Spymaster
If you are playing as the spymaster, you will see a board of cards: each card has a word and a colour associated with it.

  • Red = Red Team, if you're the red spymaster you want your teammate to guess this word.
  • Blue = Blue team, same as red but for blue.
  • Grey = If they guess this you won't score any points.
  • Black = If they guess this you will lose the game.*

You will be shown a section to input a word and with a number slot next to it;

  • Input a word or phrase into the word section which you think will tell your teammate which word(s) they have to select, this cannot be the word.
  • Input a number in the slot, this will be how many words they have to guess.

GUESSER (I DON'T REMEMBER WHAT IT'S CALLED)
You will be given the clue that the spymaster has come up with, and you have to guess the card which you think they mean. You can opt out of guessing early if you feel uncertain about what they're asking for.

What people find attractive and the reasoning for their attraction would differ from individual to individual. Women are not a homogenous group who find themselves tempted by things another would find appealing, nor is it fair to assume they all have mutual interests. Some might find them attractive, some won't.

@tidal estuary It depends what you mean by using immersion exactly.

#

Every single language you learn (assuming the resources/people exist for it to be possible) will involve immersion to a significant extent.

tidal estuary
# opal sequoia <@1140759503978123275> It depends what you mean by using immersion exactly.

I'm mainly referring to content which isn't strictly based on practice. For example literature and social media in the language you are learning in.

In my case I use literature and news to learn German. I understand a plethora of words, sentences and meanings of contexts that are spoken/written in German despite not needing to translate much of it. The main problem I seem to have is the confidence/knowledge whether or not I actually learn from this type of immersion, hence why I'm asking you if you have experienced this form of immersion and if you have.

opal sequoia
#

All the stuff you mentioned though is true. Using media, especially literature, is a great way to build vocab. Talking to people and watching modern TV shows will teach you a lot of things like idioms, phrases, how people talk irl.

#

But you can't learn everything about the language that way.

hollow snow

#

Perfect, have a nice day 👍

tidal estuary
# opal sequoia But you can't learn everything about the language that way.

I'm starting to have that mindset too. Maybe its because I haven't been exposed to German long enough to know how things are, but my experience has been underwhelming so far. I've learned words like "giessen" and "soweit" and news related terms, but besides that it just feels like recognizing stuff instead of learning it, therefore missing out on holding on to that feeling of what the term means and how proper grammar works.

Thanks for sharing your thought on it btw. I've mainly heard language gurus talk about how "immersion" and all that is the way to learn languages, but with German, I feel like I can't miss out on grammar rules

opal sequoia
# tidal estuary I'm starting to have that mindset too. Maybe its because I haven't been exposed ...

Yeah, absolutely. And I think a part of it is that a lot of people are really anxious about the idea of grammar. For some reason, there's a strong myth that people hold that grammar is the "hard way" to learn and that they want to find an "easy way". But the reality is, learning the grammar rules is the easy way. You can learn things in 5 minutes that improve your language skill immensely that would take months/years to figure out by "immersion".

#

I think it's important to just approach it with an open mind and not assume it will be hard or a lot of work.

#

The grammar rules are basically two things:

  • cheat codes to simplify otherwise complicated language concepts
  • a structure/foundation, that you build up as a beginner, and then it helps you sort all your new knowledge that you gain from immersion
#

So instead of the language being a crazy random blur of words and terminologies, you convert it into neat sections of info that you can easily process.

#

And then there are some things you can't learn by a rule and that's just unfortunate reality of life.

Sounds a lot more sense now that you've word it that way. Thing about immersion is how it seems related to how young children learn their new language even though they haven't necessarily learned grammar rules. That's why I've thought to some extend that immersion is pretty powerful

And yeah, that seems to be the fun part about grammar: there are always some exceptions lurking every corner 😂. I've seen this with the strong/weak declensions I've mentioned in #beginner-german, where the adjective declensions with genitive masculine and genitive neuter without articles does not seem to properly follow the pattern that somewhat exists

Something like stehenden Fußes?

Yeah, this is an idea a lot of people are misled by. The reality is that adults don't learn like babies. And again, you can learn a lot of these grammar concepts in a few minutes or days at most. Babies take years, even a decade, to learn some of that stuff.

#

And of course there's a reason why you can't apply a CEFR level to a native speaker. Many things about learning as a native speaker vs foreign language learner are all different.

# opal sequoia What pattern is that?

The person in the video talked about how there are strong declensions and weak declensions. He made the point that, in the case the article does not have a strong declension, the adjective declension has to have a strong declension.

In other words: if the article has a weak declension (like the nominative masculine indefinite article "ein"), the adjective must have a strong declension ("-er" in this case)

Here's the video. I saw it in #questions : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UgRDUCnH2Ps

Alex Holznienkemper, doctoral candidate at Ohio State University and a Pre-Doctoral Fellow in the German Program at the University of Notre Dame, explains German adjective endings.

So in this case it's being represented by the noun ending instead.

# tidal estuary Can you elaborate what you mean? I'll respond later, I have to do smth atm

So let's say you take heißen Kaffees as your genitive. The noun is der Kaffee. In genitive, it gets the ending -s to represent genitive. So the adjective forms are:
des heißen Kaffees
eines heißen Kaffees
heißen Kaffees

The "s" on Kaffees is still there when you remove the article so the -es of genitive is still being reflected and doesn't need to be moved onto the adjective.

#

In that case, it doesn't break the rules you described. Instead, the only exceptions is that it's the only declension where the strong ending is represented twice.

#

Actually dative plural also does the same thing.

#

den Kindern

#

But whatever, that one is easy since the adjective is -en either way.

#

For example, take the noun der Hund. The genitive singular form is des Hundes (Hund + -(e)s). The nominative plural is die Hunde. The dative plural is den Hunden (Hunde + -(e)n).

#

The exception overall is weak nouns. But they just have their whole own rules.
