Mikrofon und Lautsprecher verbunden?

[opal loom]

Ja, natürlich

Ich bin bei Chrome

Nicht bei App, vielleicht ist darauf

vielleicht liegt es daran*

[pine ginkgo]

die browser version hat Bugs mit voice

lad den client runter

[hot cloak]

die browser version ist furchtbar

[opal loom]

hmmm ok!

haha naja

Danke ^^

[glossy quail]

Hey diddle diddle

The cat and the fiddle

[lost dagger]

I bought my first Toblerone

very excited

[opal sequoia]

First????????

[lost dagger]

yeah!

Anyone know websites that ship German books to the US?

Amazon.de won't accept my credit card 😦

[hot cloak]

https://www.abebooks.com i love this site but idk if they ship specifically german books to US

[lost dagger]

Thanks

[lost dagger]

i went to the store to get chili ingredients and forgot basically all of them

[opal sequoia]

No list?

[thick charm]

Chili, meat and chili fix

[lost dagger]

i was too hungry to make a list

[opal sequoia]

😏

Well now you pay the consequences.

[lost dagger]

ya

[thick charm]

did you at least buy a can of instant chili so you can eat that and loathe yourself?

[lost dagger]

i'm gonna have plain raw ground beef for dinner

[opal sequoia]

Ah, cool.

[lost dagger]

I don't think i've ever eaten a can of instant chili but I still loathe myself

but yeah I forgot I didn't have onions

[thick charm]

that's the spirit

[lost dagger]

and I forgot tomatoes

[thick charm]

but without onions, you can't even prepare a delicious Mettbrötchen mit Zwiebeln

How will you survive

[lost dagger]

😦

i'll have a mediocre Mettbrötchen ohne Zwiebeln

[thick charm]

That's the saddest thing I've ever heard

And I listened to the sad violin song once

[lost dagger]

I think I might have shallots

[thick charm]

saved

[hot cloak]

the dangers of grocery shopping hungry

[lost dagger]

yeah

i bought frozen pupusas though

[thick charm]

That reminds me

I went shopping the other day for snacks and stuff

[hot cloak]

mmm pupusas

[thick charm]

Basically, the shop I went to was chock-full

You couldn't fit another person in there

Problem was that they only had one register open

So I went to a guy who I know by face and asked him if they could kindly open another register

And his response was the best thing

He said "No, we can't. The next register we'd open would be number 5 but the guy in charge of that went home earlier."

[lost dagger]

🤔

[thick charm]

I ASked him

[hot cloak]

would you say the shop was chuck full?

[thick charm]

"couldn't you just play cashier for a while?"

And he said

"Nah man, I'm in charge of number 3, we can't open that if 5 isn't open"

And basically he just sat there and read his magazine while his coworker did all the work

And yes

It was chuck full

[lost dagger]

hahaha

[hot cloak]

that's the most german grocery store story ever

lol

[thick charm]

It is, isn't it?

[opal sequoia]

Wow.

[thick charm]

You can put them in a pan for a bit

But some people prefer the raw meat

[lost dagger]

this sounds good

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loIIPHDuHqc

[hot cloak]

i can't imagine eating mettbrötchen ohne brötchen

sounds slimy

[lost dagger]

mettbrötchen actually sounds really good

i almost bought pork instead of beef but ended up buying beef

[hot cloak]

beef is tastier

you made a good choice

[lost dagger]

i don't know if it's okay to eat this beef raw though

[hot cloak]

it's probably more ok than eating pork raw

mett isn't just raw ground pork

[lost dagger]

I did end up having crushed tomatoes so I'm making weird chili

[queen lark]

Yo I am writing a task on germany, anyone wanna help me out a lil?

[naive charm]

I could help a lil bit, if you have some questions

[queen lark]

Task is about what german people do in their spare time after work and school. Just wondering what's popular/normal to do there 😄

[fair iron]

Sleep.

[pine ginkgo]

sleep.

