Y'know, I used to confuse dort a lot with dorf.

That's fair not only are they pronounced quite similar but especially when written f and t can look the same depending on who wrote

@harsh tulip I don't want to go deeper into Japanese language elsewhere, because that should be about German, but if you want to, I could go into details here (...or elsewhere) >_>

wieso ist "hau" mit einem Fragezeichen versehen? x.x

With applesauce oder “Apfelmus”

basically mashed apple with some sugar ...aliss

#

I never eat it

#

Yes but it’s good with Kartoffelpuffer, you have your opinion on how to eat it, that’s fine. It’s just how my German friend and his mom taught me and that’s how I suggest it be eaten too 🤷🏻‍♀️

versed crown
#

That is an option

calm ore
#

no idea... never touching sugar no matter what, es ist schlecht ...!

versed crown
#

Warum?

#

You do realize that fruits have sugar in them, right?

#

Same with bröt

#

And anything with carbs for that matter

#

It could be unsweetened Apfelmus oder natural sweetened

#

zucker is die grooste problem von heute zur tag!

#

also sugar == not in my book!

versed crown
#

Yes but there are also people who have glucose problems and need the sugar, not entirely the problem nor the point in this

#

I was simply making a suggestion that unsweetened Apfelmus would be the better option if you don’t like sugar

#

Or choose not to eat things with added sugar

#

Thats all shrug

Yeah

#

The minimum here its like 1000

#

And the groceries are expensive as hell (even things from spain like olive oil)

#

I also heard supermarkets are cheaper in germany than here but i dont really know if thats real

#

In Spain 2000 is not rich, but like, enough to live good in most cases

#

2000€ a month isn't much in Germany tbh, I would say average is like 2500€

Most people make more than that though

As a native English speaker.. is anyone also forgetting English words while learning German???

Like English word I know, I’ve accidentally replaced with German and then I can’t remember how to say said word in English ?

Not only that but I’ve picked up my friends accent that he has when he speaks English (he’s a native German speaker) and I can’t get rid of it

Duolingo

Duolingo is a decent resource to start with if you're a complete beginner, but it's neither efficient nor comprehensive!

What Duolingo will teach you about grammar is very limited, and none of the systems they use will help you practise much of it.
You can learn some vocabulary with it, but their method (based on the concept of spaced repetition) doesn't work for everybody, and the way Duolingo teaches is not very effective compared to the amount of time it requires from you.

So, if you find it useful, by all means keep using it, but remember not to fall for its gamification of language learning, and move past it when it stops being beneficial. Ignore the streaks.

In any case, keep in mind that Duolingo is not enough to learn a language, ever.

If you're looking for guidance or alternatives, check out >faq beginner in our #botchannel .

Grammatik aktiv really figured something out here. Exercises 32 through 40 really teach prepositions excellently

#

Like 10% of the book, covering A1 to B1, is only on prepositions lol.

#

auf dem Markt vs im Supermarkt is going to wreck me for a while though

#

USA based thinking means I see markets as the same thing as supermarkets, lol. Weird to see a different preposition here.

spark sierra
#

In USA, Supermarkets are the default. Its rarer to find a old school "market". Over here, we're more likely to find malls or other such spaces.

#

Once I realized that "der Markt" vs "der Supermarkt" were such different places, I think the preposition-switch makes a lot more sense to me.

fickle pagoda
#

Ah, so that is what you are talking about...

fickle pagoda
spark sierra
#

"in den / im Supermarkt" == very logical and I'm cool with.

#

"auf den / auf dem Markt" == wtf, my brain is exploding.

#

Ex: "Ich gehe auf den Markt einkaufen" is just... very unnatural. I'll remember it. Probably.....

#

I'm also 100% cool with "auf der Straße"

#

In USA: I think "in the Supermarket" and "on the street" are just very natural phrases.

fickle pagoda
#

but if I ask you where are you: "Ich bin gerade auf dem Markt"

spark sierra
#

zu/zur/zum I'm not quite as good with. But I think it makes a degree of sense.

fickle pagoda

but dativ for some reason, lol

in den Berge ?

(plural, dativ = +n)

spark sierra
#

Ich gehe in den Berge :-). Ich bin in dem Bergen.

#

Ich gehe in den Berg = I actually go inside a mountain

#

What a nightmare of a language, lol.

fickle pagoda
spark sierra
#

Just a little bit

#

I'm glad this book spends so much time and exercises on the prepositions. I really needed this.

spark sierra
#

I just needed 7 days in a row of "auf den Markt" / "auf dem Markt" / "in den Supermarkt" / "zu Rewe" "von Rewe" / "aus Berlin".

#

Yeah, Grammatik aktiv. 7 exercises in a row of preposition practice.

fickle pagoda
#

(I've got a pet peeve to tell on that preposition alone >.<)

spark sierra
#

and of course, the Hause exceptions

#

zu Hause, nach Hause, von zu Hause

#

wtf

#

"von zu Hause" ??

fickle pagoda
spark sierra
#

Yeah, I guess so.

fickle pagoda
#

btw, I would use "von zuhause" 😛

#

"zu Hause" and "zuhause" are equivalent in German

spark sierra
#

good to know

fickle pagoda
#

I just prefer the latter

#

nach Hause has no equivalency, though

#

(...unless we start making one and that becoming the majority usage 😄 )

#

(but "nachhause" just looks mh)

Regarding wanting to live in Germany or Austria

#

My immediate reason for wanting that is so that I’m not worked to death. I hate America’s work culture and the refusal of its citizens and politicians to change it.

#

But my long term is being able to live in a different culture, with different norms and attitudes. I want to be able to adapt and experience that.

#

The second one is probably what people are looking for, but is wanting the first so wrong?

Hallo zusammen

distant hull
#

english natives here how difficult is German for you pronunciation wise?

distant hull
#

🙏

spark sierra
#

Until we worked for a while and practiced them.

#

I also mess up the two ways to pronounce ä but that's more of a knowledge/vocabulary issue. You just need to listen to how natives talk.

#

I also have significant issues with rhythm when I was getting started in German. Accents were almost always on the wrong thing until I really studied every word.

#

German should be easy for most English speakers, but don't slack. There is always room for improvement.

left jolt
#

Its definetly far from "easy"

#

Its just more manageable than like hungarian though

spark sierra
#

But there's a lot of little things to mess up for English to German. Vowels aren't quite in the same tongue position....

left jolt
#

You are from the philipines?

spark sierra
#

My parents are. I'm USA / English native.

#

I would imagine if u gave someone a month to learn ng and -ch they would produce similar results

Strangely enough, ch never gave me issues lol

I assume it's the same with Z, S, SS and ß. Reading them incorrectly rather than having trouble pronouncing them.

spark sierra
#

österreichische was damn near impossible for like a week. (The ch here did give me issues, but so did so many other letters....)

opal sequoia
spark sierra
#

I mean, vocab in that you just memorize when to use the softer ch vs hard ch

opal sequoia
#

Typically you don't memorise it.

#

The tongue position on a good ö is not intuitive for me. Not initially anyway.
