@arctic atlas ich hab nicht verstanden, warum du 'sich' and 'er' in dieser folge geschrieben hast

Because I'm not really level C Monkey

@feral orchid 
I cant believe I watched syro make his first german mistake 😌
oh shit theres a second suzu

i hope theres not a suzu revolution like the broseiden thing
that's certainly not the first 👀
your power is too strong padawan
Doch, there have never been more suzu in the server before
Why did you become a Suzu though?
Oh now two fozzos
Ich verstehe zwar diesen Spruch
Aber ich verstehe ihn nicht
Es klingt nur wie Unsinn
Was mache ich nicht an jedem Ort? Es. Kein Ding. Nur Es.
Ich mach's nicht, frag mich nicht
Auf die Blumen scheißen...?
Es ist eine Karte
"es machen" bedeutet häufig Sex haben
lol
dann ist die richtige Antwort "doch"
Die richtige Antwort worauf?
"Ich mach's nicht an jedem Ort"
Ah
Hallo, möchest du chatten?
Jungs im amerikanischen Ich mag Deutsch, obwohl ich in Nordamerika bin
Gosh, a girl just took 12 whole minutes to print a ticket at the automat
There is no excuse for such things
Although she looks absolutely normal, three years ago, Sissi was in a car accident, which left her with a partially functioning brain. As a consequence she often deals with bouts of memory lapses, and at times muscle coordination is difficult. This makes ordinary day to day tasks challenging. The same accident killed her entire family save her mom, their pet cat and two puppies. As impaired as Sissi is, her mom's situation is even more devastating, leaving her bedridden with Sissi serving as her sole care taker.
^ And she thinks she can take 12 minutes at the automat with that backstory? Some pleople smh...
@frozen dirge smh my head smh shaking smh
uff wtf?
No excuse is good enough for 8 extra minutes
That's too many, sorry sissi, get your ass moving
Come on Sissi youre keeping the line up
What the hell is this conversation
^
A rant on sissi who's creating a queue, duh.
Smh Sissi still not done
Ich habe eine Prufung in vier Tage fur mein GCSEs. Kann eine Deutscher Sprecher helfen mir mit meine Schreiben? (
gib mir ein paar Sätze in Englisch, um ins Deutsche zu übersetzen) Schwierigkeit:
eine Person, die 1000 Wörter kennt
Ich brauche oft Google-Translate beim schreiben
uh, don't use that then
you're not really gonna learn if you don't know what mistakes you naturally make and need to corect
you're not gonna have it in the exam either
and luckily for you, GCSE is level B1 at best
Was ist eine "GCSE"?
hmm
(ich komme aus England)
Yeah, I could guess
Danke

Gott segne deutsche Sprache
@strong whale did the test again and this time i got ISFJ-A 👀
@thin hound meinst du " Gott segne ..."
@hot cloak ooh is this myers-briggs test?
Yeeee
my self cant decide what it is, i went from ISTJ to INTP to ISTP to ISFJ
i've done it multiple times and always get intp-t
myers-briggs is bs anyway
People at my ol HS be doing stupid shit and said "Oh its because im an ENTON" smh

that being said
i am in fact an ENTON
I feel like I have a personal feud with the myers briggs
its so useless
wieso lol
Its completely unscientific
none of the psychologists involved use it themselves
its just a trendy way to put yourself into a neat box
even tho people are more complicated than that
Like I am usually outgoing and like to do stuff with friends, but I often just need time to recharge and be alone for a while. According to the type indicator im still an E.
Theres no middle ground
"The research out there says that [the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator] doesn't predict behavior in a consistent way, and psychometrically, the way it's constructed, is pretty odd,"
Wait out psy teacher had a few nice ones
he also dislikes the Myers Briggs
"My first encounter with the scale was when a student presented it to me, and since it was so poorly constructed, I thought it was the student's work." lol
Thing is I cant remember the categorization my psy teacher liked to use
and he said that one is also really limited and broad
aw thats a pity
but still better than the MB
Do you know any aptitude test that can suggest some fitting jobs accurately enough?
no
The Austrian Bifie offers those
but its used for teenagers
to suggest job fields
we all had to do it
i think i have my results somewhere in my flat
how good is it?
quite good
since its not just one thing
Its partially about what you're good at, partially about what you generally prefer and also just a lot of information on what you can do.
when can i take the test?
