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!

Introduction

1: Alphabet (especially ä, ü, ö and ß)
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
  • Don’t be scared to make mistakes!!!! If you don’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 – 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 accusative

lean flickerBOT
#
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.

doch

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

🔆 Using doch to contradict negative statements 🔆
You can use doch to contradict a negative statement/question in the same manner as you would use nein to contradict a positive statement.

(1) Laura hat keinen Fernseher, oder? - Doch, sie hat einen Fernseher!
Laura doesn't have a TV, does she? - Yes, she does!
(2) Du kannst kein Schach spielen! - Doch, das kann ich!
You can't play chess! - Yes, I can!
💡 With doch, correctly answering negative questions (with positive tags) has never been easier. Isn't that awesome? Doch, it is! 😏

🔅 Using doch as an adversative conjunction 🔅
You can also use doch as an adversative conjunction (yet, however, ...).

(3) Du hattest genug Zeit, doch du hast nicht für die Prüfung gelernt.
You had enough time, yet you didn't study for the exam.
(4) Es ist noch nicht Sommer, doch es ist fast genauso heiß.
It is not yet summer, it is, however, almost as hot.
‼ Keep in mind that doch as an adversative conjunction doesn't change the word order. ‼

🔅 Using doch as a subjunctive 🔅
Furthermore, you can use doch in concessive clauses.

(5) Auch wenn wir erwarteten, zu verlieren, so haben wir das Spiel doch gewonnen.
Though we expected to lose, we still won the game.
(6) Obwohl sie sehr nett ist, findet sie doch keine neuen Freunde.
Although she's very kind, she doesn't make new friends.

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:

Where we used to raise a glass or two
Remember how we laughed away the hours
And dreamed of all the great things we would do

Those were the days my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have...

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:

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/

3: Dative case
4: Dative verbs

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

Anki
What is Anki?

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

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

Where To Get It

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

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

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

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

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!

Introduction

1: Alphabet (especially ä, ü, ö and ß)
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
  • Don’t be scared to make mistakes!!!! If you don’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 – 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

More alternatives

🔸 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).

Grammar terms

When learning languages, it's useful to know some grammatical terms.
Note that these are very simplified definitions aimed at giving you a general idea: do your own research if you need details.

  • Adjective: a word that describes a name: the dog is old or the smart kid.
  • Adverb: something that aids the verb or other part of the sentence, or words that don't fall into other categories: yes, I've done it swiftly or he's very good.
  • Affix: a small word piece attached to another word to change its meaning. If it comes before the word it's a prefix: __in__credible, after it it's a suffix: time__ly__.
  • Article: a word that tells you if a name is specific or generic: the apple, an apple.
  • Case: the form of a word depending on its role: he and him refer to the same person, but he gives an apple to him.
  • Clause: each unit that has one conjugated verb. Those before and after the comma are each a clause: Berzi said something, but I didn't understand.
  • Conjugation: the form a verb takes depending on when it happens and who does it: I go, he goes, he went are all conjugations of the same verb.
  • Conjunction: a word that connects two clauses together: he went there but I didn't.
  • Declension: the form a word takes depending on its case: der Mann is a subject, den Mann is an object.
  • Noun: the name of a thing, such as table or dog.
  • Object: the one at the receiving end of the verb, or being affected by it directly: he touched me, she gave her an apple.
  • Pronoun: a word that stands in for a name: he gave me a ring. I like it.
  • Subject: the one that enacts the verb in first person: I saw a dog or a dog saw me.
  • Tense: the form of a verb depending on when it happens: I see: present, I will see: future.
  • Verb: a word describing an action: I go running every day.

faq pronunciation

lean flickerBOT
#
IPA

The International Phonetic Alphabet is a system for writing sounds regardless of the language: one sound will have only one letter for it, so it's really helpful for learning pronunciation in any language without relying on approximations.

IPA has a lot of symbols, but you don't need to learn them all.

🔸 What are those // and [] I see around?
Symbols in slashes (like /r/) represent so-called phonemes, units of sound. Each phoneme can be pronounced in different ways depending on where it is in the word. For example, the phoneme /r/ is pronounced [ʁ] in most situations, but [ɐ] after vowels. As you can see, square brackets (like [ʁ]) represent actual sounds. Finally, pointy brackets like ⟨r⟩ represent how a sound is written, which can vary from language to language.
Example: ⟨sprechen⟩ /sprεçən/ [ʃpʁε.çn̩]

🔸 So how to learn it?
All you need to learn is the few symbols used by the language you're interested in. For German, you can look up the relevant letters on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Help:IPA/Standard_German. Notice the Help:IPA/Language_Name pattern in the URL.
There, you will find a table of symbols with an approximation, but you can also click on each specific symbol to learn exactly how to pronounce it studying the Features section, for example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voiceless_palatal_fricative#Features

🔸 Which IPA letters are important for German?
Sounds you are likely to have trouble with are ⟨x⟩, ⟨ç⟩, ⟨ʁ⟩, ⟨ɐ⟩ and several vowels. These are all described in the Wiki link above.
You can use this website to transcribe German words if your dictionary doesn't give an IPA transcription:

Best way to learn German
Should I study all these skills every day?

