I like it

[glad fjord]

Im having png issues

[inland wind]

Do you need help converting that

[nimble pebble]

Aww, it's lovely

[balmy steppe]

I volunteer Polp, who said he's going to practice vector, but I have yet to see.

[inland wind]

I mean, I'm not gonna use illustrator to make that transparent anyway

[balmy steppe]

The intent is to make that into a vector, not to remove the transparent background

[inland wind]

Why would you though, when bluwu only needs to convert that to png and discord doesn't support vector anyway

[balmy steppe]

To get some practice in

[inland wind]

[balmy steppe]

😦

I'll give it a go, although I'm not sure I like the way the yarn is done in that,

But what I'm thinking of wouldn't make for a good emote maybe

[inland wind]

It's very painted on, yeah. Wouldn't translate super well into vector, but you could give it your own touch

[glad fjord]

I can change it up

lets call it a work in progress

[nimble pebble]

I tried adding the first one on another server and for that it will be needed:

[inland wind]

yeah generally you want to keep to the maximum resolution size

[glad fjord]

@nimble pebble sind das klein genug?

[nimble pebble]

Kann ich erst morgen schauen, aber es geht eigentlich alles, solange es maximal 256kb hat!

[fathom vector]

Downscale it yourself stupidman. 😤

[craggy crater]

don't call blu stupidman

[fathom vector]

Oh I'd never. Bulli on the other hand is definitely a huge stupidman.

[craggy crater]

hahaha

[nimble pebble]

Hell no

Cause I don't get paid for that 😤

[craggy crater]

do you get paid to be a stupidman? 🤔

[balmy steppe]

Did you draw this?

[glad fjord]

Yup

[balmy steppe]

Nice. Hopefully you were able to get the background to transparent.

[cinder cradle]

Hello I have an idea why we are not starting a discovery stage then we can practise our speaking in deutsch , even those who are an expert in this language can teach us in there

[gaunt bridge]

Okay, can you explain the reason why you need a stage instead of a voice channel?

[cinder cradle]

Voice chats are small group and its not good for starters and even they are not focused on specific topic
But in discovery can be like a free discussion everyone can share their ideas they can listen more

[gaunt bridge]

What do you mean by "small groups"? Most of our voice channels have no capacity limit.

The stage channels also need people to moderate them. We can't get someone to moderate 24/7.

[cinder cradle]

👍👍👍

[glad fjord]

Have you seen another servers use stages for this? Was it effective

[cinder cradle]

But its good for your channel because you will be the first community which start a discovery for learning german languages

So many people are finding these kind of channels

[gaunt bridge]

Okay, we can consider it.

[glad fjord]

I could see this being useful for like a disscussion type session, where someone leads a small speaking group

[gaunt bridge]

Yes, we could consider it for some events.

[cinder cradle]

👍👍

[glad fjord]

Emphasis on small with 50 people it wont work so good

[cinder cradle]

Little by little if you start these session several times so many people will join your channel because its usefull for them

[glad fjord]

A big issue with stages rn is that you cant screen share

Feel free to share if you have any ideas for an event that would work in this format

[nimble pebble]

Gimme a transparent bg version if you wanna make this a suggestion as well (I love it btw)

#community-discussion message
#community-discussion message
Same for these @craggy crater

I could ask around, in case you need help with that

[fathom vector]

Make it transparent yourself.

[craggy crater]

We talked about this 👀 I don't know how to do that

[glad fjord]

Ich mach es noch einmal neu

Es kann ein bisschen warten

[nimble pebble]

Show me how

[nimble pebble]

Oki :3
Sorry, hab erst jetzt dran gedacht

[nimble pebble]

Alright~

[inland wind]

@nimble pebble you forgot this one

[nimble pebble]

No, it's there

[vagrant python]

@nimble pebble wie oft darf man ein Emoji vorschlagen wenn es beim ersten Mal nicht genügend Stimmen erzielt?

