I have been using Duolingo to learn German. I started yesterday. Is there any better apps than Duolingo?

[undone hemlock]

Memrise is pretty good for building vocabulary. I'd recommend this course: https://app.memrise.com/course/198332/all-german-words-with-audio/

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/

How to get started - Part 2

Please make sure to read Part 1 before starting Part 2!

Part 2 – Beyond a Simple Sentence

1: Conjunctions (coordinating and subordinating)
2: Subordinate clause word order
3: Dative case
4: Dative verbs
5: Verbs with two objects (e.g. geben)
6: Prepositions (accusative, dative, and two-way)
7: Spoken past tense (Perfekt)
8: Written past tense (Präteritum)
9: Genitive case
10: Relative clauses
11: Adjective declension

Tips

• Make sure to practice writing and reading simple texts
• Some of these concepts are confusing to start with, so it’s a good idea to ask for help in #questions when you’re unsure
• You should use a declension chart to help with declension to start with, because you won’t be able to memorize it straight away
• After you feel confident with creating sentences, you can start learning the adjective declension properly by using the command >faq adjective declension and reading the guide provided

FAQ not found. I found the following similar entry: Prepositions of Place Part 1.

[proud sinew]

faq Prepositions of Place Part 1

[twilit needle]

Prepositions of Place Part 1

Generally you use the preposition nach when talking about going to countries, cities or directions, for example:
(1) Ich fahre nach Berlin. (I’m going to Berlin.)
(2) Ich gehe nach Westen. (I’m going west.)
(3) Ich fahre nach Deutschland. (I'm going to Germany.)

‼ Note that nach does not work with countries or regions that take an article. In this case you need to replace it with in, for example: Ich fahre in die Schweiz. (I’m going to Switzerland.)
In addition to that you will need to use auf for specific islands, for example: Ich fliege auf die Balearen. (I fly to the Balearic Islands.)
Here you can find a map with countries that take an article: http://i.imgur.com/QRFA2WI.png

🌟 nach is also idiomatically used in nach Hause gehen (to go home)

The preposition zu is used when talking about going to people, or places with a proper name, for example:
(4) Ich gehe zu ihm. (I go to him.)
(5) Ich gehe zum [zu dem] Arzt. (I go to the doctor.)
(6) Ich gehe zu Aldi. (I go to Aldi.)

You use in if you will end up inside a place or location, for example:
(7) Ich gehe in die Kirche. (I go to church.)
(8) Ich gehe ins [in das] Kino. (I go to the cinema.)

You use auf if you will end up on something, or for going to formal events, for example:
(9) Ich klettere auf den Berg. (I climb up the mountain.)
(10) Ich gehe auf die Toilette. (I go to the toilet.)
(11) Ich gehe auf eine Party. (I go to a party.)

🌟 When in doubt, use zu, since you can often replace in and auf with zu, for example:
(12) Ich gehe zur Kirche. (I go to the church.) [but not necessarily inside]
(13) Ich gehe zu einer Party. (I go to a party.)

‼ However, note that you cannot replace zu with in if it would be absurd to speak of going inside:
(14) Ich fahre in die Kirche. (I drive into the church.)

[marsh turret]

hi guys can someone help me with this cheat sheet i found

[marsh turret]

i made it more readable here in my version

but i kinda had to just guess what the random endings meant

[misty valve]

It's a bit overly complicated.

I mean you can reduce the information a lot more than that.

[marsh turret]

woah

would you happen to have something like that

because i regularly look to these

[misty valve]

I can make one.

Oh, I just mean the declension part in the middle btw.

[marsh turret]

and i keep it as a wallpaper so that i dont have to constantly search for the specific one

[misty valve]

The der, -e, all that stuff.

[marsh turret]

yeahh

that was really confusing

[misty valve]

The A B and G columns seem decent. Although I think it's easier to make a separate pronouns chart or something, but that's up to your personal preference.

[marsh turret]

i used this to figure it out but i am not even sure if that is right 😩

[marsh turret]

yeah you are right but i just wanted it all in one compact space and this was the best i found

i think i found it on google

[marsh turret]

🥺 thank you!

[austere flume]

Do you use iPhone?

[misty valve]

How much you want to minimize it also depends on how well you understand it and personal preference. Do you want me to show you the most minimal way I can think of? Or do you rather something nice with a fair bit of info?

[marsh turret]

minimal! so that i can remember the words and not the logic if you get me

[misty valve]

What do you mean by remember the words?

[marsh turret]

like the cases for example

i woundnt need the part about when its used but more the ending

s

[misty valve]

Oh, yeah, I'm only making something for the declension part.

I'll just show you.

You could minimize it to something like this.

But you would have to know how to use it.