If you want to study them all every day, you can, but some people may find it easier to focus on particular skills on particular days. For example, on Monday you might choose to do a lot of writing practice, and then on Tuesday you might plan some conversation practice with some speaking partners.

If you try to cover too many different things in one day, then you might be jumping around all over the place and not able to focus on each individual task. It’s also a really good idea to have a different schedule or set of tasks each day to keep things from getting boring. So setting a special schedule or set of tasks for each day of the week - like the Monday writing day, or every Friday you do some grammar exercises followed by watching TV shows, or any other combination you like – is a really good way to go.

How much time should I dedicate to studying?

Everyone has a different schedule and everyone learns at a different pace. It is recommended to study every day, preferably for 30 minutes or more, but taking 1-2 days off is okay. More important is how many hours you study in a week.

A casual pace will be roughly around 5-8 hours a week, a steady pace would be around 10-14 hours a week, and a fast pace (around the same pace as a university subject) will be 15-20 hours a week.

Anything less than 5 hours and you may find it hard to keep improving steadily (but feel free to try it and see how it works for you), while studying one subject for over 25 hours a week may quickly lead to burnout.

How you choose to spread those hours out over the week is not that important; for example, if you have a lot of time on the weekend but not during the week, it’s fine to do short study sessions on weekdays and then dedicate a bunch of time on Saturday and Sunday.

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 .

Lessons
The lessons held on the server don’t have a consistent schedule, because we allow lesson hosts to choose their own times and days. Lessons are held in the Lessons voice channel along with the #lessons text channel. Everyone is welcome to listen to the lessons even if they don’t wish to participate.

You can subscribe to a specific group to get pings whenever a session is announced. The current lesson groups are:

  • Reading: Read and translate German texts together.
  • AdvancedReading: Like Reading but aimed at B2+ speakers.
  • Grammar: Lesson about a specific grammar topic.
  • Activities: Speaking practice, learning games, or things that don’t fit in the other categories.

Subscribe by typing >sub Reading (for example) in #botchannel.

Lesson Hosting
Lesson hosting is a voluntary role and we welcome any members who are interested to host their own sessions. If you’re interested in running a session, feel free to DM one of the moderators to discuss the process.

Even if you feel inexperienced or have no idea what to run a session about, we’re always happy to provide guidance and teach people how they can hold learning sessions.

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!

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:

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

Absentiv
What on earth is absentiv?

Theo ist einkaufen
Absentiv (or absentive in english) is a grammatical aspect (like how konjunktiv ii is also an aspect) in German. It is used quite commonly in spoken / colloquial standard german, and almost never in formal / written german. As the name 'absentive' might suggest, it is used to express someone's absence in combination with an activity that is the reason for their absence. Key parts of this include the implication that the person will eventually return from their absence, and that the action they're partaking is is something that they do regularly. E.g. hobbies, occupations, etc.

The absentiv is not a progressive tense

Unlike the 'am-progress' Theo ist am einkaufen, the absentiv makes no comment on the state of progress or completion of the activity the subject is doing. It only states that they are not in the current location due to the mentioned activity: for all we know Theo might have already finished shopping and currently be on his way home, or he might only just have arrived at the store.

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!

Introduction

1: Alphabet (especially ä, ü, ö and ß)
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)

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.

ex weak nouns

Weak Nouns

Weak nouns are called this way because they receive the same endings as adjectives inflected with weak endings. They take an additional ending -n in every case except nominative singular. This is also known as N-Declension and affects almost exclusively masculine nouns.

Nominativ: der Junge, die Junge__n__
Genitiv: des Junge__n__, der Junge__n__
Dativ: dem Junge__n__, den Junge__n__
Akkusativ: den Junge__n__, die Junge__n__

Some nouns end with a suffix -en to make the pronunciation easier:
der Mensch, den Mensch__en__

Das Herz is the only non-masculine (neuter) noun with N-Declension❣

So how do we recognize these nouns? We can divide them into 3 big groups:

  1. nouns of Greek and Latin origin,
  2. nouns ending with -e (most of these refer to people or animals),
  3. other random German nouns (Mensch, Herr, Student, Nachbar, Prinz etc.)

