[bold pelican]

Beide Optionen machen Sinn mMn. Aber "Deutsch", großgeschrieben, passt hier besser

also du hast recht

[hushed quarry]

I see

[vocal knoll]

In diesen Sätzen ist 'deutsch' aber kein Adjektiv, sondern ein Adverb, da es die Eigenschaft einer Tat bescheibt, und nicht eines Objekts.

Verändert die Kernsache nicht, allerdings ist mehr fachsprachlich korrekt

Adjektive antworten auf die Frage: "welcher/welche/welches?" und sind an Substantive gebunden
Adverbe antworten auf die Frage: "wie?" und sind an Verbe oder Adjektive gebunden

[bold pelican]

das weiß ich aber ein anfänger würde das nicht verstehen

diese hilfsfragen zu benutzen (auch bei den fällen, also wen/wem/wessen usw) um die grammatik zu erklären ergibt keinen sinn

[vocal knoll]

Mir persönlich helfen die, denn ich habe ein ähnliches Fallsystem wie im Deutschen in meiner Muttersprache und ich wurde noch in der Schule gelehrt, die Fälle von Wörtern mithilfe der Fragen zu erkennen

Es hilft, die Struktur und Logik der Sprache besser zu lernen

Vielleicht ist es auch einer der Gründe, warum Linguisten Sprachen so schneller lernen. Weil sie abstrakter denken und alle parallele und ähnliche Mechanismen zwischen den Sprachen erkennen

[bold pelican]

ein ähnliches Fallsystem; Wörtern

aber ja das stimmt in meiner sprache (polnisch, die slawische sprachfamilie )gibt's auch so was aber wenn jemand aus einem englischsprachigem land herkommt, hilft das nicht mehr

Übrigens, Ich habe in meiner Muttersprache ein ähnliches Fallsystem wie im Deutschen würde natürlicher wirken. Siehe: #questions message

[vocal knoll]

Mag sein. Letztendlich habe ich slawische Wurzeln auch

[vocal knoll]

Junge, es gibt sogar ein Thread für mich. Danke

[spark condor]

Hallo wie geht es dirr?

[deft wyvern]

@trail locust was sind or waren deine Ankiseinstellungen

[remote oasis]

Ich bin sehr gut

[trail locust]

Es ist eine Weile her, seitdem ich Anki benutzt habe. Anfangs habe ich 20 neue Wörter pro Tag gelernt, aber nach ein paar Monaten wurde das nicht nachhaltig, weil es so viele Karten zu wiederholen gab.

Dann habe ich es auf 12 gedrosselt, und das war viel nachhaltiger.

Ich habe auch die Einstellung geändert, nach der man alles von vorne anfangen muss, wenn man ein Wort nicht kennt. Ich habe stattdessen gesagt, wenn ich es vergessen habe, verliere ich 50% meines Fortschritts, aber nicht gleich 100%

[spark condor]

Super, ich freue mich für dich.

[red widget]

HI

[random patrol]

Es ist eine sehr effektive Methode.Danke

[deft wyvern]

Ich habe es jetzt auf 10 neue Wörter und 100 Rezension aber ich gibt 2000 neue Wörter zu lernen und ich weiß nicht ob ich die Zeit dafür habe. Ich muss beim Ende der Jahre (oder Januar) die Prüfung bestehen

vielleicht mehr, ich habe nicht die verben mit nomen and nomen mit präpositionen eingesetzt.

„Hallo! Wie geht's? Willkommen in der Welt der Pokémon! Ich bin Prof. Esche! Die Leute nennen mich auch die Pokémon-Professorin. Wie du vielleicht weißt, wird diese Welt von Wesen bevölkert, die man Pokémon nennt. In den Pokémon schlummern geheimnisvolle Kräfte. Begegnen kann man ihnen beinahe überall und es gibt eine große Vielfalt an unterschiedlichen Arten unter ihnen. Die Pokémon und wir Menschen ergänzen uns ganz ausgezeichnet! Wir führen ein Leben in Eintracht mit ihnen und helfen uns gegenseitig, wo wir können. Um das Band der Freundschaft zu seinen Pokémon zu stärken, ist es sehr beliebt, mit ihnen gegen die Teams anderer Trainer zu kämpfen. Tja, und ich habe mein Leben der Erforschung der Pokémon gewidmet! Aber genug von mir… Erzähl mir doch lieber ein bisschen was über dich! Bist du ein Junge oder ein Mädchen? […] Aha, ein <gewähltes Geschlecht> bist du also! Habe ich das richtig verstanden? […] Jetzt wüsste ich noch gern, wie du heißt. Verrate mir doch bitte deinen Namen! […] <Name des Spielers> heißt du also. Ist das richtig? […] <Name des Spielers>…

[hasty socket]

yeah there's quite a few words in there i've never seen before, but through context it's not that difficult to understand. you're in for a whole lot of pain tho!

