How to get started - Part 2

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

Part 2 โ€“ 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 (Prรคteritum)
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 itโ€™s a good idea to ask for help in #questions when youโ€™re unsure
  • You should use a declension chart to help with declension to start with, because you wonโ€™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

German letters

Being able to type German letters is quite important!

  • Schon = already. Schรถn = beautiful.
  • Mutter = mother. Mรผtter = mothers.

How to? There are several options.
๐Ÿ”ธ Use a program like AutoHotkey. Download the program from https://www.autohotkey.com/ and read the pinned message in #resources for instructions on how to set it up. It can be used with any keyboard layout and the hotkeys can be customised.

๐Ÿ”ธ US International layout: this is basically just a US keyboard layout with extra characters, so if you're using a US-style keyboard or something similar, the transition is very easy! Everything stays as you know it, except that some of the symbol keys can be used to create the special characters. For example " + a = รค. You can also do RightAlt + s = รŸ.
To use US International on Windows, look for the Region & Language options and switch your selected keyboard layout to US International.

๐Ÿ”ธ If you are on Mac, there are two simple possibilities:

  • The accent menu - Pressing and holding a letter key will display multiple variants of the letter, including umlauts, which can then be selected using the number keys.
  • Dead keys - Pressing Option + u, then pressing a, u, or o, respectively, will display the umlaut variant of that letter. You can also press Option + s to enter รŸ.
    See this support article for more information:

More alternatives

๐Ÿ”ธ Alternatively, you can memorise the altcodes for German characters. Learning them is easier than you might think! Simply hold Alt and type the numbers on your numpad:
รค = 132; ร„ = 142
รถ = 148; ร– = 153
รผ = 129; รœ = 154
รŸ = 225
๐Ÿ”ธ If all else fails, you can use ASCII conventions for the characters: add an e to other vowels, and write ss or sz for รŸ. For example:
ae = รค
oe = รถ
ue = รผ
ss = รŸ
But this is discouraged since it's harder to read and... looks ugly. It is only done in situations where alternatives are impossible (fonts with no unicode etc).

faq duolingo

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.

faq umlaut

lean flickerBOT
#
Umlauts

Umlauts - รค, รถ, รผ
Along with the 26 letters of its alphabet, German also possesses the umlaut, a diacritic in the form of two dots placed over the letters a, o, u to form รค, รถ, and รผ. Umlautmeans something akin to altered soundand this is reflected in the fact that the pronunciation of the umlauted vowels are quite different from the non-umlauted vowels.

๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ How do I type รค, รถ, รผ?
See >faq keyboard on how to type umlauts.

If you cannot type the umlauts, you can add an e to the non-diacritic vowel to represent an umlaut. For example, you can represent รถffnenas oeffnen.

Umlauts can never be replaced with their non-diacritic versions. In other words, you cannot replace รถ with o when spelling words like รถffnen. Some words only differ by the vowel sound, for example schwul(gay) and schwรผl(humid, sultry).

๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ How do I pronunce รค, รถ, รผ?
See the next few pages for more info on pronunciation.

How to get started

The simplest way to learn German is to find topics you donโ€™t understand yet and search for explanations of them. This list provides you with a guide for which topics to learn if you are completely new to German. Type the topic into Google (or YouTube) and start learning!

Introduction

1: Alphabet (especially รค, รผ, รถ and รŸ)
2: Basic greetings (hello, goodbye, etc.)

Part 1 - Simple Sentence

1: Noun gender & plurals
2: Nominative case (What are cases?)
3: Nominative pronouns (I, you, he, she, etc.)
4: Verbs in present tense
5: Definite/indefinite articles
6: Accusative case (for nouns)
7: Accusative pronouns
8: Word order of simple sentences
9: How to ask questions

See Part 2 on the next page.

