You guided me

[tribal warren]

Like a soul?

SouletLuna

[fluid horizon]

I’m working in a bank? Lol

[hot cloak]

I was thinking like if I won't recall this word I will be bullied for the rest of my days

[fluid horizon]

That is what they said right

Someone want to try to do simple conversation with meh? S:

[ocean robin]

I am afraid that I don't have enough time.

[fluid horizon]

Okays s:

[ancient spade]

[fluid horizon]

I don’t know what ab means in this sense

[ancient spade]

Eita kkkk

[tribal warren]

yesterday I said MacacoVerde to Chuck in VC and he heard Virgem xD

[ancient spade]

Oh yeah

It means what's up, Sly

[tribal warren]

what do you prefer: Luquinhas or MacacoVirgem?

[ancient spade]

Tough choice

[fluid horizon]

Oh alright

[tribal warren]

haha

[fluid horizon]

Uh.

Ich bin in Klasse

[tribal warren]

ey, btw, it's all just a joke okay, in case you're annoyed by me calling you by your real name, tell me

:p

but I figure you don't mind, do you? :v

[fluid horizon]

Und du Macaco?

[ancient spade]

Hang on

[fluid horizon]

Can I even say that

[ancient spade]

Sorry dudes

Ja, das ist richtig 😄

[fluid horizon]

[ancient spade]

Oh yeah

[fluid horizon]

[ancient spade]

Oh ich habe nur gerade bemerkt, das ich dich nicht beantwortet habe

Sorry

Ich habe gerade gegessen :D

[fluid horizon]

You just ate?

[ancient spade]

Yeah

[fluid horizon]

Was isst du?

Oh well...

Idk the past yet really

[ancient spade]

Oh kein Problem 😄

Ich habe Hähnchen mit Reis und Bohnen gegessen

I know you don't know perfekt yet

[fluid horizon]

I can recognize it

Just forming it and knowing words and grammar is an issue

[ancient spade]

Yeah

[fluid horizon]

But I am new so my vocabulary is limited

[ancient spade]

I see

But you can do this 😄

[fluid horizon]

Chicken rice and beans nice

[ancient spade]

Yeah

Typisch brasilianisch

[fluid horizon]

Yea I need to make flashcards for vocab but that’s gonna take so long :w:

[ancient spade]

Cool

I'm not a big fan of flashcards, but it works for you, go for it 😄

[hot cloak]

Fokken fokk I can't fall asleep

[ancient spade]

Oh

[fluid horizon]

Everyone says not to do flashcards for some reason

[ancient spade]

What time is it?

[fluid horizon]

I don’t get why

[hot cloak]

00:26

[ancient spade]

It's too dry for me haha

[hot cloak]

I'm too excited because of Baikal lake

[fluid horizon]

Like how else am I going to learn words if someone says chicken once every like 2 weeks

[hot cloak]

Fokk

[ancient spade]

What is that?

Well, good point

I don't think it's that bad for reviewing vocab

[fluid horizon]

Like I’ll never end up knowing it unless I see it more than once

[hot cloak]

A lake

[ancient spade]

But the way people do it is often counterproductive

Oh

[hot cloak]

The deepest lake in the world

[ancient spade]

Nice

[fluid horizon]

How so..?

[hot cloak]

I will pretend that I'm chinese.

[ancient spade]

Are you doing scuba diving or something?

[hot cloak]

Heh

In December

[ancient spade]

Well, people sometimes just bruteforce their way through a deck

[hot cloak]

I'm going to walk on it

[ancient spade]

In summary, I dont think it's a good primary source for vocabulary

[fluid horizon]

What is then

[ancient spade]

That's cool fox

I don't have seasons here, so I forget about this stuff

Lel

It's always hot here

[hot cloak]

And maybe try riding some snow car I don't know how to translate it

We call it just buran

[ancient spade]

Sledge?

Like the one santa uses?

[fluid horizon]

Sleigh?

[ancient spade]

Oh

Yeah

My English is rusty

[fluid horizon]

Snowmobile

[ancient spade]

Oh

[hot cloak]

https://goo.gl/images/BZBf3n

Yess

[ancient spade]

We use the same word in Portuguese lol

[fluid horizon]

Yea snowmobile

[ancient spade]

Snowmobile

[hot cloak]

And watch cute seals

[ancient spade]

That's really cool

Aw

[hot cloak]

And there are a lot of museums

Bit i should check the weather first

Wew not cold at all

[ancient spade]

What's the temperature?

