faq 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.
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.

sub ouija
sub translation
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.
At the very least, include the gender and the plural form. E.g. Der Mann | Die Männer 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.)
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.
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).

faq spoken past tense
FAQ not found. I found the following similar entry: Past Tense.
faq past 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 “essen”/“to eat”, such as in the English sentence “I ate”, 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.
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.
The basic rules are:
• Transitive verbs (verbs which take an accusative object) use haben
• Intransitive verbs which describe a change of location or change of state use sein
• 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.

faq 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.)
faq Formal and informal speech
You may have heard of du vs. Sie. What's the difference?
Du is informal speech, and you use it when talking to friends, family, children, young people, and on the internet. The verb meaning to be on du-basis with someone is duzen, and you can use it to ask whether it's ok to switch from Sie to du. While talking to multiple people on informal basis, the plural pronoun is ihr.
- Hast du Hunger?
- Du bist ein Idiot.
- Ich komme mit dir.
- Was macht ihr?
Sie (note that the capitalisation is important here) is formal speech, and it's used with strangers, older people, on the workplace (unless you've agreed to use du instead), and in other formal situations. The counterpart to duzen is siezen. This pronoun can be used both for singular and plural, so, when you're addressing multiple people formally, you use Sie. Grammatically, Sie declines like the 3rd person plural pronoun sie, even when talking to just one person.
- Haben Sie Hunger?
- Sie sind ein Idiot.
- Ich komme mit Ihnen.
- Was machen Sie?

faq Akkusativ
Accusative
The accusative case (der Akkusativ) 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 accusative case?
Feminine and neuter nouns and adjectives are the same as nominative. Masculine nouns, adjectives (and weak nouns) gain an -en ending:
Ich esse den/einen/keinen kleinen Apfel.
Personal pronouns differ for:
ich --> mich
du --> dich
er --> ihn
wir --> uns
ihr --> euch
For a full explanation see >explain adjective declension
🗨 When do I use the accusative case?
The accusative case is mainly used:
- to mark the direct object of many transitive verbs
Ich lese einen Roman.
Er hat die schöne Frau ermordet.
Sie besitzen kein Auto.
- after some prepositions
Danke für deine Hilfe!
Ohne dich kann ich nicht leben.
Sie hatten keine Einwände gegen den Plan.
The following prepositions are always followed by the accusative case:
bis, durch, für, gegen, ohne, um
- to indicate movement in a particular direction in two-way prepositions
Er steigt auf den Gipfel.
Sie hängt das Bild an die Wand.
Ich gehe gleich ins Bett. (ins = in das)
- by adverbials of time and measurement
A definite length or point in time:
Ich habe den ganzen Tag geschlafen.
Sie kommt nächste Woche zurück.
A measurement:
Das Kind ist vier Jahre alt.
Das Tier ist einen Meter groß.
Expressing distance with verbs of motion:
Ich ging die Treppe hinauf.
Ich lief den ganzen Weg zu Fuß.
- in common greetings and wishes
Guten Morgen/Tag/Abend!
Gute Besserung!
Herzlichen Glückwunsch!
Here there is an implicit verb such as 'wünschen', where the greeting/wish is the direct object.
faq Dativ
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.
🗨 When do I use the dative case?
The dative case has a great number of usages, many of which are idiomatic, but is mainly used:
- to mark the indirect object of many transitive verbs (the indirect object is that which receives the result of an action):
Ich habe dir ein Bier gekauft.
Sie gibt dem Mann das Buch.
Er zeigte ihm seinen Führerschein.
- to mark the object of some transitive verbs:
Dir fehlen die richtigen Materialien.
Es fällt mir gleich bestimmt wieder ein.
Das gefällt ihr gar nicht.
- after some prepositions:
Ich komme aus den USA.
Komm mit mir.
Ich lerne seit vielen Jahren Deutsch.
The following prepositions are always followed by the dative case:
aus, außer, bei, gegenüber, mit, nach, seit, von, zu
- after two-way prepositions when they do not indicate movement:
Das Bild hängt jetzt an der Wand.
Er geht im Wald. (he is roaming in the woods)
Sie steht vor mir.
- to show possession, mainly of clothing or body parts:
Ich habe mir in die Finger geschnitten.
Er hat ihr die Nase gebrochen.
Die Mütze fiel mir vom Kopf.
- with many adjectives:
Ich war mir nicht sicher.
Ist dir kalt?
Er ist seinem Bruder sehr ähnlich.