[spark sierra]

I think I'm going to just... jump to B1+ level reading if I keep trying to earnestly go through this.

Lol

I'm looking up about 10% of words actually. You are right that context clues (including game audio/sounds) are helping a LOT.

So I'm able to make intelligent guesses at a lot of things. It also helps that I know what the intro to Pokemon is supposed to be saying...

[opal sequoia]

Like what?

[hasty socket]

bevölkert, Vielfalt, Eintracht, gewidmet

[spark sierra]

Möchtest du das Spiel speichern?

Why does subjunctive keep coming up in this?

I'm glad that I kinda-sorta read about it...

[hasty socket]

do u know the diff between this vs "wollen'' in a similar manner?

[ocean knoll]

a1 words

[opal sequoia]

Because it's polite speech.

Konj II used for politeness is an A1 topic because it's very common.

[spark sierra]

As in subjunctive wollen? Not really.

I understand that subjunctive is basically the difference between "could" vs "can" in English.

[hasty socket]

well no. like base pointed out, the subjunctive is used for polite speech. it's ''would you like to'' vs ''do you want to''

[spark sierra]

Ah, I see.

[hasty socket]

it could've said ''willst du das Spiel speichern'' but that's less friendly

[spark sierra]

Well, its sink or swim. That's like 8 or 9 subjunctive conjugations already.

[opal sequoia]

It should mostly be the same verbs.

Or are you saying there's already 9 different verbs?

[spark sierra]

Hmmm, sein and können (from my memory).

But it feels new because I never studied it yet.

Möchtest as well.

[opal sequoia]

Yeah, those are common.

You will probably see sollte as well.

[spark sierra]

and würde

[opal sequoia]

Wäre, hätte, würde, möchte, sollte, könnte. These are the main really common ones. Not sure if I forgot any...

[spark sierra]

Maybe not that one

[hasty socket]

dürfte and wüsste but those are less common

[opal sequoia]

Ja and not sure if they would be likely in the context of this game.

[hasty socket]

i would do this but the only thing is i only know the pokémon names in English, so the German ones would trip me up

that one time @sturdy shadow tried to get me to guess German pokémon names and i hardly got any

[spark sierra]

Well, I'm not going to be competitive in German Pokemon

But I can hopefully beat Elite4.

and other in-game stuff.

Pokemon aren't even the hard ones, the hundreds of attack-names that are now changed is the bigger deal...

[hasty socket]

THE ATTACKS

I DIDN'T EVEN THINK ABOUT THOSE

OH NO

and esp cuz they change things between gens vis-a-vis move powers and effects and stuff

AND the fact that gen 5 introduced a BUNCH of new pokes and moves

[hasty socket]

lol i'm assuming that's Leer

[spark sierra]

It had the sound effects of leer.

But the text scrolled too fast, I can't read if the defense fell >_<

[hasty socket]

yeah the description checks out

''Opponent's Defense value is decreased through frightening gaze''

Verteidigung is defense

[spark sierra]

I know the words Wert, wird, durch and Blick.

lol

aight, its really late. I'll call it here.

[hasty socket]

Gute Nacht! Ich hoffe, du fängst morgen mehr Pokémon™!

[spark sierra]

Oh wow. GUI popped up and made some words obvious lol.

Okay, now I sleep lol.

[sturdy shadow]

It was fun

[hasty socket]

huh, curious that it doesn't use the word Stufe

[trail locust]

durch angsteinflößenden Blick

Angst = fear
einflößen = instill

Through fear-instilling gaze

[dry slate]

@rough coral I found an example of the "infinitive verb in position 1" in speech in this video: https://youtu.be/cRTLJW4uvTE?si=P9pJxiZ7GagrgiIt&t=336

Start at the time stamp, but it occurs at 5:46

Feststellen muss man allerdings, dass sich in den letzten zwei Jahren Erhebliches verändert hat, dass die innenpolitische Situation in den USA aufgeladener ist, und dass das Thema der Demokratie immer weiter in den Hintergrund rückt.

The video has English subtitles; try just listening first and not looking at them.

Fun story. My #1 introduction to German was "Learn German in your car", some audiobook that was in Spottify that I thought would let me learn German.

It was 100% audio based.

It taught that to say that you wanted something, you'd say "Ich möchte ..."

To an absolute beginner.

Anyway, I learn mögen as an irregular verb later, mess up my conjugation forever (wait, mag?? I thought it was möchte?!?!?).