[hot cloak]

Somebody said there will be a blizzard

-10

[ancient spade]

not cold at all

[hot cloak]

Cold enough for you to die

I know

[fluid horizon]

What do you think is better for vocab then

[hot cloak]

I'm melting when it's +25

[ancient spade]

The lowest it gets here is 26

Well, just get a book 😄

[hot cloak]

Poor Brazilians

[ancient spade]

And use the texts it provides

[hot cloak]

Memrise is my fav app

[ancient spade]

That's actually because I live in the Northeast

Very close to the equator line

[fluid horizon]

What books though

[ancient spade]

But it even snows in some cities in the south

Good question

I don't really know

I used the ones I had to in classes

[hot cloak]

I like to read magazines

[ancient spade]

Themen aktuell

[hot cloak]

Vitamin de for example

[ancient spade]

It's not bad

[hot cloak]

Sicher

[ancient spade]

But I don't really now any others

[hot cloak]

A good textbook

Ideen auch

[ancient spade]

I heard the teach yourself series is a good start for any language

[fluid horizon]

Textbooks or book books

[ancient spade]

Textbooks

[hot cloak]

Textbooks

[fluid horizon]

Well I have the first one from the list of resources

But it’s grammar not vocab

[ancient spade]

I see

[hot cloak]

Pls don't start with this copy of friends

I forgot the name

[fluid horizon]

?

[hot cloak]

Extra

Don't watch it

[ancient spade]

Ooohh

[hot cloak]

Ever

[ancient spade]

I watched all the episodes

[fluid horizon]

I’m not watching those BS class shows lol

[ancient spade]

Yeah, it's a friend's ripoff

[hot cloak]

Me too

Goddamn I hate this show

But this American guy is precious

[ancient spade]

Lol I don't remember it being so bad

[hot cloak]

Just like flappy

[fluid horizon]

What

[ancient spade]

I mean, not from a learning perspective

[hot cloak]

Woooot

[ancient spade]

The American guy is the protagonist

[hot cloak]

Ban macaco

[ancient spade]

Lol

Meh

I'm Brazilian

[fluid horizon]

confused

[ancient spade]

That's already a reason to be banned

[hot cloak]

<- macaco

[ancient spade]

Lol

Sly, the whole story of Extra revolves around this American guy who moves in with an old penpal of his

And foxxo compared him to Flappy

[fluid horizon]

Oh I thought you were talking about me and flops

[ancient spade]

Because he's so precious and stuff

Lol

[hot cloak]

FUCK

I deleted it

[ancient spade]

What happened

Oh

You're on your phone right?

[hot cloak]

Yes

[ancient spade]

Hahaha it's happened to me too

[fluid horizon]

I really don’t know what is better than flashcards really though like

I don’t want to look up every word in a book

[hot cloak]

Flashcards suck

[red pewter]

i love flashcards 🤔

[hot cloak]

The best way to learn words - to learn them in context

[ancient spade]

Exactly

[hot cloak]

And use them in exercises

[red pewter]

well, yeah, but i like to note new words i've learned

[fluid horizon]

But I don’t pick up on the things in context :/

[hot cloak]

Flashcards and some courses in apps like Memrise can give sometimes wrong translations

[fluid horizon]

Like i feel like it’ll never feel natural knowing what case things take

Or just in context

[red pewter]

there's some words I just CANNOT pick up though. like "experience" and "development" will not stick in my mind. really frustrating.

[fair iron]

Bell! ❤

[red pewter]

i think because they're not concrete

Casca ❤ How are you!

[fair iron]

I'm great, and yourself? ^^

[fluid horizon]

But I’m like not even at the point where I could read a text

[red pewter]

bored in class, pretending to take notes

[hot cloak]

But like all these German verbs: angeben, vergeben, ergeben, vorgeben, nachgeben, abgeben etc

How can you learn them without the context

[fluid horizon]

I guess you can’t..

[red pewter]

sly, i'll give you one later today that we did on a sunday

[fluid horizon]

But I don’t understand any of them anyways

[hot cloak]

It would be just a mess

[fluid horizon]

I feel like I’ll never understand them :/

[ancient spade]

You will

[hot cloak]

Don't say it

[ancient spade]

Yeah

[hot cloak]

Ofc you will

[ancient spade]

You can do this

[hot cloak]

If you will learn them

[ancient spade]

You have wonderful people on this server to help you out

[red pewter]

remind me after class! the text is a good one i think

[ancient spade]

If you persist, you can become blue in no time

[fluid horizon]

I know but I get upset with myself too often for getting things wrong

[hot cloak]

I can recommend watching series in german

With subtitles

[ancient spade]

You shouldn't though

[hot cloak]

You can start with cartoons

[fluid horizon]

But I can’t even pick up on what words are being said

[ancient spade]

That's part of the learning process

[red pewter]

i'm trying to watch more easygerman. my listening is so bad

[fluid horizon]

I know but I always get upset with myself

I don’t know how to not

[ancient spade]

How long have you been learning German?

