[river heart]

Ya hows German going for you?

[pearl beacon]

It is going good. I started last month and am learning everyday.

[river heart]

Thats awesome

Im doing it about 3x a week bc im learning french too

[indigo adder]

I think you have some typos in your Japanese. :)

[pearl beacon]

Yeah, I just wrote what I heard.

[indigo adder]

That’s pretty cool, although you can be in Japan easily without Japanese if you are staying at the golden route. (Tokyo-Kyoto-Osaka)
I would recommend to get a pocket Wi-Fi at the airport. ^^ but Japanese is a beautiful language and worth to learn.

Wie geht es euch

[wind veldt]

Hey

Is there a level where learning german starts getting easier ?

I feel it takes tremendous effort learning new words lol

[normal belfry]

no

[wind veldt]

but English gets easy though

[normal belfry]

Yeah but English grammar is way easier

German grammar just gets worse the further you go

Just worse and worse

[wind veldt]

how long have you been studying

[normal belfry]

3 years

[wind veldt]

hours a day?

[normal belfry]

Like 5 hours a week

[wind veldt]

lmao dont you feel its easier than when you started

[normal belfry]

no tbh

[cobalt valley]

Ello

[cobalt valley]

There never was a more true statement

But I feel like German words make more sense.
The idea of creating compound words to describe a particular thing/feeling is interesting to me

[wind veldt]

Yes but do you need to keep learning new grammars infinitely

Cant you just reach a level where its enough for study/work

Like English isnt my native and its not perfect 100% but I can study or work with it

[opal sequoia]

Yes, most of the really important grammar is what you learn in A1-B1.

[wind veldt]

Even for my native tongue I dont know all grammars lmao

[opal sequoia]

The beginner level grammar is really essential.

You'll make yourself suffer for nothing if you don't learn at least that.

[wind veldt]

My goal is to do C1 lol

[opal sequoia]

This part continues though. Learning vocab. You do have to keep doing that forever.

[wind veldt]

yes but wont it get like English ?

[cobalt valley]

I feel the same with Gaulish and I've been speaking it for almost 20 years now

[opal sequoia]

Eventually, sure. How long have you been learning English?

[wind veldt]

My highschool and college were in English

But I remember since early highschool I was able to get a feel for the language and find it super easy learning new stuff

[opal sequoia]

Well, idk how many years that is, but I would assume in the same amount of years from now, you will feel the same way about German vocab.

[wind veldt]

Cool

Languages are weird

I didnt depend on my school to learn English I learned most of it through video games

Meanwhile I also spent 6 years in highschool learning French but I can say my French is basically zero

And I used to get highest marks in French lmao

Fun fact I find learning new things in my native language way harder than English

[plucky plover]

hello

[wind veldt]

God bless English man

Imagine someone struggling with it

[wind veldt]

hallo

[plucky plover]

?

english is easy and its even easier to learn thx to video games i swear

[wind veldt]

I bet if I play games in German it wont be the same

[sick raptor]

Tried playing cyberpunk in German and it was a time

[wind veldt]

Man looking back now it seems like magic

English was a foreign language, you play video game with all the complex completely new foreign grammars/words/word order/alphabet and you manage to fucking actually learn new words

[sick raptor]

It does work I won’t lie

Like Minecraft has actually thought me like tons of words for materials

[wind veldt]

I remember seeing the word coup d'etat in a video game and thinking it was a difficult word lol

[delicate pivot]

Hi

[deep rivet]

hahah literally going through this right now

I don't even want to progress the quest with how much I have to look up in each dialogue

[hearty bobcat]

@peak kraken elo Saw your message in Study partners and sent you a Freundschaftsanfrage

[sick raptor]

I KNOW RIGHT

[deep rivet]

And the fucking timers man... lol. On the clock when I have no idea what I'm saying in the situation

It's kind of funny in my headcanon. My V just has absolutely no idea what's going on and takes contradictory sides on every issue

[sick raptor]

Can’t deny its useful though

[forest apex]

I don’t know what your native language is, perhaps it shares more words with English than with German. In any case, English and German also share lots of vocabulary, so you can learn German better now that you know English. I’d also say I don’t know anything about you, but I firmly believe you can learn German to any level you set your mind to if you put in the time and effort. More concretely, you can absolutely learn German to at least the same level that you have learned English.

