[tidal seal]

hello folks!

is there anyone from Justus Liebig university?

I enrolled for the VIP program and I am curious about when the classes will begin and where I can see the time they'll start.

[sharp lantern]

have you looked at their homepage? maybe you can find some info there

https://www.uni-giessen.de/international-pages/vip
https://www.uni-giessen.de/ueber-uns/pressestelle/pm/pm115-20virtuellesaustauschprogramm

i'm pretty sure you can contact them as well

[teal shard]

Wie kann Ich sagen“As much time as possible”

[formal ember]

So schnell wie möglich.

[midnight coral]

Das wäre doch genau das Gegenteil davon.

as much time as possible = so viel Zeit wie möglich

[formal ember]

ich dachte wegen as much as possible

[wind kite]

Hallo ich bon neu

Ich bin neu da

[wraith talon]

Cool

General 2 ist am besten

[sharp lantern]

da hast du Recht

General 2

[tidal seal]

thanks aldie.

I already took a look while enrolling there but I still have some doubts about the proccess.

I'll send them an email asking those questions that still lingers around :-)

[atomic dove]

does that mean "general 2 is the best"?

[slow lodge]

hallo ich bin auch neu da

[hot cloak]

hi

[rapid copper]

hi

[atomic dove]

wait so would "the" be "am" in german?

[opal sequoia]

No.

[atomic dove]

what is "the" in german then

is "am" like a sentence filler in german?

[potent anvil]

The in German can be der, die, das, den, dem, depending on the sentence

[atomic dove]

wdym

[atomic dove]

these sentence fillers?

[potent anvil]

Every German word has a gender or neutral

[atomic dove]

like latin or spanish?

like feminine masculine neuter?

[potent anvil]

Depending on what it is, you use "the" accordingly

[potent anvil]

Yeah

[atomic dove]

so for example

what would be the suffix of a word making it fem

like mutter iirc thats how you spell mother in german

would "er" ending make it feminine?

[potent anvil]

The word frau is feminine so you'd say "die frau"

[fringe tartan]

neuter is a gender

[potent anvil]

Mann is masculine so, der mann

[atomic dove]

so do you just gotta remember what word is what gender wise or is there a way to decypher wether its mas fem or neu

[fringe tartan]

You have to remember. There are patterns though

But they don't always work

but like, -ung, -heit, -keit = feminine

[atomic dove]

so like if a verd or noun is a ocupation is it masculine like in latin?

verb*

[fringe tartan]

if a verb is an occupation, the verb is masculine?

🤔

Verbs don't have gender

[atomic dove]

meant to say noun

sorry

[fringe tartan]

But to answer that, pretty much yeah

[atomic dove]

gotcha

so is there declentions in german?

[fringe tartan]

Lehrer = masculine
Lehrerin = feminine

-in makes in female

[atomic dove]

so any word ending in "in" is fem?

gotcha

[fringe tartan]

well, for occupations

[atomic dove]

i see

[fringe tartan]

Not as a general rule

[atomic dove]

so in general

[fringe tartan]

it's like actress vs actor

[atomic dove]

what makes a noun fem

[fringe tartan]

Dunno

Or you mean how you can see it?

[atomic dove]

sorry if i sound like a idiot im just tryna learn german but i dont have access to the recources to actuyally learn it as in school etc... rn bc covid

[fringe tartan]

You can see that a word is feminine by the articles and the declension

die Frau = the woman
der Mann = the man

[atomic dove]

usually i would try to learn first then visit germany to help further improve my language but covid said yea no lol

[atomic dove]

would der be used in any sentence with a masculine noun?

[fringe tartan]

Depending on case, but pretty much yeah

[potent anvil]

You could try looking in #resources for additional information too

[fringe tartan]

Der Mann
Ich sehe den Mann
Ich verzeihe dem Mann

[atomic dove]

so what can i use as of right now to help myself learn german?

[fringe tartan]

probably some resource there

[atomic dove]

like what can i use to help myself improve vocabulary and grammar?

[potent anvil]

If you're completely new to it, Duolingo could help with familiarizing words and sentences

[atomic dove]

alrighty

now ik this sounds stupid but

would me knowing latin help at all?

[midnight coral]

Only insofar as you're already aware that cases are a thing, I guess?