[marsh turret]

woah

yeah if i know what that is it would be handy to use

[misty valve]

I'll add a key to it.

[marsh turret]

thank you!

[misty valve]

@marsh turret Does this work for you?

If you don't know declension, it may be hard to understand, but if you do know it, it should be really easy and not much info to memorize.

[marsh turret]

yeah it works!

[vale island]

Yes

faq keyboard

[twilit needle]

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.

Oh wow that natürlich German channel is exactly what I've been looking for, nice one.

[carmine canopy]

does nicos weg teach you nouns and words. or does it just let you practice your listening

[proud sinew]

@carmine canopy Yeah, each lesson comes with exercises and a list of new vocab/phrases.

I wouldn't just use that for learning vocab though.

[carmine canopy]

what do you reccomend for vocab

[proud sinew]

There are a lot of good lists on Google in general. Just search "1000 Most Common German Words" and slowly work on the list. I also really recommend Duolingo for vocab. I know some people tend to criticize Duolingo, but I find it a great resource for vocab and practicing basic grammar skills.

[carmine canopy]

thanks for the reply !

[carmine canopy]

Should I just read a book instead of using duolingo

It doesn’t go into grammar much

[finite vector]

duolingo isnt great for german

i reccomend if youre using software, to use rosetta stone or babbel

[carmine canopy]

Alright

[pastel bramble]

Do you guys think busuu is good for german?

[pastel bramble]

I´ve heard a lot of good things about babbel. But isn´t it a paid resource?

Duolingo is dog water for german.

[carmine canopy]

Why tho

[ebon cloud]

faq duolingo

[twilit needle]

Duolingo

Duolingo is a decent resource to start with if you're a complete beginner, but it's neither efficient nor comprehensive!

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.

If you're looking for guidance or alternatives, check out >faq beginner in our #botchannel .

[carmine canopy]

are either of these free?

[carmine canopy]

i noticed sometimes it is hard to direcrtyl translate words because they need context

[proud sinew]

Yeah, sometimes you'll need to do extra digging to find exact meanings or examples. There's a lot of German-English dictionaries out there that can be helpful

And yeah, Duolingo is definitely not the best software for languages. I mostly use it for basic vocab and to practice concepts, but otherwise, just googling grammar topics more in depth works for me. I'm just broke and want to save money, so don't want to spend a lot on Babbel/Rosetta Stone etc.

I also use Anki for index cards and take the vocab from Duolingo, Youtube videos, etc and study them on my own time

[undone hemlock]

Memrise or an Ankideck for vocab. It gets a bit boring, but it does work if you stick with it. I'd recommend this course: https://app.memrise.com/course/198332/all-german-words-with-audio/

[carmine canopy]

any opinions on clozemaster? is it a good substitute for anki?

[ebon cloud]

I like it as a general vocabulary review because the words are in context.

The most recent update for Clozemaster really improved the vocab lists imo. Only downside to me is that premade vocab lists can be less effective. With Anki, you can choose your own vocab to study and make your own examples. I would recommend Clozemaster more to people who already have a good foundation of vocabulary but want a refresher.

[carmine canopy]

I don't think so. Learning by frequency is good, but you also need niche vocabulary to pass exams or talk about certain things.

Additionally, I don't think being tested only four times about a word (assuming it is right each time) is a good test of one's memory- not to mention that you can easily game the prompt by testing the first letter without submitting the answer.

It's useful to an extent, but I think for some people such usefulness would be outlived.

Hallo! Ich wolle die Tagesschau in 100 Sekunden sehen, aber ich finde keine Website mit Untertiteln (französisch Untertiteln). Weiß jemand, wo ich das finden kann?

[bleak compass]

Ich denke nicht, dass es das gibt. Es gibt keinen Grund die Tagesschau zu übersetzen. Versuch es mit deutsche Untertitel. Und herrlich gesagt die Tagesschau ist nur sprachmäßig interessant, wenn du schon sehr gut Deutsch kannst.

Ok, danke, eigentlich sollte ich das Niveau dafür haben (mein Lehrer empfiehlt sogar, die Nachrichten zu sehen), aber ich bin ziemlich schlecht.

How long does it take to speedrun Nicros Weg A1?

The first few units are incredibly easy, but I fear I will miss some important concept or practice, and regret it if I jump directly to A2 (the placement test suggests b1, but my knowledge is too scattered for that, I think).

This is quite specific, but is anyone aware of a good audio resource (for listening in the car or during idle time) where the difficulty of concepts covered starts at a relatively lower level, and then gradually increases?

Can someone point me to a solid non-learning book list / reading list based on level (anything between B2 and C1). It doesn't have to be written by a German speaking author, meaning that translations are also welcome. I was thinking about reading DUNE in German, but that might be a tidy bit too hard for me at the moment. Thanks in advance.