[last smelt]

Kinda strange that most of vocab from english don't come from german

[forest apex]

Haus - house
Katze - cat
Pfeffer - pepper
Nacht - night
rennen - run
sprechen - speak

Idk about most as in a majority, but a lot of basic nouns and verbs are pretty similar

[last smelt]

Yes, there are a lot of similarities but I still can't believe that most of vocabs are (or a large amount) comes from romanic languages. Especially french

[forest apex]

On Wikipedia I found 29% French and 26% German, sources seemed pretty vague though. So yeah if that’s true 🥖 has a slightly larger influence

[spare sand]

Schrieben/write is an interesting and less obvious word too. I think of the English equivalent as to scribe

[rocky grotto]

Hallo

[void lake]

That kind of immersion doesnt work forever

Thats the difference

When you do immersion in any language up until age like 13 I believe, you can learn it, or better, acquire it, how most people have english

If you played game in German when you were growing up, it would've been natural to you as English is

[wind veldt]

My native is arabic dude

Even the alphabet is completely new

[forest apex]

[wind veldt]

I had no problem at all pronouncing new sounds in English

Like there is no P or V in arabic

But ich in german is hard to pronounce lol

Also ü

[forest apex]

So what do you suggest instead, just learning by rote memory? Because I think learning with context helps you remember stuff, whatever the stuff is

[forest apex]

Küche

[void lake]

No not what I said

but you just can't do it effortlessly

[wind veldt]

I see

But cant it work after a certain level ?

Like you do immersion after B1

Another interesting thing I noticed despite me feeling very comfortable with English I speak like an idiot

[void lake]

kind of yeah

thats because you dont practice it

[wind veldt]

I think because I didnt practise talking with people a lot irl

[void lake]

doesnt have to be in the past

because you don't

you can still develop it

[void lake]

but you need comprehensive input anyways

stuff you can understand

[indigo adder]

I feel like you learned at least one vocabulary in the gaming session.

[void lake]

Nah I agree but you still cant do the whole language

it can help

[primal sleet]

i can’t play games in english anymore
shit just doesn’t feel right
hi rin

[hot cloak]

Jim kwik is the master when learning stuff. Go check him out and learn about his techniques

[indigo adder]

Yeah that makes sense.

[forest apex]

With this “learning effortlessly” I just wonder whether it’s underestimating the effort people put in to having kids’ material in simple language and teaching kids the language and/or the same things that someone did as a kid being less interesting as an adult

Like I don’t remember learning my native language but obviously I did at some point

[indigo adder]

Hi Lexie. ^^

[void lake]

well yes someone did put effort in, but it was nothing compared to a teacher teaching someone a foreign language after that age

[wind veldt]

I agree with this that

Just think about "wie geht's"

[void lake]

what about it

[wind veldt]

It only takes like a week till it becomes second nature to you

[forest apex]

Wie geht’s wie stehts

[void lake]

yeah you can pick up on basic vocab because you hear it very often

[wind veldt]

Yes it was effortless

[void lake]

I imagine, ignoring the fact you would be bored out of your mind after 3 days, that you could keep rewatching a video to learn the vocab from it

or generally, if you hear a word or a group of words enough times, you can pick up on it

[wind veldt]

Im doing that atm

Better than flashcards

[void lake]

i found just today that i am starting to remember the meaning of sogar

[void lake]

nope its not

you should do both

[wind veldt]

Theres channel on youtube called easy german for vocabulary

[forest apex]

And like people who downplay the thing by saying they “only learn through video games and now I’m such a native speaker”… I’m sure they learned through things other than literal video games, otherwise they couldn’t talk about like politics

[void lake]

I am watching easy german as well

I was reffering to it

[wind veldt]

Flashcards can make you memorize wrong

Like I learned word uhr through flashcards

And I pronounced r like gh

but later on I heard it was r not gh

[void lake]

that has nothing to do with flashcards being ineffective

you do need to hear it anyways

but you need to know the reading rules

once you get those down, you will be able to predict how most words are said

[wind veldt]

Its not that you are a native speaker

But you have no difficulty in learning

Like during highschool my friend saw English as hard as maths

For me it was as easy as learning my native

[forest apex]

There are people who claim to be native from simply playing video games, not saying it’s true just saying these people exist

[wind veldt]

