Autohotkey is an application that interprets the script
kinda like Python
You double click the file and AHK runs it until you turn your computer off or tell it to stop

You can configure it to do Alt+o = ulmaute o

Alt + anything normally won't type anything, so it doesn't break anything

if you add the script to the startup folder, then it will always be on from startup

[normal moth]

Awesome, thank you so much @carmine canopy. Great information!

[carmine canopy]

You're welcome 🙂

I know the pain, only it's worse for me as I'm using Linux

haven't found as easy a way to do that here yet ; (

[normal moth]

Oi, Linux. Kudos to you. Even as an IT nerd, I can't stand it. Lol.

This autohotkey thing is great. I just wrote Tschüss and that made life so easy.

[carmine canopy]

nice xD

I'm using kubuntu and it's pretty good

modern interface and easy to use for programming

I'd need to get a second os with windows though

for adobe programs

[normal moth]

Ah, not big into programming. I do a lot with web code, not so much with software code (thank god...)

[gilded pelican]

@carmine canopy don't know whag ubuntu supports exactly, I've put shift+capslock to change keyboard layouts and I switch between hr-us (which is basically us but can access croatian letters on altgr) and de
I saw bunch of de keyboards, maybe there's some combo that has umlauts on altgr

Or check dead keys and stuff like that, I think alt or altgr + " + a can produce ä
Or some keybinding like that

I just found it easier to switch whole keyboards than find new keybinding since altgr eas already used for croatian letters in my case

I use fedora with xfce, and xfce is rudimentary, so if it is available there, it definitely should be on bigger DEs in some form
Dig around :)

[carmine canopy]

are you talking about compose key ?

that s different and frankly tiresome to use

I think there is a way to make Alt plus letter make ulmaut

eg like shift plus letter makes uppercase

you d need to edit system files with key mappings for that

there was a stackoverflow answer for that

https://askubuntu.com/questions/1084836/german-umlaut-with-windows-key-a-o-u-s/1085560

[gilded pelican]

@carmine canopy I forgot the name, but could be
However I haven't looked more into it since switching keyboards works perfectly in my case

For this us-croatian combo I just need altgr and hit the key, then instead of [ I get š and similar
Really nothing cumbersome

[carmine canopy]

nah it is tiresome for me

the simplest way is 2 keys pressed together

and i d take nothing less xD

especially as windows users easily get that functionality

maybe one day i ll have enough rep and time

to maybe make SO bounty qs

so that some linux guru answers with tutorial on how to do it

[gilded pelican]

Hihi, that's the way as well

Just to be clear, when I write in German I switch keyboard until I'm done, not just per letter
Brain mapping works 😂

[misty valve]

I'd disagree about ignoring grammar being impossible. That approach worked pretty well for me when I was learning English.
@carmine canopy
But German is not English. Many people have been successful learning English this way, but in my experience, I have met pretty much no one who has been successful with this in German. Most people who try it just end up making the whole thing much more difficult for themselves.

[carmine canopy]

It's been quite helpful to me. Let's agree to disagree 🙂

[gilded pelican]

@misty valve I know people who learned German that passive way, but I don't know how good their German is (pronunciation is rough, my ears hurt 😂), nor how long it took them. Years or decades maybe. However they say that they don't know to write properly even if they watch TV, read newspapers and communicate about everyday things for most of their life.

So I'd say it depends how good you need it to be and how fast you wanna get there.

[carmine canopy]

Personally I learn German as a form of therapy/unwinding xD

so not in any rush

If I were I think i'd just hire a tutor

with private tutor one could reach Intermediate/Upper-Intermediate lvl in about a year I think

[misty valve]

@gilded pelican Somewhat, yeah, but there are 3 main issues:

1. People who learn that way very often have awkward and broken German, which I assume most people don't aspire to
2. Developing bad grammatical habits (e.g. ignoring gender) early on can be incredibly hard to fix later
3. A lot of people simply never get that far in the first place because they don't have enough immersion to learn anything - even a lot of people who live in German speaking countries don't pick up the language despite living there a long time

[carmine canopy]

I guess it's a personal decision. It's not as if there's a learning police that d arrest you if you are learning 'wrong'. And for those who have already learnt a foreign language before they would know what to look out for and what's the best way for them to proceed

[misty valve]

You can call it a "personal decision" if you want. But as a moderator on this server, it's important to me to make sure all learners are aware of harmful mistakes they are at risk of making. This is one of the most harmful mistakes people make or consider.

[carmine canopy]

that's kinda dogmatic

it certainly wasn't a harmful mistake for me

and I have little issues finding german content to consume

be it songs books or tv shows

[misty valve]

And for those who have already learnt a foreign language before they would know what to look out for and what's the best way for them to proceed
This is also not quite true in this example. Because many people's first language was English, and as I said earlier, it isn't necessarily harmful when learning English. With German, it is.

[carmine canopy]

If you say so. In the end everyone 'd pick a way they are most comfortable with and the first time learners would find the best way for them sooner or later

[gilded pelican]

@misty valve I agree with you. Just wanted to say that I know some. They are used to get help from others for complex matters though.