[queen lark]

ay same

[naive charm]

Sport.... just kidding

[queen lark]

I've heard german people are really into football though

[naive charm]

yep

[queen lark]

Like, they drive around honking if their teams win or something

[naive charm]

sometimes yes

[fair iron]

Not that I've seen.

Not often, at least.

[naive charm]

it's something they really do, especially in small communities, like in villages

[queen lark]

Neatie-o, then i'll write about football I guess

Anything else that is semi-popular to do in germany? (:

[fair iron]

Eat Döner.

Might as well be our national sport.

[pine ginkgo]

they only do it in important games

[queen lark]

Kebab is really good though

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

döner/pizza and sleep

🤔

seems like an accurate description

[queen lark]

Alright thanks I have enough to write about now I think

Good stuff

[runic rain]

Helloo

[grave adder]

By the way, what's with that 'Anzeige ist raus!' meme?

[foggy birch]

[naive charm]

https://data.motor-talk.de/data/galleries/0/3/9371/68192693/anzeige-ist-raus-6698686196302046351-1382889056952432671.JPG
While the exact origin of this meme is unknown, some popular german youtuber, like KuchenTV, who has made controversial stuff recently, made it popular.

[twilit garden]

the picture is from a german TV show called Toto & Harry

[naive charm]

yep

[hot cloak]

oh god

[fair iron]

[slate sentinel]

I've had enough MP cancer comp today

[slate sentinel]

I WAS A CHILD BACK THEN

[thick charm]

We grew up on those games

[slate sentinel]

[thick charm]

Also

Age of Empires

[slate sentinel]

Ye. Still playing on LAN Parties

[thick charm]

God I haven't been on one in ages

[slate sentinel]

over here is one every 3-4 months

btw

[thick charm]

Where's over here

[slate sentinel]

that new pirate game from Ubi looks lit. I hope it has campaign, if not I will call it Pirates of the Caribbean MP because it doesn't have anything more to offer... Just like the movies is what I'm saying.

Germany

[thick charm]

Probably not going to buy that one, doesn't seem like I'd have a lot of fun with that

[slate sentinel]

We'll see how it evolves

[thick charm]

I live in Frankfurt and I haven't heard of any Lan parties going on in ages

Huh

Maybe I'm just not looking hard enough

[slate sentinel]

I live in cologne

In Frankfurt I am pretty sure there are

If not you could still come over

[thick charm]

probably

[slate sentinel]

It's just <200 km

[thick charm]

Yeah I've been to Cologne a few times

I was born close to the Hessian/Westphalian border so Cologne was the go-to city

[slate sentinel]

nice

[hot cloak]

i always get excited at other kölner :3

[slate sentinel]

when you open an old project file you need to find it not working anymore...

[fresh bridge]

yoooooo who wants to join us in voicechat

[pallid kelp]

can someone once again give me some advice on waste disposal in dschermany?

is it ok to use black plastic bags for paper, brown and black rubbish?

[hot cloak]

for paper probably not

the other 2 probably

[twilit garden]

They are ok for plastic waste and other disposables (black). For paper waste, you should not use them and there are special bio-degradeable bags for brown that are either made of paper or a special kind of plastic that rots away quite easily

[sudden panther]

Is sorting trash a thing over there?

[hot cloak]

extensively

[sudden panther]

And people actually care about it and bother doing it? 😮

[hot cloak]

i have like, 6? or 7? trash can types around my apartment for different waste

[sudden panther]

Woa dude, impressive.

[hot cloak]

save planet etc

[sudden panther]

I assume they know students are lazy shits, so we just have a bunch of giant dumpsters, which are somehow always full. 🙄

[hot cloak]

o-oh

😦

i shamed my neighbors with a zettel in the treppenhaus for not sorting their trash correctly

[sudden panther]

Haha!

[hot cloak]

because they did it so badly it required me to clean up after them

they threw a bunch of glass, verpackung, and old food into the paper trash

[sudden panther]

Boy do I hate slobs.

