does anyone have any good anki decks for german? i'm looking for vocabulary but anything is fine

[waxen haven]

I'm using the Goethe Institute A1 Wordlist. It's manually translated and proofread by a professional German-English translator. It's very good for beginners :)
https://ankiweb.net/shared/info/293204297

[gritty anchor]

thank you very much for the recommendation

[waxen haven]

Oh, I also would suggest suspending the Card 1 type, if you want a more efficient learning. The people here at the server told me that reading an English word and translating it to German is more effective than the other way around.

[gritty anchor]

what is suspending the Card 1 type?

how do i do that?

[waxen haven]

@gritty anchor
Suspending is making so that a card is not used anymore, but still exists. Card 1 is the one that makes you translate from German to English.
Go to browse, select the Goethe Institute deck. This will show a list. Sort it by "card" at the top, click the first card that appears (make sure it's card type 1), scroll to the middle and with shift holded select the last one of the 1 type (before the type 2 begins), right click, and select "toggle suspend".
It's optional though, but doing this forced me to really remember the word, rather than assuming it by context

[gritty anchor]

i see, thank you

[waxen haven]

<@&305455824174710787> What kinds of resources can be submitted to the list? It seems to be more for "big stuff", like entire YouTube channels, rather than a single video, which was what I wanted to submit...

[misty valve]

You can submit anything and we'll review it and let you know if/why it doesn't work.

Alright, Danke!

I like to watch this guy playing Zelda: BOTW since he speaks in a way it's so easy to get what he means. Besides that, he even incarnates the lines of different characters so the gameplay doesn't become boring. I think it's a very good way to increase your listening skills.

i found this great Anki deck for verbs and the prepositions that go with them (like warten + auf + akkusativ case) with example sentences.

[carmine canopy]

Just 365 entries?

I tried making something similar before but the number of possible combinations are just ridiculous.

[carmine canopy]

yea, unfortunately. but 365 is still a great start. you can always add more to them on your own.
and yes verbs like "sprechen" can use both mit and über/von. that's why the example sentences are in there to help you use them in the right context

[carmine canopy]

And we still have the jdn./jdm./jds./etc. And it's not like a verb always takes just 1 object or 1 preposition.

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/

[clear zinc]

is it just me or is ANKI not very effective? maybe it's my learning style.

[lunar wedge]

depends on the person & how you're using it, IME

it's by far my most effective tool, personally. but for some people it doesn't work.

[clear zinc]

how do you use it efficiently?

[waxen haven]

Have you checked the server's FAQ about Anki? They give some excellent tips!

I've adopted some of them and now it's much more productive for me

[clear zinc]

i haven't but i definitely will

thanks for the tip

[waxen haven]

And are you using your own deck or a downloaded deck?

[clear zinc]

downloaded decks

[lunar wedge]

oh yeah i really don't like downloaded decks

i've never had luck with them, i just make my own

[clear zinc]

you start with words you're struggling to remember?

like, "shit, what's the word for speed-limit again? maybe i'll put that in my anki deck"

[lunar wedge]

i actually chuck just about every word in there

if i encounter it and i feel like i'll need it in the future

this is the kind of thing i have in my vocab file atm:

(i also have separate decks for grammar drills, but vocab is the bulk of my cards)

[clear zinc]

ahhh, clauses too, nice

yeah, maybe i could benefit from using it this way

[lunar wedge]

when i was at A2-B1 i was doing mostly single words

it's more phrases / clauses / sentences now

[clear zinc]

yeah, ive taken a few different placement tests and they all suggest i work on A2.2 or B1 material

so maybe i'll do a mix of both

[lunar wedge]

the nice thing about those levels are that there are vocab lists from goethe, iirc

i mean, it depends on what your goals with anki are.

[clear zinc]

oooo

[lunar wedge]

if it's learning vocab then i'd get the word list appropriate for your level (i think these only go up to B1?) and add all the words that you don't know (but you feel are useful)

you should be fairly selective with adding cards because adding a card is a long-term commitment to putting it in your long-term memory

[clear zinc]

nice and you are C1 now right?