It was called "Bildungskompass" when I took it
in austria?
That being said i took it when i was 14 i think
so its use might be limited when you are further ahead in life
oh rip i guess i wont be able to take it anymore
maybe the bifie offers something else aswell
so sad i wasnt born austrian 
ugh my test is in austria
yup
I remember being abysmal in creativity
the tell you the categories where you are in the top 5%
and suggest something that has something to do with that
I'm not 14 anymore and still I'm not sure who I wanna be when I grow up 🤷
same mami
Ppl ask me what ill be doing when im done with my masters and i cant even tell them what country ill be in
focusing only on bachelor rn and im not even sure if its what i wanna do rip
oof
i cant even say what masters i wanna do lol
chemistry 
I feel like not being sure about you major is just a thing that happens to everyone
no, i dont wanna do my masters in chemistry
like, sth chemistry related but not chemistry
if youre not sure that just means your brain is working
yeee
Biotechnology?
what about people that are sure then lol
Yesterday my gf asked me "Why dont you do physics? You seem much more into that." and I had an early midlifecrisis
damn
thats the thing tattie, im not... 
im like a shitty polymath
is your bachelor gonna have some breadth to it or is it kinda restricted?
i was referring to this tattie
if youre not sure that just means your brain is working
oh sure yeah
i think chem in vienna is somewhat flexible and well-rounded, thats why i wanna study there
if you're not sure -> brain is working
but being sure doesn't mean your brain isn't working 
ah that's cool
suzu I am not 100% sure myself but at least I know about chem so if theres anything I can help you with
here there are natural science courses which have a lot of breadth which is cool, don't they have smth similar there?
thank you mami, i really appreciate it 💓
What helped me personally was a book i can recommend to everyone called So Good They Can't Ignore You
by Cal Newport I think
What is it about?
ill add it to my to-read list, thanks
Its about how most people think they have some passion hidden inside them that they have to discover and then act upon
@fossil nova im not sure what you mean
I wish I discover it
i dont think ive ever felt passionate about anything...
I was mostly doing what's expected / considered good
i enjoy a lot of things but cant say its passion
But his argument is that the key to finding a job that makes you happy is not following your passion but offering the world something that is both sought after and that you are reasonably good at
he of course has a few more things to say
His thesis is that in his life he is seen that the one factor that consistently makes you happy is control over what you do
sounds like a good book tbh
it dont promise that this book solves everything
but it was a good start for me
and i like to think that my choices are better for it
thanks mami, ill make sure you wont even have to touch an onion in vienna 
For instance I have a deep passion for politics but I realized id be gargabe at it
It's difficult to find a job with pol sci, isn't it?
yeah, i was kinda interested in immunology and neuroscience but i dont wanna do research and i hate how biology is just memorizing so nah
I have two friends who chose to try to become politicians
theyre having a good time but the thing is they are good at what it takes
and i can see myself having been very unhappy if I had followed them
understandable
when will you pack
Friday
Have they found some posh job already? I'm not sure about Germany, but in most of the countries if you aren't daughter / son or other relative of some VIP it's difficult to get any good position
remind in 6 days remind mami to take the book
Alright @hot cloak, in 6 days: remind mami to take the book
Has already had an internship for the most important austrian MEPs
since hes known him for a couple of years now
whats mep?
Wow! It's the skill I'm missing
Member of European Parliament
When he was part of an event we were planning he made sure that the NÖ Landeshauptfrau (like a Governour for US folk) would attend
This guy is everywhere at once
I'd pray on him
holly molly
(cries in the corner)
I dont necessarily agree with him politically but I like how he isnt full of himself and really tries to stick with his old HS friends while also being extremely busy
btw, when I have ordered that book on Amazon there were some suggestions ofc and there was something like netwrking for introverts, but I have no idea how good is it
But he perhaps is what youd call posh
Hes the Son of a Doctor and was raised in the rich suburbs of Vienna
I know this is really chliche but I really liked "How to win friends and influence people"
the Son of a Doctor sounds like a movie title lol
oh stupid capitalization
you seem to read a lot of self development books
not really lol
just these two? hahah
looking at my bookshelf rn
with books i found important enough to take with me
So good is the only one
I recommend How to win etc as an audiobook
how come?