[nimble pebble]

Darüber hab ich noch gar nicht nachgedacht

[vagrant python]

Mein Vorschlag hat bei einer Stimme verloren, echt schade

[nimble pebble]

Mach mal einfach nochmal, sobald dir danach ist

und ansonsten muss ich mal überlegen, wie wir das handlen mögen

[vagrant python]

Jeder Monat bis Sieg

[nimble pebble]

Einfach jedes jemals vorgeschlagene Emote, bis es reingevoted wird

[dark radish]

Do you guys want these emotes to be added to the server?

[nimble pebble]

I guess I wasn't very clear here. Every 2nd week I put the emotes that were suggested here into #archived-emote-suggestions @dark radish :D

[dark radish]

o

my b lmao

[nimble pebble]

But I'll take this as suggestions and put those there the next time then

[dark radish]

thanks!

sorry about that, wasn't quite sure what you meant

[nimble pebble]

Well, I didn't really make that clear I guess

No worries

[tacit yarrow]

Hello,
I hope you're well.
I'm sorry to bother but I'd like to sign up for the GLaD Study Group, I didn't get the chance to fill in the form.
Thank you.

[hollow meteor]

ah dang gotta go, take care!

[chrome valley]

@gaunt bridge I just realised that A grammar lessons will start 2h later than the kick off was yesterday
Kick off was at 23h which was doable, but lessons would start at 1am then last 2-3h

Germany timezone
Is there any chance that you hold lessons earlier, like it was yesterday?

Also, general suggestion, I think it's safe to assume that many people who just came in Germany want to learn language, so I think in general it would be nice to cater to DACH timezone when doing mass stuff

Or at least do the poll?

Like, I know there's hard to get ideal time for everyone, but at least don't hit those wee hours of 1-6 am for starting something

Or have two sessions for the same topic? I think that'd be ideal solution :)

[chrome shadow]

Well keep in mind that Base is from australia and these times already cater to us Europeans as much as possible
Last time we had 2 slots for the beginner sessions with 2 different Session Holders, but it really depends on who is available and up for actually putting in the effort of organising, preparing and holding them, so sadly it's not as easy to just turn the times around
The sessions calendar can always change though, and maybe someone will be available to hold sessions at a different time in a week or so

[chrome valley]

@chrome shadow pity

Yeah, last time I joined for dach times, but we stopped at around 7th lesson and never finished, so I hoped to finish it this time, but I'm trying to put my sleeping schedule in order, having lessons 1-4 am won't help with that 😂

I just wanted to point that out to @gaunt bridge in case he can move it, since kick off was at much more convenient 23h :)

But I guess from study groups you can see the timezones distribution at least for those interested in groups so it could be that not many from dach zones are there now...
I ain't in groups, not my thing :)

[gaunt bridge]

but I'm trying to put my sleeping schedule in order, having lessons 1-4 am won't help with that
@chrome valley Yeah, that's basically my issue with trying to run the sessions as well, lol. Ideal time for most people is in the 1-4am time period for me.

I appreciate the suggestions though.

The time that I did the Welcome Night was 7am for me, while the session time I chose for the rest of the weeks is 9am for me.

I could try to do 7am, but I'm worried that I can't keep that up for 2 whole months.

Because it means waking up 5 or 6am.

I could change it to 3pm my time, which is 7am for Germany and 10pm-2am for the US.

There are three other people who are considering running them, who are in different time zones. They haven't committed to dates/times yet though.

[fair hound]

I have a suggestion. Maybe you could open a voice channel for beginners? I tried to join a voice channel last night but the German there was too hard for me to understand. I want to practice speaking because I am learning German by myself irl 😀

[gaunt bridge]

Practice Room channels are the beginner-friendly channels.

We usually prefer not to name things "beginner" because then it makes it seem like only beginners can join. Which is a problem, because it's hard for beginners to learn if they're only talking with other beginners.