[lunar wedge]

yeah

i went A2 -> B2 fairly quickly and i do put a lot of that down to anki

(this was during my high school german course, and having a really good vocabulary and fast recall of words had a lot of benefit during the course 😆 )

here's the vocab lists, btw:
B1 - https://www.goethe.de/pro/relaunch/prf/de/Goethe-Zertifikat_B1_Wortliste.pdf
A2 - https://www.goethe.de/pro/relaunch/prf/de/Goethe-Zertifikat_A2_Wortliste.pdf

[clear zinc]

if i'm around A2/B1, would you suggest including A1 as well

[lunar wedge]

i would go through the A1 list and see how much of it you know

[clear zinc]

good idea

yeah i'm sure there are words i have missed and don't know because i have only been learning german daily for 3 months

[lunar wedge]

speedy!

[clear zinc]

i drink a lot of coffee and study for several hours a day lol

but yeah, i'm realizing my grammar is getting better, but there are words i don't recognize

so i'll give ANKI a shot with this new method

thanks for all the tips, veryyyy much appreciated honestly

[lunar wedge]

no worries! happy to help with anki 🥰

[clear zinc]

@lunar wedge actually one more question, do you find it pretty easy to hear and speak german at C1?

someone on reddit posted they were at C1 but said they couldn't or understand german audibly very well

i found that very strange

[lunar wedge]

i can understand essentially everything that's said unless it's dialectal

and no problem with speaking, though if i'm speaking too fast my grammar is funky

it could just be not enough time spent talking / listening to german - some people are much stronger in reading/writing than they are in speaking/listening

[clear zinc]

and you've studied for how long?

[lunar wedge]

uh 😅

something like 3 years in school going at an extremely slow pace, by the end of which we were barely A2

2 years fairly intensely that took me through to B2

3 year break during which i didn't do anything except flashcards

[clear zinc]

how many hours a day for those 2 years?

[lunar wedge]

then B2 -> C1 in the last 6 months

[lunar wedge]

i think i had something like 4 hours a week of teaching and 5 a week studying at home?

[clear zinc]

nice

[lunar wedge]

math was my main focus at that time 😅

[clear zinc]

yeah, i feel that

[small pewter]

Might want to ask in #archived-culture-study-visa as well

[left dune]

[glass anvil]

I am kinda lost,I started learning German 10 months ago and in my perspective I learned around 20% of the language in 4 months but I didn't find the best way to learn the language is there any website that allow you to learn with teacher or something similar like that?

[lunar wedge]

somehow i don't think you learned 20% of the language 😆 that's nto how these things work, generally

if you want a structured way, join a course locally or find a good textbook

[fallen current]

I don't think Language learning can be measured this way because Languages are Subjective subjects, they don't have certain curriculum. One can keep learning something new even in his mother language every single day. So I think you need to undergo a test (preferably Goethe) at first to know exactly where do you stand in the langauge, you can identify your next step afterwards.

[misty valve]

I don't think they're asking for opinions on how much of the language they've learned. As it states in that person's question, they're just asking for suggestions of where they can get a tutor, e.g. links to tutoring websites and so on.

[idle turtle]

Ikr? Everyone getting philosophical and missing the point

[dusky cedar]

Hello, does anyone have any good Quizlet decks to recommend for vocabulary?

Looking for A1-A2 difficulty.

[lean badge]

Don't have much quizlet knowledge in my holsters, but if you use anki there is one very useful deck, that you can find in the repositories (or just ask me and I'll send it)

It is supposed to take you to level b1

[lean badge]

I mean, this is gonna hit some people wrong, but duolingo's german course is not bad. Honestly, if you want a sort of guide, it's ok, but I should also recommend that you take a book and read it through, exercises and so. A recommendation is German Grammar Drills. For a beginner it's pretty easy to understand and to finish. When I learned it, I read a chapter a day(i think one or another day I skipped practice) and in maybe a month or so I was through and I already had a very nice idea and understanding of the grammar, along with some acquired vocab. It gets easier, at least for me, when you have a look before at what lies ahead, cause, let's face it, nobody remembers all that they learned, so it really makes no difference whether you study it in a week or a day.

