Besides I can also share the teachers notes

"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 office, when I ran into a free breakfast buffet. I never pass up a good hors d'oeuvres, so I gladly went hog on two delectable donuts. To my horror, I discovered mere moments later that we weren't supposed to eat them, cause they were for a specific liaison that was to occur that afternoon.

With utmost genuineness, I seek penance for my mess-up.

Smell ya later,

Bob"

after a line like I seek penance for my misdeed I would certainly grant my pupil a splendid mark

Das ist also eine Möglichkeit, der Stil kann sich immer wieder ändern, sodass er ungleichmäßig ist. Sehr gehobene Wörter können mit sehr umgangssprachlichen vermischt sein, was dann einfach bizarr vorkommt.

ocean knoll
#

ja, ich check was du meinst

grizzled blaze

Wrote down from the recording too the teachers words:

  • Style and manners corrected, very suggestive. Would not be used irl.
  • Ex intern noticing something is not important nor relevant. Nobody cares. You must state that you are unhappy about something.
  • First paragraph – Did you write this or them?
  • Next paragraph – is this a C1 learner trying to show off? This isn't a complaint letter.
  • Sounds very unnatural. How is this a complaint email?
  • Dont state you're available. Ask for something in return. This a complaint email. You complain and ask for refunds.

so white is you, green is them, and green in brackets is the teacher?

tepid coral
#

nope brackets is me explaining

trail locust

#

Yep that wasnt my point tho, as I said I understand that it didnt fit their criteria 😄

trail locust
#

?

grizzled blaze
trail locust
#

You were giving them advice about how to not fit the criteria?

tepid coral
#

And tbh i didnt see the word count, i thought his own words where that

trail locust
#

Or do you mean like, you thought this was for real life and not an exercise?

ocean knoll
#

yea so the vocab does surpass B by a lot

#

which would seem unnatural coming from someone whos complaining abount not beinf able to speak german (since they are learning it)

trail locust
# grizzled blaze

I'm not familiar with German email style: How "direct" is German directness? Can you point fingers?

In an American email, you wouldn't make direct accusations, but we are also more indirect than the Germans.

grizzled blaze
#

The vocab isn't even the issue. The style is

grizzled blaze
ocean knoll
trail locust
#

Yeah, I just don't have enough experience to know exactly where the German line falls between, "stating your issues straightforwardly" vs "making accusations that cross the line"

grizzled blaze
ocean knoll
#

yea in an exam setting it would make sense, that they make arbitary rules about some bs

grizzled blaze
#

But that being said, I guess I am more inclined to believe a teacher who works as an examiner more 🤷‍♀️ if he says to me "If you wrote like that, like what was suggested to you, you wouldn't pass", then i believe it

#

liegen, liegt, lag, hat gelegen. Okay German language, you are utterly evil and need to feel bad about this. Especially in the face of legen, legt, legte, hat gelegt.

trail locust
#

sing, sang, sung

#

English has vowel changes representing different tenses as well

spark sierra
#

I think English has an evil vowel change too, I'll have to think of it for a bit.... But Germans evil vowel change is liegen into gelegen. Because it makes me think of legen instead....

trail locust
#

gelegt

#

ge- and -n is irregular, just in a way that kind of looks regular

spark sierra
#

Ah right, the evil English is see saw seen, which collides with saw, sawed, sawn.

#

other one i hate like that is gelingen gelang gelungen vs gelang gelangte gelangt

Hey everyone , I wanted to ask about the new APS rule. I passed my 12th grade in 2025, but I did not get 70%. I received my APS certificate in mid-February, and it was issued before 14 March.
So I would like to know, does the new rule apply to me as well? Am I still eligible for Winter Semester 2026?
I also heard that even if someone has a valid APS certificate and passes the Aufnahmeprüfung, the university might still not give admission to Studienkolleg. Is that true?

trail locust
#

Tl;dr "backen" historically was an irregular verb. But it has been undergoing the process of becoming regular.

Regular verbs all have that same way of forming past tense, spielte, brauchte, etc.