[potent anvil]

Hm, I'm not sure since German isn't a romance language

[atomic dove]

gotcha

bc if i can help relate german to latin it would help me as im fluent in latin japanese and english

[atomic dove]

yes

im aware of gender case that basic stuff

[midnight coral]

German does have articles though, unlike Latin, which complicates things somewhat.

[atomic dove]

okay

would it help me as a start to learn dutch then german?

[fringe tartan]

What does Latin do instead?

[midnight coral]

Well, only as far as the vocabulary is concerned, but Dutch grammar is much simpler than German grammar.

[atomic dove]

okay

[midnight coral]

It doesn't use articles, just like most Slavic languages don't use articles.

[atomic dove]

would knowing icelandic help

[midnight coral]

Wouldn't it be easier to invest all that time into just learning German instead?

[atomic dove]

no i speak icelandic

[fringe tartan]

How does it differentiate between definite and indefinite?

[atomic dove]

kinda 50/50

[midnight coral]

Yeah, I guess it does, since you have exactly the same four cases. They may work somewhat differently in Icelandic, though.

[fringe tartan]

Uh, Icelandic is Germanic so maybe

[atomic dove]

what i mean is like do any of these languages relate because thats hot i helped myself learn some languages by relating them to others to help remember things

[midnight coral]

Yeah, Icelandic is more closely related to German than Latin is.

[atomic dove]

ok thank you

so i should just run duolingo for a few months for now before actually like trying to speak it?

[midnight coral]

Duolingo has its limits, but I guess it can't hurt to use it if you're just starting out.

[atomic dove]

gotcha

ill use duolingo for now then and advance myself in some way later

thank you for the suggestions and help guys :)

appreciate it

[potent anvil]

Good luck

[atomic dove]

ty

ok do you pronounce thw "w" as a "v"?

[midnight coral]

Yes.

[atomic dove]

ahh

that makes more sense

and i assume v is just v

[midnight coral]

Most of the time it's pronounced as "f", actually.

"Vogel" (bird) is pronounced as "Fogel".

Same with "Vater" (father).

[atomic dove]

gotcha ok

thank you

[midnight coral]

Also, I should tell you that as a German native, Icelandic is not all that intelligible to me, especially compared to Swedish or Danish, so I don't know how much your knowledge of Icelandic will actually help you with learning German as far as vocabulary is concerned.

[atomic dove]

yea vocab in my opinion is practice but grammar similarities does help me learn languages

idk why but it helps me

[midnight coral]

There will always be some similarities though, such as Icelandic "faðir", compared to English "father" and German "Vater". You can see that they're all related.

[atomic dove]

yea i mean in grammar tho

ive heard german is hard to learn if yoyure a native english person

[midnight coral]

Does Icelandic use articles, by the way?

[atomic dove]

thats why im tryna use as many resources as i can rn

[atomic dove]

definitite articles declentions

[fringe tartan]

Did you answer this Raven?

[atomic dove]

i botched that spelling bro

they dont use indefinite articles tho

like a or an

[midnight coral]

Hmm, all right. In German, both the definite and indefinite articles can be declined (put into cases).

[atomic dove]

iirc it is added to the end of the word in icelandic

[fringe tartan]

indeed

[atomic dove]

like this

[midnight coral]

That's common for North Germanic languages.

[atomic dove]

gotta doenload the language on my pc rq

ok so like in icelandic instead of saying "are you a penguin?" in english. you would say "ertu mörgæs?" in icelandic if i recall

i may have used the wrong word

[midnight coral]

"Bist du ein Pinguin?" in German.

I can already see similarities, such as the verb coming first.

[atomic dove]

yes

but the wods like a as well as an are not individual words in icelandic

you would add them to the end of the noun

[midnight coral]

Yes.

[fringe tartan]

yes

[atomic dove]

im a idiot

[fringe tartan]

but no pronoun?

Only the verb?

[atomic dove]

wdym

[fringe tartan]

Ertu looks like are you, but as one word

[atomic dove]

yes

you dont use a as etc... in incelandic

no indefinite articles are used

[midnight coral]

And the definite article is appended to the end of the noun, whereas in German it comes before the noun as a separate word, just like in English.

[atomic dove]

correct

[midnight coral]

Sástu húsið? (Did you see the house)
Sahst du das Haus? (literally)
Hast du das Haus gesehen? (more common)

[atomic dove]

the one thing that i do mess up often is accent marks in languages like diacritics

[midnight coral]

Well, good thing German has only ä, ö and ü.