[hot cloak]

the problem with apartment trash cans is if someone screws up recycling, the bins overflow and you cant throw out that kind of trash anymore

but if everyone just sorts it, it works out

[sudden panther]

I should take a picture of the nuclear wasteland our kitchen often turns into when I get the chance. .-.

[hot cloak]

oh pls do

haha

[twilit garden]

Yeah, you need the four standard cans (plastics, paper, bio-degredables, and rest), a place to collect your Pfandflaschen, somewhere to collect glass bottles and jars, and something to collect old batteries

[lavish saddle]

Our trashcans are only sorted in big places

At my place we have 3 trashcans,2 fir normal and 1 for bio

[hot cloak]

i separate pfandflaschen into "machine will take" and "damnit have to talk to a human"

[lavish saddle]

(big places like hauptbahnhof)

[twilit garden]

I was that human for a time, riot

[hot cloak]

were you?

[lavish saddle]

I guess Austria isn't too huge on sorting

[hot cloak]

how many angry alcoholics?

[twilit garden]

Yes, i worked at a Rewe in my town

[hot cloak]

ahh

[twilit garden]

Too many

[hot cloak]

HELLO HOOMAN

here i found 60 cents in sweaty sock coins for my oettinger

[twilit garden]

Sounds lovely

[hot cloak]

never experienced?

the woman at the kiosk around the corner seems to get this stuff every time im in there

[twilit garden]

I will never get the smell of rancid beer bottles in the heat of the summer out of my nose

[hot cloak]

ooh i know exactly that smell

eugh

the smell of sticky old beer or even just fanta is terrible

now add heat 🤢

[pine ginkgo]

woe

i dont want to be neighbours with riot

[twilit garden]

Somebody found a crate that was a year old apparently

[hot cloak]

na i used to work in a bar luna

the smells are similar to what i guess pfand return areas smell like

;_; pls no bully

[lavish saddle]

Right, we have no pfand :(

R.I.P

It was the best in Michigan when I could take the bottles in and get a bunch of money for them

[hot cloak]

heh isnt pfand in MI like 5c?

[lavish saddle]

10

[hot cloak]

eh

25c for soft plastic here

and cans

[lavish saddle]

oh wow

[hot cloak]

And 15c for glass

15?!

i thought beer bottles were like 8

Yogurt for example

I get 15c at Lidl or Aldi

oh what

....i didnt know this

i have been throwing those in glass containers ffffff

Lol

think of the tens and tens of cents i have literally thrown away

[pine ginkgo]

wow riot

no wonder you can't renounce your citizenship

with losing that much money

[hot cloak]

yeah seriously

all those damn glass jars

[lavish saddle]

You even get pfand on yougurt?

wow

o.o

We have no pfand

[hot cloak]

luna i mustve thrown away at least 3 of those in 5 years

i would've had nearly half a euro ;_;

[pine ginkgo]

that could have been a water bottle for you

:(

[pallid kelp]

why does riotto not have a picture anymore

also how do doctors work here in germany? Does it cost much to have a small thing checked? Do they speak english well enough if i don't understand something they say?

[whole rapids]

Most minor things are covered by your health insurance

It depends where you are and which doctor

in Berlin they are more likely to than, say, Bielefeld

medical terms are international enough though, I would think

[hot cloak]

Is anyone online this evening to practise some speaking in german?

[twilit garden]

@hot cloak we are kinda doing that right now :D

[pallid kelp]

since i'm about to get registered and actually start living as a citizen officially, how should i tackle health insurance? Should I seek a private one or...?

[whole rapids]

depends, do you have a job?

[lavish saddle]

I've always had to have insurance to have a visa o.O

[whole rapids]

Depends where you come from I guess

I came here without insurance

[pallid kelp]

i'm a eu citizen so no need for visa

don't have a job yet since i'm not eyt registered :P

as i mentioned, i'll be able to do that very soon

[lavish saddle]

huh, weird o.o

[whole rapids]

you don't need to be registered to get a job

[pallid kelp]

will the arbeitgeber provide insurance?

[whole rapids]

do you mean registered with the local government?