However they moved here like 50 years ago or something, it's not that they had other options, and too poor/ without time to take classes

I wouldn't recommend anyone in this day and age to go through that route

I belive their German is broken, mine was non existent back then when I met them so I only can judge what they said, and they rated themselves poor

@carmine canopy I don't agree with you that passive way is the best way for anyone to learn German in order to be able to use it

However I do agree that it could be enough to be able to understand German media from the context

Or thinking that you understand it eg if you don't know about separable verbs and doing word by word translation, it could be very very frustrating to figure out the real meaning

I wouldn't recommend that to my worst enemy though 😂

[carmine canopy]

I didn't say it's the best way. I think it's worth doing and it helps achieve progress. You can't go without active learning and active learning would speed things up a lot, but you can learn a lot passively too

idk I started out with english by listening to audiobooks (Harry Potter) and at first didn't even understand what chapter I'm on

[gilded pelican]

I think best is to combine, especially after you tackle B1

[carmine canopy]

and I think it was a phase transition of sorts

i didn't understand until i suddenly did

and then many phrases stuck with me and i started actively using them

and then modifying them but keeping the same structure

and i mean it's obvious that if you want to learn a language you would need to write, talk it yourself

so it's not as if it's an option not to do active learning

so obviously you'd end up with a combination

[gilded pelican]

And you never heard tiny bit of English grammar eg in school before you started with Harry Potter?

[carmine canopy]

oh i had some english at school and was probably elementary or something

it wasnt of much help

as i didnt understand stuff

[gilded pelican]

Oh you're wrong about that.
I mean, that stuff on its own isn't worth anything. But you're brain remembered something and build onto that when you started with book

[carmine canopy]

no lol

i dont know how they do it

but somehow schools manage to spend hours and not teaching students much

at least such was my experience

with school (yo - 17 yo)

probably taught me words like cat dog apple

aint much help when you listen harry potter

[gilded pelican]

I know, I was in one. Considered my myself utterly stupid for English

[carmine canopy]

yeah

i ended up eventually getting a private tutor for a year

that helped a lot

lvl uped to intermediate

[gilded pelican]

However, that grammar exposure leaves trace

[carmine canopy]

and from then it was just a matter of practicing

[gilded pelican]

It was. However I belive that now you can see that recommendation of 'just read books it'll come to you' isn't quite right for someone who never touched the grammar of since language

Since not even you managed to learn English by media only

After learning one language, second one could be easier though
That's why it might work better for you now for German

And since you're here, I think you cannot avoid being exposed to grammar 😂 you're doomed 😂

[carmine canopy]

I only told them passive learning is helpful

and they can reach a certain level by passive learning only

anyways it's pointless to argue

who cares anyways xD

if they see something doesn't work

they'll change strategies

won't know until you try and can't live 100% by other people's advices and experiences

and yeah now i certainly know what i need to do for german

as for grammar just grinding through 20-50 exercises on each grammar rule was very helpful to me

there was one very good textbook that was 80% grammar tasks and 20% tl;dr theory

[queen iron]

What was the textbook?

[carmine canopy]

@queen iron https://uchportfolio.ru/public_files/1242518103.pdf

russian since it's my first lang

and it's the english one

sorry should have been more clear

was the closest I could find for german

https://www.amazon.com/Schaums-Outline-German-Grammar-Outlines/dp/0071824707

Can send you a .pdf in PM if you need

[queen iron]

Thank you so much!

[bright trench]

@misty valve I started setting up Anki and remembered that I don't actually have a list of A1 words. I've looked up at resources list, and there's two lists but they lack translations and plural. Seems like a lot of work to translate each one, find a plural and etc.

Is there a good list of already translated words?

[bright trench]

Nevermind, found some else's deck online. That'll work, seems pretty good.

[misty valve]

@bright trench You're meant to build up your own list slowly over time. That's the point.

Using someone else's deck kinda defeats the purpose.

[bright trench]

But this way I'm guaranteed to learn A1 specific vocab?

I think the one I found is Goethe's.

[misty valve]

Well, it's up to you.

[vague plaza]

there's no single magic bullet resource that will get you all the way to fluency, but deutsche Welle is often recommended as a good starting point. especially their nicos weg series

I wouldn't really recommend them as a good starting point for learning to read. they use some outdated forms, and a tense that isn't really used in spoken german so a lot of the word forms would be unfamiliar to you. Very simply written childrens books, or language-learning orientated graded readers would do you better, especially things with illustrations, as to start off reading will be a very slow and arduous task. simple texts and images will help speed up the understanding of what you're reading

[tepid cedar]

Hey guys I wanna ask... which one is better.. Netzwerk or Studio D? And could I use that for self-taught or still need a mentor? Thank you

@carmine canopy I've watched Mord mit Aussicht, it's available on arf I think but also Netflix
Krimi Komödie
Very naive but I'd say very good for hearing words

You can turn on german subs on Netflix for that series, and I'd say it is following the spoken part pretty good

anyone happens to know any resources that could help me prepare for B2 test, exclusively for the test? i already use all sort of textbooks and stuff for learning but i've never taken any test before so i kinda don't know what to expect.