[atomic dove]

tbh i just forget to add them lol

[sour pulsar]

ä, ö, ü are the reason why I choose german than dutch😆

[marsh torrent]

dutch orthography is so confusing. If I learned them, it would not be so bad, but there are too many darn repeating vowels in that language

[sour pulsar]

Yep, therefore german is better

[marsh torrent]

I heard Duch grammar is easier, so there is a trade-off of ease in reading vs. in speaking

[sour pulsar]

Uhh, yep many pro-contra

But the one that I know. They are so similiar like indonesian and melayu

[simple atlas]

We don’t have cases so probably yep

[minor crystal]

Is causality shown purely by weird order?

Honestly German noun gender, noun strength, and verb strength are imo way harder to learn than cases, even when you count prepositions

[simple atlas]

Our sentence structure is pretty much the same as german:

Ich gebe ihm einen Apfel
Ik geef hem een appel

The dutch therefore generally speaking do not have much trouble with word order etc. When it comes to german

[hot cloak]

hallo

Baum

[sour pulsar]

Baum? 🌳

[hot cloak]

yes

baum

[sour pulsar]

Oh okey

Liebst du Baum?

[hot cloak]

ich liebe Baum

und du

[hot cloak]

hallo

[gritty wyvern]

Hallo

[dreamy cape]

hallo

[potent anvil]

Hallo

[hot cloak]

German doesn't have a strict subject-verb-object order like English does.

[sour pulsar]

Hallo alles

[sharp lantern]

alle*
alles is never for people

[mellow mist]

I find that both good and bad

[hot cloak]

I tried learning turkish once and i gave up because i couldnt adjust to the word order

[mellow mist]

oh yeah it's far from English word order isn't it?

[edgy sphinx]

Am Dienstag habe ich meine B1 Prüfung, Haben sie etwas Tipps?

[hot cloak]

If you haven't already, try memorizing some last-minute Redewendungen.

For example, come up with alternatives for expressing your opinion. Instead of "Ich denke," try stuff like "Meiner Meinung/Ansicht nach," or "Ich vertrete die Meinung, dass...," usw.

[edgy sphinx]

Hadn't considered that. Thanks!

[sour pulsar]

Em okey, now its not typo. 😶

[slim swallow]

in some cases its the exact reverse of english

[runic garden]

turkish is so whack its great

[slim swallow]

yeah

[runic garden]

basically clauses are backwards its really fun

elbise is a dress too

takım elbise is definitly a suit tho

[slim swallow]

i found the image online so it could definitely be wrong

[hard badger]

This may sound silly, but I view it as a sort of phrasing. kinda like how Yoda phrases his sentence

if that's factual that is

[serene hearth]

That image is hilarious and the translation is mostly correct, it's how people try to teach English to beginners in Turkey: "guys: think of it like the order of everything is reversed"

a few words could be changed but yeah

[hot cloak]

How do people get access to the voice chats? 😐

[iron marsh]

I searched that sentence with other languages and most of the languages make sentences in reverse than English.

May be the reason for people making funny word order sentences in Englsh.

[serene hearth]

Both feels natural after a while once you get comfortable with the languages

I guess that goes for everything but eh

[iron marsh]

Mostly Asian languages.

Euro languages have similar structure barring a few changes here and there.

[iron marsh]

Takes time.

Around ten minutes I suppose.

[brittle sable]

Morgen

[runic garden]

this is genius, im gonna use that for making turkish sentences now

[dreamy island]

fun fact, the word for kite in german is the same for dragon

[hot cloak]

hey any native german? please dm me please

[cobalt adder]

hey

[wraith jasper]

moin

[crude wind]

Can someone recommend good junk food(in Germany)
I have just moved and would like to try some good chips and chocolates

[flat relic]

Iss Döner mit den Jungs

[olive sentinel]

Chips you can either get Pringles or Naturals from Lorenz

Chocolate uhh Ritter Sport is pretty good and also versatile

[crude wind]

Is it too sweet?
Bitter chocolates with almonds or something are preferable! :3

[olive sentinel]

ew

I hate dark chocolate but uhh

[crude wind]

Lol, Alleine ist besser

[olive sentinel]

https://cdn02.plentymarkets.com/t4l5octwuee2/item/images/870358/full/859771aa.jpg

I mean if you can find it

but I think ritter sport mostly makes normal chocolate

[crude wind]

Okay okay
I tried Kaufland's hazelnut chocolate
Wasn't the best ngl

[olive sentinel]

Sounds like a Billigmarke lol

[crude wind]

This one's my favourite so far

[lavish minnow]

Ritter Sport chocolate 😍

Whenever I spot it anywhere I buy God knows how many bars

Not letting it get away

[crude wind]

How bitter is it?