But as someone that has been learning for the incredibly huge enormous gargantuan time that is a year, I can tell you'd have better luck finding the devils fur coat than sticking to a course for a year

[torn gazelle]

if anyone is interested, I have made a tool which can take a pdf / epub / url / plain text and make you a vocabulary list directly from it as a csv which can be given to quizlet or anki https://booklearner.com

[misty valve]

@torn gazelle That's pretty cool. As a recommendation though, the fonts on the webpage are kinda hard on the eyes so it might be worth adjusting them a bit.

[torn gazelle]

yeah, I'm definitely going to improve the appearance of the website, the UI / UX isn't great but I'm working on it, I'll definitely improve the fonts soon

[carmine canopy]

Hello guys. How are you? I'm quite sure that this was questioned before, but could you recommend me a complete german grammar book? I've tried to work with Hammer's German Grammar and Usage, but honestly I didn't like it.

[lunar wedge]

depends on what you're looking for, but i really like Schubert-Verlag's Grammatik series

comes in three levels (A/B/C) and includes exercises: https://www.schubert-verlag.de/abc-grammatik.php

[carmine canopy]

Did you study with them? @lunar wedge

[lunar wedge]

yes, i use B-Grammatik and C-Grammatik.

so i'm speaking from experience when i say they're good

[carmine canopy]

How did you reach B?

[lunar wedge]

i had in-school teaching up to B2.

B2 -> C1 is when i used those books

[carmine canopy]

Clearly.

Much appreciated!

It turned out that many of information there is familiar to me.

[carmine canopy]

Oh thanks! I'll check it out now

@lunar wedge hours up

[lunar wedge]

perfect timing, just got back :)

essentially i've found the best way is to drill them in context

what i've essentially done is created a bank of anki cards for verb + preposition and adjective + preposition combinations from various resources and drilled them, which i've found super helpful

in terms of what resources i used:

• schubert verlag's c-grammatik and b-grammatik have in the appendix a list of verb+prep and adj+prep combinations with example sentences - all of those went into anki
• i also parsed all the sentences out of this webpage: https://deutschlernerblog.de/verben-mit-praeposition-dativ-akkusativ-listen-erklaerungen-beispiele-a1-c2/

with b-grammatik / c-grammatik, the added bonus is that there's also lots of exercises for practicing prepositions :)

[carmine canopy]

If you want some reading books then I would suggest Dino lernt Deutsch by André Klein.

Heck, André Klein has books for beginners, Intermediate and advanced learner's. I have the Intermediate books and I love them.

Any good resources for "hin her heraus hinein heraus herein" etc.?

[deep tapir]

I don’t know of any resources but it’s pretty easy to explain

[calm tapir]

I can't find any references for it though.

[deep tapir]

That’s not what I mean. I mean I can explain it to you

[calm tapir]

I appreciate it but I wanted something I could refer to in the future.

[deep tapir]

I mean that’s fair but it’s not a very difficult concept, that’s why I was offering to just explain it

[cinder patio]

Please could you explain it? I’d like to know

[waxen haven]

@deep tapir Me too! :)

[deep tapir]

@cinder patio @waxen haven sure! Well, hin and her are essentially the opposite of each other. „Hin“ refers to a location to which someone or something is going. As „her“ is the opposite, what it refers to is where someone or something came from. A lot of times, „her“ refers specifically to someone or something coming to the speakers location, and when it’s „hin, it refers to movement away from the speaker or from the location. So when you say „woher kommst du?“ it is essentially like „from where did you come in order to come to me“. Think of it like with arrows.

My location —> wohin —> destination
My location <— woher <— starting point (of someone or something else)

And then when you add other words to them like „hinein“ „herein“ „hinaus“ and „heraus“ - ein = into, aus = out of

In colloquial speech it’s common for one to say „rein“ instead of „herein/hinein“ and „raus“ instead of „heraus/hinaus“ : )

hinein/herein and mean essentially the same thing, same with heraus/hinaus, it’s just a matter of perspective for the speaker.

Say someone jumped out the window, and I was standing on the side of the window from which they exited the room, then you would (theoretically) use hinaus, because they moved away from you.

If however you watched them jump out the window from the outside of the building (coming towards you) then „heraus“ makes more sense.

They same concept applies with hinein/herein.

[twilit needle]

Thank you, your resource suggestion has been submitted!