Another way to divide the groups could be:

  1. nouns denoting male beings in general (der Bauer, der Knabe, der Herr, der Junge, der Kunde etc.)
  2. nouns indicating nationality or religious affiliation (der Chinese, der Russe, der Türke, der Jude, der Katholik, der Protestant)
  3. nouns designating male beings and ending in the foreign suffixes (-ant, -arch, -ast, -ege, -ent, -ist, -oge, -om, -oph, -ot: der Kollege, der Student, der Psychologe, der Polizist, der Philosoph)

der Käse and words ending with -ee aren’t weak nouns.

Genitive of Weak Nouns
You might have noticed from the examples above that weak nouns don’t have the additional -s in genitive like other masculine nouns.
Some exceptions are das Herz and nouns of group 3 that don’t refer to people nor animals (Name, Wille, Glaube, Buchstabe etc.), which take both the -n and -s endings.
Example: der Name, des Name__ns__.

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!

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 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.)

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 Märkte - 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 Flashcard Apps

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

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.

Best way to learn German
Should I study all these skills every day?

If you want to study them all every day, you can, but some people may find it easier to focus on particular skills on particular days. For example, on Monday you might choose to do a lot of writing practice, and then on Tuesday you might plan some conversation practice with some speaking partners.

If you try to cover too many different things in one day, then you might be jumping around all over the place and not able to focus on each individual task. It’s also a really good idea to have a different schedule or set of tasks each day to keep things from getting boring. So setting a special schedule or set of tasks for each day of the week - like the Monday writing day, or every Friday you do some grammar exercises followed by watching TV shows, or any other combination you like – is a really good way to go.

How much time should I dedicate to studying?

Everyone has a different schedule and everyone learns at a different pace. It is recommended to study every day, preferably for 30 minutes or more, but taking 1-2 days off is okay. More important is how many hours you study in a week.

A casual pace will be roughly around 5-8 hours a week, a steady pace would be around 10-14 hours a week, and a fast pace (around the same pace as a university subject) will be 15-20 hours a week.

Anything less than 5 hours and you may find it hard to keep improving steadily (but feel free to try it and see how it works for you), while studying one subject for over 25 hours a week may quickly lead to burnout.

How you choose to spread those hours out over the week is not that important; for example, if you have a lot of time on the weekend but not during the week, it’s fine to do short study sessions on weekdays and then dedicate a bunch of time on Saturday and Sunday.

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

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.

Thats not what i meant

Well what do u mean?

empty olive
#

How do you ask questions in german

misty token
empty olive
#

Like.. i just told a friend 'du weißt wieso?'

#

But do you say 'weißt du wieso?'

#

Are the verbs switched etc

misty token
#

You can yes

#

Both is correct

empty olive
#

Ah

#

But yea x) my question is how to ask a question

misty token
#

But the first implies that you know why and are now checking if the target knows why, eg when a cop pulls u over and asks “yk why i pulled you over?”—> “Wissen Sie, warum ich Sie angehalten habe?” and the other implies you dont know why and are asking for info eg “no, why did u pull me over?” —> “Nein, warum haben Sie mich angehalten?”. @empty olive

empty olive
#

In both of those though, you put the verb first

#

"Wissen Sie"

#

And then "warum haben Sie"

#

Instead of
Sie wissen / warum Sie haben

doch

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

🔆 Using doch to contradict negative statements 🔆
You can use doch to contradict a negative statement/question in the same manner as you would use nein to contradict a positive statement.

(1) Laura hat keinen Fernseher, oder? - Doch, sie hat einen Fernseher!
Laura doesn't have a TV, does she? - Yes, she does!
(2) Du kannst kein Schach spielen! - Doch, das kann ich!
You can't play chess! - Yes, I can!
💡 With doch, correctly answering negative questions (with positive tags) has never been easier. Isn't that awesome? Doch, it is! 😏

🔅 Using doch as an adversative conjunction 🔅
You can also use doch as an adversative conjunction (yet, however, ...).

(3) Du hattest genug Zeit, doch du hast nicht für die Prüfung gelernt.
You had enough time, yet you didn't study for the exam.
(4) Es ist noch nicht Sommer, doch es ist fast genauso heiß.
It is not yet summer, it is, however, almost as hot.
‼ Keep in mind that doch as an adversative conjunction doesn't change the word order. ‼

🔅 Using doch as a subjunctive 🔅
Furthermore, you can use doch in concessive clauses.

(5) Auch wenn wir erwarteten, zu verlieren, so haben wir das Spiel doch gewonnen.
Though we expected to lose, we still won the game.
(6) Obwohl sie sehr nett ist, findet sie doch keine neuen Freunde.
Although she's very kind, she doesn't make new friends.

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:

faq gender

Grammatical gender

German nouns are sorted in three different genders: masculine, neuter and feminine. These have nothing to do with sex or social gender.
The first thing genders will influence are articles like der, das, die. Each word has its own and you better get it right: some words that look identical can have different meanings depending on the gender they're used with. For example:
die Band = the (musical) band,
der Band = the (book) volume,
das Band = the tape.