[fluid horizon]

3.5 weeks

[ancient spade]

Oh come on

[red pewter]

someone said something about talking in past tense to me yesterday, and I thought they were talking about it raining.... :/ reden vs. regen RIP

[fluid horizon]

I’ve learned more than 2 years of spanish so far

[hot cloak]

It's ok. I'm not always sure for example which prefix I should use

Macaco how to say "I" in spanish

[ancient spade]

Dude, you just started learning German

Yo

[hot cloak]

Yo????

[ancient spade]

Yeah

[hot cloak]

Rili???

[ancient spade]

Haha why not

[hot cloak]

[ancient spade]

(I hope you know I don't speak Spanish)

So, Sly

[hot cloak]

Wait what

My whole life was a lie

[ancient spade]

Lol

Yeah, brazilians speak Portuguese

[hot cloak]

Portuguese

....

Fokkity

[ancient spade]

This usually triggers a lot of brazilians

But I'm chill

Hehehe

[hot cloak]

😿 sorry

OK 7 minutes more and I have to sleep

🙈 ✨

Now I want to eat what a teufel kreis

[ancient spade]

Anyway, you shouldn't worry about making mistakes Sly. I personally would prefer as a beginner to focus on input. Getting as much exposure to the language as you can. Doing lots of listening especially. You just started learning German.

Why 7 min?

Lol go for it

Whatever that is

[hot cloak]

Bananas

[ancient spade]

Oh

[unkempt flower]

hallo

[ancient spade]

I like bananas 😄

[hot cloak]

Rily

[ancient spade]

Hallo

[unkempt flower]

same

[hot cloak]

I thought you hate them

[ancient spade]

Lol

[hot cloak]

Hello

[ancient spade]

My mom made a banana sweet a couple days ago

It's my weakness

Or one of them

[hot cloak]

What is it

[ancient spade]

I don't really know how it's made

But she puts a bunch of slices to cook

[hot cloak]

Show me a photo

[fluid horizon]

I’ll be right back

[ancient spade]

With stuff

Oh sorry, it's all gone

Bye Sly

[red pewter]

I don't want to be in class; I want to learn german T_T

[ancient spade]

:/

[red pewter]

2 more weeks till the end of the semester.

[ancient spade]

@hot cloak

[thick charm]

2 more weeks of learning until you can finally start to learn

[red pewter]

😄

hi chuck :33

[hot cloak]

Wew

[ancient spade]

😋

[red pewter]

i just want to go to my trip

[cold vessel]

@ancient spade What is that?

[ancient spade]

Banana sweet

[unkempt flower]

is it really called a banana sweet?

also are the bananas soaked in brown sugar syrup?

[ancient spade]

I just translated literally from Portuguese

Doce de banana

[shy bobcat]

just call it doce de banana tbh

we like our foreign food names 😅

[fluid horizon]

I missed a lot D:

[shy bobcat]

😦

[fluid horizon]

Gotta read up like 80 xD

[ancient spade]

I'll keep that in mind then

[fluid horizon]

Oh nvm not that much

[unkempt flower]

Ah I see lol

[fluid horizon]

Yea I know I just started learning Macaco

[unkempt flower]

oh man now i want some bananas

also i need to get back to studying german

[fluid horizon]

But listening I have no clue what’s going on

[unkempt flower]

but then again finals

[ancient spade]

You don't have to at first

Thats why it's good to have a book with audio

Yeah, I'm waiting for my exams, so I can get back to learning German

[fluid horizon]

I have 2 weeks then I can really get to learning German

The only issue really for me is acquiring vocabulary takes time

Like I bet if you asked me what some verbs meant I couldn’t get most of them yet lol

[ancient spade]

It does. Especially in the beginning

[mellow mist]

Vocabulary consumes the most time of my studies 😦

[ancient spade]

That's normal

[mellow mist]

I can never learn stuff without writing

Think about writing 500 words a week on a notebook, then on flashcards

Weak memorizing skills 😂

[ancient spade]

Lel

[fluid horizon]

I can memorize things easily

[ancient spade]

That's awesome

[fluid horizon]

That’s why flashcards work for me

But like

Making flashcards

Also Germans not a good language for verbs on flash cards really I guess

[ancient spade]

What is your method?

Like, how do you use flashcards?