[hard ether]

Sorry for the late reply. As someone who also is familiar with Old English, I tried looking for the exact same thing. The problem is the German nouns are much more chaotic and less rigidly defined than Old English, for example just look at how many different plural endings that a noun can have in German.

This is most likely for a number of reasons: OE is studied mostly by academics for academic purposes, German has been around for longer and has evolved more complexity, etc.

I tried to find a pattern but only found this table: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_nouns#Declension_classes
There is also a different table on the German Wikipedia. I am not sure if it is any better for your purposes.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutsche_Deklination#Substantive

Maybe someone knows more about this.

[vale island]

Yeah I ended up using the same source, but like you said they weren't very specific about when to use what class. It is what it is. Thank you!

[winter tulip]

Does anyone know a good free german test to tell me which level i'm at?

[misty valve]

Online tests aren't very accurate.

The only way to know for sure is doing an official exam.

[winter tulip]

Schade :/

[misty valve]

But you can get people's opinions on the server. Maybe try writing a text and getting people to rate what level they think it is, and then talk to people in VC and ask them what level your speaking is.

And then whatever the lower one is, you can say that's approximately your level.

[winter tulip]

hmm that's a really interesting idea

[lunar wedge]

if you want something that tests just reading/listening/grammar, goethe have one: https://www.goethe.de/en/spr/kup/tsd.html (although i've found it does overestimate abilities)

[misty valve]

Yeah, but what they're looking for is a definitive answer of whether they're A or B, and an online test won't give that.

[lunar wedge]

i mean, they just asked for "which level", i think doing something like that might be a good idea of a ballpark...

there's also the CEFR quizzes that the bot links to

[misty valve]

They already know they're somewhere between A2 and B1, so I don't think a test will help much in that scenario.

I just want it to be clear because I don't want anyone confused thinking that they can figure that out with an online test, since most of the tests overestimate people's level by at least 1 level, sometimes more.

CEFR levels

If you see something like A1, B2 or C1, these represent the proficiency of a speaker in a language they're not native in, and are called CEFR levels. They are valid for any language, not only German!
Roughly speaking, A levels are beginners and C levels are experts. Remember that CEFR level are self-assessed and indicative!
You can see more specific names and descriptions on the Wikipedia page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_European_Framework_of_Reference_for_Languages

🗨 How do I know what level I am?
If the table on Wikipedia is too generic for you, you can try using this one here:
https://rm.coe.int/168045bb52
Just check each column one at a time: if you can do all it describes, move to the next column. Your level is the highest where you can do the most things.

Alternatively, you can use this questionnaire to estimate your level more accurately:

Does anyone have the Netzwerk Neu A1.1 book?

[deep tapir]

Very comprehensive explanation and look at: mindestens, wenigstens, zumindest https://yourdailygerman.com/wenigstens-mindestens-zumindest-zumindest-difference/

I feel like these words give everyone trouble but this explains it really well.

[coral cloak]

Uh, I think they solved that. Checked last week and it works. The problem is, those are all books from at least... what is it? 80 years ago?, and most a lot older. So, it seems to me quite a lot of them would be of limited use to learners. :)

[unborn dagger]

What I was thinking was more just, having reading material that is in German + maybe having access to an English translation of the same book to read side by side. (I'm currently doing that for die Verwandlung) I know there are publishing houses that alread have books out but they also cost money so yeah.

[stray sage]

You had me so excited. I just tried it 5 times and German IPs are still blocked 😭

[lean badge]

That makes sense, there are some dusty books on those shelves. But there are some very nice ones like alice in wonderland plus some translations of older books(I've really only read(until now!!!) Alice, so I'll vouch for her.)

[lean badge]

That's why it's awesome if you can read on you phone or tablet wtv. You can either split screen(if yours has that) or use a translator for the lines you just can't squeeze any sense out of. My phone has a functionality, and I think most do, that when you highlight something it gives you the option to translate it, if you have a translator. Yes, I know this is kinda obvious.

It's a free course of about 50 lessons. I really like the way of teaching the guy uses. He makes you feel learning how to speak a language is an attainable goal, and he manages to do so without making people memorize whole chunks of - at the point of learning - meaningless syllables. Admittedly, he might have worked a little on his pronunciation.