[vague plaza]

what type of test? e.g. goethe, dsh, testdaf, etc @formal schooner

[formal schooner]

@vague plaza goethe.

[vague plaza]

there are example and praxtice exams on their website for free. if you want you can also shell out for some od the prep textbooks out there

it's done in 4 sections - reading, writing, listening, and speaking.

reading and listening consist of reading and listening to passages and answering questions regarding those. writing consists of some short reaponse / grammar focused questions and then you have to write a longer (2ish exam lined page) written response to a text prompt. speaking involves a prepared section, plus a spontaneous speaking with a partner section

you should be able to hold a 4 minute spoken presentation, and actively take part in an 8 minute spontaneous discussion

there are no dictionaries or other aides allowed in the ecam so all vocabulary you use you have to know by heart

[vague plaza]

here's one of the prep textbooks I know of:
https://www.klett-sprachen.de/mit-erfolg-zum-goethe-zertifikat-b2/t-1/9783126751544

and of course goethe's own prep material
https://www.goethe.de/de/spr/kup/prf/prf/gb2/ue9.html

[novel ginkgo]

@vague plaza have you taken it?

[vague plaza]

not officially. but my studienkolleg used goethe papers for their course exams

[formal schooner]

can't thank you enough for the help and for taking ur time 🙂 really appreciate it.

[novel ginkgo]

I only ask since I'm not sure if I could pass it. I'm the living embodiment of Schrödinger's CEFR level. 😉

[gilded pelican]

you should be able to hold a 4 minute spoken presentation, and actively take part in an 8 minute spontaneous discussion
@vague plaza

Only 8 minutes?

How is with higher levels if you maybe know?

And how they feel about bad grammar?

If I can talk for 90 (just because time is up), although with bunch of errors, I wonder where that puts me

[vague plaza]

It is similar at C1.
They will specifically be marking you on things such as fluidity of speech, accuracy of grammar, and extent / suitability of vocabulary. i'll post the b2 marking scheme here

compared to C1

e.g. in B2 some mistakes in structure will still get you top marks whereas in C1 some mistakes will only get you middle marks. To get top marks the only mistakes you are allowed to make are occasional tiny ones.

[gilded pelican]

Cool, thanks!

So my estimate that I'm B2 is probably right, in terms of 'ability to send the message and that correct message is received' :) and I definitely can talk for hours, depending on the topic 😂

[vague plaza]

b2 is however a bit harder in the sense that it's modular so you have to pass each section individually whereas c1 a 48 on speaking might still get you a certificate if you do well in the other components

ehhhh not so much. B1 is can send message and correct message is recieved

b2 is can send complex message, it is correctly received and won't get you laughed at by a rude native

[gilded pelican]

Yup, I'd say B2 then definitely :) altough I didn't met rude native

[vague plaza]

how are your grammar mistakes then?

[gilded pelican]

I didn't go to school :D (past a1.1) and don't learn words by heart, so cases are still weird and my pain point are past participles, plus when speaking I tend to do all verbs then other stuff 😂 and I've spent only several months on actively studying.

But topics are 'health insurance nuances how to ask for more money', doing hearing exams and explaining non trivial medical history for various conditions, or taking cat to the vet and explaining symptoms, or having issues with glasses and describing that

Oftentimes I don't check the vocabulary in advance, which would definitely help

But I'm not 'what did you ate yesterday' type of stuff :) actually I might be really bad with that since I don't need that, but I'm good at writing claim for insurance, or explaining why I have weird driver's licence to the Amt lady 😂

I was just surprised to see they ask for only 4 and 8 minutes of talking ability.

[vague plaza]

I definitely strongly recommend working on cases gender, and sentence structure.
by b2 you should be able to accurately decline articles and adjectives when you know the nouns gender. structuring your sentences like ich werde essen Wurst would also come under mistakes that actively disrupt. i.e. the second lowest marks cateogry

[quasi cypress]

When you learn vocab, try to learn verbs with their prepositions and cases like: hinweisen auf + Akkusativ . It helps a lot!

[feral root]

I definitely strongly recommend working on cases gender, and sentence structure.
by b2 you should be able to accurately decline articles and adjectives when you know the nouns gender. structuring your sentences like ich werde essen Wurst would also come under mistakes that actively disrupt. i.e. the second lowest marks cateogry
@vague plaza definitely. By late B1 it was almost second nature to me, and as of now (I'm about half way to B2) I still make mistakes here and there, but small or very specific ones

I really enjoy reading about grammar on my free time so I was thinking of reading through Hammer's Grammar Definition and Usage. Do you think I should read a german-written grammarbook instead?

[carmine canopy]

Someone else can give you a better answer, I think it depends on your CEFR level... I don't think you should read a german-written grammarbook if you're only at A (1 or 2) level. If you're at B level I think you know enough vocabulary to understand most of the book and eventually expand your vocabulary knowledge

But it's also right that if you have enough grammar/vocabulary knowledge nothing says you can't read german books, even if you're at A level

I think that if you're feeling like you can do it, probably you can do it!

