info
aber ich weiß es nicht, wie gut der Kurs ist.
@quasi cypress hör mal auf mit dem "Sie", das ist hier einfach fehl am Platz.
(an ressourcen kann ich dir leider nicht wirklich helfen, aber bei B2 solltest du eigentlich mit Bücher lesen und Filme schauen, und regelmässig Deutsch gebrauchen mehr Fortschritte machen, als mit Büchern)

ne leider alle apps find ich scheiße
is duolingo fine to use for grammar? Im lacking on my German a lot and my grade is showing that 😦
I wouldn't say so, reading from a book at your level and using Duolingo to the side will be of more help
As well as actually using the grammar in speaking or writing
Alright. I been learning german in high school for 4 years and i feel like i have learned nothing man :/
Yeah that happens often
You just need to expose yourself consistently
It falls into place in time 
it feels like everyone who studied languages in school went through the same experience and feeling of not being able to say or do anything. me included
I could learn English at my school
If anyone need it, it helped me a lot.
@sly tusk I'm guessing you also used English outside of lessons
(was it ever decent? 👀 )
It's probably why you learnt it :')
Maybe not @sand marten I was young ok? Lol
@pure bolt maybe, but my school also made a good base tho

i think its better if u dived into reading after a2 @toxic gale ...... at this ppoint u will be searcing for vocab every second word
Yeah I figured thanks @grand maple
ik its an imperative tho

For conjugating verbs!
Pretty good for irregular verbs. Better for languages like the romance with more tenses

@tiny skiff I can definitely recommend any of the Deutsche Welle Podcasts, they’re great. If you’ve got an Apple device, just go onto your Podcasts app and search it up. If not, search it up on the web. I can also definitely recommend Slow German mit Annik Rubens and Coffee Break German. As far as sites go, YouTube is your best bet, offering absolute gems like Easy German. A great channel with awesome hosts who provide videos about interesting topics twice weekly! I love it.

what would be an ideal textbook for someone completely new to german?
check the resources list, there might be something for that
also do >faq beginners in #botchannel
what type of resource is this loll

I mean this is harmless but still ^^
@torpid dome No advertising please. Thanks.
Hello. I'm searching for books in deutsch that will help me improve my language overall. Any kind of fantasy, or just a simple novel would be appreciated. I don't want to read books for kids, need something a little bit more challenging. Currently on A2/B1 level. Please ping me with the recommendations and thank you in advance <3 🇩🇪
I'm reading a book called 'short stories in German' by Olly Richards and it is great. It has a bunch of short stories that are fun to read and at the end of each one it has summaries and definitions of the more difficult words
It has helped me a lot!
@carmine canopy
oh yea @toxic gale Le Petit Prince is a great book, translated into so many languages!
@tight perch I just finished it a few weeks ago and I also recommend it ! It made me do a lot of progress
@carmine canopy I am currently reading (or trying to) die Verwandlung from Kafka. It's challenging (for me at least, as it is my first real book in German), but the sentences are rather short and simple. The story is very absurd and I like it so far :)
Also, read aiming to understand the global meaning, rather than each individual word. Only look up for a few key words that you feel like you need to know to actually understand what's going on. That's the best advice I've been given and it makes the reading experience much less frustrating, so I end up reading more often and making more progress :)
Easy things to know:
Words ending in "heit" or "keit" - always die
Words ending in -er are normally masculine, words ending in -e are normally feminine
But not always, ie der Junge, das Fenster
What can I do to add something in the resources list?
Just add it 😄 @void lodge
thwy can't...
you post it here as a suggestion
🤔 but the site works so that you don’t search in the chat to make it easy
The resource list is curated. That means we want to make sure the resources are good before we add them. If you think something should be added, you can tell us and we will add it if we think it's suitable.

