general-2

[hollow snow]

90% of my English speaking skills, I owe to speaking with native English speakers in online multi-player

[sage kayak]

My breaks tend to be from something above A1 to A1

[hot cloak]

idid osd i failed and switched to telc

[steep mason]

I didn't take A1 but I did A2 B1 and B2
I passed C1 this year

Tbh I have no idea because I quite literally did nothing in sprachschule

I was a regular class skipper

[hot cloak]

thats honestly huge achievment

[hollow snow]

Hmmm idk what my German accent sounds like because I think I can pronounce most things correctly

[steep mason]

Somehow still got very high scores

[hot cloak]

can u give me tips for b2 exam?

[hot cloak]

ig ur a natural talent

[hollow snow]

Badass aye

Yh everyone's different

Still cool tho

[steep mason]

I think B2 is very grammar and practicality focused

[hollow snow]

Well done

[sand scaffold]

are u taking telc b2?

[hot cloak]

yes

[steep mason]

While C1-2 is more "are you on par with a native speaker" esque

I haven't looked at other exam boards

But I do see a pattern in that being the case

[sand scaffold]

oh same i failed my schriftlich lul but passed mundliche

[steep mason]

Tbh language immersion is the key

[hollow snow]

Yeah, I think they measure how "integrated" you are with the language, but God it's difficult, it's not like the IELTS exam at all

[hot cloak]

i failed on osd hh and know iwill pass the telc exam

[sand scaffold]

c1 means u have fully grasped the language

[steep mason]

I didn't speak any of my native/first languages for two years when learning German

[hollow snow]

Exactly!

[sand scaffold]

thats good if u have confidence

[hot cloak]

you can be a teacher lol

[hollow snow]

What languages do you speak?

[steep mason]

Which ends up in me speaking Dinglish(Deutsch-English) now TwT

[hollow snow]

Okay wait English, German and...?

[hot cloak]

do you have tipps for exam i starting today and idk where to begin

[steep mason]

Hard question

Native: English, Cantonese
First: Mandarin
Grew up with: Indonesian, Spanish, Japanese
Can speak: German

[hollow snow]

Woahhhh

[hot cloak]

ican speak 4

[sand scaffold]

u can do the mock telc

[steep mason]

It's normal for Hong Kong especially if you have international schooling

[hollow snow]

Imma say this in Arabic but mashallah 😳

[steep mason]

Repetition and immersion is key

[hot cloak]

ive heard that telc exams are repetetive

[sand scaffold]

yea but its just to know how the paper goes

[sand scaffold]

it is yea

[steep mason]

But tbh I haven't spoken German in a year
So my vocab has gotten a bit wonky but I think my accent hasn't changed

[hollow snow]

Y'all got me excited about language learning fr haha

[sand scaffold]

oo a fellow hong kong person

[steep mason]

Yepp

[hot cloak]

did you move out from germany ?

[steep mason]

I'm surprised to see Cantonese people here

[steep mason]

I did

I kind of explained why in the other general sub

[sand scaffold]

im hakka but speak cantonese at home

[hot cloak]

is there any specific reason if u dont mind

[steep mason]

My grandpa is hakka I think

Speaks some sort of dialect

I didn't really pay attention

[steep mason]

Because I don't speak Chinese well enough
Sounds crazy but if you scroll up I have a looong explanation in general 1

[sand scaffold]

also telc b2 mundliche could be tricky, cuz when i did it, the moderator just randomly asked me a question, completely out of the format

[steep mason]

They do that a lot but it's normal for any german exam

I did IGCSE German as well as GEOTHE

Very normal

[sand scaffold]

he did not do that to my partner

targeted fr

[hot cloak]

ok then ill see it

[steep mason]

It's to discourage memorising

Like a lot of Asian kids do with English

[sand scaffold]

yea thats fair

[steep mason]

Honestly I used to tutor kids for English

[sand scaffold]

can u still speak canton?