@quasi wing So decide you what to do 😉

[carmine canopy]

I know there are a lot of online dictionary, but is there a offline dictionary (maybe a pdf) that has all (or most, anyway) the words in German, with the respective translation in english?

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.
🔸 US International layout: if you're using a US keyboard or a keyboard based on it, the transition is very easy! Everything stays as you know it, except for some symbol keys like ~, ` or , which can be pressed to add accents. 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're on Mac, on most systems you can press and hold a letter to show several variants including umlauts. You can type ß by pressing Option + B.
🔸 Use a program like AutoHotkey to automatically type the symbols you need when you type certain shortcuts: https://www.autohotkey.com/

See the next page for more alternatives.

I found a very useful script for US-keyboard users

For Autohotkey users

;Umlaut
#Persistent
SetCapsLockState, AlwaysOff

CapsLock & a:: 
    GetKeyState, state, Shift
    if state = U
    SendInput {ASC 0228}            ;CapsLock+a = lower case a-umlaut
    else Send, {ASC 0196}            ;CapsLock+Shift+a = UPPER CASE A-umlaut
return

CapsLock & o:: 
    GetKeyState, state, Shift
    if state = U
    SendInput {ASC 0246}            ;CapsLock+o = lower case o-umlaut
    else Send, {ASC 0214}            ;CapsLock+Shift+o = UPPER CASE O-umlaut
return

CapsLock & u:: 
    GetKeyState, state, Shift
    if state = U
    SendInput {ASC 0252}            ;CapsLock+u = lower case u-umlaut
    else Send, {ASC 0220}            ;CapsLock+Shift+u = UPPER CASE U-umlaut
return

CapsLock & s:: Send, {ASC 0223}        ;CapsLock+s = CapsLock+s, Eszett
return

capslock + a = ä
capslock + o = ö
capslock + u = ü
caplock + s = ß

capslock + shift + a = Ä

n so on

but ur capslock original function will not work.

but you can go to system tray and right click to disable the code

just right click

and exit

but your shift function will remain

so you can still
Shift + any character = capital

ADSADJOCMOWQJOE, shift + capslock + A/O/U = capital umlait

[misty valve]

That is not a very good hotkey setup. If you look in the pinned messages in this channel, I pinned a file that has a better autohotkey setup.

[waxen rock]

oh

[misty valve]

I recommend to use that one instead.

[waxen rock]

theres an even better one?

okay ill check it out now

how deos it work

its on

running

[misty valve]

Alt + a = ä, alt + shift + a = Ä

And so on.

[waxen rock]

ä

Ä

ok

not bad

ill see which suits me and decide

Working on one about noun gender next...

Here it is! "How to Remember German Noun Gender - Part 1: Masculine (der)"

https://youtu.be/2GASW60B_Cs

[coarse fiber]

Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone knows some goos German Youtubers that do their videos in German but have English subtitles. I'm hoping for more crafty (Sewing, knitting etc) but anyone will do.
Thanks!

[slate cove]

any place to practice position of the verb in yes and no question and Position of the verb in information questions things like this

[gilded pelican]

@coarse fiber I would discourage English subtitles, because then you're in a risk of just reading that
Sewing terms aren't insanely hard, so I think even autogenerated subtitles in German could be enough to get a grasp
At the beginning it will be more work and more digging through the vocabularies, but it won't last that long :) (granted, beginning will be hard especially if you're complete beginner in those crafts as well)

Schnabelina has famous bags
And there's also Das Haus mit dem Rosen Sofa, which actually looks active

Others I haven't watched at all, but if you do search for schnabelina you'll get other people who did those bags :)

If this helps in any way :)

[misty valve]

What do you mean?

[vague plaza]

I think that would just end up confusing you more

[misty valve]

I can't see what possible benefit that could have.

If you mean you're watching stuff in German, for the purpose of learning German, you should use German subtitles or no subtitles.

You can't translate languages word-for-word, so it wouldn't work.

But then why not just make it normal English (or whatever language you already speak) subtitles, if you just want to understand people?

By just using word-for-word translated subtitles, you lose the benefits of both understanding and of learning. You get nothing.

If you want to analyze that kind of stuff, it's much better to do it with text.

You can get a story which has dual language and compare texts.

[vague plaza]

the key to understanding speech - especially in the early stages - is to not understand what every word is and what every word means - but to understand the gist of what's being communicated. If you spend too much time focusing on individual words you lose focus of the scope of the sentence and what's being said

[misty valve]

You should pretty much never do something word for word when it comes to learning languages.

I would recommend instead to start by learning the basics of how German sentences are constructed. Once you do that, you can learn to parse the different parts of sentences, and then, after that, learn to understand how different ideas can be conveyed between the two languages.