[silent glade]

On the subject earlier I’m intending to run sessions for complete beginners on Tuesday evenings (I’m in UTC+1) starting from around the 27th, both to serve people in European time zones and to help the people who join the server after the other courses are already started and find it harder to join in. They will be complete beginner sessions though, starting from absolutely nothing, teaching easy vocabulary, sentence structure, grammar, pronunciation, etc with a focus on eventually actually applying what knowledge we’ve learned in going over very easy texts, so that people can start getting an idea of what German should sound like. My aim is to try and help people to get to a point where they know how to continue on themselves or can join the other not beginner sections. I am intending to give homework to work on as well, probably in the form of mini stories to listen to or anki word lists, on the basis that if I want to achieve what I hope to, there isn’t enough time in 1h a week. I’ll have to see how the first few sessions go though to see how that turns out and to adjust my plans accordingly. I’m still fairly early on in my German career myself: understanding quite a lot, but still not so good at the outputting and not knowing all the later grammar from A1. I’m probably going to have a native speaker with me for most of the sessions to provide additional pronunciation help and so on, with him providing more help if he has the time. Having said that, like all session holders I’ll be volunteering my time and I have a life outside, so I can’t absolutely guarantee that time or how long I’ll be able to run sessions for depending on outside commitments.

:loudspeaker: BlueBottletop issued a ping for Reading

See above ⬆️ We wont have a reading session this weekend, we will start up again the weekend after 💕 ✨

[dusty oriole]

oh

[dusty oriole]

Saturday seems like a better day for me

[hidden latch]

Tintenherz or tintenblut would be nice to read

Harry Potter und der Stein der Weisen maybe

If that is too generic, could we read the first book of a series of unfortunate events in German? :)

[glad fjord]

Weve done a few sessions for Harry potter before, but we didnt get very far through the book, ill add it to the list

[hidden latch]

Ah sure that sounds good. What about the last book I mentioned?

[glad fjord]

Im not familiar with it, ill add it too

[hidden latch]

Thank you so much ^^

[plain forge]

Die Verwandlung
is nice

i love Franz Kafka

[glad fjord]

ive also listed a short story from him, it was interesting

[ancient light]

It has an even sadder ending than the little prince though lol

[glad fjord]

We can leave that part out

The whole thing is a little bit heavy tbh

[cold acorn]

I'm not in favour of HP, I have already read it, so have many people I'm sure. I'm curious about Tintenherz.

[glad fjord]

Things to note: both Tintenherz and die Unendliche Geschichte are quite long: 550+ pages

Thats quite a bit of commitment considering we read maximum 20 pages per week

And average about 12

[gaunt bridge]

That's like almost a year.

[glad fjord]

[craggy crater]

The series of unfortunate events would be cool. it's not too long, and I've read it in English so I have the context. I find that helpful when consuming german content. Having consumed something in english already helps

[midnight dune]

^^^

I wonder if the nice language the writer uses translates well to german

[inland wind]

I had an English muffin once does that count

[craggy crater]

Yes.

[inland wind]

[inland wind]

^ emote suggestion

[nimble pebble]

I find that this if often an issue of how good this translation is. It's really tough to convey things like that in a translation, but it's so awesome, when it's done well. That said, I haven't read it, neither in English nor in German

[nimble pebble]

loool

[craggy citrus]

I'd rather read a book originally written in German, it's just not the same otherwise

[nova edge]

@craggy citrus yeee I agree with you tbh. What I've always love about German is the way in which things can have wildly different meanings based on the readers interpretation of specific words. I've always argued that this is the reason why Germans/Austrians have always had the most influential philosophers of recent times. Of course oftentimes Germans are very straightforward and to the point, but when forming metaphors and questions, it can always become very subjective and thought provoking

[gaunt bridge]

I get what you're saying but other factors are important too. I'd rather read an interesting book that's translated than a boring book in the original language.

Especially because a lot of people aren't into reading these days and it can be hard for them to find something to keep them focused. In those cases, any book is good, if it keeps them reading (and the language is correct).

what does heritage speaker mean?

[chrome shadow]

purpose heritage speaker

[jovial zealot]

Information about Heritage Speaker

Heritage Speaker

Indicates members who are Heritage Speakers of German.
This means that they were exposed to the language from a very young age (e.g. by their parents) but usually don't consider it their native language and never learned German in a formal school setting for example.

You cannot assign yourself this role. You must ask a mod.