And now back to my "Pokemon" based studies, I'm coming across subjunctive / Konjunktiv II so much that I'm studying. And lo and behold. Its my old friend...

All the way back to "möchte".

Took me long enough to figure out wtf was going on here.

Anyone has tips on how to make my German study more effective? I try to read texts from A2 and B1 (Das Leben) books every day, at least one hour. But I feel that just reading and understanding the german sentences is not enough

[opal sequoia]

The simple starting point is that you should cover all these skills: reading, writing, listening, speaking, grammar and vocab.

So maybe try adding some writing tasks and, if you're not doing it already, some grammar exercises.

I had a vocabulary question for natives… would the term “Giestchen” be understood as a diminutive for “Geist” as in “little spirit” … I searched it and only got results for an insect so guess that’s its formal or colloquial name… is the diminutive term strictly used for the insect?

[dawn perch]

@lethal hazel

Had a fun time reading this.

[lethal hazel]

it a A.I generated?

[dawn perch]

No.

It’s from a Substack post written by a linguist.

the Old English part was towards the end of this paragrah

oukei then

[dawn perch]

How much can you understand by the end? My understanding basically goes out by the 5th paragraph.

[lethal hazel]

talking abut the Danish language (old Norse)

they used to refer it as "Danish" in the 900s-1000s

I'm not quite getting it without any online help

the last sentence yes

English was not spoken by anyone but outsiders?

who have learned it

[dawn perch]

Oh, I see. “Deniscan”.

[lethal hazel]

might be wrong

even if you're getting the words

the translation would still be somewhat off

[lethal hazel]

Beej edere baum, beej edere brum,
dao huërste ein hoège en liège stum.
De liège is hae, de hoège is het.
Ik zeg 't maar det geej det wet.

can u read this without any online help?

[dawn perch]

I can’t.

[lethal hazel]

it's a Dutch dialect

but not quite like Dutch

well it's true

but waiat

wait

the Normans didn't impact the English language among the commoners until some 200 years later

in the 1200s to early 1300s middle English was still kinda similar to old English amongst the "peasants"

it took some time for the commoners to adapt the changes obviously right?

[trail locust]

Ich habe seit 5 Tagen kein Deutsch gelernt.

Hier ist ein Beispiel dafür, dass man "seit" in der Vergangenheit benutzt, wenn es ein verneinter Satz ist.

[trail locust]

@deft wyvern Hier ist übrigens ein Beispiel von "Verben in der rechten Satzklammer (right verbal bracket am Satzende) können an Position 1 gestellt werden."

Breit diskutiert werden soll das offenbar nicht.

(Breit diskutiert werden)1 soll2 das3 offenbar nicht.

"soll" is das konjugierte Verb.
(breit diskutiert werden) = Position 1

Wenn der Satz "normal" aussehen würde:
Das soll offenbar nicht breit diskutiert werden.

Ein einfacheres Beispiel wäre:

Ich kann dem Mann nicht helfen.
Helfen kann ich dem Mann nicht.

Wenn es wichtige Informationen gibt, die mit dem Verb am Satzende verbunden sind, können sie das Verb "begleiten", wenn es an erste Stelle gestellt wird. Zum Beispiel:

Wir werden nicht ins Detail gehen.
Ins Detail gehen werden wir nicht.

Hast du versucht, die einfacheren Sätze zu lesen? Vielleicht wenn du sie zuerst liest, kannst du dann diesen Satz verstehen.

[deft wyvern]

Ich verstehe sie, seit du mir das gelehrt hast.

ich gewöhne trotzdem daran nicht

[trail locust]

Sich gewöhnen, oder?

[trail locust]

Na ja, mit der Zeit wirst du dich daran gewöhnen, vor allem, wenn du konsequent längere Texte auf Deutsch liest, wie Nachrichtenartikel oder Romane.

[trail locust]

"nicht" sollte übrigens vor "daran" stehen

"(sich) an etwas gewöhnen", das ist eine dieser Verb-Präposition Verbindungen. Die Präposition ist wichtige Information für das Verb, sie ist mit dem Verb verbunden.

Wenn du den Satz also verneinen willst (und man verneint einen Satz, indem man das Verb verneint), musst du auch "daran" verneinen, weil es quasi zum Verb gehört.

@hasty socket Pokéballe ??

diese Pokéballe ?

Its... pluralized in German.

Mit diesen Pokéballen ?

OMFG

Okay, I'm starting this over lol

I need to screenshot this.