[copper thunder]

I was wondering if someone has a resource which lists prepostions and when there used?

For example, I saw something before where it explained when Nach and Zu would be situationally used

[waxen haven]

resource https://germanwithlaura.com/declension/ Article introducing a system for mastering all of German declension, be it der-words, ein-words, adjectives, etc.

Maybe the best resources available out there for German declension. It simplifies all German declension into one single chart; it's difficult to get used to the system (just reading the guide took me about an hour), but it was very much worth the effort. By doing an exercise on declensions to test the system, I was able to get a substantial majority of the answers correct, and all errors where mostly due to me not properly identifying the case, or, more rarely, forgetting one of the rules of the system.

It feels like a weird hyperactive food blogger

Not saying that content is bad, just frenetic

[misty valve]

Can you explain more about why you like it? I'm just asking out of curiosity.

[waxen haven]

Well, the thing which makes me like it so much is by far the incredible amount of simplification that the system achieves. I've been, as I said, practising a lot with it, and I can confirm that by only using that single chart, I can with one look know what declension I should put in definite articles, indefinite articles, possessives, adjective endings, demonstratives, etc etc, all neatly organised simply by gender, case, and strong and weak declension. It's simple, it's effective, and, besides that, I'm starting to get declensions correctly even without the chart at hand. It's an amazing tool.

Oh, and just remember how German declension can seem so unbearably overwhelming for learners. This system was like a friendly pat on the back hehe 😅

even after reaching b level i am still not confident with the preposition

[misty valve]

Yeah, that's totally normal.

Even at Level C, people still make plenty of mistakes with them.

Like most of the ones in that link I posted should be pretty familiar by C1, but prepositions are pretty difficult.

A lot of it is idiomatic.

But it's not really something to worry about. Most likely the ones that you need to use regularly will become pretty familiar with time and experience.

@copper mesa ive had very good experiences with the podcast that easy german makes

[copper mesa]

Didn't want to dive into a podcast blindly, since that's a lot of episodes, but if it's a recc I wouldn't mind googling around for the first 80 episodes, I'm sure there's a website out there

thanks

[twin frigate]

np

[waxen haven]

I think Spotify sorts them from most recent by default. The first episodes are indeed there, just need to tweak the filtering a bit.

Sorted it oldest to newest, started at 80

I recommended the article, not the blog, which is the one linked in the resources list. It would be fine if the main page of the blog showed the article right away, but you need to go to the nouns category, scroll all the way down, and there you'll find declension. I'm aware @carmine canopy also posted a link, but it is also to a specific article, and you need also to go through a category to get to it. People entering the link will just see the blog, and it's unlikely that they'll read the specific articles we both have recommended.

[misty valve]

I'm not sure what you mean by blog, since the link on the list is to a list of grammar articles. But why do you feel that only the single articles should be listed? Are the other articles on the website not useful?

[past robin]

Any of u guys, aware of a very good German class (ofc it should be online)

[misty valve]

What kind of class? Do you just want some beginner lessons?

[past robin]

A2 - B1

[misty valve]

Hmm, have you tried Nicos Weg? It's a free online course that a lot of people like.

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/

[waxen haven]

But why do you feel that only the single articles should be listed?
I mean, I already said it. We both recommended the single articles, not all her grammar articles. I gave a link of the article and a description of what it was about; both the link and the description were lost when her grammar articles were listed, and therefore all the purpose of my recommendation.
Are the other articles on the website not useful?
My point is not that her other posts are bad or not useful, my point is that they were linked in the first place, instead of the articles that we originally recommended.

[past robin]

https://www.neueschule.de/german-courses.html

[past robin]

does anyone has review about this course?

it's 260 euros A1 to C1

in 10 weeks

[misty valve]

The way that the list is run currently, we usually only link to specific articles like that if those resources don't have a general category that fits them better. For example, there are some resources that are only a single page/document covering one topic that aren't part of a bigger website, so we include those explicitly since it's the only way to include them.

When designing the new resource list, we did discuss linking specific articles from different websites for specific topics, but it might require a slight redesign of the resource list to implement it. The main concern is that the list could become really long and messy if we start doing that for everything. I mean, if we did it properly, it would potentially be hundreds of links, just for grammar.