[steep mason]

And I just tell the parents to throw the books away

I can speak but I can't exactly read

[sand scaffold]

ich auch

[steep mason]

If u guys wanna VC I could probably explain more about the exam

[sand scaffold]

chinese ppl tend to memorise everything, without understanding

[steep mason]

GENAU

That's why their mündliche ist so scheiße

Mein Gott

[sand scaffold]

i hate it cuz i for one a chinese cant memorise im just really bad at it

so my vocab isnt as good but when they speak, its really bad

[steep mason]

But my native language(even tho the europeans disagree) really is English

Because I learnt it before Chinese

Arsch

[hollow snow]

What defines your native language though

I speak, read and write English better than I do Arabic, does that make it my native language?

[steep mason]

The language you grew up with imo

You can have multiple

But it doesn't have to be your bes

t

[sand scaffold]

ouh i understand, ur situation is similar to mine

thats what we call a banana

hahaha

[hollow snow]

I guess I'll just put Arabic and English as my native languages haha

[steep mason]

First language is your best and most fluent language in some cases
But I just use it as "whatever language I seem fluent at despite not growing up with it"

[sand scaffold]

u can put both

[steep mason]

For example mandarin because I learnt it in school

[hollow snow]

I've always been faced with this dilemma when asked what my native language is

[steep mason]

Which one did you grow up with?

Honestly native language is as much an identity thing as it is a technical thing

[hollow snow]

Speaking wise would be Sudanese Arabic, because it's what I speak at home, but everything else is English

[steep mason]

So it could be both

[forest apex]

Did you just learn it very well from afar as an adult or did you spend time in an English speaking country or go to school in English

[hollow snow]

Went to a British school my whole life that's why

[steep mason]

It doesn't mean it's your native language even if you spoke Englisch in school

[forest apex]

I see ok so you did grow up with it in school

[hollow snow]

True

[steep mason]

Good example would be the Hong Kongers from international schools

[hollow snow]

Yeah, in school mostly

[sand scaffold]

if u think ur english is up to native level, then sure why not

[steep mason]

Second this

[mental plaza]

ok thank you we can also connect so that i reach you out when am stack

[forest apex]

Yeah so like every subject was taught in English, people talked in English etc

[hollow snow]

Mhm

British teachers too

[forest apex]

I see I see

Ahhh

[hollow snow]

Kinda weird

Idk really, most of the time I can't tell if I'm good or not. Too much imposter syndrome

Oh well, I'll just put both ig

Thanks 😛

[wind veldt]

idk man whats one supposed to do then

[hollow snow]

Full on immersion

And practice

I really don't think there's another way

Just this difficult, annoying and very unnerving truth

So inconvenient

[sterile sundial]

Ich bin A2 und möchte ich mann mit mir deutsch sprechen

[wind veldt]

Immersion isnt working for me

honestly I think one should just stick to what he can make progress in

for me as early A2 I feel the only things I feel are making progress are vocabulary expanding and nicos weg

[hollow snow]

Do what feels right for you tbh

Don't force it

But also get some guidance if you can

[weary shell]

Good day. Does anyone here have interest to set a regular daily German study group? We can learn some German words or say something in German together

[thick oxide]

I'm interested but when would be the scheduled time?

[tropic lion]

I was wondering if this Discord already had something like that. I'd love a casual weekly meeting or something to get some practice speaking. I feel like that will be the hardest part for me. I can hardly recall words in English 🤣

[tribal meteor]

Does anyone know if there is a Norwegian learning server?? I’m also trying to learn since my moms side is from Norway but I can’t seem to find one 🙃

Also if anyone has any book recommendations for learning German lmk!

faq chatgpt

[rocky goblet]

**AI-generated text**

This FAQ explains rules and advice for using text AI tools such as ChatGPT.

🔹 **Server rules regarding this topic:**

• Do not answer any questions by using AI-generated text.
• Do not ask for AI-generated text to be corrected.

🔹 **Problems with using AI for answers and corrections**

• No fact-checking: Tools like ChatGPT are very good at writing texts and often provide answers that sound good, but they are not capable of fact-checking their own answers.