I meant not being posh, rather getting a really good job. I know 2 people who have studied something related to politics and one girl really wanted to help people out and other guy is like living wikipedia. Both are stuck with internships and low paid jobs in expensive cities
i dunno it seemed filled with a bit of redundancy
and it should only be a start
also disclaimer im maybe also posh
2-3 years is a long start
Like I grew up in the same area lol
My posh is being an achiever
what effects does it have if youre posh mami lol
regardless of the background
i think you understand the word posh differently, gi 
Anyway a bit of self improvement via books cant hurt
and So good is not exactly long
Yeah posh for me is more about what you were given without any work on your end
not necessarily negative but it is a head start
Mamimus, could you think of any other books? beside Cornegi and So good? Since the beginning of the year I'm trying to improve
hmh im no authority on the matter
But in the area of general improvement I think there is no better book than Getting Things Done
No drinking, smoking, cutting of sugar, studying more, German after all. Now I need some other habits and goals
Thanks
GTD can be a lifechanger for some
Others find it stupid but I think it is really good even if Allen may sound a bit pretentious at times
@thin hound i would suggest getting it done one by one tho
having a lot on plate is never good
any one of you have any general book recommendations?
I mean I have enough unread books that shame me every day but still
leider nicht, i havent read anything for years now...
I've done it. I'm not alcoholic or something, don't get me wrong. Just I've decided not to drink at all and party less and study more as a new year resolution
And atm I stick to the plan
Ugh i realized I have at least 7 books in my reading list
lol
i find books about 4 times as fast as I read them
What genres?
well its the last 3 books of the asoiaf series and then a bunch of history books
G. Martin?
yeah grrm
Oh I'll read after the great final
I have too much GoT stuff please help
when ppl visit i hide some stuff so my bookshelf isnt 70% game of thrones
Anyway I can definitely give you the book if you want and if i dont forget it @hot cloak
If they share your interests, why not?
I still have my HP stuff even if it's kinda childish
@peak burrow id love that, thanks a lot mami!! 😻 ill make sure to remind you
Oh, ok we've binge watched all the seasons before the final
ill go learn french now, thanks for a nice chat guys
👋🏼
Au revoir

Is that a good thing?
i guess..... he is verified and stuff
upto you if you consider it a good thing..
imagine if that person is on this server too....... a legend might be walking among us.
he is a professional speaker

Hallo
Hey Fr3und
anyone saw the latest rammstein music video?
yupp ^^
I want too badly to go to a Rammstein live show
Sadly that won't happen anytime soon
:(
how come?
there was this video easy german made about rammstein....... and it seems like even though everyone knows about them.... noone actually listens to them in germany....
seems like most of their fans are abroad and listen to them for the exagerrated german sounds
I live in south America :p
And also, don't have the money to go to a concert abroad
Yeah Monkey, I wonder what native germans think about the band
same but concerts are damn expensive even when they happen in my country
i don't think it's true that nobody listens to them in germany
^
jsut because the people walking around on the street that day didn't listen to them doesnt mean they aren't popular :')
ofc it's the first band that comes to mind if you talk about german bands with ausländer
maybe max like 10 people
within germany people will know more
right, that's a sample size of how many people?
selected how?
over how many total germans?
yah yah i was jus telling what it seems from the vid..... the case might be different. who knows

@nocturne frost
I’m trying to register Rwth aachen’s online application system, after registering it said that a confirmation mail will be sent in order to access the system about 30 min ago but there isn’t any, is it normal, I mean should I wait more? Or mail them? Have you experienced something like this? @regal lantern

Although I'd say give it up to a day to come through
Sometimes emails are slow OwO
@pallid kindle bachelors oder Master?
@pallid kindle No I have not but it seems rather strange, because our online systems work pretty consistently all the time. if i were you, i would write them an email or maybe check your spam folder?
Yea already checked, will send an email tomorrow, cheers
what are you applying for?
if you need any tips for moving to Aachen, feel free to pm me ❤
Allegmein? Was buedet das?
dict.cc | Übersetzungen für 'allgemein' im Englisch-Deutsch-Wörterbuch, mit echten Sprachaufnahmen, Illustrationen, Beugungsformen, ...
Danke
@grizzled perch Hey, I just wanted to let you know, since I think maybe you weren't aware of this yet, but in #german-only you're only allowed to use German. No English at all is allowed there, even if you are a beginner.