Tips
  • Always learn the gender of a noun when you learn a new noun
  • Learn to use a translation dictionary (e.g. dict.cc, leo.org)
  • Use >faq resources to see our list of German learning resources
  • For listening and pronunciation practice, try watching movies or videos (incl. YouTube)
  • You can listen to pronunciation for words on websites like dict.cc, forvo.com, and others
  • Practice writing sentences every day (and asking people to correct them)
  • Ask as many questions as possible
  • Donโ€™t be scared to make mistakes!!!! If you donโ€™t let yourself make mistakes, you will never be able to learn German

How to get started - Part 2

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

Part 2 โ€“ 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 (Prรคteritum)
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 itโ€™s a good idea to ask for help in #questions when youโ€™re unsure
  • You should use a declension chart to help with declension to start with, because you wonโ€™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

Flashcard Tips

When creating flashcards it is not enough to just have a single german word on one side, and a single word translation on the other side of the card. You want to provide details that match your learning style and help you better understand what the word means.

For nouns

At the very least, include the gender and the plural form. E.g. Der Mann | Die Mรคnner or Der Mann -:er Whichever form helps you recognise the plural ending and any vowel changes. You may also want to add a note for weak masculine nouns. (See >explain N-Declension.)

For verbs

Include the infinitive, the preterite (simple past) and the past participle (perfect form). E.g. rennen | rannte | gerannt or for a separable verb anrufen | rief an | angerufen. For irregular verbs, you may want to list all present tense conjugations. You may also want to include if the verb uses haben or sein as its auxiliary.

For all words

Adding an example sentence is important for helping you understand the usage and context of a word (dwds.de and linguee.com are good sources of example sentences). You may also want to add multiple translations for words that have multiple meanings. E.g. Die Auflage can mean both a requirement, and the edition of a book. You may also want to try picture cues or audio recordings (possible sources for voice recordings include dict.cc, linguee.com, duden.de, and wiktionary.de).

Close Passages

Flashcards based on close passages can be a very effective way to learn new vocabulary. E.g. put Ich kaufe Lebensmittel im [blank] ein. on one side of the flashcard, and Ich kaufe Lebensmittel im *Markt* ein; der Markt, die Mรคrkte - market. This places vocabulary in context to help you understand its meaning and usages, and also provides you with whole phrases that help jolt your memory when trying to remember an individual word.

Recall vs. Reproduction

Flashcards are most effective when they train your ability to reproduce knowledge. I.e. Seeing the word Baum and recognising it as tree is a lot less effective than being able to look at a picture of a tree and know it means der Baum. Taking that a step further you want to be able to also know that that while die Struktur also means 'tree', it doesn't actually mean the plant. When creating flashcards, try to design them with these concepts in mind. E.g. Using minimal or no flashcards that show you a german word and ask you to recall what it means in english, and instead focus on the other way around: giving you an english word and asking you to recall what it means in german.

Other commonly used flashcard apps you may want to check out include:

DACH

The letters D, A and CH are very common abbreviations for the countries Germany (Deutschland, its German name), Austria (Austria, its Latin name) and Switzerland (Confoederatio Helvetica, its Latin name). These abbreviations are found, for example, on licence plates. Germany and Austria also have two-letter abbreviations, which are DE and AT. These, alongside the Swiss one, are used among other things in URLs.

Incidentally, the word Dach is German for โ€œroofโ€, so the name of the channel #archived-culture-study-visa is a pun: it literally means โ€œliving under the roofโ€, which can be seen as a metaphor for the cultural similarities between these countries.
Despite not included in the abbreviation, DACH may also include other German-speaking countries, especially Liechtenstein.

Dative

The dative case (der Dativ) is one of the four cases of the German language. A case affects how a noun or noun phrase is inflected, and indicates the role of the noun or noun phrase in a clause.

How do I decline in the dative case?

Nouns, pronouns, and adjective declension is completely different compared to the nominative case. See >explain adjective declension for a full explanation.

**AI-generated text**

This FAQ explains rules and advice for using text AI tools such as ChatGPT.

๐Ÿ”น **Server rules regarding this topic:**
  • Do not answer any questions by using AI-generated text.
  • Do not ask for AI-generated text to be corrected.
๐Ÿ”น **Problems with using AI for answers and corrections**
  • No fact-checking: Tools like ChatGPT are very good at writing texts and often provide answers that sound good, but they are not capable of fact-checking their own answers.

  • Fake information: Itโ€™s very common for these programs to make up fake or incomplete information, which is explained convincingly but is mostly wrong.