I'll bring up the topic with the mod team, but until we get time to make a decision on it, it will have to remain the way it is. I'll update you based on what we decide.

[waxen haven]

Thanks a lot. That's why I love this server so much, It is always open to discussions and changes, and the mod team is very receptive and willing to discuss through any problems or suggestions.

[carmine canopy]

[sonic badger]

i was looking for something like this
vielen Dank

[spiral kettle]

Hello! Does someone know about any website or video where i can learn on how to say "i go to" some place, its really confusing cuz there are different ways with "nach, in, zu" i really dont understand it and i haven't find a place where i can learn it

[deep tapir]

It all depends on the context. For example, „nach“ is explicitly used with named locations (not including buildings or shops), so it’s used with cities, states, countries, continents, towns, villages, etc, but not with anything else.

„in“ and „zu“ have different implications, but you can use both for going to school, it’s just that „in“ implies more of literally going into the school building, whereas „zu“ doesn’t, it implies you are at least going to the school building, but not necessarily going inside of it. Although it’s still pretty commonly used to say you’re going into a school, like a very common phrase is „Ich gehe zur Schule“. But generally, it does imply more of actually entering a building of some kind.

If you wanna go to a person, say your friend, well you can’t go inside of your friend (I hope) and they aren’t a named location, therefore you have to use „zu“.

[spiral kettle]

Oh damn! thank you so much! :D i understand now!

[restive spoke]

I would like to add that "Ich gehe in die Schule." indicates that going to school is a habit, wherewas the "zu"-way solely says you are going to school.

Though, this is rather subtle.

Yes, why?

Hm, I can access every site except that one, so I thought it might have went down. Either way, now I know it's something with my internet specifically.

Yup, I can! Danke!

[unborn dagger]

Has anyone used the language transfer courses before? would you recommend them?

[misty valve]

I've heard them recommended by some people such as Susana (in case you want to ask her), but I've also heard from some people that they tried it and it's a bit weird.

[unborn dagger]

ooo thank you! I'll be sure to ask her about it. I'll guess I could just try it out, it should take only about 4 hours haha

[misty valve]

True. One important note is that the guy has not so great pronunciation, according to everyone who used it. @unborn dagger

But that's probably fine as long as you know about it.

[unborn dagger]

Thank you for the heads up! I'm not doing the German one tho, I'm going to try the italian course

"I've recently found a cool Comprehensible input German channel on Yt:
https://youtube.com/channel/UCsYGAmiWIvOjvT9f1sgQXRw

Videos difficulty ranges from absolute beginner to intermediate.
Visual quality is top notch and the stories are told in a very interesting fashion.

I've seen only intermediate ones and I liked them very much, though I am sure the easier ones are amazing as well.

The channel is still pretty fresh and I think it deserves bigger audience. Hope you'll like it. Cheers!"

Hello!
Where can i find a practical listening materials for Goethe-Zertifikat A2 expect those on the YouTube and Goethe website?

[vast galleon]

@lofty horizon Free or paid?

[haughty ocean]

Does anyone know what I can do to help my listening in German? I’m almost B1 and my listening is too terrible to go into B1 with

[crude pilot]

Watch films or videos on YouTube

[haughty ocean]

Do you know where I can find ones that correlate with my CEFR level?

[crude pilot]

I'd just search YouTube for "conversation in German B1" for example

[haughty ocean]

Is there a routine I should follow for a specific amount of time to reach a good enough level?

Of hearing I mean

[crude pilot]

I think just listening to German as much as possible will always help. You'll subconsciously pick up new words and phrases every time

I tend to watch films in German with English subtitles

[haughty ocean]

Thanks for your help

[tropic vector]

I also think there’s value in listening without necessarily understanding, i.e being able to make out the different words even without comprehending them.

I’ve started listening to podcasts at 1.5 or 1.8x speed. I’m currently listening to Woher Weißt Du Das? I would look for something that you’re interested in and that isn’t too beyond your overall language level, and play it a speed that’s just a tad too fast.

Regular speed of that podcast and listening exam practice now sounds like slow-motion!

[haughty ocean]

That’s a pretty good tip actually thanks!