[gilded pelican]

If you have no clue what sentence means, I'd just type it whole into deepl.com and check that

If you understand the most but not some words, then dictionary makes sense to use

[misty valve]

I definitely encourage using the dictionary constantly.

My point is that you can't just go through each word one by one and hope you'll understand what's going on. You need to learn the words and the structure.

So it's important to also learn about the structure, because it creates the whole context by which you understand the words.

[gilded pelican]

I agree with you, base!

My recommendation for deepl.com is for situations when you want to just understand something and move on, not focusing on learning language but extract information

Word by word translation could be very bad especially if you're trying to understand official stuff for example :)

I mean, you will passively learn language as well, but it's not primary use for that

I was suggesting from the context of understanding what's going on in video

[coarse fiber]

@gilded pelican yes, it does! Danke!

[red silo]

There's some good courses on here https://www.dw.com/en/learn-german/level-a2/s-13228

[carmine canopy]

use anki

[misty valve]

It depends on what you're trying to learn.

With vocab it's like this: you should learn the words and their meaning properly, but you can use the flashcards to reinforce that knowledge.

Vocab requires a lot of straight up memorization.

But you just have to make sure that you understand what you're memorizing and don't make silly assumptions.

[plush flax]

For vocab, I really recommend the pre-made anki decks for A1-B1. There's a separate deck for each level and using Anki substantially helps you keep track of everything, memorize with the pace you'd like, revise efficiently and is overall a great go-to. Would really recommend to anyone memorizing vocabulary

[misty valve]

Making your own Anki deck is even better.

[calm jasper]

Yes, I've been trying to make my own anki cards

A question about that: Should I put everything in the flashcard - gender, participle forms, examples etc? I don't want it to be too overwhelming but I also want to learn efficiently. Thank you for the answers :)

[misty valve]

Verbs should generally have this info:
essen
isst / aß / hat gegessen

For nouns you need singular and plural form, and you should include the article (e.g. die Katze, Katzen). It's a good idea, but not essential, to add the genitive form for masculine and neuter nouns too. And I recommend to add something if they are weak nouns also.

[gloomy kiln]

hi! does anyone have any good resources for reflexive verbs???

[calm jasper]

Thanks!

[night glade]

does anyone have a link to the premade A1-B2 anki decks?

[vague plaza]

you can find a bunch of different ones here https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/german @night glade
but it's strongly recommended to make your own decks. E.g. either from the goethe word lists, vocab lists in any textbooks your using, and of any new words you find out in the real world as:

1. not only do you learn more from making the decks yourself - having to research and understand the word
2. a lot of the decks are insufficient/ineffective in the way they're put together. E.g. lack examples to provide context on how the words are actually used, or have mistakes.

if you take a look at >faq anki there are some tips on what things should go on flashcards.

This tip from another message is also a good one to follow:

when using flashcards, instead of seeing a german word and having to remember what the english word is, give yourself an english word to try and remember what the german word is.
or alternatively - again putting things into context - make up close phrases. E.g. Ich kaufe Lebensmittel im [blank] ein. and put those on your flashcards. (the reverse side of that example flash card would have 'Ich kaufe Lebensmittel im Markt ein. der Markt, die Märkte - market')

Basically flashcards are most effective not when they teach you to recognise something. E.g. see 'Baum' and know it means 'tree', put to be able to synthesise and reproduce knowledge. E.g. Look at a picture of a tree and be able to know that's 'der Baum' and also know that although 'die Struktur' can translate to 'tree' the tree die Struktur refers to is not the plant kind of tree.

Hey, everyone. I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but is anyone from Germany or lives in Germany? I'm looking for a German partner for my project. 😁

Well

I am not but in the right corner (PC) you can see the "native speaker" category

There are 191 users that are native speakers!

DM them, @lavish crow

[misty valve]

@eager trout Uh, no, please don't DM random people.

That's very rude.

Oh

Oh sorry

In Brazil it is common to do that

It's fine. But native speakers get harassed a lot in their DMs already, to help with homework and so on, so I don't want to encourage it.

Hallo, can anybody recommend me a good app for learning? Or are online materials better?

[vague plaza]

most things are better than an app unless your goal is to cram vocabulary flashcards

[pulsar urchin]

I see, i learned a bit from duolingo but it isn't really providing what i need

[oblique roost]

Babbels is pretty decent, you have to pay for it tho

Otherwise, apps i can recommend are:
DW learn german
Tobo German
Deutsch Wörterbuch (I use this to look up words i don't know, popular words also have translations in other languages)

But like crapfork said, they are best for learning words

what are some good resources for vocab learning?

[vague plaza]

faq anki

[twilit needle]

Anki

What is Anki?

Anki is a free and very versatile flashcard program that is often used for learning new vocabulary. You can import spreadsheets to quickly create your own flashcards, and you can add your own images and audio for highly custom flashcard decks. You can also access and use a wide range of community created and shared flashcard decks all for free*.