[night shell]

schön schön

[cyan storm]

BSJABSKANDAKDNAKSJAHDJWHS

[night shell]

KŞADAHLADAJŞADAKŞADAŞG

[lavish minnow]

I wouldn't really say that it is at all (or maybe very slightly? But that's, of course, quite common when it isn't proper dairy milk chocolate)

[crude wind]

Mhmm
Okay!

[lavish minnow]

If you get a chance, I suggest you at least give it a try. (The price is also very reasonable for what you're getting, so really there's nothing to lose). 😊

[crude wind]

Yeah I'll try it :3

[marsh torrent]

When I lived there, I became addicted to Chipsfrisch Asiatisch Gesmachk, and they were only about a Euro, so many were bought haha

[crude wind]

I'll try it out :3

Thank you!

[marsh torrent]

I always bought it at Penny-Markt, so maybe check there. It just has this vague curry flavor, which I liked

[crude wind]

Sounds spicy?

[marsh torrent]

Not really tbh. I found that German products were more likely than not to be mild.

[severe crater]

you're telling me

i bought a spice shaker that was crushed red peppers - in the usa it would be hella spicy. it barely adds any spice. i'm better off just adding more pepper

[wraith talon]

Hi. I'm here to learn german and do nothing else. what channels would be best if I want to discuss stuff like that

I studied german for 2 years but it's been almost 2 years since i've studied it and i've forgotten quite a bit of it

I would assume #german-only and anything under learning and resources would be good right?

[marsh torrent]

yeah, the two questions channels are good for any help you need

[trail locust]

@wraith talon "What are some good videos/audio tracks I can listen to and take notes from"

Easy German videos have subtitles in both German and English. If you're on desktop, you can move the browser down so that the English subtitles are covered and you can only see the German ones.

Easy German podcast is explicitly for learners--they speak fairly clearly, they enunciate fairly well, and they talk a bit slow. There's also a transcript if you subscribe to their Patreon.

There's also Coffee Break German, where one of the hosts is himself a German learner, and they literally work through a passage with you, breaking it down word-by-word often.

[wraith talon]

interesting

I may check it out

[opal sequoia]

@wraith talon Can you explain some things about why you feel you can't learn it?

[wraith talon]

1: I’m not good at anything
2: I’m almost 18 and have accomplished nothing with my life
3: there were several grammatical errors in my example
4: one sentence was “unintelligible”
5: I haven’t studied German in almost 2 years
6: when I speak or write, something always goes wrong

[opal sequoia]

Ahh, I see.

18 is pretty young.

[wraith talon]

Pffft

Sure

[opal sequoia]

A more realistic goal for when to have accomplished something is like 30 or so.

Like on average, I'd say 30 is a good age for most people.

So don't stress about being 18 without accomplishments.

And let's be honest, it's pretty clear that point number 5 explains points 3, 4, and 6.

You would be superhuman if you didn't study and were fluent.

But you're not superhuman. You're a normal person who has to study to learn.

And if you study, you'll learn. It's as simple as that.

Yes, it's frustrating because it takes time and effort and you make a lot of mistakes. Same for me. Same for everyone.

I've been studying for years and I still make tons of mistakes.

[runic garden]

Mistakes are part of the journey

[left jolt]

Mistakes are the journey

[opal sequoia]

If you can't psychologically handle mistakes, then that's your true obstacle. And we can't help with that. That's something you'd need to work through with a therapist.

[wraith talon]

And it’s just like, I thought I did well and had a decent understanding of the language, because I did well in my classes. But obviously that’s false

[opal sequoia]

On the other hand, if you're just frustrated and annoyed because of some mistakes, that's normal. You can just push through it and keep going and improve.

[opal sequoia]

2 years ago. Knowledge doesn't stick around forever. A language is something you have to keep practicing all the time or it fades away.

[wraith talon]

And I can listen to others speak and read German writing and almost entirely understand it

[opal sequoia]

That's great. That's a positive.