faq 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.

faq Pasive
FAQ not found. I found the following similar entries: Stative Passive, Passiv, Passive.
faq Passive
Passive Voice
In English and German, a verb can have one of two voices which describe the relationship between the verb and the subject. These voices are the active voice and passive voice.
Typically, we use the active voice, where the subject is the doer or agent of the action. For example:
The man eats the apple.
In this sentence, the agent (the man) is acting upon (by eating) the object (the apple).
In the passive voice, the subject is the receiver or patient of the action. This typically places the emphasis on the patient or action, and the agent can be left out altogether if it is unknown or irrelevant. For example, the above sentence converted into the passive voice becomes:
The apple is being eaten.
In this example, the patient (the apple) is being acted upon (by being eaten) by an unknown agent.
German offers two passive forms: the Vorgangspassiv and the Zustandspassiv. The Vorgangspassiv refers to the process of an action, while the Zustandspassiv refers to the state of an action. The Vorgangspassiv is more often used and relates closely to the active voice. See >explain Vorgangspassiv for an explanation of the Vorgangspassiv, and see >explain Stative Passive for an explanation of Zustandspassiv.

explain Vorgangspassiv
Vorgangspassiv
The Vorgangspassiv is formed with werden as the finite/conjugated verb and the past participle of the main verb (or action verb) in the active voice sentence.
For example, when we translate The man eats the apple., we get:
Der Mann isst den Apfel.
When this sentence is converted into its passive voice equivalent, several things happen:
- The finite verb becomes the equivalent conjugation for werden.
isst-->wird - The main verb is then converted into its past participle and placed at the end of the clause, when possible.
isst-->gegessen - The accusative object becomes the (nominative) subject.
den Apfel-->Der Apfel - The subject is indicated with the preposition
vonor simply left out altogether.Der Mann-->(vom Mann)
Putting this together, we create the passive voice sentence:
Der Apfel wird (vom Mann) gegessen.
‼ Only the accusative object of a verb can become the subject in a passive sentence. This means verbs that govern a dative, genitive, or prepositional object can never become the subject. Instead, the object remains as it was.
For example, the verb helfen governs a dative object. An example with it in an active sentence would be:
Der Mann hat dem Kollegen geholfen.
When converted to the passive voice, dem Kollegen does not change case:
Dem Kollegen wurde (vom Mann) geholfen.
This applies equally to verbs that govern genitive and prepositonal objects:
Der Toten wurde gedacht.
Über das Thema wird kaum gesprochen.
Tenses & Moods
Present: Der Apfel wird gegessen.
Simple Past: Der Apfel wurde gegessen.
Future: Der Apfel wird gegessen werden.
Present Perfect: Der Apfel ist gegessen worden.
Past Perfect: Der Apfel war gegessen worden.
Future Perfect: Der Apfel wird gegessen worden sein.