Note: Anki uses a method of learning called spaced repetition. Flashcards and spaced repetition are one of many techniques used for language learning. However, we all learn differently and while these methods work for many people, they may not necessarily work for you. Give it a try, but don’t be disheartened if these methods aren’t right for you. Even if flashcards and spaced repetition work for you, don’t forget to incorporate other forms of practice. E.g. try using your new vocabulary to write your own practice sentences.

Where To Get It

It is available here on PC, Mac, Linux, iPhone, and Android. You can also find the browser AnkiWeb version here.

Manually adding basic cards is quite simple, but making custom templates is a bit more complex. Basementality has put together this handy guide for making custom card types and decks. You can also find Anki’s documentation / instruction guide here.

*The iPhone app AnkiMobile costs $24.99 USD on the iTunes store. The Android app and all other platforms are completely free. The mobile browser version of AnkiWeb is still available for free on iPhones.

See the next page for some helpful tips on creating your flashcards.

there's also an issue with your demonstrative pronouns

in the genitive

Hmm, maybe post them in #beginner-german or something instead so people can still point out mistakes. Then post them in #resources again once you're sure they're all correct.

[carmine canopy]

Nice, thanks y'all!

Getting to work then ^^

@vague plaza what was the issue with the demonstrative pronouns ? 🧐

[vague plaza]

deren and derer are used for both feminine and plural as genitive demonstrative pronouns
though the rules on when to use which are a little, er, complex

[carmine canopy]

Mm.. I'll dig into it ! Thanks

[vague plaza]

for all intents and purposes however derer is a bit altmodisch

this is a bit of a tl;dr tho

deren und derer:

Vor einem Nomen steht immer deren:

unsere Freunde und deren Kinder
Er liebt nicht die Frau, sondern deren Geld.

Steht das Demonstrativpronomen allein, kann bei Rückweisungen deren oder derer verwendet werden:

Sonderabfälle und wie man sich deren/derer entledigen kann

Bei Vorausweisungen steht die Genitivform derer:

die Liste derer, die ich gerne einladen würde
Erinnert euch derer, die nicht mehr unter uns sind.

Im Feminin Singular ist derer unüblich, da derer im Allgemeinen als Pluralpronomen verstanden wird. Man verwendet dann besser ein Substantiv mit Artikel:

Erinnert euch der Frau, die nicht mehr unter uns ist.

What Duolingo will teach you about grammar is very limited, and none of the systems they use will help you practise much of it.
You can learn some vocabulary with it, but their method (based on the concept of spaced repetition) doesn't work for everybody, and the way Duolingo teaches is not very effective compared to the amount of time it requires from you.

So, if you find it useful, by all means keep using it, but remember not to fall for its gamification of language learning, and move past it when it stops being beneficial. Ignore the streaks.

In any case, keep in mind that Duolingo is not enough to learn a language, ever.

[pale rapids]

Has anyone here used german grammar drills?

[carmine canopy]

Drills?

[pale rapids]

a book by Ed Swick

[carmine canopy]

Oh Nope sorry

[oak mural]

someone (wonder who) posted a link in #german in the duolingo server @pale rapids

https://discord.gg/G2kpndH

[carmine canopy]

I thought there was a lot of drama recently in duolingo's community. Something made it worse or paywalled.

[kindred quest]

hm i know the server provides a doc with grammar resources, its helpful but idk where to start. best grammar website in ur opinion?

[misty valve]

I think there's no one "best" grammar site. Usually when I want a site for grammar, I just google the topic and look through the main results to see which result has the best info.

You can use the bot command >faq beginner in #botchannel to see a list of grammar topics, if you're not sure what to search next.

@kindred quest

[kindred quest]

Thank you! 😄

[oak mural]

they added a hearts system to the app version, where after you make 5 mistakes you have to use the practice feature or pay gems to regain them. People were frustrated because the practice feature kept showing them easy questions, and they felt afraid to make mistakes and weren't learning as well anymore. Didn't affect me because they don't have it on the website version.

[maiden moth]

So I went ahead and built this, for my own needs 😂 if anyone has any feedback, or notices any mistakes or bugs, or has any ideas on how it could be made better, please please please let me know!

Where can i get the grammer pdfs guys?
i forgot how

nevermind

found it xD

[carmine canopy]

I’m using it....I find it pretty good

The theory is summarized but the exercises are complete and the chapters are well divided

It is a good addition if you already have an actual German Course Book or similar

Hello, do you guys have any recommendation for an Anki deck ? For German vocabulary of course

thanks!

[carmine canopy]

https://ankiweb.net/shared/decks/german

@distant knot

[distant knot]

Ohhhh

Danke sehr @carmine canopy

[strong blaze]

what book would you guys suggest for A1/BEGINNER

[boreal kernel]

https://lingua.com/german/reading/

[shut sigil]

İğnelenmiş mesajlar kısmında baya kaynak olan bir pdf(?) dosyası var

Onu indir içinde A ve B seviye kitapları vardı adını unuttum @strong blaze

Schenke yazanlar

[carmine canopy]

Just do dw.de courses? I assume this is for self-study.

[strong blaze]

Yes but DW courses itself enough for preparation?

[carmine canopy]

For what?