Allgemein means all languages?
no, its just german for 'general'
Ok
But not the military one
@opal sequoia Darf man nicht seinen Satz erklären, wenn die andere nicht versteht? Muss man es dann auf Deutsch erklären?
@fringe tartan Genau. Ein paar Wörter zu übersetzen ist in Ordnung, aber du solltest es so schreiben, als ob du mit jemandem sprichst, der nur Deutsch spricht. Ergibt das Sinn?
Und natürlich ist es besser dict.cc oder so zu benutzen, statt #german-only mit Englisch zu stören, wenn du ein Wort nicht kennst.
Alles ist in Ordnung, aber meinst du etwas wie verstehen bedeutet "understand" z.B?
Mit > du solltest es so schreiben, als ob du mit jemandem sprichst, der nur Deutsch spricht
@fringe tartan Sure, basically that. I meant it basically as a guideline to say, as a rule of thumb, if you write as if you're talking to someone who only speaks German, that gives you a good idea of the flexibility of using English in the channel.
Gut, danke
Alles macht Sinn, aber man muss sich sicher machen, so dass man nicht Fehler macht. :D
Stimmt.
@pallid kelp @whole rapids @opal sequoia Just a little update on the thing we had discussed earlier about the verb order when there are two modal verbs in a subclause. Here's what a person in Stackexchange replied (PS: what they refer to as example 1 and 2 are Ich bin der Meinung, dass du diese Aufgabe solltest vollziehen können and Ich bin der Meinung, dass du diese Aufgabe vollziehen können solltest. respectively.)
Das ist so, weil das konjugierte Verb ein Modalverb ist. Wäre das konjugierte Verb eine Form von "haben" oder "werden", wäre das erste Beispiel richtig. Es kann aber kein konjugiertes Modalverb in den drittletzten Platz eines Nebensatzes kommen.
Weitere Beispiele: "Er meinte, dass er das Auto erst letzte Woche hätte reparieren lassen können".
Das konjugierte Hilfsverb kommt vor die anderen Verben.
"Er meinte, dass er das Auto erst nächste Woche reparieren lassen könne".
Das konjugierte Modalverb kommt ans Ende.
"Sie fragt, ob du dir schon lange die Haare hast schneiden lassen wollen".
"Sie fragt, ob du dir schon lange die Haare schneiden lassen wolltest".```
So Base and the natives were correct in the end
And berzi too
Thanks for the update
My god, exceptions within exceptions
Why does it matter if it's a modal verb?
Thanks tho
I've no idea why it matters 🤷 He doesn't quote any source though, it's just the most voted reply. But it appears to be reliable 🤷
@viscid cape link to the question pls
In my experience, haben is just always like that.
Like I just have an inate association with haben for being an exception in word order.
there's not much to remember really, it just sounds kinda like shit when you do it the other way @fossil nova
sure
I'm confused. if it applies to all modal verbs, then is that really an exception?
Not really but in some sense yes.
Since the general rule is that in a subordinate clause, the conjugated verb is at the end. So of course the different placement of auxiliaries when constructing double infinitive (which is an exception in itself) is an exception to that general rule of conjugated verb at end.
i wouldn't it regard it as an exception, just a special rule for a particular scope
it often happens that the more specific a scope is, the higher priority its rules get
@pallid kelp Yeah but those are two different meanings of the word exception.
I usually view exceptions as something that doesn't have a general rule to go along with it. like if only a couple modal verbs acted like that, it'd be an exception. but I can see how some view it like that I guess
though I prefer viewing that as just more rules than more exceptions
You can consider it a rule which is an exception to a more common rule.
@opal sequoia imo, not quite. Exception may include something that only happens in one particular case, and is in other words irregular. A special rule has specific conditions, but is a rule nonetheless, and thus regular by definition
tomato tomato
I mean, you guys are the ones nitpicking something for no reason here. It's pretty obvious what is meant, so I should be the one saying "tomato tomato" in this context.