[fluid horizon]

Uh

I go through a stack of them trying to remember what they mean

Then take out ones I know after a few times and leave ones I struggle with

Then flip for the other side

And repeat

[ancient spade]

Hm

[fluid horizon]

Idk I feel like I know nothing because I haven’t done any vocabulary topics yet

But I want to learn the rest of the cases and stuff too

[hot cloak]

Lmao sly

[ancient spade]

So, I'm gonna give my honest opinion

[hot cloak]

You've been learning it for 3 weeks

Why are you so pessimistic

[fluid horizon]

Yea and I know like 7 verbs lol

[ancient spade]

That's ok

[fluid horizon]

Cause that’s my nature ;/

[hot cloak]

Well instead of complaining you'd rather learn

[fluid horizon]

I tend to put myself down

[ancient spade]

Guess how long I've been learning German?

[fluid horizon]

Idk

[ancient spade]

Just guess something

[hot cloak]

Just say to yourself it's time to learn new words, I can't just chat in discord

[fluid horizon]

Idk dude like

2 years

[ocean robin]

Wooo. :D

[ancient spade]

4

[pine ginkgo]

wow 4

[ancient spade]

4 freaking years

[pine ginkgo]

(porra)

[ancient spade]

Yeah

[hot cloak]

Wew

[ocean robin]

(solet why)

[ancient spade]

But I didn't dedicate myself much

And I used bad methods

[hot cloak]

Pretty realistic aha.

[ancient spade]

I got involved in a lot of stuff

[pine ginkgo]

i spent over 18 years

dw

[fluid horizon]

Lul

[hot cloak]

Solet wot

[ancient spade]

Working and school at the same time

So

[hot cloak]

Rily

[ancient spade]

You've been studying for like 3 weeks

Don't set your expectations too high

Otherwise you'll get frustrated easily

[fluid horizon]

It’s just how I am <~>

[shy bobcat]

😦

[ancient spade]

Just go at your own pace

[hot cloak]

Don't set your expectations too high
Otherwise you'll get frustrated easily

My whole life in 2 sentences

[fluid horizon]

Same

[ancient spade]

Well, if you accept it as part of your nature, it's gonna be harder to deal with that

Lol foxxo

You know what i do?

[hot cloak]

What

Chill

[ancient spade]

I have no expectations

[shy bobcat]

I'm a massive perfectionist which is not good with german

"oh i made a mistake, I must suck"

[fluid horizon]

Same lul

[hot cloak]

That's why I bought Senecas letters today

[ancient spade]

Whatever that is

[fluid horizon]

I can’t not have expectations :/

[hot cloak]

Seneca is a founder of stoicism

[pine ginkgo]

oh

[ancient spade]

Oh

[fluid horizon]

But I mean I know I have made more progress than my first two years in Spanish in school

[pine ginkgo]

his views are pretty interesting

[fluid horizon]

Maybe not vocabulary wise but yea

[pine ginkgo]

have fun, affdude

[ancient spade]

Lol solet

[hot cloak]

Solet

A founder or the founder

[ancient spade]

Aff is actually an interjection in Portuguese

[pine ginkgo]

[ancient spade]

But nevermind

[pine ginkgo]

lol

[hot cloak]

Like we have never talked about him, so it's a

[pine ginkgo]

BUT WE ARE ON A GERMAN SERVER

[hot cloak]

??

[pine ginkgo]

PORRA

[ancient spade]

Hahhaha

[pine ginkgo]

[hot cloak]

Solet blease

[ancient spade]

[pine ginkgo]

CARALHO

PORRA

inb4 krypti

[ancient spade]

Lol ok

[hot cloak]

solet....

[quasi merlin]

Luna why

[shy bobcat]

luna is apparently seska 🤔

[fluid horizon]

Well

I have free time right now

I dont know what to study though

[ancient spade]

Study German :D

Or physics

That's what I'm gonna do

See ya

[fluid horizon]

I mean in German

[ancient spade]

Oh

[hot cloak]

Lol I said 40 minutes ago "7 minutes more"

[fluid horizon]

Schlaft

Or is it just Schlaf

[hot cloak]

Schlafe

[fluid horizon]

course

[quasi merlin]

Schlaf is the noun

[fluid horizon]

Whats telling them to sleep

[quasi merlin]

Telling more than one person to sleep?

Schlaft

[thick charm]

^ Technically that would be Schlaft!, yes. A more common way to express that would be Geht schlafen! though. Go to bed! instead of just 'sleep!'

[fluid horizon]

No just one

[thick charm]

The same without the t

[quasi merlin]

Geh schlafen

[thick charm]

Schlaf! or Geh schlafen!