[strong blaze]

My goal is to get C1 certificate from telc at the end.

Therefore I want to learn every level properly

[carmine canopy]

Nice.

Taking a class is the easiest way imo.

[strong blaze]

A1 and A2 I will self study

Then I will consider some courses

[carmine canopy]

I see.

I don't see a problem with that.

[strong blaze]

I think it’s doable

[carmine canopy]

Yep.

Totally.

[strong blaze]

But Im not sure how to learn this in a proper way

You know what I mean

[carmine canopy]

Just my suggestion. Do dw.de courses for now.

See how you progress in a month or so.

It's better to start now rather than finding the absolute best proper way.

[strong blaze]

What about vocabulary

[carmine canopy]

?

The courses on dw are proper ones.

[strong blaze]

Courses are enough for that too?

[carmine canopy]

They teach you the vocabs obviously.

The biggest problem if anything is pronunciation.

[strong blaze]

I started watching youtube videos few days ago

[carmine canopy]

Without a teacher to correct you, it's kinda challenging.

[strong blaze]

But Idk if thats enough

[carmine canopy]

Again, just my opinion A1-A2 means nothing.

They are just the basics.

Anyways, what I'm trying to say is they are enough for now.

[strong blaze]

Got it

Thanks

[carmine canopy]

Check the pin.

[strong blaze]

Yeah

[oak mural]

If you want a real tutor you can use iwdl.de @strong blaze it's completely free. You can use flashcards to practice vocab using something like Anki, memrise, or quizlet. Plus, you can start reading books and watching tv in german to absorb some more nuanced facets of the language. A1-A2 is very different than the rest of the german learning experience imo. A more structured course becomes less useful once you learn the most common words and all the different grammar rules imo.

[carmine canopy]

Interesting, I've heard about it. But didn't know it offers some tutorial support for free.

[alpine salmon]

are there any sites which gives u quiz/worksheets to do but also gives the answers to them to cross check? atm i dont have any practice material

[misty valve]

Yeah, there are a few.

I like this one: http://www.nthuleen.com/teach/grammar.html

But if you look in the resource list (or even just google it) you can find more.

[strong blaze]

I bought the schenken beginner book,but Im gonna check this website also.

[carmine canopy]

Never heard of that book.

[iron heath]

My recommended https://deutschlernerblog.de/ exercises are fit to your learning level and it's a good reference for grammar

My teacher recommended

[alpine salmon]

thanks

[misty valve]

@heady yew Go to #botchannel and type >faq beginner for our beginner tips.

[heady yew]

Ohk

[carmine canopy]

Taking a class would be the least painful way to do it imo.

[misty valve]

Depends a lot on the class and how much it costs.

If paying for the class means you have to give up on something else, that can be quite painful.

[finite ore]

does anyone have German B2 level grammar notes?

If anyone have, then please send

[zinc summit]

ich hab was

[misty valve]

@finite ore There's a B2 grammar summary in the resource list. Maybe that helps.

[carmine canopy]

anyone know if there is an active discord server specifically for german literature and reading?

[finite ore]

Yeah, i saw that, but i need grammar notes of B2 level but i didn't found specific notes. I was looking for self notes or handwritten notes.

does anyone know a good way for google images or bing to NOT include stuff about celebrities when looking up common words?

for example i looked up "sauber" to see clean stuff and instead there's only pictures about some formula 1 stuff

you can always use the '-' symbol to exclude things from your search. In this case, for example, Formula 1 or the guy's last name or something

[carmine canopy]

Hello guys,

https://learngerman.dw.com/de/das-deutschlandlabor/c-53074503

I started learning German with this at the university and I now use them with students. These are "Folgen" about 20 different topics. The difficult increases with each episode. If you study it with the website, it's all interactive. However, for people like me, I've got everything downloaded onto my drive so feel free to do the same.

Each Folge comes with exercises, a vocabulary list, corrections. Everything you need to learn on your own. Here are the topics in order: Schule, Mode, Fussball, Literatur, Wandern, Wohnen, Organisation, Musik, Auto, Migration, Müll, Geld, Urlaub, Kuscheltiere, Bio, Mentalitât, Kälte, Kunst, Wurst and of course, Bier.

Have fun 🙂

[blissful hollow]

I want DVD of the following book Studio d a1

[astral zenith]

How do you download it onto the drive?

[carmine canopy]

I've downloaded the videos from the website, there were links somewhere. Then, I uploaded onto my personal Microsoft Drive account 🙂

[astral zenith]

Thank you @carmine canopy

[carmine canopy]

You're welcome. Hope it helps

[astral zenith]

I'm new to German so I hope so

[carmine canopy]

It did help me pretty well. You gave to be intelligent about it aha

[astral zenith]

In what way??? 😂

[carmine canopy]

Well, don't cram it ahahah, go with the flow, have fun and study in a smart way aha

[long terrace]

hello, i'm making a sort of app to speed up the process of looking for new vocab

https://github.com/truvaking/ForeignLanguageCompanion

as it stands, i'm the only user to the interface is very ugly and some tech knowledge is required to make the best use of it.

i'm deciding whether or not to spend time making it easier to use? would you get much use out of something like this?