Some words, mainly trademarks and loanwords, have multiple acceptable genders while having no change in meaning:
der Jogurt = das Jogurt
das Virus = der Virus
These may vary by region or colloquiality.

💢 But WHY, German, WHY
Gender is actually quite useful! Since sentence structure is less rigid than in English, grammatical case helps you tell the various elements apart (with some practice), and that works through genders: each gender has its own forms, which makes everything a little less ambiguous. Besides, as you've seen with Band above, it allows us to make up words with different meanings that look the same but are not ambiguous, and if that's not magic, I don't know what is. ✨

🙀 But how am I supposed to tell them apart? 🙀
Check out >explain gender patterns. 😉

explain gender patterns

lean flickerBOT
#
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 🎉).
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.

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:

Best way to learn German
Should I study all these skills every day?

If you want to study them all every day, you can, but some people may find it easier to focus on particular skills on particular days. For example, on Monday you might choose to do a lot of writing practice, and then on Tuesday you might plan some conversation practice with some speaking partners.

If you try to cover too many different things in one day, then you might be jumping around all over the place and not able to focus on each individual task. It’s also a really good idea to have a different schedule or set of tasks each day to keep things from getting boring. So setting a special schedule or set of tasks for each day of the week - like the Monday writing day, or every Friday you do some grammar exercises followed by watching TV shows, or any other combination you like – is a really good way to go.

How much time should I dedicate to studying?

Everyone has a different schedule and everyone learns at a different pace. It is recommended to study every day, preferably for 30 minutes or more, but taking 1-2 days off is okay. More important is how many hours you study in a week.

A casual pace will be roughly around 5-8 hours a week, a steady pace would be around 10-14 hours a week, and a fast pace (around the same pace as a university subject) will be 15-20 hours a week.

Anything less than 5 hours and you may find it hard to keep improving steadily (but feel free to try it and see how it works for you), while studying one subject for over 25 hours a week may quickly lead to burnout.

How you choose to spread those hours out over the week is not that important; for example, if you have a lot of time on the weekend but not during the week, it’s fine to do short study sessions on weekdays and then dedicate a bunch of time on Saturday and Sunday.

conjugation

Präsens (Present Tense)
When you use a verb in a sentence (or clause), you have to conjugate it (change the form) to match the subject of the sentence (or clause).

For example, in English, we write I eat but he/she eats. The verb has a different ending! The concept is the same in German, except German has more endings.

The first thing you need to know in order to conjugate verbs is: which ending fits which subject? Here is a simple verb “trinken” (to drink) as an example:

trinken
ich trinke
du trinkst
er/sie/es trinkt
wir trinken
ihr trinkt
sie trinken / Sie trinken
(Note: the conjugation for sie (they) and Sie (formal you) is always the same)

Vowel/Stem Changes
There are a few variations and exceptions, but the most important is vowel changes (also called stem changes). Some verbs get a vowel change, which only affects the du and er/sie/es forms of the verb. (However, modal verbs and wissen have their own special pattern, which also has a vowel change in the ich form.)

Example: ich schlafe, du schläfst

Other Changes
There are various other differences but I can’t describe them all here, so please read these websites or use Google to find more information: https://www.vistawide.com/german/grammar/german_verbs_present_tense.htm

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.

doch

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

🔆 Using doch to contradict negative statements 🔆
You can use doch to contradict a negative statement/question in the same manner as you would use nein to contradict a positive statement.

(1) Laura hat keinen Fernseher, oder? - Doch, sie hat einen Fernseher!
Laura doesn't have a TV, does she? - Yes, she does!
(2) Du kannst kein Schach spielen! - Doch, das kann ich!
You can't play chess! - Yes, I can!
💡 With doch, correctly answering negative questions (with positive tags) has never been easier. Isn't that awesome? Doch, it is! 😏

🔅 Using doch as an adversative conjunction 🔅
You can also use doch as an adversative conjunction (yet, however, ...).

(3) Du hattest genug Zeit, doch du hast nicht für die Prüfung gelernt.
You had enough time, yet you didn't study for the exam.
(4) Es ist noch nicht Sommer, doch es ist fast genauso heiß.
It is not yet summer, it is, however, almost as hot.
‼ Keep in mind that doch as an adversative conjunction doesn't change the word order. ‼

🔅 Using doch as a subjunctive 🔅
Furthermore, you can use doch in concessive clauses.

(5) Auch wenn wir erwarteten, zu verlieren, so haben wir das Spiel doch gewonnen.
Though we expected to lose, we still won the game.
(6) Obwohl sie sehr nett ist, findet sie doch keine neuen Freunde.
Although she's very kind, she doesn't make new friends.