[hasty socket]

the German for ''balls'' is ''Bälle'' so it would be Pokébälle

-# unless they intentionally changed it to Pokéballe

@sturdy shadow kannstes bestätigen?

weil du diese Spiele gespielt hast lol hab noch nie

[hasty socket]

ja i was right

[spark sierra]

wait

[sturdy shadow]

Yes

[spark sierra]

its both

[ocean knoll]

thats dative

[hasty socket]

well, ''mit'' requires dative case

dative plural is the -n case, with -n on everything as applicable

[ocean knoll]

-n gets added in the plural dative

[sturdy shadow]

UMLAUT!

[hasty socket]

FLYZÖ

[ocean knoll]

ich habe 3 pokebälle. mit den 3 pokebällen werde ich 3 pokemon fangen.

sowas

[hasty socket]

fangen vs einfangen?

[spark sierra]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/bUgIcJkniLY

I swear this just keeps coming up more and more.

[ocean knoll]

both work

[hasty socket]

i would assume ''ein-'' means ''in'' like it usually does

so ''einfangen'' = to capture (in/inside something)

[spark sierra]

fangen so far

[hasty socket]

einfangen here

[spark sierra]

Gosh, now I wonder if I missed the "ein" earlier....

[hasty socket]

https://yourdailygerman.com/fangen-anfangen-meaning/

[opal sequoia]

I think at this point you should definitely be past the chart-checking stage (at least for definite/indefinite articles). If not, you should go back and learn the declensions properly.

[hasty socket]

it means to catch with the sense of ''capturing to keep''

caging

[spark sierra]

zu fangen here and ...

[ocean knoll]

like i said

both work

[spark sierra]

Had to rewind a bit lol. But I did remember correctly. She says zu fangen, fängt, then einfangen.

Yeah, just double checking.

[hasty socket]

it must be a distinction that's more specific in german, cuz i see no reason why they wouldn't use one or the other consistently

devil's in the details

[hasty socket]

''fängt'' is just a conjugation of ''fangen''

[ocean knoll]

the difference is einfangen is more specific about the "catching"

like its more explicit about the being caught in soemthing part

[spark sierra]

On my bad days, I still get sie and ihr, mixed up.

[opal sequoia]

The reason is: it's a natural language and many words have synonyms, even exact synonyms, in every language.

[spark sierra]

But yeah, in this case, its mostly that Pokebälle vs Pokebällen was confusing me.

not so much the article.

[opal sequoia]

Making a mistake is different from feeling like you have to check a chart every time.

[hasty socket]

we already explained this. dative plural requires -n if applicable

[opal sequoia]

The ending is part of the declension that you learn when you learn the article.

[proven elm]

i js say whatever sounds right and hope for the best 🙏

like in english when ppl use your instead of youre

[opal sequoia]

I would suggest to learn it properly. It will make it easier for you overall.

[hasty socket]

that's just an error. not quite the same here

[proven elm]

i know it js forget it from time to time

[ocean knoll]

minor spelling mistake

[opal sequoia]

Sure, like I said, making mistakes is fine.

But you shouldn't feel like you're actually guessing.

[hasty socket]

i mean, unless you're proficient in a language, there are bound to be things u say that contain guesses. like, where to put nicht or if this verb is correct or not for the context

[opal sequoia]

I meant specifically: you shouldn't feel like you're guessing the article. If you feel like that, you should go back and relearn it.

[hasty socket]

If you are from that city or know someone from there, I personally would be thankful 🙏This chat is my only chance, I don't know what else to do. Thanks advance

[sour idol]

What kind of message?

[sand dew]

I just want her to know that I haven't forgotten her.

That's all

I already wrote in many servers, I searched for 1,000 people, I almost lost all hope

[sour idol]

Why don’t you write her a message?

[sand dew]

As far as I know, she deleted all her social media

[sour idol]

I see.

[sand dew]

U really don't have to, but if u know someone from there I personally would be thankful 🙏🏻

I got a friend request from one person who was trying to help but since I'm an idiot i accidentally rejected

hello

[spark sierra]

auf diese Weise

Accusative???

Ugggghhhhh

The abstract stuff I'm still getting Akk vs Dativ incorrect

[opal sequoia]

That's something that you learn forever. It's more like a vocab thing. So you will get that wrong for a long time still.

[tough pine]

as for as i know 'auf' uses way more accusative than dative when it is not about location

far*

are you the guy that'd text her using netflix username after she's already blocked you everywhere

Hello folks I'm new and glad to be here please correct any of my mistakes, may it be grammar, spelling, or pronunciation so happy to be learning here

[wind relic]

Hello everyone can anyone recommend a good source for me to learn german?

[main island]

[lofty lantern]

hi is there anyone relatively new to the language or has just started learning german?

