thats a 10/10 in my book
I didn't make the tone uneven enough, then. Let me try again 😛
Ofc they can post it
ok you can post it then
"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
nice lol
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.
ja, ich check was du meinst
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?
nope brackets is me explaining
Seems like way more than 120 words, no?
Yep that wasnt my point tho, as I said I understand that it didnt fit their criteria 😄
?
Yes, my writing in in white
You were giving them advice about how to not fit the criteria?
And tbh i didnt see the word count, i thought his own words where that
Or do you mean like, you thought this was for real life and not an exercise?
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)
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.
The vocab isn't even the issue. The style is
With complaint emails, you need to state what was bad. What you are complaining about. And you NEED to say you are unhappy. Not that there could be some improvements
the idea that there's only 1 way to write a complaint email sure is interesting
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"
Lmao there is a structure to every thing??? And criteria an examiner checks?
yea in an exam setting it would make sense, that they make arbitary rules about some bs
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.
Yes but... gelegen is completely evil lol
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....
If it were a fully regular verb, it would be ge- and then -t
gespielt
gelegt
ge- and -n is irregular, just in a way that kind of looks regular
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
Wait until you find out about "backen" 🙃
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?
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)
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
oh i know that one too...senden is also evil
technically wachsen is also one but im okay with that one
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
The german words:
"umfahren" and "umfahren".
Same word, different meaning
not same word
Same word, different meaning
umfahren is seperable
umfahren isnt
Well i am assuming you know the difference
obv
Native?
no
Wahts the difference
to drive around something,
to drive into something and make it fall over
Oh okay
Uh guys
hi fresh
Wth is going on in the news
@elfin tree what about you
idk havnt checked
Stuff is scary I js saw the news
oh
Iran's been attacked
I am native
And I think they attack Dubai in retaliation
?
Oh no
why dubai
US and Israel
No idea i saw it on the internet
Might be a false alarm
Okay anyways
It's scary