[supple gate]

oh so it’s like if you have a parent that speaks it so you can understand well but never could fully speak it yourself

gotcha 🙂

[proud egret]

im glad im not the only stupid one, lets go watch paint dry

[brazen notch]

https://www.grimmstories.com/language.php?grimm=089&l=en&r=de

[hushed oar]

my bad lol

[brazen notch]

As for book suggestions i’ve been researching and these are the ones consistently listed for intermediate learners :

“Faust 1. Der Tragödie erster Teil“ by Johann Wolfgang Goethe

“Die Arbeit der Nacht: Roman“ by Thomas Glavinic

“Siddhartha” by Hermann Hesse

Die Verwandlung - Kafka

Maybe this one could be a good pick?

[iron sphinx]

i mean german students usually read faust in 11th grade and for them its very boring

[brazen notch]

because of the vocabulary or the plot?

[craggy crater]

It seems a bit advanced.

[iron sphinx]

both

i mean its old german no one speaks it anymore

[iron sphinx]

i mean you could just watch a series on german

[brazen notch]

yes but we need to pick something for the book club (;

[iron sphinx]

oh

[glad fjord]

hmmm ive read some kafka, i found it quite hard and i dont think i could lead you guys through it at the level of detail you want

same with Faust

[iron sphinx]

read harry potter or sth like that in german

[glad fjord]

Hermann Hess is also in the same boat

[iron sphinx]

way more enjoyable

i mean faust was published in 1808

[hushed oar]

That's interesting, I second that 🙂

[glad fjord]

#community-discussion message heres what has already been suggested

[iron sphinx]

harry potter is pretty nice
grimms märchen are fairytales and idk how to read them just watch them on TV tbh

[glad fjord]

i could preread your suggestions @brazen notch and see how it goes, but rn i feel like i wouldnt be able to lead a reading of them

[craggy crater]

Yeah and you're C level. So for lower levels it would be really hard, I think.

[iron sphinx]

my first book in englisch was "gregs tagebuch" (gregs diary dk what its called in englisch)

[glad fjord]

But I'll need help with that one, because it's too big. There is a lot of unused space as it seems to me, but when I try to crop it, the transparency is lost

@hallow crag tagging you, since it was your suggestion~

However, thanks to whoever can make it go down to 256kb without messing it up

Hmm, I think I managed actually

Hello Bulli

[nimble pebble]

Hey, Trax

[obtuse granite]

I'd like to offer a "danke" emote for consideration. An example usage below as a reaction

(when not a reaction)

[midnight dune]

[fathom vector]

In theory, we could ping the Activities group for it, but it's a large group and people like games so is there a max player count? Though I suppose multiple parallel games are also an option.

[obtuse granite]

I was thinking of taking some nouns + verbs from the A1 Goethe Wortliste and loading up a closed group session with the server, so that only members of the server could join and not random people from elsewhere on the website. It would work best in smallish groups (10 max, otherwise games tend to take a while), but parallel games would definitely be possible as long as one person is willing to host each game

It's super quick and easy to set up - just copy/paste a list of words onto the game config and share the link for others to join

One other consideration is if enough people are interested and parallel games are wanted or needed, it would be ideal to have one discord voice channel per game so there isn't cross-chatter. Voice channels aren't required for skribbl.io, but it makes it more social and fun if people are in one while playing

[fathom vector]

Yeah, sounds reasonable. @gaunt bridge what do you think about pinging Activities for something like this?

[gaunt bridge]

Pinging Activities for games is good.

[fathom vector]

Okay @obtuse granite, then I'd say just give us a time when you'd like to do this and a short announcement text that essentially explains what the session is about for someone who might be unfamiliar with skribbl.

For example, here's how doodle announced a game before #lessons message
or how Base announced a movie
#lessons message

[obtuse granite]

Sounds good!

Time: Wednesday, July 28th at 17:00 PDT (UTC-7) / 00:00 UTC for roughly 1 hour

Blurb:

Hey all! I'm going to host a game on skribbl.io featuring vocab from the Goethe A1 Wortliste. In this game, one person chooses one of three words to draw while everyone else tries to guess the word based on the drawing, and everyone takes turns drawing. This is a great chance to learn or refresh your A1 vocab and have some fun at the same time. 