explain Stative Passive
Stative Passive (Zustandspassiv)
The passive voice with werden (Vorgangspassiv) refers to the process of an action; it indicates that an action is taking place. The resulting state of this action can be indicated with a different version of the passive voice called the Stative Passive (Zustandspassiv). This form uses sein instead of werden as its auxiliary verb. For example:
Das Fenster ist zerbrochen. (The window is broken)
Transitive verbs that are valid in the Vorgangspassiv can typically be used in the Zustandspassiv and vice versa. The Zustandspassiv, however, tends to prefer verbs that have a clear end state, such as: zerstören, öffnen, schließen.
Vorgangspassiv vs Zustandspassiv
The difference between the two passive voice forms is best illustrated with an example:
Der Tresor war verschlossen, aber wir haben nicht gesehen, wie er verschlossen wurde.
The safe was locked but we did not see how it was locked.
In the first clause, the state of the safe is being discussed. The process of locking the safe was completed and the safe reached a condition of being locked. The last clause concentrates on the process of locking the safe, namely how it was done. The safe has somehow reached a state of being locked, but this process was not observed.
As the Vorgangspassiv discusses a process, it often relates to the English progressive aspect, but this is never true for the Zustandspassiv. For example, the English sentence:
The product is being packed.
Can be translated as:
Die Ware wird verpackt.
But cannot be translated as:
Die Ware ist verpackt.
This loses the implication of a process, which the English progressive aspect and Vorgangspassiv possess. Instead, this sentence indicates that this process is complete and the product is now packed. Thus, it would be an acceptable translation for:
The product has been packed.
faq also und so
FAQ not found. I found the following similar entry: so und also.
faq so und also
The German “also”
This word means “so, therefore”. It is used in the beginning of a sentence to show that what you’re about to say follows from what you said before:
(1) Er war müde, also ging er schlafen. (He was tired, so he went to sleep.)
You can put it in the middle of a sentence too, then it shows that you’re going back a topic or are reminding of it:
(2) Ich habe also mit ihm geredet… (and so/as I said, I spoke to him…)
A very similar use is also to start a sentence with a dragged out aaalso (=aaanyway).
⚠ You cannot use so in these sentences!
The German “so”
So has a few uses. Most of them correspond pretty directly to English “like this/that”. Perhaps the most normal use of it is to answer a “how” (wie) question:
(3) Wie geht das? — So! (How does one do that? — Like this!)
You can of course also use it this way if no one asked you a question:
(4) Er lief so herum. (He walked around like that. [could indicate e.g. walking style or clothing, depends on context])
Together with an indefinite noun it indicates that you care about the properties of that noun, and not the noun itself:
(5) Ich will so ein Haus. (I want a house like that [but not necessarily this particular one].)
Note that here, the proper question is not wie but was für ein:
(6) Was für ein Spiel willst du spielen? — So eins. (What kind of game do you want to play? — One like that)
Another very common way to use it is for emphasizing a size or amount. Just like in English, you may drag out the so for a bit to emphasize it even more:
(7) Das ist so schön! (This is so beautiful!)
The English “also”
English “also/too” straigtforwardly translates to German auch. There is no relation to German so/also here:
(8) Ich habe ihn auch gesehen. (I also saw him. / I saw him too.)
faq how to get started
The simplest way to learn German is to find topics you don’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!

faq how to ask a question
If you want something corrected, you can put it in a Google Doc and share a link with permission level »can suggest« 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.

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!

ex keyboard
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.
🔸 Use a program like AutoHotkey to automatically type the symbols you need when you type certain shortcuts: https://www.autohotkey.com/
🔸 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:
ä = 132; Ä = 142
ö = 148; Ö = 153
ü = 129; Ü = 154
ß = 225
🔸 If all else fails, you can use ASCII conventions for the characters: add an e to other vowels, and write ss or sz for ß. For example:
ae = ä
oe = ö
ue = ü
ss = ß
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).

1: Alphabet (especially ä, ü, ö and ß)
2: Basic greetings (hello, goodbye, etc.)
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.
- 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 resourcesto 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
- Don’t be scared to make mistakes!!!! If you don’t let yourself make mistakes, you will never be able to learn German

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!

- 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

Hi learners! Just a reminder that tomorrow we'll be doing our first session on prepositions for Beginner German. Same time as usual. Type >sessions in the #botchannel if you're unsure of the time, but I'll be posting another announcement as usual about 30m before we start.
I also wanted to mentioned that on Sunday 12am UTC (exactly 24h after the Beginner German session starts), we'll do a bonus session about food vocabulary where we go through and learn a ton of vocab for fruits, vegetables, other basic food items, stuff like that. I'll be running it with the Activities role, instead of Grammar, so make sure to sub to that if you want to get the ping!

explain nominative
Nominative
The nominative case (der Nominativ) 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 nominative case?
Definite articles: der, die, das
Indefinite articles: ein, eine, ein
Personal pronouns:
ich - I
du - you
er - he
es - it
sie - she/they
wir - we
ihr - you guys
Sie - (formal) you/you guys
For a full explanation, including adjectives, see >explain adjective declension
🗨 When do I use the nominative case?
The nominative case is mainly used:
- to mark the subject of the finite verb
Ich lese einen Roman.
Der Mann hat die schöne Frau ermordet.
Sie besitzen kein Auto.
- for the predicate complement of copular verbs (a verb that links the subject to the object)
Eine Maus ist ein kleines Tier.
Wir wurden gute Freunde.
Du bleibst immer mein Freund.
- for nouns or pronouns used in isolation, such as in exclamations or when addressing people
Ein schöner Tag heute, nicht?
So geht es nicht, du Idiot.
Ach meine Güte!