The world is big
Yeah right, apparently iran attacked gulf arab states
Wahts going on in Asia man
The world really does not need a massive scale war
ye... Cam from usa to germany 3 days ago... the world is truly big
Ich suche einen Partner zum Deutschlernen. Hat jemand Interesse?
indonesian or bahasa indonesia auf Indonesisch is a conlang thats based on melayu but not entirely really
ja
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
so people like actually made up ist grammar rules etc?
when was that
colonial times i believe?
damn
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
icl when i think of colangs i imagine esparanto or smth 😭
yeah no thats fair
not languages spoken by milions of ppl
im also working on my own colang 😏
its just that good
what do you mean its a conlang
did some people sit down and create it
literally yes iirc
well i mean no one oversaw it for like +100 years for sure if we speak of colonial times
they sat down and decided
so it's a natural language
right lets make this melayu stuff simpler for everyone
that's how colangs work digga
i dont think that still makes it a conlang
and then also added in a bunch of bullshit from other local languages and dutch
esperanto is a conlang
but no one speaks that
the definition of a conlang is just that its constructed not that it is unspoken, no?
you said your native lang is a conlang
i mean if people made grammar easier and added new words that's a colang
did the people just accept it
like it is so good i did not realize it was a conlang
i cant get super into history cuz rules but it was a part of the nationalist movement which got the ball goign for independence
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
indonesian, "bahasa indonesia" in itself
i could be wrong but as far as im aware it would fall under the term conlang
i know but it did intentionally borrow a lot from non malay
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,
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 
that makes sense
i will say i think formal indonesian is incredibly consistent
yea, tweaking grammar here and there is something most language governing bodies too
its a lot more consistent than german and english which i both know
how many cases does it have?
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
i would say word order and just simply adding more shit to specify
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
lowkey hochdeutsch is a conlang
ini is this right?
is adalah the verb?
if you want real natural german you go to random swiss villages 💯
saya dalah (i am)
kita adlaah (we are)
mereka adalah (they are)
kamu adlaah (you are)
in your second sentence there's no verb
right
saya adalah di rumah saya doesnt sound quite right
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
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
who the fuck needs grammarrrrr
but yea prepositions exist in yours
idk if it works in the official version but in colloquial polish you can skip the copula in this context
yeah ALTHOUGH in formal indonesian theyre really really cosnsitent so i love them
not stinky ones like german
polish is just a dialect of russian
so that makes sense
@tawny flame what if you are joining an adjective to a noun
I watched a video about it it looked fun
for example "she is cute"
nice!
big house --> rumah (house) besar (big)
though what struck me as the most interesting was that it used the latin alphabet
or if you want to emphasize rumah YANG besar (like, THE big house)
do you have genderspecific third person pronouns
wdym exactly
she and he
yes that did make learning english a lot easier
do you distinguish
epic!
I know that other asian languages use it too but idk this one just seemed more striking
what even is a 'they' singular bro everyones the same out here
L entscheidung
but smart ig
if you read casual indonesian you will see a lot of 'nya' being said
and no we are weebs but not liek that
kawaii
nya nya nya nya
you said plural is done by just saying word twice right
its probably due to colonialism so not an entscheidung
sepertinya dia akan membuka tokonya sendiri
seems like he/she/they will open their own store
yes
that one i think is a pretty strict rule? i cant recall an exception to it
1 cat
2 cats
many cats
translate this
interesting
although colloquially you can do away witrht hat
or if youre texting
banyak kucing2
but yeah very simple plural
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
i would say yes but i am also heavily a colloquial user of indonesian
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
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
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
the fuck
thats like japanese
or something
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
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
listen brother i cant even read my own local language
fire aussage
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
idk if this is teue but japanese for potato is jagaimo
which comes from jakarta potato being abbreviated
thats wild
the dutch introduced it to japan
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
can you speak it perfectly though
i forgot my native dialect which i spoke growing up lol,
i just speak standard dhivehi now
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
is javanese like nothing at all like indonesian?
@fierce adder wer du?
hi
Chat me dm
why
hi
Hii
Is Javanese hard to learn
Hi
hello oscar from duolingo
i dont think its like alien to indonesian but its less consistently structured than indonesian and the writing system is ass
compared to indonesian ye imo
helow
hallo zusammen! does anyone here got accepted for the HSK this year by DAAD?
Probably due to lack of resources to learn it
Is what I'm guessing
I don't actually know tho.
I don't really know a lot about it tbh I'll have to do some research um meine bildungslücke zu füllen
nah my family speaks javanese regularly i could ask them and they do try to teach it in school i just didnt like the way it was taught when i had it
i think its kinda cool due because due to being new the formal indonesian is still quite regular and strict aside from the infestation that is english
That's fair enough
(and honestly i doubt its going extinct anytime soon)
so im not worried about learning it
wayyy too many javanese speakers already
wouldn't hurt tho
I'm learning Javanese at school and I really don't like the language, it's too verbose too many letters for doing simple stuff
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
<@&305455824174710787>
yeah i dont think they teach javanese well cause of that. it's much more important to learn how to speak javanese than to read it. there's been no fucking context where i've seen someone write javanese using that alphabet system
@lavish ravine @shut lance @tawny surge @analog wagon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uPty-Paq2E4
But, it's true that Java is like very verbose, since it is an OOP language, just look how a hello world program is made
class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}
oh pfft hahahha
i also agree on that i prefer python :)
High level coding
Can you please teach me this I don't understand the Class
I am learning C++
im not planning to do any serious coding anytime soon so i dont need to learn lower level languages (real coding) currently. i probably will be able to use python once or twice in the future to mess with spreadsheets or something
rust is the only real programming language
(i'm shit at it)
brainfuck is where it's at
in case my teacher asks, is it a good reason for learning German that I want to gain entry to Berghain?
Salam 3likom, kayn شي مغاربة hna?
It fulfills the prophecy
Getting some piercings are probably easier
I think of Java as the German of programming languages. So much boilerplate, so verbose for no reason (especially its naming conventions, look up Java factories 😵💫), but so ✨logical✨ it could make a grown man cry. I came across this meme a while ago and I think it's very fitting
Hahaha true
Does this mean I can say I'm learning Russian without learning Russian? (I'm learning rust
)
Hey guys
Hi y'all
hiii thyra
How's it goinggg
Your PFP looks like a bald person

<@&305455824174710787>
Hi
beefing? preparing beef?

Erm so they kinda choked me but I'm not complaining
do you want me to do it? I won't say your name?
Nope I'm grateful actually haha
No need for that
I didn't understand
what does choking means?
To grab and squeeze someone's throat
and why would someone be grateful for that?
At least i got unmuted
yeah, you should be grateful for that but not choking though
Nobody got choked.
not even you?
Nope, not even me.
whyyy? how did you escape?
Why would I need to escape?

Hallo everyone! I’m smith! I’m looking to learn German language! I’m not available for VC rn, feel free to DM me if you’re truly interested to help me learn the German language! I’m looking to learn because my girl speaks a lot of German and I wanna speak German with her! Thank you! Have a good day/night everyone!
Ich will Deutsch und Chinesisch sprechen also ich bin hier. Ich kann nicht gut Deutsch sprechen and so I am here
That is about the extent of my German without creating a vichyssoise of verbiage, as I am aware of words of the nature of

Ja, ich denke schon, zumindest was ich so von diesem Discord Server gesehen bzw. mitbekommen habe, würde ich schon sagen das du hier was lernen kannst.

Ja, Discord kann anfangs etwas verwirrend sein 😅, aber wenn man sich erst einmal daran gewöhnt hat, ist es eigentlich ein guter Ort, um Deutsch zu üben.