[cinder patio]

Start here and watch all the films up to B1 would be my best suggestion. They’re really good and it starts easier to ease you into it. Plus you get the actions to help you understand. Don’t give up after the first half hour which is really easy because it gets harder and the later videos will be on the right level for you.

https://youtu.be/4-eDoThe6qo

I say start from there because the storyline will make more sense as well.

[haughty ocean]

I’ve actually finished the movie but I was using the website so I didn’t watch it all at once

[misty valve]

Usually it's best to also recommend people the actual website, because the website has exercises and explanations and stuff like that. It's a shame if people just watch the movie without knowing that the website exists.

[lofty horizon]

both

[vast galleon]

I have some Modellsätze for A2, will share them via DMs later.

[whole vector]

Hey guys, I was wondering if there are currently any online German classes going on? The classes should be interactive(1-on-1 or in a group) and not just recorded videos. It should be treated as an actual class or course by the tutor. And I am a complete beginner to German so I'll have to start from scratch.

[cinder patio]

Very true, but they were looking specifically for listening practise, not a whole course as far as I’m aware, and I can’t see the whole video on their website, only on YouTube?

[misty valve]

Yeah, I'm not saying you shouldn't recommend the video. Just add that it's related to a course so people don't watch the whole thing and then get to the end and find out "oh, I could have been doing this course alongside this the whole time".

[cinder patio]

Okay, I’ll try and remember!

Any app is good for beginners, you just need to learn basic grammar and a lot of vocabulary. Almost every app can do that. Using different ones at the same time is not a bad idea either, you get to see different ways of explaining the rules.

Do y'all use/have you ever used any all audio program? Like Pimsleur, Michel Thomas or Language Transfer?

[tardy haven]

@rich ice i recommend glossika for you. has very useful sentences to learn

[undone hemlock]

does the microphone not work on Chrome for this website?

[tardy haven]

it does. u just have to turn it on, the icon must be in the bottom right corner.

[undone hemlock]

Weird, I allowed mic access but it still says "Browser not supported" in the bottom right. Must be an extension or something of mine.

[tardy haven]

ah that happens with the mobile version. it order for it to work sadly you would need a pc or laptop.

[undone hemlock]

Yeah, I'm on Windows 10.

[tardy haven]

huh that is weird. never happened to me before

[undone hemlock]

Latest Win 10, latest Chrome.

[tardy haven]

oh well, if u pause and say the sentence to yourself once it should be enough. it doesnt rate your pronounciation, just keeps it in the website somewhere in the memory tab.

[undone hemlock]

Seems good though, I like the sentences they use

[tardy haven]

yes theyre good. progressively, they will teach you more sentences but within the same topic, they dont throw you random stuff and hope it sticks in your head. i am glad to help someone through this website

[undone hemlock]

Kinda weird that they rated me for B2 at the beginning though, I barely feel at B1 😄

Must've gotten lucky with the answers

[misty valve]

Usually online tests overestimate people's levels. It's fairly common.

[tardy haven]

that is natural haha the same happened to me too. thats ok though, the sentences they use arent too advanced so it should be good for you

u can use it for one week for free and then u have to pay for it, unfortunately

for me it is worth the money

[tardy haven]

thats tru

[undone hemlock]

Yeah, I'll see if I wanna pay. I always have Memrise as a free backup, a bit more scuffed though

[tardy haven]

u know whats better than memrise? clozemaster. it is so underrated. gives you thousands of commonly used words and is so useful

its free i believe

works in the same way as glossika almost

[undone hemlock]

I remember only the first few levels being free on Clozemaster, they had a lot of limitations

[tardy haven]

ah i dont remember correctly

[undone hemlock]

There's stuff like this on Memrise, completely free, just not as good: https://app.memrise.com/course/434640/duolingo-german-sentences-2/

[tardy haven]

but yea must be true then

[tardy haven]

seems to be good enough. hope u learn everything quickly :)

[undone hemlock]

Thanks, slow and steady I'll get there

[tardy haven]

you got this

[ebon cloud]

Clozemaster has certain sets that are free. I use it for vocab review with their 10,000 most common words. It's the only set I've ever needed from the website, so I've never had to spend money on the program.