Prior to that I only done video games in English

[wind veldt]

lol

[void lake]

plus, there are decks with native speaker audio

and apps too

[wind veldt]

I spent hella more time studying my native than English

[forest apex]

Like, ok tell me which video game taught you the word for “Top income tax bracket”

[void lake]

Memrise, Seedlang

[void lake]

Overly specific example but yeah that's true

[wind veldt]

Its not just about learning new vocabulary

Its also about feeling the language

[void lake]

Well you wont learn grammar with immersion thats for sure

[wind veldt]

no but you feel it

[void lake]

yeah you think you do

and then you hear people speaking like halfwits

[wind veldt]

Me and my friends who played games in English
During exams we can feel if something sound right or wrong

My other friends had to rely on grammars rules

We also learn grammars but we depend more on how it "sounds"

[void lake]

Depends on how lenient your teachers were about it

[forest apex]

I only play one game and it has no language whatsoever

[void lake]

if they were strict about it, you probably would've done much worse

like sure you can get a feel for it, but then still end up using past perfect where you shouldve just used simple and do bad in a test

[wind veldt]

idk take this for example

You can say
Pick up phone
Pick phone up
Or
Pick it up

But pick up it

Just sounds ugly af

its not pure grammar thing

[void lake]

you cant say pick phone up though

[void lake]

it is actually

there is a rule for i

word order,

[wind veldt]

Now in german you say
Er steht am 7 uhr auf
Or
Er steht auf am 7 uhr

Doesnt sound wrong

[void lake]

um*

yeah you see the issue

[wind veldt]

Idk it didnt sound wrong to me

: P

[void lake]

because you don't know the language well enough

I don't either

[wind veldt]

yes

[void lake]

I can't go by feeling with German yet because I haven't immersed myself nearly enough to do so

Like I have thousands of hours of immersion with English, whereas it's probably a double-digit number for german

[wind veldt]

Whats ur native btw

[void lake]

Serbian

[wind veldt]

Is it hard

[void lake]

Yes very much so

[wind veldt]

Same

[void lake]

And yours is?

[wind veldt]

Arabic

Learning new words in arabic is harder than English

[void lake]

I presume a specific dialect

[wind veldt]

English words are so fucking simple

[void lake]

yeah they are

[wind veldt]

Syrian

[void lake]

because english simplified itself in such a way that there are no cases

and pronouns are also very simplified

[wind veldt]

We have standard arabic but its hard af to speak in it

[void lake]

really? I thought you like just knew it

I understood it was the like language you hear on TV and all

[void lake]

I see

[primal sleet]

yeah i always assumed it was something like Hochdeutsch where they teach you the standard language in school but you speak dialect in your town or something

[wind veldt]

You hear standard arabic in formal situations - prophets videos - Qur'an etc

But they usually have a pre formed speech they read

[void lake]

so on TV they speak your local dialect?

[primal sleet]

so switching between standard and dialect would be more like code-switching in english

[wind veldt]

Speaking it on the go takes lot of effort

[primal sleet]

interesting!

[void lake]

wdym code switching?

[wind veldt]

yes

[void lake]

Because you don't use it or is it more difficult in some sense

[primal sleet]

like how speakers of AAVE switch to standard american english when they’re at work or in formal situations

[void lake]

Aren't they called dialects as well?

[wind veldt]

Its very close to akkusative and dative thing
You add a sound to words based on their word order inside the sentence
So if you were making new sentences in your mind you have to think which sound to add and remember rules etc which is annoying

The dialect throws this stuff away

[void lake]

I see, those might be just regular cases like akkusativ and dativ

every language has them

even english, the so-called saxon genitive is the remntant of the genitive case in english for example

the 's you add at the end of names/words to indicate posession

[wind veldt]

oh thats pretty interesting

[wind veldt]

Iirc you have many cases in Serbian

[void lake]

Indeed, 7 that is

the ones German has + Vocative, Instrumental and Locative

[wind veldt]

You use them even in the dialect?