• Fake information: It’s very common for these programs to make up fake or incomplete information, which is explained convincingly but is mostly wrong.

• Non-deterministic: The information is also partially randomly generated, meaning that if you ask the same question multiple times, you will usually end up with different answers.

• No language knowledge: It shouldn't be used for grammar or vocabulary questions, as it doesn't understand linguistics, nuance, or how a native speaker might actually use a given word or grammar point.

• Missing context: When correcting texts it needs to understand what the writer was trying to express. As such it may miss mistakes or correct things that don't need to be corrected.

🔹 **Reasons NOT to use generative AI for learning**

• It delays the development of important skills in language learning.
  Relying too much on AI generated texts or solutions may get in the way of learning the necessary skills of language acquisition, such as how to look up words or phrases in a dictionary, using critical thinking, or actually applying learned concepts.

• AI is not designed to guide learners.
  If you ask an AI a question, it will provide you with information, whereas if you ask a human, they will ideally ask you to show your understanding and offer advice on how to find the answer.

• AI output requires scrutiny
  AI output must be verified, but beginners to German or to language learning often lack the knowledge or experience to do so.

🔹 **Good uses of AI-generated text**

• Ask ChatGPT to come up with some story ideas that you can write about.

[celest karma]

i just genuinely had to ask if someone (united kingdom) meant 2:30 or 3:30 when they said "half three"
because i thought it would have been 2:30 because that just makes sense to me
and it turned out to be 3:30

so... i guess i accidentally internalized the german way of referring to time instead of english? that or english just doesn't make any sense (which imo is more likely)

[lost sapphire]

Hi

[crisp terrace]

That’s so real 😭 I’ve accidentally switched to saying ,,also” instead of ,,so” in English and uh I get a LOT of weird looks 💀

[celest karma]

i'm was also a little jarring because after i asked someone else chimed in "they're british not german" and it had the same effect on me as if i had been caught in the middle of a crime

the crime here i guess not being very aware of how english tells time outside of "hour number minute number" form (because i rarely ever use "half past" or "quarter til" or whatever else)

[solid reef]

hello there

i found a way to fix a very big problem in german hallo

[glad stag]

hallo

[solid reef]

hallo

[glad stag]

whats the way

[solid reef]

to add "seun"

because "er isst seinen Hund" and "er isst seinen Hund" - you dont know if he eats his own dog or someone else´s dog

so "er isst seunen Hund" would be eating his own, and seinen would be someone elses

this is a thing in swedish and latin

but in english and german its not, so its unclear and just bad

like we must atleast make this a informal term come on

"there were two knight, one took his sword, but the other one took it and broke it. Why did he break his sword? Because his sword was not his, but his sword" - you cant understand this

so instead of "he took his sword" - you dont know if its his own or someone else´s - in swedish you have "sin, sitt, sina (depending if its neutral word or plural)" to say that it is the subject´s of the sentence sword

like how can you live without this

(afk)

[glad stag]

interesting
we have it similar in polish, the word

mój - mine
twój - yours
jego/jej/jego* - his, hers, its*
swój - someones own

it does make it much clearer what belongs to who, so it is indeed a cool idea

*the neutral forms in polish are... complicated. quite a lot of its use is rather archaic, and still applies to the patriarchal language system in which man or he is seen as the neutral
however, some linguist and LGBTQ advocates propose some alternatives, including jeno instead of jego as the possesive pronoun

just as a side note/fun favt

[solid reef]

o

but seun. like its german, die beste Sprache der Welt, so why dosnt it exist. Sie liest seunes Buch, like its so clear.

[glad stag]

i agree!

i can ask my grammar teacher abt it

[solid reef]

also "seun" like the pronciatunoiociationtion is icon like "sein"

[solid reef]

o

[glad stag]

you mean you pronounce it like sein?