[pallid kelp]

yeah, anmeldung

[whole rapids]

they help you with it or give it to you

[pallid kelp]

i can't work here if i'm legally a tourist

[whole rapids]

but you're an EU citizen, right?

[pallid kelp]

yes

[whole rapids]

then you can work anywhere in EU

[pallid kelp]

it doesn't mean i don't have to abide by local law. I've been sent away and the agentur für arbeit because i didn't have a registered address yet

[whole rapids]

you mean at the Jobcenter?

[hot cloak]

sounds like a job for riot

[pine ginkgo]

super riot!

[hot cloak]

worst case scenario is they turn you down for no insurance

but doc out of pocket here is cheap (to me)

i think i paid like 30€ for a visit

you should organize private insurance for you both, you'll pay out of pocket but be reimbursed

[pallid kelp]

hm. I'll look around guess

[hot cloak]

i used care concept for private insurance

for students

wasn't great wasn't awful

when you get a part or full time job you can enroll in public insurance

[pallid kelp]

i'm not a student tho, at least für now

[whole rapids]

I have to pay TK about 120€ per month for insurance

[hot cloak]

where did your avy go, riot?

i deleted it

fair enough

yeah i know

[lavish saddle]

TK?

[hot cloak]

i wasn't a student either

i also paid TK about 120€

[pallid kelp]

hm

[whole rapids]

TechnikerKrankenkasse

[lavish saddle]

I pay 56€ over here for insurance

[hot cloak]

but that's public insurance

[whole rapids]

since I am a disgusting jobless person

[hot cloak]

and they probably will not take berzi unless for way more money

ditto

[lavish saddle]

For my public insurance for the GKK

[hot cloak]

the govt pays my TK bill 😃

[whole rapids]

cheater

[hot cloak]

thanks ALG I

that's not cheating

i paid into it

[whole rapids]

oh

[hot cloak]

for over a year

3+ actually

then was unemployed

so i qualify

[whole rapids]

it was a joke, I figured you would have done that, but who knows what is possible here

[hot cloak]

i meant to explain since berzi probably is asking genuine questions 😉

eliminates confusion for others

[whole rapids]

ah, true enough, my bad then

doctors can be quite cheap here regardless, if they know you have no insurance

[hot cloak]

u good bro

yeah

[whole rapids]

I had to get an abscess removed and it only cost 60€ in total

[hot cloak]

once while on vacation here i had to go to a doc

[whole rapids]

before I had insurance

[hot cloak]

she couldn't take my US insurance

and she just ripped up the rechnung in front of me and wished me a merry christmas

[lavish saddle]

I had an ear infection and didn't have my insurance yet, so I avoided the doctor

[whole rapids]

lol cool doc

[lavish saddle]

I literally put an onion to my ear

to try to get rid of it

[hot cloak]

yeah it was pretty nice of her

[lavish saddle]

It does nothing btw

[whole rapids]

one of my doctors "forgot" my details

[lavish saddle]

I ended up just taking a bunch of pain killers

[pallid kelp]

never do that omg

[lavish saddle]

It took 2 weeks, but it finally went away

[whole rapids]

you're supposed to put the onion into your ear

rookie error

[lavish saddle]

well

[hot cloak]

that's the most american shit i've ever read

[lavish saddle]

I've never heard of it before

Mother in law told me to do it

lmao

[hot cloak]

i didn't want to go to a doctor so i treated an infection that could result in hearing loss with groceries

[pallid kelp]

hahaha

[lavish saddle]

XD

[hot cloak]

i shiggy diggy do

[lavish saddle]

I couldn't afford that crap

I didn't have my awesome insurance yet

x-x

[whole rapids]

can't you get something from a pharmacy for that?

[lavish saddle]

no

[hot cloak]

i can't imagine the out of pocket being more than 30€

[lavish saddle]

They said I needed to be diagnosed

[hot cloak]

no you need antibiotics

[whole rapids]

really? surprising

[lavish saddle]

Yeah, but my problem was that I had american insurance

[hot cloak]

how is that surprising

it's the same in most first world countries

[lavish saddle]

I was told I had to pay everything out of pocket

and they would pay me back

[hot cloak]

out of pocket antibiotics is like 5€

out of pocket doctor is like 30€

[lavish saddle]

...