@carmine canopy hast du den Test schon gemacht?
8500, hast du ihn auch gemacht? 👀 @stiff cedar
ja 👀
aber 8500 ist nicht shclecht
soweit ich weiß ist C1 ungefähr 10000? kann sein dass ich mich täusche
Joa, ungefähr 10k, ich muss mehr Wörter lernen D:
Und wie viele Wörter hast du? :o
26500, ist das viel? Ich denke mein Hintergrund von romanischen Sprachen hat das Ergebnis eh viel gefälscht x)
Es gab auch viele Wörter aus Medizin, was ich aufgrund meiner Familie kenne, und oft aus Griechisch stemmen, was sie für mich ganz verstehbar macht, auch wenn ich sie vielleicht noch nie auf Deutsch gesehen hatte
ich denke auch, dass da zu viele Wörter aus Medizin usw. waren 🤔
yeah but as i said, i dunno if i should trust it
i have been told that my way of speaking sounds quite "gehoben" but I don't think I can really help it xD
Damn berzi

i mean, almost all the words i scored in the second page are basically identical in the other languages I speak, only with an additional vowel. Surely that's cheating
You could try doing it again 👀
does it pick different words?
It does but I’m not sure to what extent
22500 this time
That’s still amazing

but i can notice a serious lack of "pure" German words in my vocab, as opposed to latin/greek ones. Also of course whatever they estimate, it's only going to be passive vocabulary
which is quite a bit easier than the active counterpart since context alone can help immensely
(granted, they don't give any context here, but still there are many words that you'd never think of, but can intuit the meaning of immediately if you see them)
Yes.
@rich violet arc, could you do the test above? 👀
the wortschatz one?
Mhm 👀
Surprising when you also speak italian :o thanks arc!
np
yeah its not really aussagekräftig
Ephie got above 50k wtfffff
15800
Ich behaupte aber, in der Wirklichkeit kenne ich nicht mehr als 6-7k
Der Test ist ergo leider nicht so gut, mMn
ja, but it would be nice to know them ☺
~~sure if you want to learn some random medical or antiquated terms 👀 ~~
warum nicht 
@carmine canopy well, Arc's had a much different experience with Italian than me, I dare say
Hmmm true 
hrmmm, could be better i spose >_>
half of words on second page are, like
not even german, they are testing knowledge of Latin or whatnot half the time 😄
zb, Kurie oder Epistemologie
congrats on becoming native yall
native
Schöne Pleite.
haha yea thats the problem, but german uses many latin words in "higher language"
alle Europäische Sprachen nutzen viele lateinische Worte für Hochsprache, ja
I hate using those words because it feels like I'm speaking a soft version of English. can't really explain it haha
sounds like french or something, feels yuck
i mean there are no german alternatives for some of these like Epistemologie so you really have no choice xD
it doesn't feel yuck to me, not in english nor german or whatever
as Cynic says, there's really no alternative, and those words are part of the language as much as the "original" ones (whatever that means). As long as you're careful using them as the natives would, instead of how you'd use the french/italian/spanish/etc equivalent, it's perfectly ok
i like latin words as well, and it was the same with the english vocab test i took :D i remember words like uxoricide lol
Might seem like an odd request
But dutche weile has just broken for me won't let me play any of their videos is there any site that host their videos?
i think that would be illegal so i doubt u would find any videos on any other website. is DW blocked in ur country? try using a vpn
can anyone recommend a workbook for a1 german
Starten wir! A1
it's monolingual in German but well, it's A1
all the instructions are in German as well, but the examples tell you what to do visually
it's better than having things explained cross-language imo
True and anything you don't understand you can always ask about here.

@pure bolt repost :::////
schön wie die Heute als erste österreichische Zeitung genannt wird
Heute finde ich ehrlich gesagt komisch 😏
Vielleicht ist das noch nicht Bild, geht aber etwas in die Richtung...
Die Bild müllt wenigstens keine Ubahnen zu
Ist das kostenlos? 😮
jap
Ich hab das bisher nur im Internet gesehen
ein paar mal was gelesen
und ehrlich gesagt, beeindruckt war ich nicht so sehr
https://derstandard.at ist auch ganz gut
DER STANDARD – Nachrichten in Echtzeit: Lesen Sie jetzt Nachrichten aktuell aus dem online News-Room der führenden Qualitätszeitung in Österreich
Gehts um Zeitungen oder generell Nachrichtenquellen?
kA, ist vorhin erwähnte Tagesschau eine Zeitung?
Die Tagesschau veröffentlicht auch Artikel
ich glaube, es geht um Nachrichtenquellen
news.ORF.at: Die aktuellsten Nachrichten auf einen Blick - aus Österreich und der ganzen Welt. In Text, Bild und Video.
da gibt's interessante Artikel
meiner Meinung nach
wobei stimmt ja das macht das orf auch
@copper thunder I don't know about Udemy, but a look in here https://goo.gl/ntXqi7 might help out.