@rigid barn It's against the rules to recommend ChatGPT for learning languages. Don't do it again.
@wraith pebble
i was wondering why my message was deleted
Wirklich???
faq ai
This FAQ explains rules and advice for using text AI tools such as ChatGPT.
- Do not answer any questions by using AI-generated text.
- Do not ask for AI-generated text to be corrected.
-
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.
-
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.
- Ask ChatGPT to come up with some story ideas that you can write about.
thanks for letting me know
Ich hab nie chatgpt gesagt, für benutzt es als "Text Generator"
No problem.
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.
i was a little confused too on his german
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
Yes, that is exactly what you're not allowed to say.
ChatGPT is BAD for learning German.
That's the point.
But why?
Read the FAQ above.
No as text generator
And drop the topic.
If you want to discuss it more, use #report-issue .
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 If you want to discuss it more, please use #report-issue .
The topic is finished here.
trust me bro i almost got banned for it

guys is a german certificate needed for student visa and college applications
at least A2 or B1
I dont think my friends needed that
for work yes but studying i believe you may manage with just an english cert
how do you call a simp in german , anyone knows?
That depends on the uni.
Most unis require C1 certificate.
https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simp
"Einfaltspinsel" is a good one
Simp (von englisch simpleton ‚Einfaltspinsel‘) ist eine dem Internet-Slang entsprungene abwertende Bezeichnung für jemanden, der einer anderen Person übermäßiges Mitgefühl und Aufmerksamkeit entgegenbringt, ohne dass dies wirklich erwidert wird. Das Verhalten, auch Simping genannt, ist dabei häufig romantisch oder sexuell motiviert. De...
eher nicht
das Wort hat keine direkte Übersetzung, sag einfach lieber das Englische

good morning
im not from. But i am Hier.
you are trying to speak 2 of the world's hardest languages simultaneously ?
german wouldnt make it to the list
ja, ich muss zustimmen aber deutsch is nicht einfach
Ja
Guys i’m looking for a people who will help me to practice with job interviews
😭 i have it for friday and i need help
Can u asking me questions in voice chats and then make rollplays and give me notes
@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..
Why are u learning German
Are you living in Germany idk if I’ve asked u this or forgot
I mean, if your plans depend on it, then you either have to change your plans, or fight through it.
Again, I think the best option is to simply live as though German were already your native language, meaning you use German for everything you can, the sheer hours of exposure will help.
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
I think he plans to study in Germany at Uni
I see, then there’s no getting around the German language
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
It would be können.
yes, but it should be Sie können, or du kannst
But yes, it does make sense.
Dankeschön
You guys know an old Tv show callled Chaotic?
scanning monsters and fighting with them
This one?
that one
I am currently learning german with it
I am learning the most useless verbs ever like angriefen , verwandeln , scannen , verstecken , etc
but I absolutely love it
@calm cairn mein Lieblingsessen, fehlt nur noch Majo
i am trying to fight through it but my brain is rejecting it. in the meanwhile i got 70% in the last test, 10 out of 16 in writing so ay? my teacher gave me this. wortschatz is my bane
70% is good, though. Remember, 60%+ is a pass on the formal tests, and the tests are pass/fail.
😭😭 peak
i could've done better but i thought we weren't allowed to use pencils so after i wrote with my pencil i wrote with my pen and then she told me you could've just used the OG pencil. meaning i rpetty much wasted 70% of my time on writing instead of just solving the other things (i left about 7 things blank)
i thought i was going to get 40% tbh
last test was 51%
so i will celeberate my win
tho our teacher said she was lenient on us in her grading this time
she said we really need to work on our wortschatz
active wortschatz is harder than i thought
And what was up with your sentence structure?
No idea, probably just translating literally
Do you have the papers? It'd be interesting to see
like it would make sense if it was in English but not as much in german
No i would've uploaded it, goethe does not allow the papers to be distributed
oh, this is an official Goethe course?
dang
Yeah
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
Hallo
yo
nothing much u

Li what is your German level?
Li is level C.
I think 2, but not sure.
You might have to ping Li to ask them.
.. @errant nacelle
C2
Oha
Hast du deutsch studiert?
Und wieso hast du dann nicht die native rolle?
Because C2 isn’t native. Native is when you grew up with the language.
Achso
Nein
Go make dinner please.
I want to kidnap you.
Dinner is done
So I can kidnap you?

Muss deine Bio aber nicht eher heißen: "Die traurige Wahrheit ist, dass das meiste Böse von Menschen getan* wird, die sich zwischen Gut* und Böse* nicht entschieden haben."

@errant nacelle do you want some? They are only a bit sour.
yes
Sehr sehr sehr gewalttätig
You can have some then. 
Soll damit nicht "Gute Taten" gemeint werden?
Gute Taten -> verkürzt zu Gute
Nope
so würde ich es interpretieren
anscheinend ist das Original auf Englisch
habe ich vielleicht eine schlechte Übersetzung kopiert 🤔
The sad truth is that most evil is done by people who never make up their minds to be good or evil.
Nimm meine :)
Oder behalt das englische
Und vorallem steht der zweite teil der übersetzung in der vergangenheit
Im originellen nd
hmmm
Jetzt ist es besser 
jetzt kann ich mich endlich meinem Abendessen zuwenden
You get a hug.