[fluid horizon]

No i mean with jsut schlafen

o

[vernal prawn]

Mika

Guten Tag~

[fluid horizon]

Typing too fast >~>

[quasi merlin]

Hi, Mika

[fluid horizon]

Ugh r noise is so hard

[vernal prawn]

Ich hab dich vermisst

[quasi merlin]

Mika ❤

Yea, Sly, the R sound isn't easy.

[fluid horizon]

I think im closer now

Uh

Like I can do this rolly thing i think

Slowly getting closer

[shy bobcat]

German r was invented during the war as a way to detect American spies

[fluid horizon]

I can sorta roll it

but in words not yet

[quasi merlin]

A rolled R is also fine

[fluid horizon]

Not like the spanish one

like im trying to get that uvular sound lol

[quasi merlin]

And "squirrel" was invented to detect German spies, Ari

[fluid horizon]

lol

[shy bobcat]

Genau

[fluid horizon]

Ariiiii

What do I do D:

[vernal prawn]

@quasi merlin ❤

[tired scarab]

do you guys have any opinions about lingvist?

[sour mesa]

@ocean robin Now I feel the pain you have when someone dies in your anime thing. Yesterday in my favorite serie my favorite character died. I would be lying if I said that I wasn't sad or crying

[ocean robin]

Yes 😦

[whole rapids]

[shy bobcat]

😦

[whole rapids]

I rarely feel sadness and the such from anime or manga but the latest Hajime No Ippo chapters, if anyone reads that, really rattled me

[sour mesa]

What I watched wasn't manga

Or anime

[pallid kelp]

@tired scarab tried it for a bit. Didn't find it very useful

but then again it's the Nth SRS system, which I never really liked in general

[proven eagle]

Would this be correct for : I tie a rope to a trie

tree*

Ich binde einem Baum einen Strick.

[pine ginkgo]

no

you are missing the preposition

[proven eagle]

zu?

[pine ginkgo]

an

[proven eagle]

ook

[twilit garden]

No, this means that you tie a rooe for a tree, so he might hang himself

[proven eagle]

Ich binde an einem Baum einen Strick.

[pine ginkgo]

also check the case for the preposition

[fluid horizon]

Yoo

Wait oh this is 2

Eh I’ll stay here I guess lol

I need to learn vocab but anki def not for me I think

who needs correct English anyway

[proven eagle]

hi

would this be correct

(entirely sure they're not)

unter (under) - Unter der Baum, ich habe geschlafen.
aufwachen (wake up) - Um sechs Uhr, ich wache auf, weil der Alarme ringt.
aber (but), beißen (bite) - Ich helfe Ihnen, aber er beißt mich.
einmal (once) - Einmal, habe ich versucht jemanden, aber es ist gelaufen.
befreien (set free) - Heute, ich habe befreit einen Vogel.

[hot cloak]

Unter dem Baum (Dativ) habe ich geschlafen.
Um sechs Uhr wache ich auf, weil der Wecker klingelt.
Ich helfe Ihnen (it's correct but it makes no sense in this sentence, because Ihnen = you official in Dativ, maybe you wanted to say ihn? The correct one seems to be ihm )
Versuchen = to try. Did you try someone? You need no comma after einmal
Heute habe ich einen Vogel befreit.

[proven eagle]

Oops i meant Einmal habe ich versucht jemandem helfen, aber es ist gelaufen. yes i made a mistake with comma after mal, thanks.

[shy bobcat]

aand I'm of no need here

[quasi merlin]

Ari, it's 10.25pm, are you fertig with your work?

totally not stalking your timezone

[proven eagle]

@hot cloak thanks.

[hot cloak]

You're welcome

[proven eagle]

Einmal habe ich versucht jemandem helfen, aber es ist gelaufen.

btw whats the mistake there

[hot cloak]

Jemandem zu helfen

And what do you mean by "es ist gelaufen"

[proven eagle]

i helped an animal but he ran

pretend that jemandem is an animal k

[hot cloak]

that's not k

Einmal habe ich versucht einem Tier zu helfen, aber es ist gelaufen.

Tier != jemand

[proven eagle]

ook

[hot cloak]

your dog Milo can be he, but a random animal is always it, isn't it

[proven eagle]

ooh ok thanks.

[hot cloak]

jemand = a random person, tier != jemand

[hot cloak]

@opal sequoia want to study today? I don't know what can we do with English, cause I just want to learn grammar. But I have textbooks for german ^^

can I send you a friend request?

[opal sequoia]

Sure, feel free.

And sure, we can study. ❤

[hot cloak]

I will be home in 2 hours, is it ok?