[eternal palm]

Me

[lofty lantern]

i have been learning for like 2 months now and its like i have hit a wall, i know few words but feel like there are many gaps in my learning, also as i advance it keeps getting more complex , do you have any suggestion for that

[eternal palm]

😭

[eternal palm]

Like what?

Do you have an example

[lofty lantern]

lets say i am following the learn german a1 series from yt , and i am currently on dativ case in personal pronoun, but i am still not confident in making sentences , i always mess up the structure and sometimes even use the wrong form of verb or articles

[eternal palm]

Yea that is something you slowly learn

[lofty lantern]

basically , it feels overwhelming to learn new things when i am not confident with the part i have learned already

[eternal palm]

Hmm

Maybe you can ask in #questions

[lofty lantern]

how do you learn german?

[wind relic]

I spent like a week looking for a resource to learn the basics and i still haven't found a good one

[serene agate]

you tube

or in the begginer -german

[wind relic]

I feel stupid that i relied on apps and forgot yt tnx buddy

[serene agate]

np

[safe anchor]

I personally love using the DW learn deutsch website, it's free and they a lot of lessons with videos/quizzes etc... :))))

Their structure is great

[eager fjord]

confirmed, dw learn deutsch is a GOAT

[lofty lantern]

i have recently discovered the german pod website , i think its pretty well structured as well , they also offer flashcards and all

[spark sierra]

Good. You should always feel like you're running into walls (and new walls) because there really is so much to learn here.

For actually measuring progress, I suggest repeating "something". For me, it was Kinderlieder at first. I recognized that I understood more-and-more of some songs the more I studied.

Then I was reading (repeatedly), Cafe in Berlin. Then I started listening to normal German music / pop songs (pop-songs are easier than most other music, because they focus on more common words).

I feel like I'm close to calling myself A2, I feel like my new challenges are "normal" German kid stuff, such as the Pokemon game, real German media like the Maus cartoon, real German Youtube videos, etc. etc.

Most Kinderlieder will require focus and study for you in the A1- level, and even into A2+ level. One's vocabulary just never grows quickly enough, and so many of these Children songs have so much vocabulary... even if their grammar structure is relatively simple.

[coarse forge]

her a1 series is pretty good. I used it and it set a good foundation for me. But... you must pair it with another source of vocab (you can learn more words either by reading stories, or using an a1 anki deck)

It's also good to put the words you learned into use so yeah. Practice speaking + writing
then finally, expose yourself as much as possible to the language (reading + listening)

It's a slow process but you will make progress overtime

and making mistakes is perfectly fine. That means your operating at the edge of your comfort zone. Good.

[lofty lantern]

oh thanks for the suggestions

[lofty lantern]

i'll make sure to check those out, sounds like a great way to learn

[lofty lantern]

for writing i sometimes ask chatgpt to chat in simple german or even give me sentences to translate

[coarse forge]

I recommend chatting more in #german-only or #beginner-german . You're writing will progress better that way imo since you'll be having real convos

also this goes without saying but, your progress will be greater as you spend more time learning :p

But don't burn yourself out since it will be diminishing returns from the point of exhaustion

Hallo, Leute. 👋

Was machst du?

[quasi widget]

🧠 Going to germany in 2 days. In North rhine to learn at a Deutsche intensive school for a year. Any stores youd recommend id put on my visit list? That's common in germany?

[lofty lantern]

sehr danke.

[woeful elk]

All I can give is good fortune to be onto you.

(Bc I’m not German)

[quasi widget]

I kinda did see something about a place in dusseldorf.

[quasi widget]

Danke!

[bleak nova]

yo

[worldly olive]

Not sure which city you'll be at in NRW but the the chocolate museum in Köln and the Haribo store in Bonn are both fun if you have the chance. Also, ask the locals for a Dönerladen recommendation. Have fun! 🙂

[quasi widget]

Another kind german said Köln is a must visit while im in the area if i get time for the Church thats there so Ill put this on this list thank you.

[worldly olive]

The church is amazing! You should 100% visit it. One of Germany's most iconic sites to visit and it's actually pretty close by foot to the museum. That whole region is great for day trips because there are so many different large cities that can all be reached within a few hours by train. When I studied there for a year in university my school offered a special student-only semester train pass that lets you travel anywhere in NRW on any bus, train, or street train. Definitely grab that if it is made available to you.

[quasi widget]

i dont think its available for me but it's okee! I already found a way to pay for the deutsche bahn monthly tickets without a I ban yet! Ill also look for a museum too thank you.

[open nimbus]

<@&305455824174710787> das sehe ich immer

[left jolt]

und bist mittlerweile nicht reich?