[void lake]

well you see for Serbian its a bit different

we do have dialects

however

there aren't as many of them

and they are mutually intelligible

also, my dialect is the one upon which one of the main 2 is based, so i just speak standard basically

[wind veldt]

I imagine since you use cases on daily basis it became second nature to you

[void lake]

yeah, most dialects do as well

it's unnatural not to use them

[wind veldt]

I see

[wind veldt]

So you find akkusative and dative easy

[void lake]

not in German

I mean I am getting a hang of them

But in Serbian its very simple

[wind veldt]

Can you give me example in your language

Like write it in English

I can give you one in my native : P

Can someone help me with this? So i wrote this sentence: "Trotz der scheinbar einfachen Botschaft verweist die philosophische, aber zugleich positive Stimmung und die tiefere Bedeutung dahinter scheint geradezu durch."

and GPT recommended this instead: "Trotz der scheinbar einfachen Botschaft verweist die philosophische, aber zugleich positive Stimmung darauf, und die tiefere Bedeutung dahinter scheint geradezu durch."

i dont get why the "darauf" has to be there

[valid owl]

Ich habe die Erfahrung gemacht, dass Chatpgt nur kleine oder fast sinnlose Korrekturen macht

[valid owl]

aber ich denke du hast ein Fehler gemacht? Bin kein Lehrer aber du hast den Hauptsatz nicht beendet

[clear sedge]

jaaaaaa

dasselbe GPT hat gesagt

[cold scroll]

Nein die Korrektur macht Sinn

Dein originaler Satz hört sich falsch an

[clear sedge]

hmmmm

[cold scroll]

Kommt aber drauf an was du sagen möchtest

Du verwendest in deinem Satz „verweist“, sagst jedoch nicht „worauf“ verwiesen wird

[clear sedge]

"Despite the seemingly simple message, the philosophical but at the same time positive mood, and the deeper meaning behind it seems to shine through.

[valid owl]

Du brauchst einen Punkt zwischen "message" and "the philosophical"

Ich würde lieber zwei Hauptsätze benutzen

[cold scroll]

In that case you don‘t need to use the verb „verweisen“ at all.

[clear sedge]

eigentlich eine besser Idee, aber ich will gern sie sammeln

[valid owl]

mmm

[clear sedge]

soooo genitiv?

so like "Trotz der scheinbar einfachen Botschaft der philosophischen, aber zugleich positiven Stimmung [...}"

[cold scroll]

I‘d say

Trotz der scheinbar einfachen Botschaft scheint die philosophische, aber zugleich positive Stimmung, und die tiefere Bedeutung dahinter geradezu durch.

Sorry for all the typos, I‘m using my phone rn.

its ait, me too

but i get it, your just using the same verb to describe everything

quite clever

actually

[cold scroll]

Hmmm, well you‘re doing the same in your English sentence, aren’t you? 🤔

[valid owl]

"Trotz der scheinbar einfacher Botschaft wird die philosophische aber zugleich positive Stimmung und tiefere Bedeutung dahinter bemerkt"?

ich kriege Kopfschmerzen

[clear sedge]

Okay what abt this:" Trotz der scheinbar einfachen Botschaft wird die philosophische, aber zugleich positive Stimmung, und die tiefere Bedeutung dahinter gezwunget, dazu geradezu durch zu scheinen."

[clear sedge]

heheh maybe

[clear sedge]

thats also good, get well soon

[valid owl]

haha I didn't mean it literally

[clear sedge]

ahhh

missclick

[valid owl]

ohh

[clear sedge]

btw, english isnt my main language, and i dont usually translate to that

[valid owl]

naja deine Version ist besser eigentlich @cold scroll

[cold scroll]

This is gramatically wrong, you could say „… dahinter gezwungen durchzuscheinen.“

[valid owl]

but it would change the meaning to "its obligated to shine" no?

[cold scroll]

Yesh, it has a diff meaning

[valid owl]

habe ich es auch verkackt? x3

[clear sedge]

"throught the ... it is forced to shine right through"

[clear sedge]

jaa, das stimmt, aber ich versuche eine Niveau höher zu springen.