But because "backen" is still in the process of becoming regular, you sometimes will see it as irregular Präteritum (buk) and sometimes will see it as regular (backte)

bold pelican
#

I like it it sounds funny

#

the problem is the past participle imo

#

if its backen as in to bake its gebacken (still irregular)
if its backen as in to stick its either gebacken or gebackt

tawny flame
#

senden sendte gesendet vs senden sandte gesandt...just similar enough but not quite to screw with me

#

backen im okay with because i can compute it if its just non standardization

#

i get more annoyed with words that have similar meanings overlapping

elfin tree
#

The german words:
"umfahren" and "umfahren".
Same word, different meaning

elfin tree

umfahren is seperable
umfahren isnt

Ich suche einen Partner zum Deutschlernen. Hat jemand Interesse?

tawny flame
#

indonesian or bahasa indonesia auf Indonesisch is a conlang thats based on melayu but not entirely really

stone locust
#

ja

tawny flame
#

i would say successful one too

#

its my native language instead of a local one

#

i speak some dialect of it but i do definitely understand indonesian

stone locust
#

when was that

tawny flame
#

colonial times i believe?

stone locust
#

damn

tawny flame
#

im not a big linguistics guy so i havent dug super deep into it but

#

yeah we took melayu then decided

#

yep lets simplify this

stone locust
#

icl when i think of colangs i imagine esparanto or smth 😭

tawny flame
#

yeah no thats fair

stone locust
#

not languages spoken by milions of ppl

tawny flame
#

i didnt know indonesian was a conlang either myself lmfao

#

for a while

stone locust
#

im also working on my own colang 😏

tawny flame
#

its just that good

ocean knoll
#

did some people sit down and create it

tawny flame
stone locust
tawny flame
#

they sat down and decided

stone locust
#

so it's a natural language

tawny flame
#

right lets make this melayu stuff simpler for everyone

stone locust
ocean knoll
#

i dont think that still makes it a conlang

tawny flame
#

and then also added in a bunch of bullshit from other local languages and dutch

tawny flame
ocean knoll
#

but no one speaks that

tawny flame
#

the definition of a conlang is just that its constructed not that it is unspoken, no?

ocean knoll
#

you said your native lang is a conlang

tawny flame
#

yeah

#

its jsut

#

worked

#

we all speak it now

stone locust
#

i mean if people made grammar easier and added new words that's a colang

ocean knoll
#

did the people just accept it

tawny flame
#

like it is so good i did not realize it was a conlang

tawny flame
ocean knoll
#

whats the language called again

#

i wanna read about it

tawny flame
#

they actively made sure the dominant like group of people (javanese) wasnt just gonna take over and make java the lingua franca

#

which is why indonesian was made

#

since malay was the former lingua franca for trade

tawny flame
#

i could be wrong but as far as im aware it would fall under the term conlang

ocean knoll
#

standardizing ≠ constructing

#

btw

tawny flame
#

i know but it did intentionally borrow a lot from non malay

ocean knoll
#

then its still a natural evolution

#

ie one that was acquired through a bit of prodding

#

it doesnt qualify as constructed

#

if for exMple germany decided to add a bunch of new foreign words into german and teach them in school, and simplify the grammar here and there that still wouldnt count as constructing,

tawny flame
#

im prolly wrong on this then ofc as i am not a linguistics guy

#

shrimply how the almighty indonesian education system presented it to me 3c

ocean knoll
#

that makes sense

tawny flame
#

i will say i think formal indonesian is incredibly consistent

ocean knoll
#

yea, tweaking grammar here and there is something most language governing bodies too

tawny flame
#

its a lot more consistent than german and english which i both know

ocean knoll
#

how many cases does it have?

tawny flame
#

what the fuck is a case :)

#

we dont even do english tax --> taxes we just say the word fuckin twice man

#

so it'd be like tax-tax if you were to make it plural like indonesian does

#

no grammatical gender too

ocean knoll
#

so how do you determine the role of a noun in a sentence?

#

word order? prepositions?

tawny flame
#

i would say word order and just simply adding more shit to specify

ocean knoll
#

so its mostly positional, cool

#

for example

#

this is my house
i am at my house

tawny flame
#

hm i will say i do mix dialect often naturally so cant say im 100% right but i would probably do something like

#

ini adalah rumahku OR ini adalah rumah saya (both work for me but i think "ku" is my dialect) for this is my house

#

i am at my house -->
saya di rumah saya

#

i will note saya is the same as "aku" just formal

#

aka "i"

#

you could also say saya ada di rumah saya

#

which would be i (there) at my house to do a reeally direct TL

bold pelican
#

lowkey hochdeutsch is a conlang

ocean knoll
tawny flame
#

everything uses adalah also

bold pelican
#

if you want real natural german you go to random swiss villages 💯

tawny flame
#

saya dalah (i am)
kita adlaah (we are)
mereka adalah (they are)
kamu adlaah (you are)

ocean knoll
#

right

tawny flame
#

i would say saya ada di rumah saya or simply saya di rumah saya

#

"i there at my home" or literally "i at my home"