Beginner German: Lesson 7 - A session aimed at complete beginners. In this session, we will discuss prepositions.
Hi learners! Just a reminder that tomorrow we'll be doing our first session on prepositions for Beginner German. Same time as usual. Type >sessions in the #botchannel if you're unsure of the time, but I'll be posting another announcement as usual about 30m before we start.
I also wanted to mentioned that on Sunday 12am UTC (exactly 24h after the Beginner German session starts), we'll do a bonus session about food vocabulary where we go through and learn a ton of vocab for fruits, vegetables, other basic food items, stuff like that. I'll be running it with the Activities role, instead of Grammar, so make sure to sub to that if you want to get the ping!

faq cefr
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:

faq keyboard
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.
🔸 Use a program like AutoHotkey to automatically type the symbols you need when you type certain shortcuts: https://www.autohotkey.com/
🔸 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:
ä = 132; Ä = 142
ö = 148; Ö = 153
ü = 129; Ü = 154
ß = 225
🔸 If all else fails, you can use ASCII conventions for the characters: add an e to other vowels, and write ss or sz for ß. For example:
ae = ä
oe = ö
ue = ü
ss = ß
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 beginner
Please make sure to read Part 1 before starting Part 2!
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
- 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

Please remember that the same rules as usual apply:
Please try to be on time. I will try to ping everyone in advance again so you don't miss the deadline. You'll need to be subbed to activities to receive this ping (>sub activities)
In order to minimize disruptive noises during the session, you can mute your mics and also turn off the user join/user leave sounds temporarily in your notification settings.
If you do not know how the session works, here is a short summary:
- You will receive a few questions about the text in random order.
- I will read the text at least twice, more if you need it. First time will be normal speed, the second time a slower version.
- After the reading, we will go through the questions together and answer them.
- I will also post the text, the questions and answers after the lesson in #study-tasks

ex word order for Nouns & Pronouns
Word Order - Nouns & Pronouns
The placement of nouns and pronouns in a German sentence is dependent on their case and is flexible, but still tends to come in a particular order. When placed outside this neutral word order, the noun/pronoun is often emphasised.
🔸 Nouns Only
Sentence with only nouns: Nominativ -> Dativ -> Akkusativ
Der Mann gibt der Frau das Buch.
Heute muss der Mann der Frau das Buch geben.
🔸 Pronouns Only
Sentence with only personal pronouns: Nominativ -> Akkusativ -> Dativ
Er gibt es ihr.
Heute gibt er es ihr.
🔸 Nouns & Pronouns
Pronouns tend to go before nouns. If a noun is the topic (the focus of the sentence), then it's always the first element in a main clause and the pronoun does not go before it.
Er gibt der Frau das Buch.
Der Mann gibt ihr das Buch.
Der Mann gibt es der Frau.
If something else is the topic, then pronouns tend to precede nouns:
Heute gibt er der Frau das Buch.
Heute gibt ihr der Mann das Buch.
Heute gibt es der Mann der Frau.
‼ However, a pronoun object (i.e. Akkusativ/Dativ) can also go after the noun subject (and only the noun subject) when confusion is possible. Compare these two sentences:
Heute ruft die Journalistin sie an.
Heute ruft sie die Journalistin an.
They will not be interpreted to mean the same thing, so you need to be careful.
🔸 Other Pronouns
Demonstrantive pronouns (das, der, dies, etc.) always go after personal pronouns, irrespective of case.
Heute gibt er mir das.
Reflexive pronouns follow the same order as personal pronouns (Akk -> Dat) and tend to also precede nouns. Sometimes it can be very important to stick to this rule, as seen here:
Gestern hat er sich mir vorgestellt. (He introduced himself to me yesterday.)
Gestern hat er es sich vorgestellt. (He imagined it yesterday.)