  • Non-deterministic: The information is also partially randomly generated, meaning that if you ask the same question multiple times, you will usually end up with different answers.

  • No language knowledge: It shouldn't be used for grammar or vocabulary questions, as it doesn't understand linguistics, nuance, or how a native speaker might actually use a given word or grammar point.

  • Missing context: When correcting texts it needs to understand what the writer was trying to express. As such it may miss mistakes or correct things that don't need to be corrected.

๐Ÿ”น **Reasons NOT to use generative AI for learning**
  • It delays the development of important skills in language learning.
    Relying too much on AI generated texts or solutions may get in the way of learning the necessary skills of language acquisition, such as how to look up words or phrases in a dictionary, using critical thinking, or actually applying learned concepts.

  • AI is not designed to guide learners.
    If you ask an AI a question, it will provide you with information, whereas if you ask a human, they will ideally ask you to show your understanding and offer advice on how to find the answer.

  • AI output requires scrutiny
    AI output must be verified, but beginners to German or to language learning often lack the knowledge or experience to do so.

๐Ÿ”น **Good uses of AI-generated text**
  • Ask ChatGPT to come up with some story ideas that you can write about.

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

๐Ÿ—จ 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:

faq negation

lean flickerBOT
#
Negation

Negations or negative sentences in German are formed with either kein or nicht.

You use kein if you want to negate nouns with an indefinite article or without an article, for example:
(1) Ich besitze kein Auto. (I don't own a car.)
(2) Ich habe keinen Hunger. (I'm not hungry.)

โ€ผ kein is always placed right before the noun you want to negate. Also note that you need to decline kein.

If you want to negate anything else you use nicht, for example:
(3) Ich schlafe nicht. (I don't sleep.) [verb]
(4) Ich habe gestern nicht geduscht. (I didn't shower yesterday.) [verb]
(5) Ich gehe nicht gerne schwimmen. (I don't like to go swimming.) [adverb]
(6) Es ist nicht heiรŸ. (It's not hot.) [adjective]
(7) Ich habe nicht dich, sondern ihn gerufen. (I didn't call you, but him.) [pronoun]
(8) Das ist nicht Peters Fahrrad, sondern meins. (This isn't Peters bicycle, but mine.) [proper noun]
(9) Der Zug kommt nicht um 18 Uhr an. (The train doesn't arrive at 6pm.) [preposition]
(10) Ich habe nicht das Essen bezahlt, sondern die Getrรคnke. (I didn't pay for the food, but for the drinks.) [definite article]

โ€ผ Note that nicht almost always comes before the word it negates, unless you want to negate a verb.
If that's the case, it depends on the tense of the verb and on whether there is an auxiliary verb or not. nicht is placed right after the verb if the verb is in present or past tense. For compound tenses or when the sentence has an auxiliary it is placed before the verb.

How to get started - Part 2

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

Part 2 โ€“ 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 (Prรคteritum)
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 itโ€™s a good idea to ask for help in #questions when youโ€™re unsure
  • You should use a declension chart to help with declension to start with, because you wonโ€™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

If you want something corrected, you can put it in a Google Doc and share a link with permission level ยปcan suggestยซ in #writing .

Don't ask us to translate something for you outright: that takes professional time and effort and we're not here for that. You can try your luck with deepl.com.
For single words, use dict.cc or another dictionary, it'll be quicker.

If you want to know if/how a word can be used, provide some context to help us understand the situation.

Don't ask us to do your homework or exams for you! Show us your best attempt at something and try to pinpoint what exactly you don't understand.

faq eszett

lean flickerBOT
#
Eszett

The รŸ, called Eszett or scharfes S, is a letter of the Standard German alphabet.

๐Ÿ—จ How to type it?
If you're on a US keyboard, you can use the US International layout and type รŸ with [right alt] + s. There is also an altcode (press [alt], type the numbers and release [alt]):
รŸ = alt+225

๐Ÿ—จ What about capital แบž?
Capital แบž is only used in typography and all caps words (and not even always). It never occurs as the first letter of a word, so you will never really need to be able to write it. ;)

๐Ÿ—จ How to read it?
It is always read as an unvoiced [s], like in the English word ma__ss__.