[opal sequoia]

We might be able to study for a couple of hours then, before I have to sleep. Otherwise it might have to be tomorrow if you'll still be around then.

[hot cloak]

tomorrow suits me

[opal sequoia]

What are you up to today?

[hot cloak]

we can do only german today

[opal sequoia]

I'm fine with either. 😄

[hot cloak]

you can prove my texts and that's it ^^

[opal sequoia]

Prove?

[hot cloak]

ehhfuck

I don't know

[sudden panther]

Her text is "P != NP" and you have to prove it.

[hot cloak]

arrem shot op

[sudden panther]

fok fuxx

[hot cloak]

überprüfen

or you will have to teach me

[sudden panther]

check 😉

prove - beweisen

[twilit garden]

Problem = No Problem

Done

[sudden panther]

O shit. 😮

[hot cloak]

ok you will be my teacher

[sudden panther]

Write to whoever is giving out a million dollars for that proof and claim your money Nemo. 😄

[opal sequoia]

😄

[hot cloak]

actually I want to make some changes in discord. could you help me? I want to have a transparent white background under the text, because it's hard to read memes.

[opal sequoia]

Transparent white?

[hot cloak]

yes

so it should be white but I want to see the background pic

[opal sequoia]

Ohh.

Perhaps you can put the background pic into photoshop or whatever and put a white layer over it and then add it back into discord.

[hot cloak]

at least for messages

hmm it's a good idea actually

[pallid kelp]

@obsidian cipher i'll repost this here before our messages get deleted from #introductions

[sudden panther]

No worries. We have a "give people a chance to read the messages before deleting them" policy. So they'll stay for at least 3 days.

[hot cloak]

English is one of the easiest languages in the world when it comes to Grammar though, it's not just the fact that it's eveywhere (although it definitely helps)

[opal sequoia]

[ocean robin]

I kinda don't agree that much. Sure, English can seem easy to people, but that doesn't mean that nobody makes mistakes on it, because I saw a lot of people who were saying that it was easy and who were making silly mistakes such as "if I was" -> "if I were" and the difference between "to" and "too". So I just want to say that no language whatsoever is "easy" because each one has its tricks and its traps

[viscid cape]

Well put, my pupil

[ocean robin]

:)

Hey Krypti, by the way.

[viscid cape]

Greetings and well met, little fox.

[ocean robin]

^u^

[cold vessel]

Is "If I was" an actual mistake? Is using the subjunctive mandatory?

[ocean robin]

How are you?

Well, it is a mistake for me, but I kinda tolerate it more than "to" and "too".

.<

[sudden panther]

Technically yes, but nobody ever does it colloquially.

[lavish saddle]

If I was is technically wrong, but most people(even natives) say it consistently

Especially in spoken yeah, nobody likes using it in spoken

[ocean robin]

TIL. 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

i like using it 😦

[whole rapids]

I always use it in spoken.

[lavish saddle]

Don't get me wrong, some do (me)

[ocean robin]

Same

[pine ginkgo]

you don't like it flops

you just learned it

like two weeks ago

[ocean robin]

If I were?

[pine ginkgo]

yes

[sudden panther]

Go fetch some gold from under the rainbow, you smelly Horse. ❤

[ocean robin]

Nah, I knew it before.

[pine ginkgo]

so you lied to us

😦

[ocean robin]

no 😦

[pine ginkgo]

pretending to not know something

😦

[ocean robin]

what 🤔

[sudden panther]

Fun fact: I figured out that using the wrong stereotype fucks with people more than just using regular stereotypes. :^)

[viscid cape]

Kek.

Kellogs trolling us

[lavish saddle]

I usually do use it ^^

[ocean robin]

Well that is kinda understandable, Arrem.

[whole rapids]

I would if I could Arrem

[pine ginkgo]

pats flops

[ocean robin]

:o

[viscid cape]

I'm doing fine Floppo, how about yourself?

[pine ginkgo]

pretending to not know it to learn more about

deviant flops

[lavish saddle]

Daniel got after me for using it once and told me it was wrong

[pine ginkgo]

eh, never listen to daniel

[lavish saddle]

Ik

[pine ginkgo]

it's nearly as bad as listening to krypti for rekt

[ocean robin]

I am pretty good, except when I had to go outside when I wanted to do my homework ;w;

[viscid cape]

[sudden panther]

Fok Daniel, just tell him he sucks.

[lavish saddle]

But I kinda started using if I was more lately because of the amount of people getting confused with it quq

[ocean robin]

Krypti. Cookie to cheer up. 🍪

[sudden panther]

takes Krypti's cookie

Rekt

[viscid cape]

/🍪

[ocean robin]

NO

[sudden panther]

Too late Flops.

