Anyone else in a similar position where you've spent years practicing a language just to learn you're only an A2?

#

Just realized that today

autumn tusk
#

Duolingo

#

Thought it was good, but guess not lol

opal sequoia
#

That's common then.

#

I've met a lot of people who tried learning with just Duolingo and ended up in the same situation.

autumn tusk
#

Funny thing is I'm almost done with the course

#

and I'm still not conversational

opal sequoia
#

The Duolingo course is only officially A1 anyway.

#

They are still currently working on getting it to A2.

autumn tusk
#

Interesting

#

Well, it taught me the absolute basics

#

I just need to figure out how to get past that

This server is really useful for that.

How to get started

The simplest way to learn German is to find topics you don’t understand yet and search for explanations of them. This list provides you with a guide for which topics to learn if you are completely new to German. Type the topic into Google (or YouTube) and start learning!

Introduction

1: Alphabet (especially Ă€, ĂŒ, ö and ß)
2: Basic greetings (hello, goodbye, etc.)

Part 1 - Simple Sentence

1: Noun gender & plurals
2: Nominative case (What are cases?)
3: Nominative pronouns (I, you, he, she, etc.)
4: Verbs in present tense
5: Definite/indefinite articles
6: Accusative case (for nouns)
7: Accusative pronouns
8: Word order of simple sentences
9: How to ask questions

See Part 2 on the next page.

Tips
  • Always learn the gender of a noun when you learn a new noun
  • Learn to use a translation dictionary (e.g. dict.cc, leo.org)
  • Use >faq resources to see our list of German learning resources
  • For listening and pronunciation practice, try watching movies or videos (incl. YouTube)
  • You can listen to pronunciation for words on websites like dict.cc, forvo.com, and others
  • Practice writing sentences every day (and asking people to correct them)
  • Ask as many questions as possible
  • Don’t be scared to make mistakes!!!! If you don’t let yourself make mistakes, you will never be able to learn German

late yarrow
#

English is way more irregular so I prefer learning German

exotic drift
#

hi

young plover
# late yarrow English is way more irregular so I prefer learning German

So far, I might agree. I am very new but German words make sense. Some of the grammar is a little confusing or maybe it's words like zu that I am not quite understanding its place yet. I think these apps and stuff like Rosetta stone are cool but you have to supplement which I leanred the hard way with all my failed attempts to learn Spanish. But it's all good. here I am!

late yarrow
young plover
# late yarrow Yeah, there are gonna still be some things that don't make as much sense, like z...

Agreed. Younger me thought I was all set after a few rounds of DuoLingo hahahaha...anyway. I do not think it's bad but I really dislike that these programms do not have further explanations. I like a good puzzle to solve but having to just notice words and their placement changing without an understanding as to why it is changing. Declinsions are new for me so we found this wonderful video online that made it make more sense and easier to digest. And.... some of the translations are possibly a LITTLE off but that's me wanting more explanation why / why not words appear in one place but not the other and the same idea is expressed.

#

So yeah... Rosetta stone is OK. Cannot say that the speaking piece is great. My husband has heard me mess up a word pretty bad and I will get 100% on my pronunciation. lol

late yarrow
# young plover Agreed. Younger me thought I was all set after a few rounds of DuoLingo hahahaha...

I agree abt apps mostly.. And duo sucking. Busuu gives enough explanations to grasp the concepts imo so I always recommend/plug that. Youtube is definitely a good idea as long as you have a reliable enough channel, I recommend Deutsch fĂŒr euch. Some translations are the equivalent rather than word for word so that makes sense. Where are you getting translations from or is this rosetta stone specific? Also, there was a lesson a couple weeks back on declension and the slides are pinned in #lessons if you want to look at those

late yarrow
young plover
#

I feel you. I do use Google Translate but more to kind of check myself. Google Translate can be very uhhhh...loose? sometimes hahah

late yarrow
#

I pretty much only use deepl

young plover
#

I just learned about it today so I might be hopping on the DeepL train.

late yarrow
#

And I look up genders etc with the verbformen site

#

Aah okay cool

young plover
#

Ooh! Thank you. Verbformen? Nice

late yarrow
#

(It's a lot better than google anyways)

young plover
#

***Danke. hahaha

#

Word.