I was at first just wondering if I was missing something and it only applied to a couple
thus wondering if it was really an exception
easy, i'm nto that invested in this one :D
anywho
Yes, that's why I explained what was meant by that. @solemn jungle
And hopefully the explanation clarified your question.
it did, thanks
I think you are confusing "exception" and "irregularity" anyway. A rule can still be an exception. @pallid kelp
I guess. though if I viewed all subrules as strange exceptions to learn, I'd go insane 😅 but that's just me, thus tomato tomato
||I mean sure, but Dany is all about the rightful heir thing, so it'd be poetic justice in a way?|| - GOT
||yeah you have a point there||
||i honestly don't believe Jon will want to be the king. I think he'd rather hand it to dany||
||which is why Jon is best king||
||fair point||
||I just wish they scrapped the bloodline stuff||
||since that takes away from what I'd like to be the message lol||
||but too late now||
||the series sucks, - change my mind||
||no one significant died the last ep||
||id be okay with that Arya killed the NK IF Viserion/the NK killed Jon/or and Dany died in the battlefield||
||then it all would make sense||
||the series sucks yeah, but they did have to leave Jon and Dany alive for the ensuing throne battle afterwards|| - GOT spoilers
||is this spoiler chat?||
||it's just so that were not spamming main chat, but we still have to use spoiler tags||
||oh||
||otherwise it's literally, episode 2: oh no, Jon has a bigger claim to the throne than me. whatever shall we do? episode 3: (if one of them dies) well, I guess that's solved.|| GOT
@magic marlin
||both dying would be perfectly fine though. then Arya kills Cerci and Sansa becomes Queen||
@magic marlin ||if all the main characters die what do they have left for the rest of the season?||
||they didn't say all. though I'm fine with every character dying except Arya and Cerci, and then Arya goes on an undercover mission for like 3 episodes to defeat her||
@wet garnet
lmao
||and of course Jamie dies before Arya can steal his face. otherwise it'd be too easy||
||jamie deserves forgiveness||
||Jamie sacrifices self to let Arya steal his face and win when?||
||did jamie actually live lol||
||I don't know, I wasn't paying attention xD||
||hark is bik pea man||
||wtf||
||spoilers are not a lifestyle||
this irks me
<Show was bad>
@wet garnet ||the best thing about GOT was that it had multiple main heroes, it wasn't just one good guy and his gf fighting against some cartoonish evil lady. Good guys are mortal, bad guys are mortal, life goes on. you make a stupid decision, you fooken ded and that was the point. I don't wanna watch this forced conflict sansa Vs Dany or Dany and Jon Vs cersey :/ it's just stupid imo||
uhhh there's plenty of shows that exhibit that pattern 👀
Yeah.
Are there that many fantasy shows anyway
no
If got is the only one then no shit it takes the cake
so what was your point then
So I assumed you were talking about plots in general
@strange lily bunbun, how busy are you? 👀

Big agree @magic marlin
Hallo Leute, ich brauche ein/eine deutsche mit wem ich deutsch sprechen kann um meine Sprache zu über, ich wäre Ihnen sehr dankbar wenn jemanden mir helfen könnte
@reef widget PN
Bipi, der amerikanische Bär, fährt oft nach Deutschland. Sein Vater wohnt in Deutschland, und Bipi fährt hin, um ihn zu besuchen. Aber dieses Jahr ist Bipi noch nicht Deutschland gewesen, und hat seinen Vater noch nicht gesehen.
Derzeit wohnt Bipi mit seiner Mutter in Amerika, in der Stadt Austin. Jeden Tag isst (nicht frisst! sagt Bipi) er viel Grillfleisch mit einer kleinen Gabel, weil er noch ein kleiner Bär ist.
Seine Mutter ist immer wütend auf ihn und das macht ihm Angst.
"Bipi", sagt sie beim Frühstück, "warum nimmst du dir so lange Zeit beim Essen? Ich muss schnell zur Arbeit. Kannst du dein Frühstück nicht schneller essen?"
"Ich habe nur diesen kleinen Löffel," antwortet Bipi mit traurigen Augen. "Damit kann ich nur wenige Cornflakes essen. Außerdem ist mein Mund sehr sehr klein. Ich kann also nicht schneller essen machen."
"Werde nicht Frech" schreint seine Mutter. "Ich gebe dir noch fünf Minuten. “Wenn du nicht alles essen kannst, dann schade für dich. Egal, gehen wir. Das Leben kann nicht auf dich warten."
Bipi isst so schnell wie er kann. Aber fünf Minuten später hat er nur ein Drittel gegessen. "Und ich habe noch Hunger", sagt er sich. "Was soll ich jetzt tun? Mutti wird bald kommen".