[valid owl]

Viel hängt vom Kontext und was du sagen möchtest ab

[clear sedge]

Also, hier ist der ganzer Absnitt: "Johann Wolfgang von Goethes "Gefunden" (1813) und Max Dauthendeys "Nur ein Lied färbt die Grauseele bunter" (1925) sind beide gekennzeichnet durch das Motiv sowohl der ewigen Natur als auch der gefühlsmäßigen Reflexion, sondern es stellt eine Vielzahl von Perspektiven dar, die die Schönheit des Lebens reflektieren. Während Goethe zeigt eine harmonische Vereinigung zwischen dem Menschen und der Natur, und Dautendey unterstreicht das Wunder hinter der Kunst, in der alles in der Grauseele in etwas Helles verwandelt werden kann. Trotz der scheinbar einfachen Botschaft wird die philosophische, aber zugleich positive Stimmung und die tiefere Bedeutung dahinter geradezu dazu gezwungen durchzuscheinen "

[cold scroll]

„einfachen“* but diff meaning again

[clear sedge]

die letze Satz ist die Satz, die ich mit ihnen geteilt habe

[valid owl]

danke schön, hab versucht x3

[clear sedge]

es funtioniert für mich allemal

[clear sedge]

ill use this, sounds good to me

or actually, what abt this " Trotz der scheinbar einfachen Botschaft wird die philosophische, aber zugleich positive Stimmung und die tiefere Bedeutung dahinter geradezu dazu gezwungen durchzuscheinen"

[cold scroll]

Yes this is good

[clear sedge]

Yesss

Less goo

Finally

Ths for the help @cold scroll @valid owl

[valid owl]

kein Problem ;d

[cold scroll]

No problem

Is it weird that you oddly understand German but can't write because you haven't learnt how to say stuff yet

[strange dirge]

im kond of at that stage

or, i can understand a lot more than what i can write

i still cant understand a ehole lot

[empty spindle]

I'm kinda opposite. I have almost no problem speaking it (I think - I use Duolingo and just joined this server), but can't really understand it half the time.

[wind veldt]

Im recent learner but I understand scattered words and my brain fill in info to make idea of whats being told

Its kinda funny weird thing

[feral ore]

Not that weird, especially since there's a huge difference between passive and active vocabulary and mastering the expression of a language is harder than mastering its comprehension.

[rocky goblet]

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

Depends what you really mean by what you understand but yes generally speaking the average person will always understand more than they can produce

Its like watching a comedy sketch - you understand it and you laugh

[wind veldt]

Hey

Why do germans say "oder" a lot while talking

You know in English you dont say "or" a lot

[rugged kindle]

Well at the end of the sentence it often means like "Isn't it?" / "Doesn't it?" etc.

— Du kannst Deutsch, oder?
-> You know German, don't you?

[wind veldt]

oder

[rugged kindle]

?

[indigo adder]

Please don't ask the same questions in differenet channels. Try #questions .

[visual pike]

Yeah I think most centeal european languages do that, it’s common in Croatian at least

[dense owl]

They do?

I'm not sure

[indigo adder]

Das stimmt nicht, oder doch?

X]

No, I also think oder isn't that often used...

[wind veldt]

Well I have insta full of german contents

And I keep hearing oder like every two reels lol

I also hear the verb machen alot

Though it makes sense since its the equivalent of "do" in English

[dense owl]

Depending on the content, the word could be overrepresented

[rugged kindle]

Der Weihnachtsmann hat also recht, oder?

[indigo adder]

whatever you've heard about duolingo, it isnt a bad supplementary resource, only bad if its all you do

take as much input as possible, movies, shows, podcasts, music, reading, etc

with german subtitles^

would also highly recommend watching Extr@ auf Deutsch, its free on youtube

textbooks arent bad either, theres free ones in the thing you get from doing >faq resources

Hallo zusammen

Guys

I have an important task

[rugged kindle]

hi summi

[empty meteor]

I quit Japanese due to Kanji and how many anki cards I have to do each day. What language should I study? I was thinking come back to German, go to Hungarian as I am part Hungarian or Korean but I'm unsure!

Can someone help me decide

I can not remember Kanji so it takes all fun I can get out of learning a language

[tulip eagle]

do magyar

(aka hungarian)

[empty meteor]

Ik but Im unsure if I wanna

[tulip eagle]

does ur family speak it

[empty meteor]

only the 2 of my hungarian that Ik and they are both old

most of the family who speaks hungarian is in hungary

and I dont know any of them

[simple valve]

@empty meteor Learn Basque

[empty meteor]

nah Im probs gonnna learn Russian

[cold scroll]

Is it really just the Kanji you struggle with or the amount of cards in general?

Because you will most likely pile up a huge amount of cards in whatever language you learn, just by learning vocab. Make sure you learn at max 20 new flashcards per day, otherwise you will drown in reviews after 3-5 weeks.