late yarrow
#

It says verb but it does nouns and shows diff stuff etc. It just doesn't show the word meaning or translation in English thisisanneirl

young plover
#

Google Trans is good if you already basically know what is being said or is trying to be conveyed lol

#

Cool!

late yarrow
#

True yeah.. I usually go to deepl bc I don't know a word or don't understand an entire text. I only go to Google translate if I want an image translating bc they do that

young plover
#

Word!

late yarrow
#

I guess the jokey videos where you translate idk a recipe 5 times then try to make it have.. Certainly increased my anti google translate bias

young plover
#

lol

#

I hear you.

#

Thank you for sharing some of those resources. Back to work for me! I'll be back. Take care though!

Hello, so my aunt lives in Germany and I live in a developing country. Naturally, the currency is different and so is the value. I'm wondering if €60 for 3 books of Henle sheet music is considered expensive (normally) in Germany/Europe. Converted into my currency, it is just not a reasonable price for music books. Before asking her (since she usually buys gifts when she comes here), I want to make sure that €60 is not a burden for Europeans? She lives okay I guess, not poor but not rich either.

brittle fable
#

How large are the books? Working out at €20 is a reasonable price a decently sized novel

They're sheet music books 132, 111, 88 pages each

hello guys I'm new to the server, i started to learn german 20 days ago, any help ?

I’ve had a lot of success from Duolingo so far.

#

Duolingo ist not exactly viewed with... praise here, but personally I see no problem in using it as long as you don't only use it

merry inlet
royal junco
#

what about practicing german ? the talking part ?

empty fern
#

My experience so far is that it has taught me enough to be able to have a foundation that i can then practice in other areas. Hence, being here. I'm sure there are plenty of things to be critical of but as someone using it I've found it helpful.

#

As for talking, the reason I'm here is to practice but if you mean voice then there are online Zoom meetings where you can talk to others based on your level.

royal junco
#

that's good !

#

where can i find zoom ?

I found them through Duolingo oddly enough. They have an events section where tutors host events. Some are paid but the free ones have been good for me.

I like spiders more than snakes

#

atleast here in germany

tardy palm
#

Actually I don’t even step on spiders, I leave them alone

#

But they’re still creepy

#

I never understood why anyone would want a pet tarantula

vapid garnet
#

I once had a 3cm big spider (body only) next to my face in my bed. I didn't rly move I just let it vibe with me

vapid garnet
tardy palm
#

Because snakes are not creepy

vapid garnet
#

probably because of the same reason

tardy palm
#

Unlike spiders

vapid garnet

Snakes are badass

Other people also think like me lol

They’re popular pets

I keep something you probably think is even worse than snakes

vapid garnet
#

what?

tardy palm
#

I have my own colony of cockroaches

#

Like as pets

vapid garnet
#

I actually think thats kinda funny

#

as long as they aren't uncontrolled in my house

tardy palm
#

You know what’s really surprising about them

tardy palm
#

You literally can’t even smell them or hear them

vapid garnet
#

those beasts are just superior

tardy palm
#

The only time you hear them is if you let light into their enclosure because then they all start panicking and trying to run away from the light

#

You hear them walking, that’s all

vapid garnet
#

I just imagine panicking cockroaches rn xD

tardy palm
#

But there’s actually another reason why I have them

#

I breed them because then I don’t have to buy any from the pet store

vapid garnet
#

to feed them?

tardy palm
#

Because I have Leopardgeckos that eat them

vapid garnet
#

makes sense

tardy palm
#

But

vapid garnet
#

geckos are funny

tardy palm
#

You really have to treat them like your pets

#

Like take good care of them

#

Or else they die

vapid garnet
#

cockroaches can die???

tardy palm
#

They can’t climb plastic so they’re just in a plastic tub

#

In a dark room

tardy palm
vapid garnet
#

how old do they get?