๐Ÿ—จ When to รŸ and when to ss?
The pronunciation is the same, but they're used in different positions.
แบž is used after long vowels, which are vowels pronounced for slightly longer than otherwise (FuรŸ, StraรŸe); compare the English m__i__nd and m__i__tten: same letter, different length, thus different pronunciation.
แบž is also used after diphthongs, which are groups of vowels pronounced together (gieรŸen, PreuรŸen).
ss is used after short vowels (Schloss, Abfluss). This also occurs for ck vs k and similar: double consonant means short (even in English, see mitten above!)
ss is also found after diphthongs and long vowels if the two Ses belong to separate parts; this can happen in prefixes (aussteigen) and compound words (Moossee).

๐Ÿ—จ I've seen something that doesn't follow these rules! โ€ผ
Not to worry! The above rules apply for Standard German and you can follow them religiously. If you find exceptions, these are the possible reasons:

  • The writer or text follows old rules, where all instances of ss in the same word became รŸ regardless of the vowel.
  • The writer or text comes from Switzerland, where รŸ is seldom used, if at all.

faq umlaut

lean flickerBOT
#
Umlauts

Umlauts - รค, รถ, รผ
Along with the 26 letters of its alphabet, German also possesses the umlaut, a diacritic in the form of two dots placed over the letters a, o, u to form รค, รถ, and รผ. Umlautmeans something akin to altered soundand this is reflected in the fact that the pronunciation of the umlauted vowels are quite different from the non-umlauted vowels.

๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ How do I type รค, รถ, รผ?
See >faq keyboard on how to type umlauts.

If you cannot type the umlauts, you can add an e to the non-diacritic vowel to represent an umlaut. For example, you can represent รถffnenas oeffnen.

Umlauts can never be replaced with their non-diacritic versions. In other words, you cannot replace รถ with o when spelling words like รถffnen. Some words only differ by the vowel sound, for example schwul(gay) and schwรผl(humid, sultry).

๐Ÿ—จ๏ธ How do I pronunce รค, รถ, รผ?
See the next few pages for more info on pronunciation.

faq genitiv

lean flickerBOT
#
Genitive

The genitive case (der Genitiv) is one of the four cases of the German language. A case affects how a noun or noun phrase is inflected, and indicates the role of the noun or noun phrase in a clause.

How do I decline in the genitive case?

Nouns and adjective declension is completely different compared to the nominative case. Pronoun declension does exist but it is virtually never used. See >explain adjective declension for a full explanation.

German letters

Being able to type German letters is quite important!

  • Schon = already. Schรถn = beautiful.
  • Mutter = mother. Mรผtter = mothers.

How to? There are several options.
๐Ÿ”ธ Use a program like AutoHotkey. Download the program from https://www.autohotkey.com/ and read the pinned message in #resources for instructions on how to set it up. It can be used with any keyboard layout and the hotkeys can be customised.

๐Ÿ”ธ US International layout: this is basically just a US keyboard layout with extra characters, so if you're using a US-style keyboard or something similar, the transition is very easy! Everything stays as you know it, except that some of the symbol keys can be used to create the special characters. For example " + a = รค. You can also do RightAlt + s = รŸ.
To use US International on Windows, look for the Region & Language options and switch your selected keyboard layout to US International.

๐Ÿ”ธ If you are on Mac, there are two simple possibilities:

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

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

๐Ÿ—จ 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:

Germans tend to use the word doch in lots of different situations. But what does it mean, and when do you use it? โ‰

๐Ÿ”† Using doch to contradict negative statements ๐Ÿ”†

Gender patterns

Unfortunately, many German words don't have immediately clear clues that reveal it, but thankfully, many common words do follow patterns that reveal their gender.
In general, you are advised to learn the article together with the word (and its plural!).
Plural forms always use die and follow plural declension rules, which are the same for all genders (yay ๐ŸŽ‰).
For compound words, remember that only the last word matters.
Type >explain grammatical gender for an explanation on grammatical gender.

Here's a list of patterns to recognise word gender.
Note that exceptions may apply.

Perfekt
How to form the Perfekt tense

The Perfekt tense is formed by combining an auxiliary verb (haben or sein) with the past participle form of the main verb.