[solid reef]

no "eu" is iconic aswell as "ei" like it fits that it would be seun

also makes it look like the latinic version

[glad stag]

true true

[solid reef]

(but just to make it clear you still say "Ich esse meinen Hund" and "Du isst deinen Hund" and "Ihr esst euren Hund" and "Wir essen unseren Hund" because there is only one that it can be. like only when its "sie, er, es, sie" its seun if its its own)

[glad stag]

yeah, i figured

[solid reef]

ye

[glad stag]

that would make it different from polish. swój literally just means 'someones own' and can refer to any person

[solid reef]

ich esse swój Hund

[glad stag]

you can translate this into polish literally, retaining every single 'his' so it wouldn't make sense. gramatically it is correct, but hard to understand.
buuuut, you can also replace the 'his (implied his own)' with swój, instead of jego and it becomes clear.

[glad stag]

sadly, no
you know Nominativ, Akkusativ, Dativ, Genitiv?
polish has 7 cases instead of 4 XD

[opal sequoia]

There is already grammar in German to solve that problem.

[glad stag]

Mianownik~Nominativ - swój pies
Biernik~Akkusativ - swojego psa
Jem swojego psa.
Ich esse meinen Hund.

[hazy mulch]

Warum esset ihr eure Hunde

[solid reef]

"er isst seinen eigenen Hund" well yes but the problem is that no writes like that

[solid reef]

yes

[hazy mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/gulp-cat-gif-27257259

[snow oriole]

yo @dawn quiver

[opal sequoia]

According to whom did you decide that no one writes like that?

[crisp terrace]

@tepid schooner to answer your question, I just like it more. I can express myself more that way and I can describe stuff better in it.
Also most of my friends don’t speak German, so it’s the language we use to talk with each other.

[tepid schooner]

Ok, understood. One more thing tho: You don't live in a german-speaking country then ig?

[sour idol]

I do.

[chilly seal]

Ich kann nicht auf die Sprachkanäle zugreifen, Hilfe

[tepid schooner]

How come you don't use German that often then?

I mean, apart from interactions with your friends

[sour idol]

I just use it when talking to family or teaches or if I help the coach with the younger kids. But that’s kind of the only time that I use German. Since my friends are mostly on discord.

[tepid schooner]

Alright👍🏻

[sinful ruin]

Hi! Can anyone help me start with German again? It has been well over a year since last I touched German with any intention of actually improving it and over that year I have felt it slip between my fingers. I don't want to lose my German complete. I wish to relearn what I have lost and improve upon it. Has anyone had a similar experience or just thinks they could be of some help? I would apprieciate anything thrown my way. Thank you

[fathom folio]

Hallo! I’m A1 German - I know very little. But if you’re okay with me speaking a mix of English and German I would love to talk to you

[vital locust]

hello everyone I hope you're all doing well. If anyone already passed the B2 exam can give advices on a good strategy to prepare for the exam.
thank you in advance ^^

[exotic ravine]

so if I have no one to speak with in german is just watching things a good plan. Obviously studying it with textbooks or what ever as well

[wind veldt]

man someday I will come here and write a 5 sentences german text effortlessly

[weary pivot]

I’ve had C1 German, then 5 years gap of no German at all, I literally couldn’t remember how to talk about simplest things, and now I’m back at fluency level, still slightly behind on grammar, but getting there 💪

What level you used to have?

[sinful ruin]

I was a burgeoning B2 if not a little more advanced in some respects. I am now less than that. Between an A2 and B1

[weary pivot]

I managed to get the level back in around 3-4 months, but I was living in Germany at that moment. I had a lot of speaking and listening practice, I guess it’s hard to imitate the language environment fully, but I recommend watching German content, switching your system language to German where possible, get some regular speaking practice, maybe find a willing native (i was lucky to befriend one :D), texting in German also helped me a lot, even though my brain still gets lazy to do it.