tardy palm
#

The females can live for 2-3 years and males 1-2

vapid garnet
#

thats long for such a small animal

tardy palm
#

They are relatively large insects though to be fair

vapid garnet
#

yeahhh, but still not big

tardy palm
#

But yeah it is impressive

#

For an insect

#

That’s a long time

vapid garnet
#

you have any other pets?

tardy palm
#

They are like 4-5 cm when they are adults

#

But they start out like 3-4 millimeters when they are born

vapid garnet
tardy palm
#

It’s crazy

#

Like one baby roach is like the size of an adult‘s eye 😂

vapid garnet
#

lol

tardy palm
vapid garnet
#

that don't fit xD

tardy palm
#

I would like more pets

#

Just don’t really wanna spend more money right now

vapid garnet
#

pets are expensive

tardy palm
#

Leopard geckos can live for 20 years in captivity

#

Or more

vapid garnet
#

do they grow a beard? thonkflat

tardy palm
#

One time one of them bit my nose lmao

vapid garnet
tardy palm
#

It was bleeding too

tardy palm
#

Leopard geckos are way smaller

vapid garnet
tardy palm
#

Btw if you don’t Feed the roaches they will also die. But they can live for 2-4 weeks without food because they’re cold-blooded. And they can live for a week without water

#

So it‘s pretty easy to take care of them

vapid garnet
#

you know what'd be a funny experiment? you let 5 cockroaches free and one snake and then you look for 4weeks if the snake gets all of them or if they breed

tardy palm
#

And the geckos can live for like a month without food (but that’s just cruel to make them wait that long as your pet)

#

But they will refuse to eat every day

#

You have to wait like 3-4 days

#

Then they’re hungry again

tardy palm
#

I have no idea if any snakes eat them

vapid garnet
#

or just let one gecko out

tardy palm
#

Roaches have really tough armor as adults so idk if the snake could even paralyze it

#

But they could Just swallow it

#

Not all snakes use s venom

#

a

vapid garnet
tardy palm
#

Roaches don’t breathe through their mouthed

#

Mouths

vapid garnet
#

anal breathing? hahah

tardy palm
#

They breathe through these spots on the sides of their bodies

#

They’re really prominent as they get older

#

Like these orange spots

vapid garnet
tardy palm
#

Snakes prefer something squishy though

#

Roaches are not that

#

xD

#

Unless they’re juveniles

#

But another reason I breed them is because once I have a lot of them I can also sell them to people xD

#

They’re a popular choice at pet stores so if I can sell them for cheaper than the pet stores it’s a win-win

vapid garnet
#

man gets millionaire with cockroaches

In German I know you call them Schaben but have you ever heard of Kakerlaken 😂

hmm idk

tardy palm
#

Do you wanna see my geckos

vapid garnet
#

ofc

tardy palm
#

They’re a lot bigger than they look like I was surprised when I measured them, both around 23cm

#

Ok I’ll brb to take a picture

vapid garnet
#

ok ok

tardy palm
#

Here is one

vapid garnet
#

awww

#

such a cutie

tardy palm
#

He will just sit still for 25 min on your hand motionless

#

Lol

vapid garnet
#

hehe

#

lazy a$$ gecko

tardy palm
#

Yeah you can also just put him on your shoulder

#

Doesn’t move

vapid garnet
#

so you're a pirate?

tardy palm
#

Sometimes though he climbs to your other shoulder

#

Or in my case he climbs up my head

#

Which only sort of hurts

tardy palm
#

Just not a bird

vapid garnet
#

only theoretically: when you cut of the tail of one of them, will it grow back?

tardy palm
#

Yes

#

That’s not even theoretical

#

They can do that

#

If a predator attacks them in the wild they can drop their tail by themselves actually

#

And hopefully it only eats their tail

#

So they can get away

vapid garnet
#

Imagine if humans could do that

tardy palm
#

This is my other one

vapid garnet
#

they kinda look chunky peepohappy

tardy palm
#

Their tail is made of literally just fat mostly, so when they have nothing to eat, their tail keeps them alive

#

And it can for like a week

#

This is why when they lose their tail they are very vulnerable

#

Because they can’t rely on their tail

#

They have to eat

#

And it takes a while to grow a new tail

vapid garnet
#

like 1 month?

tardy palm
#

Yeah like a month

torn fulcrum
#

I've always wanted one of those geckos peepyLove

tardy palm
#

It depends how fat their tail is

#

It could be only 2 weeks if it’s a really skinny tail

vapid garnet
#

your geckos look like they have a fat tail hehe

flat relic
tardy palm
#

They are very healthy peepohappy

tardy palm
#

Like I said you can set them anywhere on you and they don’t move that much

#

When they do start moving a lot it means they want to go back to their cage mmlol

vapid garnet
#

how warm is their cage usually?