[empty meteor]

I was doing 10 a day

[placid marsh]

Why Korean

[empty meteor]

Idk

[clear sedge]

imma do japanesse after this school year, and imma do that

[tough plover]

I suggest learning Mandarin first. It is easier than Japanese and once you know it, it is easier to learn Japanese in the end. Believe me. I tried to learn Japanese and I couldn't do it. I learned Mandarin (cuz my cousins speak it) and I understood Japanese better.

[clear sedge]

How long did it take to learn mandarin?

Cuz my plan was to learn japanese then the other eastern asian languages

[tough plover]

Less than a year. My cousins taught me and I saw them everyday, so it took a lot less time

plus i went to Taiwan with them

I think I might've learned in a summer

[cold scroll]

That's such a weird advice, wtf

Standard Mandarin doesn't even use the same set of characters as Japanese and its grammar is completely different. It will barely help you learn Japanese at all.

The only advantage I can think of is, that you could probably memorize the On'Yomi readings better, but that still seems very inefficient.

[clear sedge]

Im confused, what am i supposed to do

[cold scroll]

If you want to learn Japanese, just start learning it right away. There's no point in learning Mandarin first, that would be an unnecessary detour from the direct path to learning Japanese.

[clear sedge]

Ahh oki doki

Imm gonna learn mandarin afterwards anyways, so i dont think it matters that much

[cold scroll]

Yeah, but you’ll probably have to prioritize. If you’re a native English speaker and not a prodigy, you realistically won’t learn either of these languages within a single summer. In fact, you’ll likely spend about 1–2 years just reaching a basic conversational level. Reaching C1 typically takes the average English native around 5 years of dedicated study.

[clear sedge]

No worries i went from A1 to B2 in like a summer in german, but i like learning languages when its hard, so i think ill manage

[clear sedge]

Pluss i only do german for school, and now that the writing and whatever gets easier, i just dont have fun with it. So i want a challenge that im gonna spend some time with

[cold scroll]

I don't think learning German as an English native is really comparable to learning Japanese as an English native, but yeah you'll manage for sure. It'll just take way longer to reach the same level of proficiency in those languages. 😅

[clear sedge]

Hahah yeah true enough

Imma have to do some more german tho, need C1 certification for exchange year in germany

So i have a good 6 months to think things over

[cold scroll]

Good luck, your German seems to be pretty good already, so I am sure you'll do it.

[clear sedge]

Yayy, thx 😄

[floral elbow]

In a language like Japanese or Hindi, you also have to learn an entire different character and symbol system than in English.

I did Hindi till 2nd Grade, but I was so bad that the school said I didn't need to do it because there was no point as I wasn't even able to understand what the questions asked, both when written and orally expressed.

[cold scroll]

Exactly, that's why imo, comparing studying German as an English native to studing Japanese as an English native will set you up for failure lol

[floral elbow]

Well, I mean, it'll be harder, but I know some people who tried that and they're quite good at Japanese.

[cold scroll]

Well ofc, many people are!

But it's about the verzerrte Erwartungshaltung am talking about ;)

[floral elbow]

German and English are Germanic Languages, which also helps because that means some of the words come across easily.

Personally, I struggle with remembering words in German. Ich kann nur einfach Deutsch sprechen

I should've learnt German a long time ago, but when you live as a German Expat in India for 17 years, you come to realize that it's pretty much a rarity for a school in India to offer German as a foreign language.

[cold scroll]

Yeah I understand that 🤔 With languages it's (sadly) a "use it or lose it" type of thing.

[floral elbow]

Well, in my case, it was a matter of not even having an opportunity to learn German in school, because my parents spoke to me only in English in the family and even today despite growing relevance between Germany and India relations, German still isn't offered as much as other foreign languages in even the best International schools in India.

There is no German community in India as well, because there's only around 12000 German citizens in India.

Both of those aren't great conditions for a German Expat like me

I'm a little peeved that Duolingo is taking away the option to practice for hearts. Now it's purely ads, on my app at least. So I've been splitting my time between:

1. Duo
2. Busuu
3. Clozemaster
4. Drops

[onyx jacinth]

[undone bluff]

Hallo!

Hi gang

[woven mauve]

I’d say Busuu is a lot better than Duo

Just the fact that you can get people to correct you is more valuable than any goofy ahh lessons these apps have

[strange dirge]

i dislike duolingo

the aforementioned ads for hearts and the herat system in general is just annoying

[undone ermine]

Great list, how does Drops work?