I can recommend some German shows, but they often only have German subtitles on streaming :/

Another thing for me was listening to music, reading books I have read before but this time in German, just straight-up relearning words in stacks (I use reword, you can connect it to smart book and read books in German + learn words at the same time)

I also went through a lot of German grammar tests for different levels to identify the gaps in grammar , as I sometimes remembered some high level rules but had no clue about basic things

[sinful ruin]

That would be great if you could recommend some! I would prefer only German subtitles anyway 🙂

Do you have any music suggestions, shows, things to watch, etc?

[weary pivot]

I watched Türkisch für Anfänger, Discounter, and Dark

[weary pivot]

Music—i like Edwin Rosen, AnnenMayKantereit, Mayberg, for some exotic experience you can try Team Scheisse 🥰

I was also watching some young adult movies, something like German Divergent, but Idk if you’re into that kind of thing 😅

[sinful ruin]

I think I've already heard of two or so of these, but never gave them a try. Thanks for the kick to do so!

@weary pivot Do you happen to know any good audio books or anything of the sort?

[weary pivot]

Uhh, I was listening to the Bible, I didn’t really need anything else 😭

[sinful ruin]

Oh 😅 we are very different people

[weary pivot]

Well, I do read books, I just don’t really enjoy listening to them , if that’s what you mean. Quite a strange comment

Good luck with your journey back to the language

[sinful ruin]

Thank you very much! Good luck on your continued journey!

[left jolt]

Usually you dont lose fluency

[small fern]

Watch how to sell drugs online (fast)
Fun and they speak in german

Great and captivating series

[crisp terrace]

Bitte was 😭 🙏

[small fern]

I'm fr

It's a show about a teenager selling drugs across Europe

Seriously it's good

[crisp terrace]

Where can I watch it

Like what services is it o

On* ugh

[weary pivot]

After 5 years of not using the language at all?! If you didn’t , I envy your brain

But I really doubt you actually experienced that 😭

[glacial tree]

Klassiker haha kennt jeder

[left jolt]

Well Im speaking not anecdotally - but anecdotally speaking its been about 3 years with almost no usage of Spanish and I havent lost much and im B1, not fluent

You will certainly see a level of attrition

[weary pivot]

If you were fluent, that fluency leaves you pretty fast. However, it’s also retained quickly. You can read about that on the internet, too

[left jolt]

Although there are edge cases the linguistical consensus is moreso like dropping from C1 to B2 after an extended period of time

[left jolt]

No the science shows otherwise

[weary pivot]

Well, provide proof. And not studies about bilinguals, that’s different

Language attrition is mostly studied on bilinguals, not just learners

[left jolt]

“Any problems that you may encounter are more likely to be the result of a competition for attention and selection that takes place in your brain between your two (or more) languages.”

This is a good summary of how it typically works

[left jolt]

https://www.york.ac.uk/news-and-events/news/2022/research/knowledge-of-foreign-languages-lasts-a-lifetime/

"They found that there was no change at all in language proficiency over time. Participants who had taken their exam 50 years ago and not used French since performed at the same level as recent school leavers, and as well as those who did, on occasion, use French. "

[weary pivot]

This is literally proves me right, and not you:

Researchers highlighted, however, that people will not suddenly find themselves fluent in a foreign language after years of disuse, but the study does suggest that the basics for the language remain in the memory, and therefore it would not take a great amount of learning to pick it back up again at the point where it was left off.

[left jolt]

Yes because I guarantee none of these people were fluent in the first place

[weary pivot]

Also, this is a rewrite of the scientific article, let me point out, one article. This is no proof of anything

[left jolt]

If we are to see those who were B level at best retain the information we can extrapolate that to fluency

[weary pivot]

No, we can’t

But I grew tired of this conversation, you can’t refer to science and then give one rewrite of a scientific article as proof 😅

Shows little understanding of how science works

[left jolt]

I very much understand how this works

Bahrick, B.P. (1984a). Fifty Years of Second Language Attrition: Implications for
Programmatic research. The Modern Language Journal, 68(2), 105-118.

https://languageattrition.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/schmidmehotcheva2012.pdf

Despite the extensive use of English in various aspects of life, Hispanic immigrants maintained a high level of Spanish proficiency.