#

oh damn, it's alrady 0am

tardy palm
#

Wait I have to see what it is in celcius LOL

#

I think there is a button on the thermostat that can change to celcius

vapid garnet
#

americans and their units

tardy palm
#

It’s around 31-37 @vapid garnet

vapid garnet
#

ah ok, thats warm

tardy palm
#

But not the entire cage

#

Only one half of it is warm

#

Because if they get too hot they need a spot to cool down

#

So the other side is colder

vapid garnet
#

ah ok

tardy palm
#

You know what’s funny one time I sent a picture of one of my cockroaches here and I got warned by a mod lmao

vapid garnet
#

why haha

tardy palm
#

Because some people just hate them I guess

vapid garnet
#

xD

tardy palm
#

Only like 2% of existing species of roaches even infest houses

#

The rest stay outside

#

The ones I have aren’t one that can infest my house

#

Because they’re a tropical roach from South America

#

So it’s too cold here

#

They couldn’t reproduce

vapid garnet
#

thats smart

tardy palm
#

I had to explain that to my mom and step dad like 4 times

#

đŸ€ŁđŸ€Ł

vapid garnet
#

hahhaha

tardy palm
#

They won’t die from the cold because well, they’re roaches

#

Invincible

#

But they can’t have babies if it’s cold

#

You know what’s actually nasty

vapid garnet
#

what

tardy palm
#

When one dies of old age

#

The other ones eat it

vapid garnet
tardy palm
#

Talk about not wasting resources

#

😂

vapid garnet
tardy palm
#

But something else funny I have noticed

#

They eat the dead males way more often than the dead females

#

Not sure why

vapid garnet
#

that's weird

tardy palm
#

Maybe they’re tastier

#

Also they can’t bite so i am totally fearless picking them up đŸ€Ł

vapid garnet
#

why can't they bite

tardy palm
#

Well firstly they won’t eat something unless it’s smelly or they’re really hungry and human skin doesn’t really smell that much

#

They obviously need to bite to eat fruit but like

#

I’ve had them since last March

#

Never been bitten

#

I don’t know man they just don’t

vapid garnet
#

don't feed them for too long and they will haha

tardy palm
#

You know what does bite

#

Crickets, crickets bite

#

Little fuckers

vapid garnet
#

and why do you know that hahaa

tardy palm
#

Ok tbh I have never been bitten by one but I have just heard a lot of people on YouTube say that crickets bite

#

And that roaches don’t

#

Actually there is this one video I can show you as an example

vapid garnet
#

THEY KILLED A GECKO?!

#

I am afraid of them now

tardy palm
#

Yep lol

#

This is why I don’t even use crickets

#

Also crickets stink and they are loud

#

And they die in a week

#

Anyway it was nice talking to you but I think I’m gonna play some videogames now @vapid garnet

@quartz viper „Ich werde geimpft“ means you are getting vaccinated. „Ich bin geimpft“ means you are vaccinated.

#

So in order to say you got vaccinated, turn werden into wurden, it’s simple past.

#

The confusing part is if I try to explain it with „I was vaccinated“ so I am using „got“

#

I was vaccinated can mean two things

#

Ich war geimpft
Ich wurde geimpft

Mean these two things

#

German just has a different form for each one

#

If you use „werden“ it describes the process, if you use „sein“ it described the current state.

quartz viper
#

thonkflat thx, I think i am getting the point but still must to take my time to fully understand it

tardy palm
#

„Ich werde geimpft“ you can say this before you’re vaccinated as well as while it’s happening, like while the needle is in your arm, literally, xD

#

After the needle pulls out, now you can say „Ich bin geimpft“

#

Or „Ich wurde geimpft“

quartz viper
tender lodge
#

but why do they use ich wurde geimpft more than ich bin geimpft

tardy palm
#

I don’t know, I think it just sounds nicer in German most likely, or it’s just preferred.