I pay that much walking into an american doctor

with insurance

........wut?

[whole rapids]

surprising for me because I can buy something from a pharmacy from where I am from if I need, just need a prescripition for special drugs or so

[hot cloak]

you aren't america

[whole rapids]

indeed

[lavish saddle]

How overpriced are our doctors?

o.e

[hot cloak]

is this surprising to you?

[pallid kelp]

americans being surprised at people not draining them for routine operations

[hot cloak]

hospitals don't really cost that much

[whole rapids]

how much does a visit to a doctor cost in USAland?

[pallid kelp]

is this still a thing?

yurop is stronk guys, it's time you learn it

[hot cloak]

my amazing US insurance was $20 copay for a "hausarzt"

$50 for a specialist

[lavish saddle]

for me it was 30 dollars our of pocket to visit a doctor with insurance

[hot cloak]

OBGYN is a specialist

which is insanity

[whole rapids]

you have to pay with insurance?

[hot cloak]

yes?

[whole rapids]

what

[lavish saddle]

wut?

[hot cloak]

they're called copays

[whole rapids]

I thought that's the point of the insurance

[lavish saddle]

We have great insurance

[hot cloak]

your insurance knocks it down from ~$150 or more

yes

[lavish saddle]

it covers most of it

[hot cloak]

it's a cost reduction measure

[lavish saddle]

and leaves you with 30 dollars

[whole rapids]

dang

[lavish saddle]

XD

[whole rapids]

bless the NHS

[lavish saddle]

I can just walk in over here

[hot cloak]

my mom racked up a quarter of a million dollars in hospital bills in 3 days

[lavish saddle]

Yeah, I can imagine

it's ridiculous

[whole rapids]

I should be careful not to get any injury if I go to the USA

[lavish saddle]

probably

[fair iron]

"I can imagine"
You can? I can't. That sounds surreal.

[hot cloak]

you can get ausland insurance 😃

i have to do that now when i go home

[whole rapids]

how does that not bankrupt you?

[lavish saddle]

My boyfriend had insurance while he visited

[hot cloak]

because i'm too old for my parents insurance now

[lavish saddle]

He paid 150

and if he got injured

we pay out of pocket and they pay it back

[hot cloak]

there's TK approved hospitals in different countries

i got sick in spain and had to look this all up heh

[whole rapids]

that's good to know

[hot cloak]

ok i've imparted adult knowledge i must leave

[lavish saddle]

I'm still covered by my dad's

[hot cloak]

i'm at a stand up show and it's intermission

[lavish saddle]

but he's going to cancel it

because I have insurance here

[whole rapids]

thank you, wise one

[hot cloak]

no prob

[fair iron]

Ooh, sounds like fun! Enjoy. 😃

[hot cloak]

feel free to ping me for insurance questions lel

it is! it's shahak shapira

[whole rapids]

he could pay your insurance here, everyone wins

[lavish saddle]

Well

He gives me monthly money

So

I guess he indirectly does

Since he paid my brother's university

This is how he makes it even

Since my university is so cheap

[whole rapids]

fair enough then

[lavish saddle]

😄 ya

[runic rain]

Yo

[pallid kelp]

About to try out spaghettieis

[shy bobcat]

NOOOO i forgot to get spaghettieis

[pallid kelp]

It's actually good

But I ate a giant alcoholic parfeit instead

[fair iron]

That also sounds good.

[pine ginkgo]

nice

so spaghettieis is berzi approved?

[pallid kelp]

Yeah because it's not really spaghetti

[pine ginkgo]

nice

you can also order it with any other flavour to replace the vanillie eis

if you like

[pallid kelp]

Yeah the bf ordered a nutella one

[hot cloak]

schokoeis, bestes eis

[fair iron]

Neeee.