Isnt even equal you would expect this to happen with a higher chance than the case I am speaking about

[weary pivot]

Have you read the article? ☠️

Even the part you’re quoting is about naturally learned language, not instructed. And the whole article is about how it’s different from the classic approach…

[left jolt]

Yes which would be much more likely to be forgotten and it wasnt

That part surprised me

[weary pivot]

And if you hop on Google Scholar and search through language attrition, there is an extensive body of research about how people lose fluency but not the basics

[left jolt]

Someone having learnt a language as a child and moving somewhere else where they learn a different language is much more likely to experience language attrition than someone who learnt a foreign language to fluency as a teenager or adult

[left jolt]

You should define fluency

That might be our misunderstanding

Some consider B2 to be fluency so even dropping from C1 to B2 ... and that right there is virtually a 50% reduction in ability

[hardy anchor]

It also depends how you define fluent

[left jolt]

Able to express oneself with little hesitation overwhelming using correct grammar/vocab, able to understand virtually everything (within reason), able to read/write to the above standard etc

[small fern]

i use stremio

goated platform

[small fern]

i dropped from c1 to

to a point

a low one

[night crest]

what about master's

also, it should be forbidden to promote that directly unless you get a perm from a mod

[wind veldt]

so you say no one loses fluency ?

[golden kraken]

[low drum]

Ich wünsche dir viel Erfolg!

[strange dagger]

Herzlichen Dank!!

[left jolt]

You can experience attrition - it is just unlikely to truly lose a high level. Im talking maybe you become rusty but after 2 weeks of practice you get the flow back (but your passive skills are still rather good)

[night fjord]

I just finished half my workbook, it's hitting me that it doesn't matter how much I self study. I'm never going to speak well until I immerse more aggressively because language skills is not about remembering rules and solving exercises, rather, it's about building one's intuition.

I just want to finish covering grammar fully and build a decent vocab so that I can enjoy consuming content.

[opal sequoia]

I don't think you will cover grammar fully. Maybe what you mean is that you want to finish the basics?

[night fjord]

Yea, I want to work through my two textbooks

Routledge Basic Grammar and Routledge Intermediate Grammar

[left jolt]

It is hard to notice improvement until you compare months of work to your previous self

[night fjord]

It's just frustrating knowing that I'm going to work through these textbooks and not see immediate payoffs

[left jolt]

Well, everytime you learn a word or truly understand a concept you kinda experience "immediate payoff" but as an overall, yes learning a language is an extremely long process (to be fair most things are)

[opal sequoia]

That's true for anything though, whether it's textbooks or other things.

[night fjord]

Idk, I remember doing math textbooks and being able to implement those solutions to other areas. But year, the best payoffs came much later when I used those concepts more elegantly

[opal sequoia]

Well yes, you can immediately implement anything you learn.

When you learned how to conjugate verbs, you were immediately able to use that.

But it probably just didn't "feel like" progress since it's only 1 small step.

[night fjord]

That's true, but math textbooks are different too. Most people experience being stuck with a particular concept, rather than not being able to memorize it (as is the case with languages), and then when it finally clicks it's a very rewarding moment: it unlocks the next few pages of the textbook

In german, everything makes sense, it's not hard to grasp. It's just that I won't memorize it right away

Anyway, just ranting about my decaying neural elasticity

[left jolt]

It that so?

[night fjord]

I mean, maybe with advanced grammar it's more complicated

But as far as I can see, grammar rules are very simple

[night fjord]

I looked it up and it seems straightforward, relative to doing theoretical math. Like, I could have be tasked with doing a problem set of the Partizipialkonstruktion and if I have a reference textbook to lookup while I craft my answer, I'd be able to achieve a decent score. That's not the case with complex math problem sets because I wouldn't even understand the reference material

[left jolt]

Partially sure but language recall doesnt allow that in speaking

[night fjord]

That's why I'm speaking of complexity and memory. In recall, you're trying to fetch these rules from memory. You were able to construct the rules in your mind (but not memorize them) in a relatively shorter time than what you would in math. Math it's the other way around. You're not even sure what you're trying to memorize because it's complex, but when it clicks, it's straightforward to memorize because you'd see this concept everywhere and you can practically carry out spaced repetition effortlessly.