[carmine canopy]

What kind of sucks about clozemaster is that you can have 20 different conjugations of a verb and they would take up 20 different slots for the “top 1000” words. So you’re not really learning 5000 words should you pick top 5000.

[undone hemlock]

I'm personally too deep into this ~7k course to dare look to another one: https://app.memrise.com/course/198332/all-german-words-with-audio/

It's really well made so far, most of them have audio + a sentence as an example of usage

[carmine canopy]

Now that's extremely interesting.

[cinder patio]

Not all of it is free, but more than enough is.

I love it

I've been using the apps from vhs (Volkshochschul-Verband). They have apps for A1, A2, B1 and B2. I'm currently on A2 and finished A1 last year. They are good and for free. Most importantly you are assigned to a tutor for free that can assist you on writing tasks.

Yeah, it has A1 modules.

Seedlang is good for learning new words too, although their customizability leaves something to be desired.

With Seedlang you can learn CEFR level-appropriate words while balancing learning words based on frequency with theme-appropriate vocabulary needed to pass the speaking section of a Goethe or Telc exam.

[bronze yoke]

I see

What is CEFR

hey guys i need to get a B1 level, i'm somewhat advanced beginner, have studied german for about a year but couldn't usually give it more than 30m a day for long periods of time. i prefer to study with textbook, which is more suited? modern german grammar or basic german?

of course i'm not solely relying on it but it's nice to have a ressource to make flashcard from and follow a certain rhythm

i started with hammer's book so far, but it goes into very deep details about stuff that i'm pretty sure will encounter only once in a lifetime

[carmine canopy]

resource https://www.youtube.com/c/NachtsanderEspressobar/about

[twilit needle]

Thank you, your resource suggestion has been submitted!

[misty valve]

Modern German Grammar has some cool stuff but it's not much of a textbook. It's more like a grammar reference book, like Hammer's. You're not really supposed to use them like a textbook - you're meant to look stuff up in them when you're stuck on a specific topic.

But Basic German is pretty nice. It's a bit minimalistic so I don't know if it's enough on its own.

But you can always combine the two - Basic German to guide you and give exercises, and Modern German Grammar to look up grammar topics.

when you're reading a german book, do you just go through it or do you stop at every word that is new?

[warped mantle]

I would do, when I learn a new language

[misty valve]

Basically, you can go through it in different ways, but for each method, you have to think about what you're gaining and whether it's what you're aiming for.

So both ways are good for different reasons.

I recommend doing a bit of both depending on what you feel like.

[long terrace]

I'm just afraid to still be at page 20 after reading for 2 months

[misty valve]

But also think about what makes it fun for you. There's no point in doing it if you don't enjoy it.

[misty valve]

Sure. It's up to you what makes sense and what you're getting from it.

If your goal is to read the book at a good pace, obviously you can't stop all the time.

But if your goal is to learn individual words, then it doesn't matter if you finish it or how long it takes.

But one thing to consider is that authors tend to reuse the same set of vocabulary a lot throughout a book.

So the further you go, the more you'll start seeing the same words over and over.

Of course it varies a bit by author too, but it's worth keeping in mind.

[long terrace]

my goal is same as everyone else here... fluency in german 😅

but i see your point

[misty valve]

Like for example, let's say you were going to read a book like Harry Potter. At first, you might have no idea about words for magic and wizards and stuff. But obviously those words are going to be used over and over for the whole book.

[long terrace]

ideally i can guess a word meaning based on context

i see, so ideally the start would be rough but as i add the new vocab to anki or whatever i can have an easy breeze through the rest of the book

[misty valve]

Yeah. But again, it depends on the author and type of book, so consider that too.

Like some authors might add new words constantly, especially in some fancy literary stuff.

Or if the topic of the book changes a lot.

But for a straight-forward story, yeah, it should be consistent.

[long terrace]

so harry potter is not of the same hopefully? it's the one i'm trying to read

would it help to read it in english beforehand?

[misty valve]

Hmm, I've never read it, but it's meant to be a book for young adults or children or whatever, so it should be pretty consistent.

Aside from the weird magical terms like spell names and stuff.

But I assume those would be obvious.

[long terrace]

okay, danke vielmals!