#

But you can say both, if you want

tender lodge
#

😆 I would have chosen ich bin geimpft

tardy palm
#

Which isn’t a wrong way to say it

#

But also not necessarily what most natives say

tender lodge
#

Ich bin geimpft worden

loud shoal
#

This came from a conversation where someone said where they were vaccinated

#

so it was very different in that context

tardy palm
#

And I wanted to shed some light on the good ol Vorgangs- versus Zustandspassiv

#

Because the wrong one was used for what they were going for

loud shoal
#

? is that Zustandspassiv

#

I thought it was just adjectival form of a Partizip II

tardy palm
loud shoal
#

Ich bin/war geimpft

tender lodge
#

man könnte sagen "ich habe die Spitzenproteine in meiner Blut"

tardy palm
#

You’re not wrong

#

But it is also Zustandspassiv

loud shoal
#

i hate this language

tardy palm
#

Zustand is a state

#

Participles often describe a state

#

Like in the example Wikipedia is giving

quartz viper
tardy palm
#

Geöffnet = opened

#

Wait lol, no, the participle does not describe it

#

It is the sein vs werden

#

sein = to be
werden = to become

#

If it helps you can think of it more literally

tender lodge
#

Spitzenproteine im ganzen Körper

tardy palm
#

Die TĂŒr wird geöffnet = the door is becoming (getting or being) opened

loud shoal
#

maybe in english

#

Ich war geimpft - I was vaccinated
Ich wurde geimpft - I was being vaccinated

#

sounds unnatural but just to have some differentiation

#

and technically works đŸ€”

tender lodge
#

yes it is unnatural😆

tardy palm
#

Ich wurde geimpft also means „I was vaccinated“.

#

That’s why it can cause confusion

#

This is why I described it more like „I got vaccinated“

loud shoal
#

yea that's why i was saying we could translate it to 'was being'

#

in your example it sounds better, Die TĂŒr wurde geöffnet could definitely be The door was being opened

#

idk i'm grasping onto anything to make these make sense lmao

tardy palm
#

As/when the door was being opened I saw her coming

loud shoal
#

tru

#

well it at least makes a lot more sense now since I know that it is literally just sein+adjective basically

tardy palm
#

I never really thought about it being „was being opened“ but it’s definitely possible

loud shoal
#

partizip ii but regardless

tardy palm
#

It’s confusing af at first

#

Once you get it it’s clear as day XD

loud shoal
#

yeah lol ty for the explanations ❀

tardy palm
#

Np

quartz viper
#

❀

tardy palm
# loud shoal Ich war geimpft - I was vaccinated Ich wurde geimpft - I was being vaccinated

It‘s actually totally smart to think of it like this because if it’s in the present tense „ich werde geimpft“ then you have to use „being“ as part of the translation anyways, ie „I am being vaccinated“ (whether or not you say it while a needle is in your arm does not matter, btw, it’s just before or during you can say it)

#

But then usually a time is also given so for example „in 2 Tagen werde ich geimpft“

quartz viper
#

now I'm finally able to take a good sleep while thinking about this zzzz

Is spielen or zocken used more commonly when talking about playing Videospielen? I have been told to use zocken.

hexed moss
# leaden hamlet Is spielen or zocken used more commonly when talking about playing Videospielen?...

Spielen, wenn man mit Ă€lteren Menschen redet oder wenn man Brettspiele, Kartenspiele, etc. meint. Denn frĂŒher war "zocken" negativ konnotiert, da damit nur Teilnahme an GlĂŒcksspielen gemeint war.

Zocken wird im Kontext von Videospielen ausschließlich informell gebraucht, also mĂŒndlich, in Chats oder unter Freunden/Kollegen, nicht in z. B. Zeitungsberichten.

Ich wĂŒrde aber generell meistens zocken sagen.