[inland wind]

i just saw this on another server. looks nice

[gaunt bridge]

Yeah, we have to wait for it to be rolled out before we can use it.

[balmy steppe]

I'm trying figure them out, it means that #general-2 will be gone

And #questions-2 will collapse as well

I'm not quite sure what they are, but it seems more like a organizational thing

[obtuse granite]

Hey @fathom vector, just double checking with you, did you see my message above? #community-discussion message
If it's too last minute to do an event today with no prior announcement, we can reschedule to next week same time to give more time to raise awareness

[nimble pebble]

Naww, it's alright. I'll reply in a moment @obtuse granite

@nimble pebble What's the usual procedure for starting the session? Do I need special permissions to use the lessons channel, or can I just hop into one of the casual VCs?

[nimble pebble]

You don't need special permissions for lessons. Will you need to be able to stream?

[obtuse granite]

Nope, no need for streaming

[nimble pebble]

Then everything's set I think!

[obtuse granite]

Veilen Dank ❤️

we'll ping again a little bit before the session is being held

You're welcome

But its OK I know global-scheduling is hard. Hope its super fun

[spring oar]

Yeah, hope the americans have fun :D

[gleaming viper]

Hey, I just wanted to say THANK YOU for doing the #study-tasks! My partner has been correcting my work so I'm not showing up as an "active user", but I've been going back through the months doing the A1 practice and I'm really enjoying it.

Just thought maybe somebody would see it and take it as an extra "user" even though I don't show up asking for corrections.

[fathom vector]

@obtuse granite hi, sorry I meant to deal with this last night but completely forgot, and I'm on vacation now.
A couple of things,
I've given you the session holder role and made you a moderator of the Activities group. Assuming Bulli hasn't broken it by making the session himself , you should be able to ping people. Feel free to do >help session now for a list of commands and we'll happily assist you if you have any questions.
Also please ping people in #lessons / #beginner-german or something, and not #community-discussion smh Bulli.

If @chrome shadow has some free time, maybe replace Bulli's ID with Birb's for the session in the DB?

[chrome shadow]

done

[silk willow]

does a mod mind removing my reading sessions tag please :(

Im on mobile and for a long time now ive been wanting to ask but didnt want to be annoying

Those bots that use the buttons just arent compatible on mobile

[glad fjord]

You can use >unsub reading if youd like

If the buttons arent working

[silk willow]

Ah thank you so much

[gaunt bridge]

Sorry but can you explain more? Have you updated your app recently?

I'm just wondering because if there are any issues, it's important for us to be aware of them.

[silk willow]

Yes, my app has been up to date

Mobile just doesnt support buttons i dont think.. and groovy's search feature thing with the dropdown list, i think thats tied in with the buttons as well - i cant acess that

I am as updated as it can get ; i have threads and everything

I dont think its a version issue

It was here as well

[nimble pebble]

Hmm, idk it works for me
I'm on IOS rn

[silk willow]

Weird..

[nimble pebble]

So no button for you, hmm

Are you on android btw?

[silk willow]

Yea maybe its an android thing

[nimble pebble]

I'd be surprised. I think it worked for others
However, can't really comment on that, so I'll just wait for others ^^

[silk willow]

Hmmmm

Wait i got the issue :|

Nevermind rip

My phone is just stupid

Im sorry for the hassle

Idk why it didnt fix itself in 2 months but

Very strange

[nimble pebble]

No worries! So it works now?

[gaunt bridge]

It's no problem at all. We're happy to hear if people have technical difficulties because it helps us to make sure everything is working as it should.

So thanks!

[silk willow]

im not gonna press the ticket button XD but hopefully yes, in case i do have to :)

if not, ill definitely dm a mod

thank you guys too for trying to help

[nimble pebble]

You'd still have to confirm it if you did ^^

[nimble pebble]

You're welcome :3

[pearl meteor]

Just as a recommendation, maybe a lesson about Perspectives like First-Person Singular

[glad fjord]

What do you mean? Like writing tips using first-person, or did you have a grammar topic in mind?

