Wie lange lernst du schon Deutsch?

[hot cloak]

Seit 6 Monate..

DEUTSCH ist wirklich schwierig.

[crystal nymph]

Es stimmt 😭

Aber digga du bist ur gut dafür dass du erst seit 6 Monaten Deutsch lernst

o.O

[ornate igloo]

Ja du hast recht aber du lernst so schnell o.0

Schon Level B

Lernst du selbstständig?

[hot cloak]

Ich lerne schnell aber leiter vergesse ich auch schnell ..

[hot cloak]

Ich habe ein buch gekauft und ich spreche mit Arbeitkollegen auf Deutsch. Sie sind alle Deutschlander aber nur ich bin Auslander 😁

[ornate igloo]

Ah okay das macht Sinn! Lebst du momentan in Deutschland?

[hot cloak]

Ja, und ich arbeite als Zimmermann (Mitarbeiter).

[ornate igloo]

ooo ja gut dann eignest du dir die Sprache natürlich sehr schnell an…

[ember pecan]

[cursive marsh]

@lilac quartz where are you

Ja gut, zum einen gibt es Hochdeutsch und dann halt Umgangssprache

Ich glaube aber, dass du dich bald mit beiden auskennst :D

[ornate igloo]

@ember pecan how u been?

[leaden drift]

Hallo

[crystal nymph]

Halli hallooooo

wie gehts denn so

[leaden drift]

Mir gehts gut und dir ?

[crystal nymph]

Man lebt, ja

[astral osprey]

so?

[spiral fox]

So it took me from A1 to B2 (As in just started b2) 7 months

couldve taken my less time if i had the right guidance

[astral osprey]

damn how many hours a day did you study for

[spiral fox]

4-8

[astral osprey]

makes sense

[spiral fox]

and i had a german girlfriend i could practice with

[humble sandal]

@astral osprey I had uni classes (48h) where I got the basics of the basics. That wasn't even full A1. Then I followed a plan I found on a website for a bit less than a month 3/4h per day (from A0 to A2) I also tried to watch movies, videos, music in German on the side without really actively learning, just to get used to the language

[spiral fox]

Watching a show increased my vocabulary by around 150 words and it was 8 episodes only when i was b1, i would deff advise input

[astral osprey]

seems like both of you learned the language intensively

[spiral fox]

all or nothing

[astral osprey]

i see

[humble sandal]

Yeah a thing I had is also a goal. I had an exam on a fixed date and had to learn until then

that was a good motivation

[hot cloak]

I wish I had that motivation

seriously

[chilly glen]

I've been learning for 5 years and only just reached C1 Level

[astral osprey]

how did you practice speaking and writing

[chilly glen]

It's different for everyone

[humble sandal]

I also recommend that better than a random list on an app

[astral osprey]

i have something similar

[humble sandal]

Self estimation or did you pass a test?

[astral osprey]

I need to reach c1 in 3 years

[humble sandal]

I mean before those 5 years

[astral osprey]

as long as youre doing something everyday then youll eventually notice big improvement

[chilly glen]

I've done 2 Qualifications in german, GCSE equivalent and A level. But more importantly I was also tested by a native recently

[humble sandal]

But you did that after 5 years right?

[chilly glen]

Who said I'm around a an advanced B2 to a low C1

[chilly glen]

I did this over 2 years

[forest apex]

Someone on this server?

[humble sandal]

You can only reach that if you learn intensively. Find a real motivation

[chilly glen]

No, a german native on the duolingo server

[forest apex]

Oh XD

[astral osprey]

hm

[humble sandal]

That's what I thought. You're starting to feel confortable but you've been C1 for a while.

[astral osprey]

does age play a role btw?

[spiral fox]

Yes

[chilly glen]

I definitely wouldn't say I'm a super comfortable C1

[spiral fox]

Science says so

[hot cloak]

I know, but I don't have motivation to start doing that everyday steadily

[astral osprey]

how big of a role

[humble sandal]

science doesn't?

[chilly glen]

Id like to just say im at the baseline of C1

[humble sandal]

I mean unless we're talking about a 12 year old compared to a 85 year old

Thanks

[humble sandal]

To me the difference is: a young person has a lot of free time, an adult is busy with adult problems and work

[hot cloak]

literaly me

[spiral fox]

It's more than that, check the study I sent

[atomic owl]

Well as a young person you've got the chance to take german classes for example...that's making it quite easier

[forest apex]

LOL hast iwie „and“ mit Strg f gesucht xD

[humble sandal]

That's about learning a language to a native level

[spiral fox]

Do most people not learn languages to a native level?