Ich versteckte Schokolade in Bros Essen. Er aß es und starb sofort. Dann zeigte sich seine wahre Form. Es stellte sich heraus, dass sein Grund für den Hass auf Schokolade darin bestand, dass er von einer außerirdischen Spezies kommt, die gegen diese Substanz tödlich allergisch ist. Er tat einfach so, als würde er es hassen, um nicht entdeckt zu werden.
11/10
Plot twist ❤
I mean, Er aß es und starb sofort. is the most beautiful sentence I've ever heard
👀
Ich liebe dein Deutsch <3
Die arme Brochen
Zu viel Wörter, sicher wird er nicht lesen
Wie soll Bro das lesen, wenn er an Schokolade verreckt ist?
Man muss aber sagen, dass Bro der beste Freund ist, den man sich nur wünschen kann. 💚
Er würde einem nie die Schokolade wegfuttern

Es wirst so leicht sollen

Hallo
who all starting ramadan in a few days?
how many hours does the fast last in your country?
u can calculate yourself..... if you know when the sunrises and sets
and its almost for 15 for me too
lol
yah
why are they different btw?
meanwhile, im just slowing
thats cuz u r a noob
yah its easy af....... you should allow yoourself to drink water though
that would be boring tho
take her out to a restaurant instead
and eat some nice stuffs
while she can watch
:)
yah sebi he will go bankrupt if he took her out all 30 days
oh yah btw my mom used to tell thats a sin lol
to tease a fellow faster like that
cuz i used to do that shit to my dad
going to restaurants without eating is a sin?
ah
with food
lol
while they r struggling
most people dont mind at all though
even i dont.
in dubai though if someone is seen eating outside you get fined
yah i bet like 95 percent dont care at all if someones eating in front of them
Isnt that the point anyway, understanding poor people?
oh btw why are her prayer times a bit different?
@pallid kindle yah i think thats one of the reasons
its the same for me too.
do you mind if i ask what sect of islam?
oh lol no worris
btw u guys in middle east?
cuz even i have around 15 hrs
ohh
well if the weathers good..... ramadan will be over in a blink
hot af but we got AC's everywhere
Dubai has Ac's everywhere..
if you have cash then yahh....
city is mad expensive.......
but is huge af too so its got its cheap and expensive parts
but yah you need loads of cash to do the fun stuff
yahh thats true...... a trip on the metro itself you will bump into like 10 different nationalities
and also the population of expats is many times greater than the national population
thats becoz theres no voting....... i think one of the main worries in those countries is........ if the number of expacts increasess..... the people worry exapts will vote for parties supporting more expats
UAE isnt a democracy
thats the only reason i am aware that people dont like outsiders......and that outsiders stealing jobs....
btw i am not supporting their views or anything...... jus telling what are the reasons ppl hate outsiders
and also people are afraid of loosing their culture or somethingg
to new cultures replacing theirs
by the outsiders...
yeah.... but here too you never feel like arab culture is missing or getting diminished
but i get the worry
yah true...
potat afaik theres tonns of expats in Uk right?
idk lol
i defff know theres tonns of indians ateast there
i remember you mentioning a hindi word that u had picked up too
kaise ho or something lol
yes lmfao
Has anyone here done the german AP test?

a friend who knew a guy who knew a guy who took it told me @hot cloak
Ok
I took a practice test because the actual test is next week
And I felt like almost every multiple choice question had at least one word I didn't know that felt important
And I was curious if that's the same for most people or if I'm considerably behind on vocab
that's how i feel whenever reading something in German at all :'(
Yeah me too tbh
I'm not trying to judge my level
I just want to know ahead if I have any chance of doing well on the test or if everyone else taking it can read perfectly what they're saying etc.
if you're at about that level, you' probably will not fare well in this test with vocabulary and all tha
that*
it would most likely be best for you to know what you're reading and being asked to talk about on the talking portion
over here, my friend said they asked him a whole lot of weird questions
he actually had to monologue about the effects of global warming on like, porcupines, auf deutsch, for 3 minutes or something
Yeah
The speaking portion I'm doing fine at
I expect that to be far higher scoring than the MC
But some of the vocab on the MC was just hella obscure yk?
yeah, that's what i've heard
so i think it's normal (?)
that's cool though that you gonna take it, good luck
thank you!