[pearl meteor]

Not quite sure what the term is, but not just using first person

all kinds of perspective

like the usage of "erste person singular," "zweite und dritte person plural" usw

[gaunt bridge]

Yeah but what Bluwu was asking is like... what do you mean by "usage"? Do you mean beginner grammar like just verb conjugation? Or do you mean something like, how to write a novel in different styles?

[pearl meteor]

As much as I would love to be instructed on how to write a novel in different styles

I meant beginner grammar

[gaunt bridge]

Ohh, okay. In that case, there are currently beginner grammar lessons already going on weekly.

Wir hatten das mal bei einem Event, welches hab ich mittlerweile vergessen, Halloween vielleicht 🤔 na ist egal welches es war, aber hauptsache verlieh all diese Emojis dem Server ein etwas überladenes Aussehen und eine Menge Leute haben sich darüber beschwert.

Ich bin selbst nicht gegen ein bisschen mehr Farbe hierzulande, ich liebe Farben, aber vielleicht ein Kompromiss wäre in Ordnung. Wie wäre es, wenn es ein Emoji neben jeder Kanal-Gruppe bzw. Resources, Community, General Discussion gäbe, anstatt neben jedem Kanal.
Das fände ich voll schön

Emote Vorschlag

[golden juniper]

Reading through the faq for past tense, it's occurred to me that even in places where more than modal verbs, wissen and denken are used in spoken German in Präteritum, they won't be used in the 2nd person singular or plural. Or at least, so it seems to me. For example, saying "ich sah, er sah, sie sahen" seems fine to me, but asking "Sahst du...?/Saht ihr...?" sounds extremely unusual to me. I mean, don't take my word for it, but I'd be surprised if many native speakers felt differently about this. :)

[sturdy storm]

can i have a vocabulary lesson im beginner

[gaunt bridge]

We don't provide private/one-on-one lessons but if a lesson holder is interested, they may see your request and create a public lesson about it.

[honest rivet]

like i said, could be fun

[gaunt bridge]

Hmm, yeah, doing stuff like that (checking the answers and so on) automatically might be hard. But I guess we could look into implementing something which can get random sentences from somewhere and do various string manipulations to them, without the bot actually checking anything people type.

Like if you just purely want to get sentences, it could be possible.

[midnight dune]

What would a vocabulary lesson look like to you, going over themes like work, school, nature etc.?

Sorry for a late reply on that. I'll look into it when I have some time and see if there's a good place to put that.

[lost lichen]

Would it be possible to have C2 level lessons in the server please?

[solar hedge]

I have a cool idea for a class but I don't have the time to moderate, what do?

the class will mostly be geared towards intermediate to advanced learners

[gaunt bridge]

What's your idea?

[glad fjord]

Theres an advanced level reading group on saturdays 21:00 UTC

Did you have anything in mind, what a c2 lesson would look like

[lost lichen]

i dont know, really

maybe a discussion about a topic?

a presentation maybe, and then the teacher makes comments etc..

[lost lichen]

what exactly is a reading group?

I am preparing for the C2 exam, what do you think could help me?

[glad fjord]

Theres a little group and you take turns reading from the book and then summarise what you read in german. And any new words will (mostly) be explained in german. The whole session is run in German too

[lost lichen]

that sounds terribly good

[glad fjord]

I dont know whats in a c2 exam so idk if it will help, its a bit of a comprehension and spontaneous speaking exersise

[lost lichen]

C2 exam is Muttersprache Niveau

its the German Proficiency

in Europe there are 6 levels

[glad fjord]

I know what it is, but not whats in the exam

[lost lichen]

ah okay then

the Reading Group is a good start

do I have to register for that, or i just hop in?

[glad fjord]

Just join at the session time

[lost lichen]

ok thanks

[glad fjord]

I usually ask people who want to read to put the letter V (steht für Vorlesen) in front of their nickname

[lost lichen]

what does Grüwüleinchen mean

[glad fjord]

Nothing really grün + uwu + lein + chen

[lost lichen]

its like an umlaut festival

you are moderating the Reading group?