[astral osprey]

sorry i cant really find it could you send me the message link

[forest apex]

I mean most foreign language learners can be told apart from natives

[spiral fox]

https://www.reddit.com/r/German/wiki/the_ultimate_link_guide_to_german/#wiki_exams.3A3

[humble sandal]

yes but they're talking about it being physically harder

[spiral fox]

When they are old yes

People who pick up the language from a younger age may be able to reach native level

[forest apex]

Yes, I mean if you learn as a young child, at what point does it become just growing up bilingual XD

[forest apex]

Yes then they are bilingual

[humble sandal]

no?

[forest apex]

But yeah you can still learn a language to native level even as an adolescent or adult

[spiral fox]

I dont seem to find any mention of learning for native level purposes in the study

[spiral fox]

Yes, but is harder as you age

[humble sandal]

The initial question was "is age important in learning a language to a proficient level?"

[forest apex]

Yeah that’s because most people don’t get there, at least not without living for many years in the country

[chilly glen]

So is anything

It's how you view it

[spiral fox]

My argument isnt that older people shouldnt study cause its too late

Just stating a fact that age plays a role when it comes to language learning

[humble sandal]

you just read the introduction...

[spiral fox]

No I read highlighted pages

[torpid fable]

https://youtu.be/yiegF6g6foo?si=FCaCxuPM2tDPt5bN

[spiral fox]

They refer to older learners as older children

[humble sandal]

bibo we're busy here

[humble sandal]

no adults too

adults and older children

[humble sandal]

Yes, they get to attain a native level

[spiral fox]

bros the op demon

your reaction time needs some work tho

Because theyre younger

[humble sandal]

again the question is does age matter to reach proficiency

[spiral fox]

and it does as we can see, younger people have a higher attainment level and the older kids have a superior learning rate

[humble sandal]

I give up

[spiral fox]

Better luck next time

I hope you get some good rest and have adventurous dreams!

[ember pecan]

the pronunciation of al and alp is different

I prefer chilly dreams :D, but I will have some good rest

Goodnight everyone

[vital locust]

I’m doing fine thank you I’m studying some german rn

[ornate igloo]

gud gud *patpat

[vital locust]

I’ve been confused like should i use the nicht or not

[ionic hull]

I think you're supposed to say, "Ich fahre nicht nach Bremen", for an example

In the First one's case

[ornate igloo]

Carlos fährt nach Bremen.
Miyagu spricht schnell.
Fürst liest ein Deutschbuch.
Zizo trägt schwarze Schuhe.
Alp isst Obst.
Pistachio hilft Julia.
Yor läuft auch nicht schnell.

Beep ist vielleicht dumdum

[ionic hull]

Beep ist nicht* dumdum

[ornate igloo]

😭

[vital locust]

RICHTIG

[hot cloak]

ein Deutschbuch?

[ornate igloo]

Na ja du kannst auch etwas anderes lesen ^^

Aber du hast bestimmt mindestens eins schonmal gelesen ;D

[vital locust]

Okay in this case i should change ich by names?

Or it was improvised by mistah beep

[ornate igloo]

The way I understand it you are supposed to reconjugate the sentences into the third person

[ornate igloo]

oh i dono xd

[vital locust]

[ionic hull]

idk why but when i read the trinidad line there was only one thing i could think of

[hot cloak]

not nice of that biy

[hot cloak]

WAS IST DAS KÄSEGESETZ

[ionic hull]

WHAT IS A KILOMETER 🦅 🇺🇸

[hot cloak]

ich habs versucht aber da steht dass ich erst Sprechen muss

[ornate igloo]

https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/k_sev/KäseV.pdf

[primal sleet]

oh yeah someone else in the same class asked that

[hot cloak]

ich habe schon so viel auf Deutsch geschrieben

[hot cloak]

1,6 Kilometres = 1 mile

[ionic hull]

LMAOOO

i knew ittttt

[ornate igloo]

das dauert manchmal ein bisschen, du musst Geduld haben *patpat

[primal sleet]

mind you, this is an honors class. how tf you don’t know that???

[pure bronze]

dann würde ich vorschlagen, dass du das auch machst

[ionic hull]

it must be astonishingly easy to get in honors then

[primal sleet]

i guess???

[hot cloak]

ich bin hier noch nicht lange deshalb wahrscheinlich

[ornate igloo]

I never really understood the concept of an honors class

i don’t think there is an equivalent here

[pure bronze]

schick deine Bewerbung bitte an @slim sluice

[primal sleet]

but no my trilingual crazy-smart friend got stuck in standard?

[ornate igloo]

scam >:”c

[primal sleet]

REAL

[ornate igloo]

trilingual is insane

[hot cloak]

no point in it (im a 16 yr old Student what do i know)

me trying to sound smart

[ionic hull]

wth how

[primal sleet]

a slightly more difficult class that moves at a faster pace and has a slightly higher weight on your GPA

[ornate igloo]

*patpat from the monkey theorem u will eventually say something groundbreaking

[ornate igloo]

oh whatt, are they like for individual courses or?