For example, if I want to write the past tense of โ€œessenโ€/โ€œto eatโ€, such as in the English sentence โ€œI ateโ€, I first need to know the auxiliary verb that goes with essen (which happens to be haben), and the past participle form of essen (which is gegessen).

I can then combine them with the usual verb conjugation and word order rules, as such:
Ich habe gegessen. -> I ate. / I have eaten.
Ich habe das Brot gegessen. -> I ate the bread. / I have eaten the bread.

How to determine the past participle?

Just look it up in the dictionary! There are a few general patterns you can also learn about, but a dictionary will pretty much always list the past participle somewhere near the verb itself.

When to use haben and when to use sein as the auxiliary verb?

The basic rules are:
โ€ข Transitive verbs (verbs which take an accusative object) use haben
โ€ข Intransitive verbs which describe a change of location or change of state use sein
โ€ข Other intransitive verbs use haben

This may not be a 100% reliable set of rules, so if in doubt, you can always use a dictionary to verify the correct auxiliary. Also note that there are a few regional variations.

Cases

Cases
German has four grammatical cases (der Fall or der Kasus in German): nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive. A case alters a noun, pronoun, adjective, etc., in some way to mark its grammatical function in a phrase, clause, or sentence. For example, the main function of the nominative (der Nominativ) case is to mark the subject in a sentence:

Ich liebe die deutsche Sprache!

In this sentence, the pronoun ich represents the first person subject and is in the nominative case. Every noun, pronoun, adjective, etc. has form in every case and it is very important to learn all of them. For example, the accusative form of ich is mich:

Die deutsche Sprache liebt mich!

See >explain adjective declension to get started on that. Don't get discouraged by how much there is, it takes some time master.

To see an explanation of the usages of every case, see their individual articles:
>explain nominative
>explain accusative
>explain dative
>explain genitive

faq Best way to learn German

Factors that influence learning a language

The following factors (and many others) can influence how easily or quickly you learn German. Remember that everyone is different and these factors will influence different people in different ways.

Native language

As an example, if your native language is English, you may need more time than someone who speaks Dutch.

Previous language learning

Some learners find it easier to learn German if they have already learned a foreign language, or if they have a natural ability to learn languages.

Methods

Some are able to identify what type of learner they are, and leverage that to their benefit.

Discipline and Motivation

Learning a language is fun and exciting at first, but it can be easy to lose motivation and become less disciplined very quickly.

Consistency

Learning a little bit each day every week is generally considered better than studying for several hours, one day per week.

Grammar

The time needed to acquire grammar passively is quite large, so German learners who actively study grammar typically make less grammar mistakes as they progress.

Exposure and immersion

Interacting with native speakers and consuming native content such as the news, magazines, books, movies, podcasts, etc. can help tremendously with achieving an idiomatic usage of the language.

Training each ability equally

Listening, reading, speaking, writing, translating and interpreting are all various abilities associated with language learning. Training these abilities equally is important to ensure that a person can not only pass a language test, but also have the ability to use the language in various contexts while demonstrating great control over grammar.

faq two-way prepositions

Two-way prepositions

Two-way prepositions (or dual prepositions) are prepositions that govern the accusative or dative case. Ten prepositions have this property, namely:

an     auf      entlang    hinter    in
neben  รผber     unter      vor       zwischen

Generally, these prepositions are used with the accusative if they express a direction or change of position. They are used with the dative if they express location.

For example, the verb etw. an etw. hรคngen can be used to express both meanings depending on the intention:

Ich hรคnge das Bild an die Wand. (I am hanging the picture on the wall.)
Das Bild hรคngt an der Wand. (The picture is hanging on the wall.)

Expressing direction vs. location

It is important to note that the accusative should only be used if something has moved from one position to another. If movement has been indicated, but the location has not changed, then the dative should be used. For example,

Der Hund lรคuft in den Park. (The dog ran (from somewhere) into the park.)
Der Hund lรคuft im Park (herum). (The dog is running in the park.)

The dative is usually used with verbs of arriving, appearing and disappearing

Even though these verbs indicate direction, they are still used with dative rather than accusative.

Sie kamen am Bahnhof an.
Sie landeten auf dem Mond.
Das Pferd verschwand hinter dem Berg.