[spark sierra]

Das österrichische Gerichte schmeckt mir <----- My tongue HATES this phrase. Apparently I need to practice this a million times tonight.

I always had problems with ö and r together in the same sentence, and apparently I'm discovering I'm also bad at "ch" into "sch"

Like I can do all these sounds individually, but there's something about all of those lined up together that my tongue / mouth gets confused... kinda like a tongue twister.

[eternal dagger]

to be frank I also still have trouble with saying the word österreichische quickly. It's because there is both a „ch“ followed by the „sch“ and I end up either saying them as both „ch“ or both „sch“ lol. Maybe targeted shadowing could help? Like you could listen to a native-speed clip and try to repeat it at the same speed? Or you could even try your hand at some Zungenbrecher (tongue-twisters)

[spark sierra]

I think I'm now okay with the word in isolation, now I need to find a full sentence to copy or something.

It's also different when it's a full sentence and my mind is thinking of other things, rather than being 100% focused on just one word....

The "Gerichte" adds another complication for my tongue...

[eternal dagger]

shadowing may really help you then cause you probably need to hear the Sprachmelodie and everything all together. You can find a youtuber and pause the video every time then say a sentence, then repeat it back. Ideally this would be native-speed content and not super beginner-level stuff but i'm not sure how comfortable you are with listening yet

[spark sierra]

I've been listening to news, poorly

I'm comfortable with native speed even if I'm missing a lot of words.

My brain no longer explodes at native speeds lol.

That was a problem for weeks...

[tawny flame]

how about just writing some original sentences next to it then trying to see if you can do it whilst reading aloud like a proper paragraph

[eternal dagger]

that's good, I think targeted shadowing would really benefit you then. Ive found that after a while, stuff becomes „chunked“ in my mind, where phrases start to become the blocks instead of individual words, and this makes it easier to say stuff quickly

[tawny flame]

muscle memory my beloved

[eternal dagger]

yes 100%. I have a lot of set phrases or fillers that I can just say automatically without thinking

[spark sierra]

I think one major problem I am developing is that I'm getting used to not understanding things at full speed

So it's somewhat becoming a bad habit, where sometimes something within my capabilities comes up but my brain is lazy or something? And decides I shouldn't be listening.

But it's less of a problem than completely shutting down in the face of native speed talk.

[eternal dagger]

hm. I think I had a period like this around month 4-5 in. I don't think it's particularly a bad habit, as long as you're aware of it. I was assaulting my ears with stuff that I probably shouldn't have been listening to at my level back then, and was only getting the main points. I think it's ok to throw in the occasional hard stuff as long as you are also listening to stuff you can get 80%+ comprehension on

i wouldn't say your brain is lazy tho, the content was maybe just a little too hard

[spark sierra]

Yeah, I definitely shouldn't do too much hard stuff. But the deer in headlights feeling was too annoying lol.

So I felt the need to just overwhelm myself and get used to it.

[eternal dagger]

I think this is pretty common among learners. I also went through the phase of freezing up when I needed to listen to native speakers and getting frustrated I wasn't understanding 100%. With more listening I think this will pass for you too

[spark sierra]

Rewind + slow speed helps so much in this.

.75 speed or even .5 speed.

I am actually at 5th month, so right on schedule with you lol

[eternal dagger]

yeah that's true, but at least for me, I just accepted that I wouldn't catch every word, and just learned to let go a little, yk?

[eternal dagger]

haha cool, your level is tbh probably the hardest and most frustrating

I'm at 1 yr and like 3 months and just now feel like I'm getting comfortable listening to a wide variety of native speakers/ accents / etc. So it takes a long time, just trust the process and your ears will do the rest

its a good way imo you just need some way to figure out whether youre making mistakes or not (checking stuff you're unsure about in DeepL or a dictionary or letting people correct you on https://www.reddit.com/r/WriteStreakGerman/)

[trail locust]

Um genauer zu sein:

"Nicht verwechseln" steht auf dem ersten Platz, "nicht" ist nicht alleine da.

1 (Nicht verwechseln)
2 sollte
3 man

[trail locust]

klar

[trail locust]

Jetzt, wo sie wieder in Deutschland lebt, macht sie anscheinend "Street Interviews", die dann notwendigerweise auf Deutsch sind.

[rough coral]

Ich verstehe das, ich wollte einfach nicht so genau sein

[rough coral]

Ah interesssnt

Es ist immer interessant mit Leuten die sich fuer Sprachwissenschaft interessieren zu reden

[trail locust]

Ich erwähne es, weil es eigentliche eine Regel ist, dass "nicht" nicht alleine auf erstem Platz stehen darf.

also i have no idea how to cope with the advanced vocabularly of c1

there are so so so so many new words and i can barely keep up with them, anki is not enough. now i know you're gonna say read more and more and i am trying but it's just TOO MANY NEW WORDS IN ONE LESSON

Du solltest übrigens versuchen, hier immer auf Deutsch zu schreiben. Es ist immer gute Übung.