[left jolt]

Maybe if you are good at math

[fading vine]

i don't understand why my kitchen is a girl according to german

[ocean knoll]

??

[fading vine]

die küche

[ocean knoll]

what's the correlation between that and "girl"

better conclusion to come to why does german want my kitchen to die

die küche

In linguistics, a grammatical gender system is a specific form of a noun class system, where nouns are assigned to gender categories that are often not related to the real-world qualities of the entities denoted by those nouns. In languages with grammatical gender, most or all nouns inherently carry one value of the grammatical category called gender.[1] The values present in a given language, of which there are usually two or three, are called the genders of that language

good morning everyone i hope yall never experience what i just did Was registering for my b1 exam, and since im under 18 my guardian had to register for me. So natürlich i thought my mother had to make an account on the goethe website instead of me. Well lo and behold all the Quittungs have her name instead of mine (although i put my name under participant´s name). And because i was so confused i missed the registration date i wanted and now my exams are like 2 weeks apart. Ive emailed them and let us see what can possibly happen now.

[primal sleet]

Goodluck -_-

it felt like im lightyears away from understanding it lmao

I can understand that pain

I try to use the English language with German subtitles… so I get the hang of sentences but still can’t understand 🤣

[onyx sleet]

idk why it's erdberee. it would make more sense for something like rotberee

[wind veldt]

Übung macht den meister 💪

[left jolt]

what do they have to do with straws?

[unborn wing]

Tbf Game of thrones dub is not for beginners rather watch shows with modern time

[snow oriole]

dubs for live stuff is cancer

animation is at least tolerable

[hot cloak]

Not a fan of dubs but they can come in handy for learners

[hot cloak]

Its earth+ berry

Dunno, it kinda makes sense to me

[snow oriole]

idk how a live action could be handier than an animation
i mean if you're watching something that's natively german sure
but other than that it just sounds weird and works equally as an anime for example

[hot cloak]

I did not make that claim but yeah

Dubbed live action shows are good for people who wanna rewatch them in German

Since they are already familiar with the story

So they would bother more with understanding the structure of the language

[snow oriole]

yeah

[rugged locust]

Try watching it first in English, then do the German dubbed as an exercise. It helped me a little when I already have it in mind what is being said so I could relate to whatever unfamiliar German expressions said.

[wind veldt]

dude I watched it multiple times in English

[rugged locust]

Well German is not that easy at the end haha

is there a good way to tell words that require "dich/mich" etc apart, like a pattern?

[hollow adder]

No, I don't think so, you'll have to learn it

And the case required to form it

[gusty ember]

Guten Mittag zusammen

[harsh cloak]

<@&305455824174710787>

[sudden panther]

Feel free to just stay here and meet people, and practice English for free instead of having to exchange anything.

[foggy flare]

yeah

needed

[wind hare]

Never have i ever seen a speaking cat with a pizza in the hands

Also touching grass

[wind hare]

Can we have a frog role for the frog kingdom?

[sour idol]

I don’t quite understand.

[wind hare]

Like @frog

[sour idol]

That comes from another server.

[wind hare]

[sour idol]

And you would have to ask a mod for a new role here. The Frog tag next to my name comes from another server.

[hazy flare]

hallo

[gusty yew]

How do you say "You can't go" then?

Oh wait, du kannst nicht gehen

[waxen matrix]

Gibt es hier jemanden, der sich auf die B1 OSD Prüfung vorbereiten möchte?