[wraith talon]

But when I speak it I forget words, word order is wrong, etc

[opal sequoia]

If half your skills are good, you're in a great place. You just have to work on the other skills and get them to the same level.

[wraith talon]

Thanks for trying to help me

I had a rough day today, so ending it on a good note will ease my conscience.

Lol

[tardy palm]

1. Don’t quit if you’re passionate about something 2. recognize that mistakes are inevitable

[wraith talon]

Yeah

Danke schön

❤️

[tardy palm]

There was actually a time, like 3 years ago, where I thought I was better at German than I actually was, and I got DMed by a mod that I needed to change my role back to B, because I was making too many mistakes that an average C level doesn’t, but after all this time, look where I‘ve ended up by just not giving up.

Nowadays, when I am bored I like helping people out with German and there’s rarely a time where someone else who is native or C Level completely objects to an explanation I give to someone regarding their question

[opal sequoia]

Good work @tardy palm

[tardy palm]

♥️

@wraith talon (this was to try and help show you that everyone used to be in your shoes)

[grand plaza]

@wraith talon If you got question about the German language I guess you always can DM someone from who you think they can help you

[wraith talon]

Ye

Also, I apologize if I use English too much

Schlecht Sprache am I Right

[tardy palm]

You have to recognize as well that when people correct you, it’s not coming from a place of disrespect or hatred, that’s just you being like, „wow, I hate being wrong“.

[wraith talon]

That’s true

I do hate being wrong

Kinda a destructive mindset

[opal sequoia]

It's fine if someone offers to DM but we generally discourage people DMing randomly and prefer they use #questions or #questions-2 .

[wraith talon]

Tbf nobody likes being wrong lol

[tardy palm]

I have had to learn to drop my ego when a native is correcting me @wraith talon it takes a while to get used to I can tell you that, especially when you’re used to never doing that 😂

It will help you in the long run

[grand plaza]

Or just this option, just ask pls. I hate it If people don't talk when they got question...

[opal sequoia]

Hmm, I wouldn't say that. When I was a beginner here, I would sometimes intentionally write sentences in a different way, even if I knew a "correct" way to say it, just to see if it would be wrong or a mistake. I think being curious and respecting the power of mistakes is a great way to boost your learning.

Mistakes are a tool that you should use to your advantage.

[wraith talon]

Yeah

I totally agree

[tardy palm]

As I said earlier, mistakes are really just your friends in disguise.

[wraith talon]

I should’ve said “nobody likes being wrong when they’re almost certain they’re right”

[tardy palm]

They aren’t what they seem to be, you can’t test yourself down for not knowing something you’ve never even learned or fully grasped before

Tear*

[opal sequoia]

I think the real problem there is not being wrong, but the assumption that you're right, lol.

[wraith talon]

Oh sorry

[opal sequoia]

My advice for you right now is to just never assume with so much certainty that you're correct. I mean, you didn't study for 2 years. Of course you won't be able to know if you're wrong or not.

It would be unreasonable to expect yourself to be right.

[tardy palm]

It’s ok to not know how something works. You aren’t born being all-knowing. Language learning is a fantastic way to actually humble yourself, and realise you really don’t know everything.

[wraith talon]

I don’t expect myself to be correct

I want to be correct

[opal sequoia]

In that case, the issue is the order of events.

The goal is not to be correct at the start. The goal is to be correct at the end.

So it doesn't matter if you make a mistake the first time you write something, or the tenth time, or the hundredth time. It matters that you reach the point where you get it correct.

So if you try out writing something, and someone corrects you, then you just learned the correct way to do it.

So in that exchange, you're correct.

At least, if we consider the outcome, which is the important part.

I also want to be correct. But how I do that is by making mistakes and finding the right answers. Once I go through that process, that's when I become correct, which is what I want. 😄

To me, that just makes sense.

[wraith talon]

Thanks for being so helpful

I was feeling extremely dejected about the German language earlier

I genuinely feel better about it now

Thanks for that

[tardy palm]

Even when you reach a high-level, you honestly never stop being corrected, but there does come a point where you sort of intentionally search out being corrected. Like for example we have sentences posted in #study-tasks, I did the last ones there, and a native and I went through them in a voice call. I only wrote one of them completely perfectly, I think the second one, because they’re actually extremely difficult to translate, but that’s normal, if I hadn’t been wrong with a single aspect of it, I would’ve learned nothing because well then I would’ve had nothing needing to be corrected. The point is you never really escape learning something new, no matter how experienced you are. I find it funny that sometimes even in English people who live somewhere totally different than me would say something in a certain way, even though for me it sounds strange af.