Du besuchst einen Intensivkurs, oder? intensiv ist das Schlüsselwort. Sie werden dich mit Wörtern vollpumpen. 🤢

Hier ist eine Idee: Versuch, Geschichten aus den Wörtern zu bilden, damit mehrere Wörter in einem Satz vorkommen. Vielleicht kannst du dich dadurch besser an die Wörter erinnern.

Zum Beispiel: der renommierte Prominente teilte seine Meinung in einem Interview mit. Leider galt es als eine Katastrophe, weil seine Erklärung der Klimawandel allen wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnissen widersprach.

[trail locust]

Auch ich weiß nicht, was "schinden" bedeutet, und ich habe schon mehr als 20 Romane auf Deutsch gelesen 😅

Dieser Text ist ziemlich fortgeschritten

Es hilft wohl auch nicht, dass du nur Teile eines längeren Satzes siehst. Wenn du das alles in einem Buch lesen würdest, würde der ganze Satz da sein. Dann ist es viel leichter, den ganzen Satz wieder zu lesen, um ihn zu verstehen.

Hier kannst du nur einen Teil des Satzes sehen, was das Leseverständnis erschwert.

I think this character is meant to be over the target audience's head. An untrustworthy scientist.

[spark sierra]

Most sentences fully fit in the two lines given. This character is an abnormality. Plus he has scary villain music

If anything, the two lines at a time gives me confidence that most lines are going to be easier to translate.

This is this characters introduction. If it's really a kids game, these words (like schinden and qualen) will repeat in the future, offering a learning opportunity for this vocabulary.

Was für Romane? Ich lese fast ausschließlich Fantasy, vielleicht spielt das eine Rolle?

[spark sierra]

Clearly the Pokemon Weiße novel!

[ocean mural]

I dont know how Ive never thought about doing this, gotta play peak gen 5 again

[ocean knoll]

what is that

[bold pelican]

das kam aus dem parfum wenn ich mich daran richtig erinnere

[ocean knoll]

geil

[spark sierra]

Oh boy, have I been misremembering an eszett here?

[ocean knoll]

tfw nicht jean-baptiste grenouille

[ocean knoll]

if you say weiße you have to say edition too

otherwise pokemon weiß

weiße only makes sense when behind a noun

[ocean knoll]

hast du dir die beiden filme und die serie angeschaut?

[spark sierra]

That answers a lot of questions I had actually.

[ocean knoll]

as for the eszett

the reason why there's none is because

when capitalized germans use SS instead of ẞ

because capital ẞ looks terrible

[spark sierra]

Ah.

I didn't even see "edition" until you pointed it out btw. Lol

It's just Pokemon White in English.

[ocean knoll]

yea thats what i remember too

but upon googling i found out that, it does say "white version"

people just dont care about that ig

ẞ- most hated character

i almost feel sad for it

but it does look ugly

what can i say

[clear mesa]

Hallo

Wie kann ich online ein Gespräch machen?

[ocean knoll]

was machst du grad?

[clear mesa]

Ich meine reden nicht nur mit schreiben

Es gibt nur private Raum für diskutieren

[ocean knoll]

du musst in die vc kanäle

#getting-started

[ocean knoll]

wenn du grad in die kanäle nicht reinkommst

lies das ganze durch

dann weißt du auch warum

[bold pelican]

Ich wusste überhaupt nicht dass es ne serie gab und ein film das 2 stunden dauert ist wohl nicht genug die geschichte auf eine gute weise darzustellen

lolo hat mir einst das film erwähnt

[hollow arch]

Breznew und Honeker Sowjetunion und DDR Anführern

[ocean knoll]

der film

[bold pelican]

wirklich?

das fucked up

das crazy

[ocean knoll]

ngl das verb 'erwähnen' mit nem dativen objekt seh ich auch heute zum ersten mal

jemandem etwas erwähnen

kp ob das geht

find ich komisch erhlich gesagt

[ocean knoll]

in der serie und in dem letzten film geht es nicht mal um grenouille

[trail locust]

Sie haben doch in jüngster Zeit ein großgeschriebenes Eszett eingeführt, oder?