Awesome! Good luck!
i got long ways to go but thank you
😃
I've now seen it all: Paternoster-Führerschein https://www.ndr.de/fernsehen/sendungen/extra_3/extradrei647.html
I have one, lol
Absolutely
so I've decided to finish the Duolingo German tree, compare the words to Goethe's vocab lists, and then compare both to duden's frequency ratings for each word
duolingo has finally been changed to get you to A1, but I wonder how much nonsense (for that level) there is still lol
Maybe I should do it so I can get to A1.
do it. remember to wear earmuffs though
or you can wait for my intriguing research to be finished
the time people spend on one tree makes me sad though
'2 years on x!' you spent two years to get to/reinforce level A1?
I would instead do Anki Duolingo stack for vocab @solemn jungle
Thanks for reminding me to do Anki today :D
And there's this deck called "words by frequency" or something as well — with 4000+ words
Anki is a goodness
A very clear explanation on how to pronounce "R" sound in French, German & Portuguese. Visit our Website...................►https://www.mimicmethod.com Follo...
@solemn jungle
Better r video I think.
yes but anki doesn't have an owl and it's not a meme
duolingo is for when I can't be bothered to do actual study
Anki can do non bothering study too
except I don't like anki
Have you tried Lingvist? @solemn jungle
if I want to do actual study, I'd do my sentence method. and no
'Native-sounding virtual voice' lol
native sounding or virtual. pick one
Yeah I used without sound😄
well that was motivating, @pallid kindle 😃
I haven't even been studying German much and I got what felt like 100 answers correct in a row
probably pretty accurate :)
yeah, this is more fun than the Duolingo meme, lol. danke schön
the voice isn't terrible tbh but yeah. fortunately lingvist has a disable audio feature. you hear that, Duolingo?
this is so weird though, going through new words so rapidly and most are like Dutch with different spellings xD
oplossing Lösung
etc
lol at the only course focus available
what app is that
@solemn jungle
oh
i searched lingvist in play store but it always just says "Englisch lernen"
doesnt mention any other languages or anything
Yep, German only has learning English, English has German, French, Spanish and Russian
rip
not for me then
its kinda sad
there are tons of language learning apps
but only a few of them have greek
rip
Ohh, Greek. Fun language.
ye
taps app in play store
checks description
Lernen Sie Spanisch, Englisch, Deutsch, Portugiesisch, Französisch, Hindi, Russisch, Türkisch, Chinesisch, Arabisch, Italienisch und Japanisch, indem Sie Text nebeneinander lesen!
> feelsbadman
thats basically my life
I mean, to be fair, it doesn't even have Niederländisch
but I get your point in general
I didn't use apps for Dutch
but lingvist is kinda fun
:(
especially since I can breeze through the words
Hindi 👀 What app is that
Greek would be less fun because it's hard
beelinguapp
Ah, thanks
greek vocab is hard because its nothing like any other language
and not everything is used as scientific term
okay, lingvist, this is enough
I won't know when to stop unless you tell me. lass mich damit stoppen, bitte
🤔
lol
you know you've dug too tief when you get to 'editorial office'
no
bureau is büro, but editorial office is something else
google says "συντακτικό προσωπικό" 🤔
apparently Redaktion
lol
since it's fun, but not worth learning bad German over
lol
like some people like Glossica (sp?) despite the errors but I'm like, 'why?'
whats glossica
but yeah, so far it's proving to be a pretty good kickstarter for my German. and this sentence based method iirc
but for lots of languages, some of the sentences are incorrect
yet people still swear by glossika knowing that
i use an app that lets you fill in words similar to your last screenshot, called clozemaster
it seems pretty accurate
idek their sorces lol
it's a public sentence database
sources
which people can add to
ah
it existed before clozemaster, they just make use of it
i feel like greek is irrelevant enough to not get tons of fake sentences
but yeah, this repeats sentences so I'm betting they're hand crafted, or at least hand selected
lingvist
but who knows
🤷
I didn't really like Clovemaster
Yup, that's fair, lol
this is kinda ridiculous
I'm literally guessing at this point and using autocorrect and German spelling
lol
like in Dutch, fast is snel. I'm like, well it's probably sch then nel and autocorrect gives the two ls
yup
dat 85+% lexical similarity (iirc)
is snel pronounced with a long or a short e?
short.