[long sierra]

Hello

[still hazel]

Hi

[sturdy shadow]

Lol

"It is really good but i had tons of alk instead"

Dortmund is tainting you

[pallid kelp]

lol

then i ate fries and fried fish at some kind of holländisch franchise

also saw a very strange guy browsing electronics at saturn

like a long black tunic and he was completely shaved including eyebrows

quite creepy

[hot cloak]

bizarre

i've seen 2 dudes today with robin williams level arm hair

maybe his hair just migrated to them

[lavish saddle]

Completely shaved? Oh my o.o

[quasi merlin]

"shaved including eyebrows"

Was zur Hölle?

[fair iron]

1. Long black tunic.
2. Completely shaved.
Obi Wan never told you what happened to your father.

[hot cloak]

Chemo?

[fair iron]

Kann sein. ^

[quasi merlin]

Würde Sinn ergeben

[lavish saddle]

That would make sense I guess

[pallid kelp]

considering the long tunic practically screaming "remember to praise satan" nah, i'd not guess chemo

also his skin looked fine and all, chemo isn't that nice on it

[hot cloak]

mmm some dude followed me out of the ubahn station just now to shout creepy shit at me urrrgh

[lavish saddle]

e^e'

[pallid kelp]

uhhh

remember to always carry a wakizashi for protection, riotto-dono

[hot cloak]

trying to get me to follow him out a different exit and i gave him the no bullshit mom voice "kennen wir uns?"

and he scuttled off but kept yelling gross shit at me

[lavish saddle]

You carry a mini sword?

[pallid kelp]

it's not mini, it's a short sword

and no, not really

[lavish saddle]

lol

[pallid kelp]

but i would if i was allowed to, they're so kool

[hot cloak]

lol

[pallid kelp]

also i'm mildly annoyed that all that training i had with such weapons will hardly ever come in handy

[fair iron]

Chemo can have a lot of different side effects. So it's quite hard to tell.

You had weapons training?

[pallid kelp]

[pallid kelp]

jujutsu and ninjutsu

which included also weapons

[fair iron]

I've always admired those martial arts.

[hot cloak]

chemo is scary stuff

[pallid kelp]

there's also a sicilian martial art which uses some kind of heavy wooden stick but i never found an instructor for that one, it's kind of underground

shepherds used to use it to beat the shit out of wolves so it can't be that bad, was always curious about it

Are you using Google Translate?

[hot cloak]

yes 😦

tut mir leid

http://dict.cc

[fair iron]

That explains. It works for simple words or short phrases on occasion. Overall, though, I'd advise against it.

^

Dict.cc shows you the different translations with their context, which Google doesn't do.

[hot cloak]

danke

[opal sequoia]

The more common a phrase, the less trustworthy you should be of auto translators.

[hot cloak]

Glad google translator is not going to replace my job any time soon

hahhaha

[opal sequoia]

Because more common phrases tend to have more changes to them, it seems like. Like colloquial phrasing and non-literal word choices.

[whole rapids]

I have found it helpful just to see what it thinks, even if you shouldn't necessarily trust it.

[hot cloak]

Yes like any girlfriend i ever had, coudn't trust her but you know.. just to see what she thinks 😉

[whole rapids]

that's what they want you to think

[fair iron]

Or is it? 🤔

[hot cloak]

hahahaha

[hot cloak]

[whole rapids]

to answer your question:

btw Casca, are möglich and möglicherweise interchangeable? I thought they were

[fair iron]

They are not.

[whole rapids]

Ja, ich lebe in Bielefield, der nicht existiert

[fair iron]

Similar to possible and possibly, they can't be swapped.

[thick charm]

they aren't, no. You could think of them as possible and possibly

well

Guess I'm just too slow

[fair iron]

Seems we had the same idea. ^^

[thick charm]

Damn you Casca and your quick fingers

[hot cloak]

[hot cloak]

[whole rapids]

Bielefield

[fair iron]

Ich habe angeblich Familie in Bielefeld.