[primal sleet]

yes

[primal sleet]

but you can also get into the honors program at your school (usually nonpublic or magnet schools) which has requirements and presents benefits. this also means attending all honors classes

[ionic hull]

??????

[primal sleet]

!!!

[ornate igloo]

huuh our schools never had anything like honors

u either made the course or not

I mean we did have a gpa thing cuz I technically have an American high school diploma

[primal sleet]

i should have just gone to digital harbor but instead i commute for 30 minutes and wake up at 5 every morning to go to a school with ignorant students

[ornate igloo]

but I have no idea how that was weighted

[ornate igloo]

u have to wake up at 5?

[ionic hull]

this is my situation fr

[primal sleet]

we chose a non-public on the east side of the city (we live in the southwest suburbs); thusly, it is a long commute

[ionic hull]

like they show up to school in boxers and flip flops

[primal sleet]

PFFF

[ornate igloo]

gosh but still *patpat u have it quite tough :_

[ionic hull]

I'M NOT EVEN JOKING LMAO

[ornate igloo]

im proud of you for your dedication

[ornate igloo]

xdd no dress code?

[ionic hull]

nope

[dark beacon]

Crist

[primal sleet]

i think that’s the problem with a lot of people in my school
i.e. their parents are powerful and rich, so their future has been guaranteed
not to be judgmental but that seems to be the mentality

[hot cloak]

😂

[dark beacon]

Thats is very eary

[ionic hull]

yeye

[ornate igloo]

ya I mean there’s two sides of the story, in our case we had a very very rigorous dress code

it was a pain and you got infractions for any small thing

[ionic hull]

yikes

[primal sleet]

that’s another thing, my school has a ridiculous dress code so it takes like 10 minutes to get ready in the morning

[ornate igloo]

yh i don’t really understand those people, in the end it’s still their life they have to get in line, why not dedicate yourself to it

[primal sleet]

whereas if we’d’ve chosen western or digital harbor we’d just move to either the west side or the harbor area and then i’d ride MTA or whatever to school

[primal sleet]

idk, the life that they have experienced and that they expect is different

[ionic hull]

y'all are so fast at getting ready, even without a strict dress code i take at least 15min

[primal sleet]

my future life isn’t in a trust fund, i have to (and get to!) make it myself

[ornate igloo]

falscher Channel ^^ #other-languages

[hot cloak]

Только немецкий и английский языки, пожалуйста

[primal sleet]

whereas for some it’s sealed away in the bank, ready to go

[ionic hull]

this tbh

[ornate igloo]

That’s the right mentality, and I’m sure you will be hugely successful I believe in you

[primal sleet]

not saying that that’s a BAD thing— security is great—, more so… it affects the way you think and work ethic etc etc

[hot cloak]

I cant follow the conversation. What yall talking about?

[ornate igloo]

yh ik some people that are a bit spoiled and stuff like that too…

although honestly I think they learned their lesson now

[ionic hull]

Filthy rich kids at our respective schools

[primal sleet]

school, work ethic, trust funds and rich people

[ornate igloo]

turns out slacking off for everything means it’s tough after school

I mean idk if it’s different there but diplomas can’t really be bought here

so to say

[primal sleet]

you can’t really “buy” one per se, but if you have money… you’ve got privileges

[ornate igloo]

that’s so unfair

[primal sleet]

like for example, someone whose daddy donated to johns hopkins is fare more likely to get into that school than any other normal student

[ornate igloo]

ik of some kids from my school who tried to buy their way into my current uni and that failed spectacularly it was so funny

the Swiss dont gaf

[ionic hull]

public school students get an advantage in entrance exams, so some private school students transfer in the final year to get the perks

[primal sleet]

the mentality in the admissions office is like
“ok this guy got straight a’s and has a crazy resumé but is a working-class immigrant and applying for scholarships…
but this other guy has a building on campus named after him”

[ionic hull]

yooooo

[ornate igloo]

yh it was great entertainment

[ionic hull]

yikes

[ornate igloo]

im yet to see someone from my school make it here

not to sound mean or anything :s

[primal sleet]

not as much with johns hopkins, but a lot of the ivy leagues

johns hopkins actually has great financial aid

[ornate igloo]

that’s kinda ridiculous, also the admission criteria are crazy, so I didn’t end up applying for any US unis

[primal sleet]

US unis also cost a crazy amount of money

[ionic hull]

yeah, i've heard about that

[ornate igloo]

for sure it’s insane

I mean I guess you can get scholarships

[primal sleet]

why does COMMUNITY college cost money. IT’S CALLED A COMMUNITY COLLEGE

[ionic hull]

what?

it costs money to get into a community college?????

[ornate igloo]

WHAT

[primal sleet]

in some states!

[ionic hull]

[ornate igloo]

also ridiculous price

[ionic hull]

TWENTY THOUSAND????

[ornate igloo]

is that for all 4 years or per year? 😭