then maybe you can use that as indicator
That's my plan with Dutch to German it
ah, so that's what determines the consonants
I was wondering
danke schön
in Dutch it's if a syllable ends in a consonant, the vowel is short, unless you double the vowel
so kaas, the a is long, even though it ends on a consonant because it's doubled
but in kat it's short
and ahk, good to know
😤
anyway, brb after a bit
@pallid kindle I try to sent you the link in dm's but it's not allowing me to sent the message.
back. and back to lingvist. someone stop me
xD
200 new words and 88% correct rate now
with 300 cards
was hast du getan? @pallid kindle
oh gosh 😊 if you say it like that, I'll just have to continue
xD
Du übertreibst
Dunna why, sent a friend request maybe thats the problem @storm prairie
After stopping doing it like a month this is what happens :( didnt continue afterwards xd @solemn jungle
the number of reviews you screenshotted or going through it like crazy? @pallid kindle
lol
I wish there was a way to just stick to reviews
Dw after some time you mostly do reviews before new words @solemn jungle
okay, gut. and yeah, I noticed. I guess I'll just stop once it gives me a new word
oder es wird nicht mehr so einfach bleiben
the grammar tips are nice to read when I want more German but don't want more words
@dreamy mantle hast du vielleicht den Film 'Lola Rennt' gesehen? Suzu hat mir gesagt, dass du dich für Filme interessierst lol
und it's definitely a classic
I really don't watch a lot of german films
but since Moritz Bleibtreu is in it I will give it a shot
@solemn jungle What is this app in the image you have sent?
Lingvist. I just started trying it out yesterday @frail prairie
it's got some paid features but the free stuff looks good enough for me
it's got generated audio so i just selected the option in the app to disable it
wow, It seems really good
only thing I don't like as much is it doesn't emphasize the gender of new words when you learn them, so sometimes you can't tell even with cases
oh, nevermind xD
I just noticed the little pictures in the bottom left
die kleinen Menschen
Anyone heard of Blind Guardian?
...who hasn't heard of blind guardian
Well, shit, I'm from halfway across the world, no one knows them here in Canada!
I havent
Oh, that makes me feel slightly better 😂
German power turned symphonic metal group. My favourite band.
Though I've been obsessed with Demons and Wizards.
ever tried Eluveitie?
Never heard of 'em, are they good?
Also, soon you'll probably turn out to be my on-the-spot editor, with how often I make mistakes in German 😂 @pallid kelp
they good, ye
✝
@silver shore Let‘s not post memes like the last one in #german-only
Please keep them appropriate
I don’t really see how that was inappropriate or anything tbh
yeah i learned a word from that meme
But isn't während a subordinate conjunction?
If you wanna look at ww2 memes you can use google
This is not the place for this kind of stuff @summer stump
The whole sentence was flawed
Yeah, but my german isn't good enough to spot that ;-;
Only the basics from my part :(
Gibt es einen Memekanal?(natürlich kein ww2)
Oder wo soll/kann man memes schicken?
Nicht #general-2, wenn es auf Deutsch ist?
Meh, man lebt nur einmal
Und das ist eine gute Meme
Aber jetzt ist die Frage nur, ob ich gebannt werden werde
@fringe tartan We prefer for people to generally not post many memes in any channel. If you see one and you think it's pretty useful for learners, it's fine to post it, and #archived-media is a good place for that.
Sorry to reply in English btw. My brain is a bit fried right now because I'm sick. 😄
Understandable. Would an all german meme be considered helpful?
Like, would you rate the meme I send helpful?
Sure. If it's grammatically correct and an interesting and appropriate subject matter, I think it's fine. 😄
aw base gute besserung
Yay, I'll post them in #archived-media from now on
ah das sucks
Herr gott @opal sequoia is such a normie
Leave base in peace
such a normie smh
Oh no, he left the server. 😔
that was some drive-by
can you still ban him ? 
🚗 base is a normie!
🍃
🍃 is called "leaves" and depicts a single leaf.
🍂 is called "fallen leaf" and depicts two leaves.
I am confused and angry.
@opal sequoia haha normie
😔
@fringe tartan It sounds really nice. The inventory of sounds in immense. Not sure about the grammar and stuff.
I would worry about having enough resources to learn it.
Fixed what kind of stuff?
You mean like there would be a lot of books for learning icelandic via swedish?
Is it related to the nordic languages?
Yes
I listened to the number system, and it's not far from dutch
We have like a political entity for this