[whole rapids]

Die Straße, auf der ich wohne, ist schlecht aber die Stadt ist insgesamt nett

warum "angeblich"?

[fair iron]

Weil Bielefeld nicht existiert.

[whole rapids]

[whole rapids]

Sounds about right

[hot cloak]

[whole rapids]

because of that (probably not that simple of course)

[hot cloak]

yes, not that simple

but yes

The UK said

we want this one, this one and this one

we said ok

(Uk may have used some threats)

[thick charm]

haha

Yeah

[hot cloak]

[thick charm]

"no"

"RIGHT?"

[hot cloak]

😄

[lost dagger]

[hot cloak]

They didnt wanted angola

they wanted the gold and diamond mine

mines

[thick charm]

It was also supposed to connect the south to the other british colonies

[hot cloak]

yes

and get the most mines

in the middle

hahaha

[thick charm]

But then the Germans swooped in and claimed German East Africa

So that wasn't going to happen anymore

but at least they still had the mines

[hot cloak]

xD

UK also got alot of gold from brazil

[thick charm]

wait no not Angola

Rhodesia

That's the one

[hot cloak]

yes

angola was ours

From what we lean in portugal

[whole rapids]

Portugal began trading in Africa majorly first IIRC

[hot cloak]

we didn't get much from that treaty

[whole rapids]

also India/Asia, but that might have been the Dutch

[hot cloak]

we got first to africa

india

[thick charm]

"Question 1: Steal the spice trade - that's not a question but the Dutch did it anyway"

[whole rapids]

typical Dutch

[hot cloak]

before deutsch

i started to lean dutch

[thick charm]

my condolences

[lost dagger]

I think I have an east german africa coin somewhere

[whole rapids]

I find Dutch to be like Deutsch but with a cough

[hot cloak]

i shifted to deutsch soon after

Yes they are very similar

[whole rapids]

Wieso?

[hot cloak]

[lost dagger]

🥖 🍑

[whole rapids]

pain in the booty

[dire sentinel]

ich lerne im moment Spanisch und Deutsch, and I even manage to mix those up a lot

"mi madre und mi padre"

[hot cloak]

hahahahahah

[whole rapids]

my German teacher does that too

sometimes she thinks of Spanish words quicker

[hot cloak]

mi madre y mi padre* spanisch is easy

[lost dagger]

je möchte eine horchata

[hot cloak]

xD

[dire sentinel]

imo german is easier, the words all sound like english already

[thick charm]

oh duuude

Horchata

I forgot those existed

[whole rapids]

Spanish has a lot of similar words too

[lost dagger]

i made it once with blue food coloring

[hot cloak]

after spanisch lean portuguese

[dire sentinel]

Ugh

I wish

[hot cloak]

then you will learn what mixing up languages really look like

looks like*

[whole rapids]

Spanish has one good thing over German

one less gender

[hot cloak]

in portuguese we only have 2 genders

soon only one

[whole rapids]

why soon?

[hot cloak]

monogender

femenism will win

xD

[whole rapids]

are people beginning to use one gender for all/most words?

[hot cloak]

ni

no

im just joking

[whole rapids]

aw

Schade

[hot cloak]

Portuguese is harder than spanisch

[dire sentinel]

sick

[whole rapids]

There were two women in my class once, one who spoke Spanish and the other Portguese, and they could speak their native languages and understand each other. Can you do that too with Spanish?

[dire sentinel]

now everyone knows I'm bad

[whole rapids]

gotta start somewhere

[dire sentinel]

tru

[hot cloak]

Ja

if you are portuguese you speak spanish

and vice versa

[whole rapids]

that seems nice

[thick charm]

native spanish and portugese speakers usually understand each other. Just like German and Dutch

[hot cloak]

but its easier for portuguese to understand spanish

[thick charm]

Or German and Bavarian

[hot cloak]

than spanish to understand portuguese

idk why

[dire sentinel]

Mein Freund komme aus Spanien, und er versteht portugiesisch, franzozisch, all that

[hot cloak]

i had 2