[echo venture]

Pretty cool, can it make sentence cards automatically?

[long terrace]

not yet

but soon, right now i'm working on making it work with cloud services such as azure, so that it can fill in the gaps where there is no easily accessible ressource on the internet

[astral zenith]

It sounds like a great idea for which languages?

[long terrace]

so far i just tried with german

it works pretty well for other languages as well, tried with arabic, chinese, russian

Is there a purchasable german teaching course that can be downloaded?

i don't feel like paying yearly. tried that with busuu and it just felt like a scam.

[cinder patio]

I don’t know, I use the Rosetta Stone, which I have a lifetime account on.

[carmine canopy]

how's that working for you?

[cinder patio]

I like it, but the exercises can be repetitive. I like it because it teaches you without English, which I think imprints the words and their meaning in my mind more and gets around a few issues I have normally learning languages. But it can mean the grammar is a little more complicated and requires a reasonable amount of thinking to unravel sometimes.

Hi! For those who love German and Netflix, I can't help but post this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrwycJ08PSA&ab_channel=ONEMedia

It's the trailer of "Dark" that is available on Netflix. Set the audio to be in VO (German) and you will travel to another worls. It's about time being more than linear. Everything's connected. You should set the subtitles to German, not to English, unless you can focus on the audio still.

Have fun, it's worth it! I watched it three times! lol

Hallo! Für alle, die Deutsch und Netflix lieben, kann ich nicht anders, als dies zu posten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rrwycJ08PSA&ab_channel=ONEMedia

Es ist der Trailer von "Dark", der auf Netflix verfügbar ist. Stellt ihr die Sprache in VO (Deutsch) ein und ihr werdet in eine andere Welt reisen. Es geht darum, dass die Zeit mehr als linear ist. Alles ist miteinander verbunden. Ihr solltet die Untertitel auf Deutsch einstellen, nicht auf Englisch, es sei denn, ihr könnt euch noch auf die Sprache konzentrieren.

Viel Spaß, es lohnt sich!

Looking for recommendations on beginner grammar resources, free or paid. Including exercises. I have two grammar books now, Complete German Grammar and Living German: a grammar based course.

hi guys, any resources for learning the irregular verbs?

[lunar wedge]

here are two tables you could use:
https://resources.german.lsa.umich.edu/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/irreg_verbs_DNutting.pdf (i really like umich's stuff)
https://jakubmarian.com/list-of-irregular-strong-german-verbs/
ime the best approach is just to drill them (personally i made and learned a set of flashcards like
bleiben -> bleiben, bleibt, blieb, ist geblieben, and so on)

[kind forum]

thank you! yeah I just need to sit down and learn them once and forever, been postponing it way too long

[lunar wedge]

yeah, it's just a thing you have to do. i found learning eg. 5 a day with flashcards was manageable and got it out of the way quickly.

[kind forum]

exactly, no way around it 😄 well, let's get it started... 💪 I think they were something like 180 so if I had spent the time thinking about learning them actually studying my mind would've been already free from them till now. Great, gonna try do to the same,

[carmine canopy]

Just got this app called Der Die Das that gameifies the articles and I’m really enjoying it so far. It explains in detail the rules for them and I believe there’s 2,000 words in it so far.

[carmine canopy]

Hi. Can you suggest me any good books for German grammatic?

[lunar wedge]

what kind are you looking for? explanations or exercises?

Hammer's German Grammar and Usage is very good for reference.

for exercises, Schubert Verlag do grammar textbooks that explain concepts and give you exercises - A-Grammatik, B-Grammatik, C-grammatik depending on your level

[carmine canopy]

Hello, thanks for answering.

[carmine canopy]

Yes, i wanted for reference.

[lunar wedge]

Hammer's is what we used when i was in an english-language class, and iirc it does have a companion exercise book too

[carmine canopy]

All right.

Thank you. I'll download the book, if I'll find it.

[sleek holly]

@carmine canopy check the channel topic too.

[carmine canopy]

Any good explanations or rundowns of German case? Having trouble differentiating between them.

[misty valve]

Here is the basic breakdown:
Nominative = Subject
Accusative / Dative = Object
Genitive = Possessive

So usually the part people have trouble differentiating between is accusative and dative. That may narrow it down for you a bit in terms of understanding them.

[deep tinsel]

Hi all, I have a question, is there any recommendation for a book/website/app that teaches grammar, asks you for exercises and that includes audio/listening exercises? Specially for a beginner self-learner. I've been checking out the Schritte book/audio that a friend lent me, and works but there are multiple exercises to do in pairs (with other persons) but since I'm by myself, it pretty much doesn't work out that well for me 😅 thanks in advance!

[misty valve]

Well, you can try this.

faq nicos

[twilit needle]

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 courses here: https://learngerman.dw.com/en/overview/

You can also see various other courses for learners by dw.com here: https://www.dw.com/en/learn-german/s-2469/