[raw blade]

does german and netherland language have similarities?

like if someone speaks german can he understand nethelandish

[hot cloak]

Both are Indo- germanic languages like english

[lusty jewel]

I think it depends on the person; whenever I listen to dutch music I understand the general gist of what is being said but wouldn’t be able to genuinely translate it

[pearl rune]

Both of them are same

[raw blade]

i see

[pearl rune]

I saw your dp this is bazz force bridge near my home

[lusty jewel]

in what universe

[raw blade]

yea iv'e been there 2 yrs ago

[pearl rune]

my German teacher told me both of them are same

Peoples who know German they can also go to Netherlands and the peoples of Netherlands they speak german

But hoflich

Not like german peoples

😂😂😂

[lusty jewel]

ahh that is true, they are mutually intelligible

[lusty jewel]

I can see that to be true, it’s especially people in the older generations that are more rude towards people who don’t speak german/don’t speak german well

[pearl rune]

Germans are so rude

But the peoples who are in Netherlands they are so polite

❤️❤️🤏🏻🤏🏻

[sour idol]

Don’t generalize people.

[lusty jewel]

maybe they are from northern Germany? they do tend to have a n accent/dialect that sounds similar to dutch and might think both languages to be alike, but I think for example people from southern Germany would have it harder to understand dutch y’know

[low drum]

I recently went to Amsterdam and not many people spoke German

[pearl rune]

Dmn

[raw blade]

.

[low drum]

I haven't seen many rude Germans.
Please don't generalize like that

[lusty jewel]

I’ve been there once and they are pretty nice I guess, I love their Frikantl so much

[raw blade]

my message is getting deleted wth

[sour idol]

[low drum]

[pearl rune]

[low drum]

No.
But there are similarities.
You don't understand much but some things sound very similar.

[raw blade]

so it would be much easier to learn dutch

[sour idol]

How is Taki and how are you?

[pearl rune]

🤓🤓🤓

[low drum]

Better and good.
How are you?

[pearl rune]

I know 8 languages

🤗🤗🤗

[low drum]

Which ones and how fluent are you in them?

[raw blade]

my next goal is dutch. if i make it out alive from deutsch...

[low drum]

Good luck

[pearl rune]

I am fluent in all of them

[low drum]

That's nice.
Do you also know German?

[raw blade]

[sour idol]

That’s good to hear.
I’m somewhere between alright and somehow alive.

[pearl rune]

No worries 🙄🙄

[low drum]

Alive is alive.
Na na naaa nana

[raw blade]

[pearl rune]

[sour idol]

[low drum]

Süßeulchen in der Nacht,
leise fliegt, der Stern erwacht.
Durch den Wald so sanft und still,
bringt es Frieden, wann es will.

[left jolt]

the* English language

[left jolt]

all my time on this shit*

[hot cloak]

I didnt know this was the English language discord server

[left jolt]

Only cuz he claimed fluency in 8 languages

[hot cloak]

Oh, then I'm with you. Go get em lmao

[left jolt]

And English is in 99% of cases one of the best foreign languages a person has

[hot cloak]

Some folks be thinking that just knowing a basic or an intermediate level of the language makes them fluent

[left jolt]

Yea im not sure where the lack of understanding comes from for people who do actually spend time learning

I know someone who claims he can understand russian when i know for a fact he only knows 3 words (curses) and its a genuine belief he understands it for some ungrounded reason - he doesnt even learn languages

[hot cloak]

This one is wild

[forest apex]

Totally possible tho

[left jolt]

Occam's Razor

[forest apex]

Kinda what I’m sayin tho I think the most probable thing in this situation is that someone actually speaks 8 languages

[left jolt]

When someone claims that with imperfect English, the language most likely to be their best, it is not the most probable thing

This is all extremely simple deductive thinking

[forest apex]

Like look at Indians for example I have no idea if this dude is Indian but lots of Indians speak English Hindi and one or two local languages let’s say that’s four languages, then with a bit of work said person could learn four more…Indians don’t always have perfect British/american/whatever English but it is enough for them

[left jolt]

It is a native language for them

[forest apex]

Did he say these eight languages were all foreign to him?