[ocean robin]

okay then, I'll slap you >:)

[sudden panther]

Feel free to. I could rek you irl m8.

[ocean robin]

that can be discussed but

[whole rapids]

I don't see how it is confusing. The "if" makes it obvious in all cases.

[ocean robin]

we'll see

[sudden panther]

Lol Flops.

[whole rapids]

Suppose you can say it without the"if" though.

[lavish saddle]

I was on an English server and said something with if I were

And like 10 non English natives were like wtf *was

And I was like ....no 😬

[whole rapids]

Well, too bad for them. :upside_down:

[lavish saddle]

Sadly not, just a hidden rule that nobody uses 😬

[pine ginkgo]

chriskun such a bad native :o

when did you sleep, chriskun?

[lavish saddle]

When did i....uhhh like 4-4:30

[ocean robin]

A guy in my class conjugated "ever". Dunno why he did that, but he sure said "evered" 🤔

[lavish saddle]

Hehe :D

[ocean robin]

I was confused this day. ;w;

[lavish saddle]

That sounds silly haha (x

I wish I could teach a class for people first learning English

It's probably really cute

[ocean robin]

Well, sometimes I see weird things in my class

[lavish saddle]

Yeah, that's normal though. Theyre still learning :3

[ocean robin]

as conjuating irregular verbs as if they were regular

:3

"drived" I will always remember this

[lavish saddle]

(even native kids make this mistake tho)

I worked at a daycare

[pine ginkgo]

don't worry, flops

[viscid cape]

I remember thinking memorising irregular verbs table was the stupidest and most boring thing ever

[pine ginkgo]

we also see weird things from you

:)

[lavish saddle]

MISS KELSEY MISS KELSEY, HE RUNNED

[viscid cape]

But that ended up being really helpful

[lavish saddle]

It's ran

[pine ginkgo]

yeah

well

the easiest way to memorize them is still to use them in a sentence

[lavish saddle]

MISS KELSEY MISS KELSEY, HE RAN

Good, now you have it right :)

Now I listen xD

[pine ginkgo]

some people are bad with remembering stuff from a table

[mellow mist]

Hallo humans

[pine ginkgo]

also it's pretty important to also pronounce words when you are learning

otherwise you will pronounce read read read all the same

:D

[cold vessel]

Hello fellow non-alien

[lavish saddle]

Oh God :(

[mellow mist]

Feels good to not be an alien!

[lavish saddle]

I feel sorry for a native learning about read and read

Lead and lead

They're spelled the same...why do they sound different!?!?

[cold vessel]

What's the third "read" 🤔

[pine ginkgo]

past participle

simple present, simple past, past participle

for most languages, that's all you need to learn

[cold vessel]

It's the same as the simple past, no?

[pine ginkgo]

yes

but you want to be consistent

you not gonna be "Nah, not gonna learn past participle for this one, cause it's the same as simple past"

you always learn simple present, simple past and past participle

for every fucking irregular verb

no exceptions

[lavish saddle]

😬

[cold vessel]

Maybe I should use the simple past more 🤔

I'm really only learning the participles atm

[lavish saddle]

I should learn some more verbs

[pine ginkgo]

uh

that's a really bad way of learning, henbri

[lavish saddle]

Wait wut

[pine ginkgo]

i hope you are not doing the same for german

[cold vessel]

I was talking about German 🤔

[lavish saddle]

😱

[pine ginkgo]

well

i hope you will stop with that

please remember

rennen, rannte/n, gerannt

:P

always

like this or similar

[lavish saddle]

When I first started out, they told us not to worry about learning the past tense for the verbs...big mistake

[cold vessel]

@pine ginkgo it's just that I'm bad at memorizing that without using it so if I never use preterite I forget the forms

[pine ginkgo]

so

[lavish saddle]

Then when we hit A2-2 they were like...now we learn some past tense

[pine ginkgo]

i mean it's alright if you don't use it

but you must know them

it's fine for A-B if you don't

but you have to know them going into C at the lastest

well it's easier if you start using the language

since at one point you can switch from "memorizing" to "intuitively guessing"

or "getting" it

it's not easy though anyway

but being able to derive a word's context and meaning is pretty nice later on

like i haven't actively learned new vocab since i left school

just passively accumulating them by interacting

[lavish saddle]

That's nice once you get to that point though, can't wait to be there with German ^u^

[pine ginkgo]

maybe next year, chriskun :P

[lavish saddle]

We'll see 😏

Plan is taking B2 next semester 🙃 should be more interesting than my B1class

[pine ginkgo]

didn't i tell you to take B2?