[wraith talon]

Also I apologize if I speak English too much

It is my native language so it’s kinda how I best understand things

[tardy palm]

Yeah it’s normal

It’s all you have to fall back on so

[wraith talon]

I do know some Swedish as well, but I’d much rather speak English lmao

[tardy palm]

I have found the more you force yourself out of your comfort zone, e.i. not defaulting to English when you’re unsure of how to say something, the more you learn stuff, granted the other person actually corrects you.

[opal sequoia]

Yeah, one method some people use is choosing specific days of the week where they speak only German.

So like, you know, Monday and Friday, or whatever.

Then you have those times where you get to force yourself to practice, but it's not completely overwhelming.

[hot cloak]

I wish they were as close as espanol and portuguese so i could talk to them

Hello

[modern sandal]

Question about learning methods to people here. I find that consuming content to learn a language is better and it also keeps me entertained while helping me learn vocab.
But it's hard to find content in german as I barely have a netflix subscription and I struggle with conventional methods of learning like using text books.

[steep comet]

maybe try to look for German YouTubers 👀

[modern sandal]

Should I look for a course or just bear with learning vocabulary first while watching content?

[modern sandal]

Such as?

[steep comet]

idk what do you usually watch?

like gaming stuff? Anime? Makeup?

[simple atlas]

I can recommend easy german

[lunar pawn]

I love Hazel & Thomas. If you're into documentaries I'd recommend: WDR (auch WDR Doku); Y-Kollektiv.

[eternal imp]

god I'm so bored

I'm going to read the lotr again

better yet, Imma listen to the audiobook

[shell abyss]

Is this a safe place to talk about treasure trove

@sudden panther

[sudden panther]

Yes, aldi will not find us here @shell abyss!

Today she woke up and she said I cannot believe I am not going on a treasure hunt and she was crying in voice chat and I had to tell her no aldi stop crying. It was very tiring, so I don't want her to cry again.

[shell abyss]

@sudden panther I think you can care less about that.
It was you, who started not to invite her.
There was no talk about it in this mission

[sudden panther]

Yes, but you know how it is when people cry. They just cry and you have to say no it's okay. @shell abyss

[shell abyss]

Oh
I feel bad when people cry.
It's sad

@sudden panther I have got one clue how to explore true treasure .

1. We should practice 10000 times the skill set used to do the searching

[sudden panther]

That is smart @shell abyss. Have you found the treasure?

[sudden panther]

Yeah but what can you do. Life is tough, you can't always go treasure hunting. Aldi should learn to accept that and stop crying, do you agree?

[shell abyss]

@sudden panther this is a forced emotion case.
You are bringing Aldi in this story. And then making her feel left out.
Is this a trick

[sudden panther]

Well you had the chance to say okay aldi you can come, but still, if she cannot come, she should accept that, yes.

[shell abyss]

Well I think the 10000 times practice of skill set is only beginning of the search adventure. You can see it is going to be tough

[sudden panther]

Yes very tough. Does the skill set include fighting a snake? I had to fight a snake once.

[shell abyss]

@sudden panther I have a secret tour guide map, one faithful companion, and hope with me for now

[shell abyss]

I hope I don't have to handle snake.
Why are you fighting with snake

Ok aarem
I will go and think about some plan, bye

[dreamy zodiac]

Yea, I totally learned my German thru anime, lol

[brazen moss]

Haha, natürlich, aber ich schaue Anime mit deutschen Untertiteln

[brazen moss]

Ach so, du lebst in DE

[dreamy zodiac]

Jup, in Nordrhein-Westfalen

[brazen moss]

ich bin ein bisschen Eifersüchtig, ich muss immer ein VPN benutzen aber es geht immer nicht

[dreamy zodiac]

Hmm ..

Aber es gibt mehrere Videos bei YT, die Anime mit deutschen Untertiteln zeigen

Vielleicht kannst du die suchen

[brazen moss]

Food Wars!

[brazen moss]

Food Wars fucking rules

[dreamy zodiac]

[turbid sonnet]

[dreamy zodiac]

It was a joke, I don't learn my German thru anime

But .. it does contribute somewhat

[pure bronze]

You can always join the voice chats and talk to other people or take part of the lessons

[dusky garnet]

Is there a list of rules/directions somewhere cuz I'm not super used to discord in general n feel like I'll do it wrong somehow😅

Or like a schedule/calendar perhaps?