#

and those work

ocean knoll
#

yea, that sounds about right

#

some languages omit the copula

#

copula - the joining verb in this case 'to be'

#

russian does this too, my native as well

tawny flame
#

who the fuck needs grammarrrrr

ocean knoll
#

but yea prepositions exist in yours

bold pelican
tawny flame
#

not stinky ones like german

ocean knoll
#

so that makes sense

bold pelican
#

what kind of statement? I am now allowed to say.

ocean knoll
#

@tawny flame what if you are joining an adjective to a noun

bold pelican
ocean knoll
#

for example "she is cute"

tawny flame
#

she cute

#

its just that lol

ocean knoll
#

nice!

tawny flame
#

big house --> rumah (house) besar (big)

bold pelican
#

though what struck me as the most interesting was that it used the latin alphabet

tawny flame
#

or if you want to emphasize rumah YANG besar (like, THE big house)

ocean knoll
#

do you have genderspecific third person pronouns

tawny flame
ocean knoll
#

she and he

tawny flame
ocean knoll
#

do you distinguish

tawny flame
#

everyone is 'dia'

ocean knoll
#

epic!

bold pelican
#

I know that other asian languages use it too but idk this one just seemed more striking

tawny flame
#

what even is a 'they' singular bro everyones the same out here

tawny flame
#

if you read casual indonesian you will see a lot of 'nya' being said

#

and no we are weebs but not liek that

tawny flame
#

but its a very very common sound so

#

pretty funny

bold pelican
#

nya nya nya nya

ocean knoll
#

you said plural is done by just saying word twice right

bold pelican
tawny flame
#

sepertinya dia akan membuka tokonya sendiri
seems like he/she/they will open their own store

tawny flame
#

that one i think is a pretty strict rule? i cant recall an exception to it

ocean knoll
#

1 cat
2 cats
many cats
translate this

tawny flame
#

satu kucing
dua kucing

#

its just 1 cat 2 cat

#

banyak kucing-kucing

ocean knoll
#

interesting

tawny flame
#

although colloquially you can do away witrht hat

#

or if youre texting

#

banyak kucing2

#

but yeah very simple plural

ocean knoll
#

so "kuching" doesnt just mean 1 cat

#

like in english

#

it can be any number

#

so thats not a proper "singular" as we know it in english

tawny flame
#

i could be wrong on this one lmfao

#

but i think so yes

#

5 kucing kucing telah mati di tempat ini doesnt sound as good to me as
5 kucing telah mati di tempat ini

#

aka 5 cats have died in this place

ocean knoll
#

i dont know how the linguists catogerize this kinda gram. number

#

but mine does it this way too

#

though we also do have a proper singular inflection, thats optional

tawny flame
#

if you want to really emphasize on like

#

ONE cat you could say

#

seekor kucing

#

onetail cat i guess if i were to attempt to translate it

#

could say 5 ekor kucing but that is very formal

#

like i could easily picture a news broadcaste simply doing away with it

ocean knoll
#

thats like japanese

#

or something

tawny flame
#

that is like the weirdest part of indonesian

#

that i dont use or hear that often

#

the most fucked up part is
sebuah hadiah
a present

#

which horrible btw because buah = fruit

ocean knoll
#

hadiah has to be an arab loan word

#

we have the same word for present

tawny flame
#

theres too many different loan words i stopped trying to know where they come from after i discovered a lot of my words were just dutch

ocean knoll
#

you can surely read arabic

tawny flame
#

listen brother i cant even read my own local language

ocean knoll
tawny flame
#

oh my god kado is fuckign dutch??

#

wild

#

i think a lot of the like dutch loanwords feel more

#

slang-y than the other ones

#

based on my observations

#

which is funny because theyre loanwords

ocean knoll
#

idk if this is teue but japanese for potato is jagaimo

#

which comes from jakarta potato being abbreviated

tawny flame
#

thats wild

ocean knoll
#

the dutch introduced it to japan

tawny flame
#

we actually say 'kentang' for potatoes

#

i actually have no idea where that one comes from

#

ah i see the rare javanese word

#

das sieht man nicht oft

ocean knoll
#

i forgot my native dialect which i spoke growing up lol,

#

i just speak standard dhivehi now

tawny flame
# ocean knoll can you speak it perfectly though

javanese hell no
i say im a native indonesian speaker because although colloquial indonesian is completely fucked up compared to formal indonesian i proably speak a typical javanese way of it

#

i do borrow an okay amount of words from javanese but its not a LOT

#

i suspect in urban areas a sharp decline in the local languages of indonesia will happen soon and become more like "dialects"

#

the way they teach it in school isnt great so i just have enough javanese to get what my familys talking about except numbers

#

i refuse to learn javanese numbers im ride or die for the indonesian numbers

So I just watched a YouTube video, and the argument is to read earlier than you feel comfortable. I think most people consider Harry Potter to be a B2 level task for example, but it seems like this guy's argument would be to read it earlier, B1 or even A2.