[lean badge]

Hey man I think you should really read dune. I did the same thing a while back(5 months I think) with a book series I wanted to read(Zauberschiffe) and it was a rocky road but I went in about 4 months from 10-20 pages per day translating something like 7 words per page to 70(today) translating like never. It's worth the effort. I recommend Anki cards for the things you want to remember (I have like 4000 cards atm)

I see that there are 2 big chonky Anki decks as recommendations. Is it recommended to do both at the same time or finish one first?

[misty valve]

Best option is making your own decks based on words you want to know. You can take cards out of existing decks to make new ones, if you want.

Other than that, it's up to whatever you prefer.

[primal arrow]

Yeah, I just saw that ability. (First time Anki user)

Thanks for the help!

any suggestions on grammar books I can order for A1-B1 or something like that? I prefer physical books over reading on a screen. If not reading material, any sort of video courses would be helpful (I'm thinking about going with the German with Laura grammar videos)

Maybe.

It's not uncommon for it to work like that.

But tbh every person has their own way of dealing with podcasts so we only really link them at all so people can check they got the right one on their preferred podcast app/source.

someone has probably already said this but oh well. if you're looking to watch german TV shows or shows with german sub/dub but can't find any good ones on Netflix/Hulu/whatever, if you already have a vpn you can connect to Germany and a lot of shows will have german sub/dub available and even some shows that aren't available in your country will show up. I'm currently watching community with german dub and sub (although german subs are notoriously unhelpful). if you wanna invest in a vpn I recommend nordvpn!

Hi! Did anyone try to write a top 100/200 german words list? If yes, can you share them?

[carmine canopy]

Hi there. Hope is the right place to ask. Yesterday I joined your server and I admire your wonderful idea with helping German therefore, I would like to share some materials as well.
Some time ago, I have subscribed to GermanTakeaways and they sent me every week a mail with materials. Pretty sure I have them all.
Would be helpful for this server?
If yes, would love to share and also would appreciate if I could receive instructions in sharing (this is my first experience with servers)

Add an Anki deck or Memrise course for vocab.

[quiet robin]

is there a way to throw X amount of words/day into an anki deck?

should a1 be reasonable by end of year?

absolutely, you can get even farther than A1

is there a clear roadmap for a1?

[misty valve]

If you look in the resource list, you can find some resources that show vocab and grammar for specific levels.

You can use that as a rough guideline.

And then, like Citrox said, practice the skills a lot (reading, writing, listening, speaking) until you feel like you meet the criteria.

I've been seeing a lot of ads recently for Lingopie, has anyone tried it out? If so, what did you think of it?

[shut barn]

does anyone recommend a complete book for A1? I've checked out all the resources but they're all a bit different from each other

i would really appreciate that!

i already have menschen, netzwerk but they all just provide exercises rather than clear explanations about grammar

[hard sinew]

i am reading Starten wir for my A1

[primal hornet]

[shut barn]

[shut barn]

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/

Study Vocabulary

Study Vocabulary
Let’s take a look at differences in meanings between studieren, lernen, unterrichten, lehren and beibringen.

So what does studieren mean? Pfff, to study ofc, duh. Well, NO! Studieren is used only in the sense of studying at a university (or college).
(1) Ich studiere Mathematik. = “I study math as a uni student.”
To study as in to learn, to practice etc. translates to lernen.
(2) Ich lerne Mathematik. = “I’m learning/practicing math (for school).”

Now let’s compare the rest of the verbs - unterrichten, lehren and beibringen. They all mean to teach but are used in different contexts.
Unterrichten means to teach at an institute (school, language school) or some other formal way of teaching (private tutoring).
(3) Meine Schwester unterrichtet Deutsch am Goethe Institut = “My sister teaches German at the Goethe Institute.”
Lehren means to teach but as a tutor at a university.
(4) Herr Arrem lehrt die Kunst der Memes an der Nationalmemeuniversität Wien. = “Mister Arrem teaches the Art of Memes at the National Meme University of Vienna.”
Beibringen is more general, usually used with skills that you learn outside of an institute.
(5) Mein Vater hat mir beigebracht, wie man Fahrrad fährt. = “My father taught me how to ride a bike.”

🌟 Bonus verb üben: to practice is üben in German, not praktizieren.

Hallo leute... Favourite website or app to quickly check the gender of a word?

[carmine canopy]

Google "der die oder das (word)"

Google will display a table with the correct gender and plural form.

Or else you can use simple dictionaries like duden.de - I don't think there‘s a fast website for that.

[autumn beacon]

Yes i have been using duden for that

Now that I try with google, it seems faster because the "der die or das" gets autocompleted on the search bar once you used it