https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Großes_ß

Über seine Aufnahme in das deutsche Alphabet wurde seit Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts diskutiert. Anfang 2008 wurde das große Eszett als neues Zeichen in den internationalen Standard Unicode für Computerzeichensätze aufgenommen, am 24. Juni 2008 trat die entsprechende Ergänzung der Norm ISO/IEC 10646 in Kraft.[1] Seit dem 29. Juni 2017 ist das große Eszett (ẞ) Bestandteil der amtlichen deutschen Rechtschreibung.[2][3]

[ocean knoll]

wär schon möglich

aber es sieht immer noch hässlich aus

[bold pelican]

jemandem gegenüber

das ist die richtige version

[ocean knoll]

das hört sich jedenfalls richtig an

[bold pelican]

von verbformen.de und zuzu bestätigt

was neues wurde heute gelernt

[ocean knoll]

geil

ich konnte es nicht herausfinden

[ocean knoll]

ich auch tbh, weil mir die richtige form nicht eingefallen ist (es war wohl im passiven wortschatz)

[grizzled blaze]

@tepid coral Thank you for completely rewriting my email. Upon seeing how you "corrected" it, I showed it to my teacher. I thought I was completely failing at writing emails at B2 level. When he saw your "corrections", he laughed and called it BS and told me to ignore it.

Your writing was grammatically correct, but your sentences were nonsense or ridiculous. He said it looked like a C1 speaker trying to show off their language. You rewrote my letter and in doing so you failed to meet the requirements of the task.

Your email (since you completely rewrote mine so it wasn't even mine anymore) is a perfect example of how a B2 complaint email should NOT look like.

Please do us all learners a favour and do not correct any more writing exercises. Because you are doing more harm than actually helping somebody.

No offense and thank you ☺️

[ocean knoll]

who hurt you

[grizzled blaze]

Somebody who should NOT be correcting others

[bold pelican]

passiver wortschatz mein geliebter

[tepid coral]

🤣🤣🤣

[ocean knoll]

dativ, mein lieber

[bold pelican]

😳

[trail locust]

Kartoffelecke, aren't you paying attention? 😛

[bold pelican]

sollte eine B2-e-mail nach dummen Regeln geschrieben werden

darf man wirklich keine kreativität darin stecken

[ocean knoll]

bro was being unnecessarily rude, dont let it get to you

[tepid coral]

That just means in my eyes that B2 means failing a complaint and getting revoked by certain companies forever but I get that it was too high then for B2

If it wasnt to his learning standard i get that

[grizzled blaze]

The only good thing about the COMPLETELY rewritten email is the grammar and ✨️ fancy ✨️ words

If a German teacher says that it's bad, its bad

[tepid coral]

Okay 💕

[trail locust]

Can we see the rewritten email, so we can judge it?

[bold pelican]

if the grammar and vocab is good then whats left

what else is supposed to be good

[trail locust]

There can be a thing that happens where you end up using overly fancy words in a way that ends up triggering an "uncanny valley" situation

[bold pelican]

corporate speak in which official emails are written is uncanny valley anyway

aint nobody speaking like dat

I do understand the concern though makes sense

[trail locust]

they're a specific kind of uncanny valley

[ocean knoll]

well we cant know unless we see it

[grizzled blaze]

Like meeting the criteria of "mention all the things that went wrong". Also suggesting solutions and what you want

[trail locust]

Hence why I asked if we could see the rewritten email

[ocean knoll]

but the way i see, there's nothing that justifies such a reaction

[wet heron]

Hey!! . How can I join the VCS

[rocky goblet]

@wet heron, please read the Roles section in #getting-started for info on how to join VC and more.

[tepid coral]

Well i could provide it as someone leaked it by declining it but i cant leak it without leaking myself 🤣

Not worth my attention

[trail locust]

what does that mean?

without dox'ing yourself?

[tepid coral]

Well I received emails

Yea

[trail locust]

I don't understand how that would dox you, but okay

[tepid coral]

My own mails

[ocean knoll]

you could just copy the important part and paste it here

[tepid coral]

And no it would need 15 crops

[ocean knoll]

leaving out any personal info

[trail locust]

@bold pelican

Like if someone were to write in English and said,

"My most esteemed supervisor,

To my regret, I must inform of an unfortunate incident that transpired on the 5th of February of this year. I was traipsing through the halls of our venerable corporate headquarters, when I chanced upon a free breakfast buffet. Never being one to turn down an hors d'oeuvres, I gladly devoured two delectable donuts. To my horror, I discovered mere moments later that the signage adjacent to the baked good indicated that they were reserved for a specific liaison that was to occur that afternoon.

With utmost genuineness, I seek penance for my misdeed.

Smell ya later,

Bob"

[grizzled blaze]

I have screenshots gimme a sec

[ocean knoll]

wait

let kartoffelecke decide