[pure bronze]

You can’t do wrong except of breaking the rules

Type >lessons in #botchannel

From what I gather there's new ones everyday, if I'm not wrong it looks like the ones now are for b2, so i guess I'd go back and do older simpler ones?

Ey, ich habe gerade diese Phishing-Mail bekommen, die eigentlich ziemlich echt aussieht. Die Grammatik im Text ist fehlerfrei. Es gibt nur einen einzigen Hinweis, dass es sich hier tatsächlich um eine Phishing-Mail handelt, nämlich die Tatsache, dass die Email "[e-mail]" heißt, obwohl meine Uni die ZHAW ist und nicht die "ZHHAW". Wenn man aber nicht genau darauf schaut, dann könnte man sicher denken, dass diese E-Mail echt wäre.

Diese verdammten Phisher werden ja jedes Jahr besser und somit gefährlicher...

For German Native Speakers

When you say "so" in German naturally, do you say it with an s sound or with a z sound

Please react with an S or a Z on the comment

[pure bronze]

@naive pulsar my Airup finally arrived. I hope it works

[hot cloak]

why z

never z

[spiral belfry]

Wait are you thinking z in german

[hot cloak]

wha

[spiral belfry]

My bad i meant s and z in English

[hot cloak]

wym

[spiral belfry]

S in german sounds like z in English right

[hot cloak]

ohh when you say so in englisch

i mean

not really

[hot cloak]

nein

eh

the german Z is kinda different from the english one yes

German S can be an English sounding s or z depending on where in the word it is, but German z is neither the English s or z

i am now; confused.

[spiral belfry]

Yes exactly, so in the word so in german, what is the sound of S

[hot cloak]

s

When I've heard so I've heard it with an English sounding s and with a german z before.

In terms of being correct, I think it should be pronounced like an English z with an emphasis on the o?

i guess

[worthy shuttle]

Was geht leude

[hot cloak]

I think I read that if the s comes after a consonant it becomes more like an English s, however. I'm sure a quick Google is a little more helpful than me though xD

was geeht

[worthy shuttle]

s oder z Probleme?

[spiral belfry]

Yup

[worthy shuttle]

Oh Gott xD

[hot cloak]

Maybe Google the definition and have it pronounce it for you?

[spiral belfry]

Ive been taught s in the beginning is like the English z but everyone says so like English so

Ich bin so nervös

[worthy shuttle]

Z has a "tssss" sound

[spiral belfry]

No forget the Z in german

[pure bronze]

Zebra

[spiral belfry]

Im saying Z in English as a reference for the sound

[hot cloak]

Yeah that sounds good

[spiral belfry]

Good that was fun 😂

Please no one else chime in

You heard that eac now has linux support?

[hot cloak]

Quite good, tomorrow's weekend. And you?

[hot cloak]

Yeah and I'm very happy about it

[bronze wyvern]

Quite well too

What DE/WM are you using?

[hot cloak]

Currently Cinnamon and KDE (I use both Mint and Fedora on 2 disks) but I also like GNOME

[bronze wyvern]

that's good

[hot cloak]

Yep

And what distro and DE you use?

[bronze wyvern]

gentoo/dwl

[hot cloak]

Ohh that's nice

[bronze wyvern]

dwl is dwm but for wayland

[hot cloak]

How long it takes you to compile Gentoo?

[bronze wyvern]

the kernel is like 20 mins

firefox ~ 40(if you use the normal version)

there are precompiled versions available

[hot cloak]

I didn't know

[hot cloak]

So not really long I guess

[bronze wyvern]

no, not really

[bronze wyvern]

but only if you start from scratch

if you only change a few options, it won't have to recompile much

[hot cloak]

Maybe I'll try Gentoo once

[bronze wyvern]

i wouldn't reconment it if you are using cinnamon

i'd first at least try arch

Arch is actually quite easy to install, mostly just following instructions

gentoo on the other hand is a bit harder

for grammar

for speaking practicing with other german speaking people and immersing yourself in the language by using it in your daily life is a good way to learn i think

[hot cloak]

there are a couple important grammar rules you can learn quickly, such as when to put a verb at the end of the sentence