:p

[viscid cape]

Is B1 being too easy?

[lavish saddle]

I think so

I'm bored

[viscid cape]

Humm

[pine ginkgo]

never take languages classes "around" your level or below

you are there to learn

so it's good if you take some classes a bit above :)

[lavish saddle]

I know all of the grammar from it...I should have taken b2, but I wanted to make sure I was comfy with b1

I wasn't so sure

[viscid cape]

I'll have an exam in my first week there I'll let you guys know the result

[lavish saddle]

Now I'm sure TTuTT

[sudden panther]

Oooh we're gonna demote Krypti.

[lavish saddle]

I could have gone right to b2, but I need to practice more vocab from b1 anyways

[cold vessel]

I think the highest level German class at my uni is A2

[pine ginkgo]

for now, chriskun

as a student

[viscid cape]

Henbruas why are you still orange

[pine ginkgo]

if a course is "comfy" for you

it's the wrong class

[cold vessel]

Because I'm not B, duh

[viscid cape]

Why doesn't your uni have more options in German, isn't it popular in Vikingland?

[cold vessel]

🤷

I think you can do a bachelor in German but those classes probably aren't open to everyone

[viscid cape]

Humm

[cold vessel]

But I don't think German is very popular here, no

[lavish saddle]

Yeah :( it's the wrong class

I screwed up

[cold vessel]

It's not that common to take a language class in uni anyway

And the most popular 3rd language nowadays is probably Spanish

[lavish saddle]

But I was really nervous at the thought that if I took b2, the next semester, I'd be taking C1

It made me so nervous thinking that quq

So I decided to take b1 😦

[whole rapids]

Can't you switch?

[lavish saddle]

Nop

I paid for it already

and the classes for b2 were packed

plus by now, it wouldn't be worth switching, I have like one and a half months left and they also dont unlock the classes for you to take unless you have proof of being okay in that class

like a test

[cold vessel]

Maybe I should take the A1 class for an easy grade 😂

[lavish saddle]

I had to show them I was capable of being in b1 before they unlocked it for me

then the locked it up again because they thought I didn't have insurance TuT'

Then unlocked it again

[viscid cape]

We had a guy who had studied German for like 7 years take the A1 course because he needed the credits

[lavish saddle]

oh god o.O

[viscid cape]

And instead of being quiet, he'd just reply to everything the teacher asked the class

[whole rapids]

Lol that sucks. At least you get speaking practice.

[viscid cape]

Annoying as fokk

[lavish saddle]

why didnt he go up a class at least

like A2 is interesting and not that bad 🤔

[viscid cape]

He missed the proficiency exam

[lavish saddle]

wow

[viscid cape]

But yes do try B2 next year

[lavish saddle]

They told me that I can do the same

I can just jump into English

but it costs money, so it'd be a waste of money

[viscid cape]

Oh

Damn :v

Those would be some easy credits

[lavish saddle]

Yeah, it's like...Part of JKU and also not part of JKU

[cold vessel]

So I checked and there are higher level class open but they seem very linguistics or literature oriented. Not so much a practical language course

[lavish saddle]

at the same time

[viscid cape]

Who cares henbruas, the linguistic ones will surely be interesting

[lavish saddle]

I was looking into any way and every way that I could get some easy credits

[viscid cape]

what's JKU?

[lavish saddle]

my uni

[ocean robin]

[viscid cape]

Ahhh yes

🔫

[ocean robin]

😦

[lavish saddle]

I was all sure that I was going to take some easy credits like English until I realized that they cost money

but I can take any class from any field of study rn

[viscid cape]

Take frenchie classes

[ocean robin]

:O

[viscid cape]

Floppo will help you

[lavish saddle]

languages cost money

[ocean robin]

:3

[lavish saddle]

I would take another language class if it didnt

.<

I just said yolo and took some classes from my field of study haha

Next semester Im not taking any of it though

Im just taking a basic physics class, a math prep class, and German B2

[full falcon]

I would help but I'm a terrible teacher

[viscid cape]

@full falcon Duel @ocean robin

"So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays."

I think those rules really only apply to natives.

You can woo women with your accent, you don't need fancy words for that.

Dang that's what I thought, just clicked on anything with a car in it but I'd still fail it.

I find it hard to believe that there were no guiding results when searching for Pkw

did you search for Pkws or Pwks? 😛

You're not a disappointment 🤗

I decided to learn German, because I am German plus I started to like the language since unlike French says every letter in the word

[craggy herald]

I like how german sounds and I'm considering moving there. Also England kinda sucks