Duo's really not a great way to make progress in any language after the beginner to intermediate levels

[flint steppe]

plus all the ai shit

[undone ermine]

The pronunciation is horrendous

It's a great word game app, and I love word games. Not really a language learning app per se, it's just a side effect of playing Duolingo IMO

[strange dirge]

how does it utilize ai? i havent used much duolingo in a very long time

[limber thunder]

I'm 16, so I'm not legal either

[low drum]

What does legal mean in this context

[hot cloak]

ein monster

look dualingo

[limber thunder]

I usually say this as "I am not 18"

"I am not legal" is probably a shortened version of " I am not legally allowed to drink "

[limber thunder]

Wait, it's neuter?

[low drum]

In Germany you are allowed to drink with 16

[primal sleet]

ja

[limber thunder]

Oh

In Italy you need to be 18, my bad

[low drum]

Sad.

[limber thunder]

i’ll be able to drink when i visit germany cuz i’ll be 16 atp teehee

[limber thunder]

(I 100% didn't learn it from Duolingo. They're too family-friendly to put such a sentence)

[hot cloak]

be really careful

I know your location

[primal sleet]

people who live in far northern states will sometimes drive to canada just so they can drink at 18

[low drum]

Yeah. But only beverages like wine, beer and champagne

[limber thunder]

.. Ok

[limber thunder]

[primal sleet]

i’ve had german beer once it was fantastic

something paulaner iirc

I tasted alcohol only once (it was a glass of wine, which I didn't even drink completely)

Didn't like it

Like, I tasted only a drop of that, and then immediately went back to water

[primal sleet]

probably cheap wine 🙄

people be sleeping on german wine icl

[limber thunder]

There are some people that don't like alcohol, maybe I am one of those

[low drum]

Whats icl

[primal sleet]

i can’t lie

[limber thunder]

I don't really know tbf

[low drum]

What does "be sleeping on" mean

[low drum]

I think this is an acquired taste

Like beer

[limber thunder]

Just very slang english, I don't really know how to translate that though

[primal sleet]

if people are sleeping on something it means that thing is underrated or largely ignored despite being pretty good

[low drum]

Oh.
Maybe.
We have a lot of wine

I grew up in a region where a lot of wine is produced, I even helped with the wine picking sometimes

Du kannst dich bewerben, hier auf dem Server Sessions abzuhalten

Dann hast du wahrscheinlich ein großes Publikum

Wenn du lieber 1 zu 1 Unterricht geben möchtest, kannst du mal in #1065443550004781067 reinschauen, dort gibt es sicherlich jemanden, der etwas sucht

[tardy dust]

Danke schön für Ihre Vorschläge;)

Leider kann ich dort nichts posten 😦 auf der Seite find study Partners )

[open nimbus]

@sawolen

[primal sleet]

if you’re willing to spend 5-6 hours a DAY don’t even worry you got it

[spiral fulcrum]

why cant i start a game in vc?

[woven mauve]

Yes def with that time commitment

Also send me ur study program when ur done

[clear lance]

if you do manage to meet that amount of study time you'll definitely see good results by then, but if you wanna be the most efficient I'd personally recommend spending most of your time listening to/reading German content that you can mostly understand but not fully, and spend the rest studying grammar and vocab however works best for you, personally I have found practicing with a textbook to be very effective but they're not for everyone, additionally, using Anki (or another flashcard application) to study vocab is great, just watch a couple YouTube videos on how to set it up and you'll be good to go. good luck on your studies!

[hollow cobalt]

This is what I love about German.... I've never seen the term 'Schreibtraining' before but I get the idea

[proud horizon]

sure!! thankss

[proud horizon]

hmm I'll look into it... you're at which level?

[clear lance]

around A2 by my own estimation, however I've gotten to where I am quite quickly in the time I've spent with the language

[split verge]

Hi

[digital escarp]

German has so much of this lol like once you learn the first 2000 words or so the rest are just combinations with each other

[hollow cobalt]

Indeed. Many words even if I've never seen them I understand at least the literal meaning, though the exact sentiment may escape me.

[left jolt]

Not really so but a lot do yes

[low drum]

You should trainieren your schreiben

[hot cloak]

English X German duet

You solltest more trainieren

[low drum]