#

But when you do so, you take it slowly and carefully. Like a few sentences or paragraphs a day (no way for an A2 to progress much quicker than that....)

#

Not even for complete understanding. This is with the recommendation of only looking up words that feel important / have repeated, rather than looking up every word.

#

And accepting that it's impossible for A2 level to fully understand everything. But maybe it's still a good exercise to do so.

#

Anyway, I'm feeling better about my Pokemon playthrough now lol

There are no private lessons or 1-on-1 tutoring offered here as everyone is a volunteer offering their help for free.
The purpose of this server is to help you put the skills you learn elsewhere into practice, for example by allowing you to chat in German, or by allowing you to receive help and feedback on your questions and work. As such, it's just one of many tools that can help you learn the language.

Are there still some kind of lessons here?
Yes! Our lovely volunteer hosts organise lessons and fun sessions from time to time. These are different from classroom lessons and are not meant to replace them. To find out more, check out #lesson-info!

How else can I use this server to learn German?

**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.

Nicht für "übersetzen"

#

@rigid barn It would be better in this case if you just speak English because I can't understand your German.

#

And you should read the FAQ properly.

wraith pebble
#

i was a little confused too on his german

rigid barn
#

That I've never said that chatgpt can be used as text generator, but as a great learning tool

#

More for gramatic

#

To learn more Abt German tho

opal sequoia
#

ChatGPT is BAD for learning German.

#

That's the point.

rigid barn
#

But why?

opal sequoia
#

Read the FAQ above.

rigid barn
#

No as text generator

opal sequoia
#

And drop the topic.

#

Do not recommend to anyone to use ChatGPT for learning languages and do not say it's a good tool for learning languages.

#

Preferably, don't even mention it at all.

#

And consider the fact that you are a complete beginner in German. You do not even have the knowledge to determine if it's good or not yet.

rigid barn
#

Or well

#

@trail locust man i think i reached my limit with the language, i don't want to improve. geniuenly. every time i try to open a book i just zone out, every time i try a podcast i zone out, every time i try to play a video game in german i just don't want to play it anymore and the thing is this depresses me which makes it even harder for me to study it. i know it sounds like burnout but i legit have taken big breaks so i dunno what to do now since i laid so many plans on it..

forest apex
#

Are you living in Germany idk if I’ve asked u this or forgot

trail locust
forest apex
#

If you’re living in Germany then you kinda have to learn to make progress in life in general, and if not then well if you don’t want to learn anymore that’s perfectly valid

trail locust
#

I think he plans to study in Germany at Uni

forest apex
#

But there’s other good places to study that are English speaking so

#

If the German language is such a barrier then there’s other options

#

I tried Deutsche Welle A1 and A2 tests last night. I'm solidly A1+ (80% correct, with some pretty stupid errors lol).

#

A2 seems far away though.

#

Sigh.

#

I need to double down on the nuance behind my vocabulary.

#

Like it's frustrating because I have some level of understanding of the A2 test / words / what I need to do. But not enough to get the questions correct.

#

Like A1 had this one question where they showed a map with three locations labeled A, B and C. the audio said go right then left and the building is on your right.

#

I got it wrong because I read the map incorrectly, even if I understood the German 100% lol

#

I think it's a good thing to take the test to check your progress from A1 to A2. But not too often because it doesn't seem like the questions change.

#

So the test really only works once.

#

It looks rather rigorous. Reddit claims that 60% is a passing score.

#

So if you are scoring poorly, you might still pass

Does
Sie kannst können mich [Name] nennen
Make sense in German and sound natural as a formal translation of
“You can/may call me [name]”?

In my case
Sie kannst mich Keirán oder Alyasha nennen

all in all i think i wou;d've been at a 75% had i had more time or had i not wrote the same thing TWICE

#

also if commas and capital and such are in " strukture " then that's probably where i had an issue