[glad fjord]

Yeah i run it

[lost lichen]

ok I will join tommorrow

its midnight in Germany

but I can manage

thanks again 🙂

[glad fjord]

In Germany it starts at about 11 and usually runs for 1.5 hrs

[lost lichen]

its manageable

[golden juniper]

No problem, it isn't urgent, is it? I just thought it might be worth mentioning. :)

[solar hedge]

Okay, so I hope this captures the idea completely because I really think its good practice. This is how the session would be run:
We start off by reading an article/story with a degree of complexity that is suitable to the levels present (preferably B1-C2) and make sure we have enough time to understand it's meaning and the note down the words/expressions that are new to us. Once we are able to do that, we move on to the next stage where we try to express our ideas/opinions on the text and talk at length on the matter, whilst having the new words im Auge, trying to use them as we move about. A list of fixed expressions can be handy here as well, things like Redemittel for Meinung Ausdrücken or disagreeing with an expressed opinion. Conjunctions that are rarely used by the learners can also prove helpful. Maybe sentence structures as well, I don't know, anything that is useful to add to a persons speaking repertoire.

So here is maybe a layout:

Article reading and comprehension - 20 minutes
time to prepare opinion - 5 minutes
turns to express opinions - 20 minutes total ( each person 3 minutes uninterrupted)
rinse and repeat till session ends

This is very similar to Bluhu's reading sessions already, but I feel this will focus more on the Ausdrücken part than it does with the reading.

If anyone has any questions, or refinements or anything to the idea please do share!

[glad fjord]

Its a fun idea! I feel like using a stage for this would be good

Else it might be rife with interruptions

Sometimes for the reading group, i cant get anyone who wants to do the explaining part

Which can be frustrating, cause i only cycle through the same few readers for the whole session. But that problem would probably be solved by naming the event differently so people know what the focus is

[solar hedge]

We can have timers set up and make sure everyone is well briefed

I think no one likes to do the explaining part because it's definitely a lot harder, but that's how we get better at speaking, right?

your sessions have definitely have helped me push in that direction I feel

[glad fjord]

lovely to hear, thats why theyre here!

i had an idea for this too, you could pick some current arrairs like articles or some popular science type articles (the ones for laymans) and we could discuss those

https://www.spektrum.de/
sowas meine ich

[midnight dune]

this sounds like a really cool idea

[wicked sentinel]

So, I am not sure how threads are used exactly, but would it be easier to use it instead of having for example questions 1 and questions 2?

[chrome shadow]

threads do come with a few downsides, the biggest one being that @jovial zealot doesn't support them yet, which is a deal breaker for now

[wicked sentinel]

oh, ok ok

Rasterize before it starts touching the edges. 😌 I'd probably put it in an oversized transparent canvas, rasterize and then trim off empty space.

You have some time though~

[dusty oriole]

the second one lol

[nimble pebble]

There are two emote suggestions! :p

[cinder olive]

Bin dafür neben Google-Docs auch .pdf-Dokumente in #corrections zu erlauben

Weiß gar nicht ob ich hier richtig bin mit dem Vorschlag

[fathom vector]

PDFs are not really ideal, since they can't be easily modified/corrected by the correctors like google docs (some editors produce PDFs that you can't even copy text out of properly), and they're a potential security risk, since there's a lot you can do with a PDF, so that's why we prefer gdocs. Still, we introduced a feature today that automatically creates documents with the correct permissions from texts that the users paste in, so no one really has to worry about that anymore, just paste in the raw text and that's it.

[midnight dune]

So there's a lot of importance placed on pieces of writing having ease of interactibility with the format posted, however I still do not see any arguements for why corrections are improved or helped when this is the case. It still seems that the listed benefits are purely preferencial. I still stand by the point of view that as long as the text is clear and navigatable for the corrector, it is able to be corrected, if not on the document itself, in the #corrections channel like has been done for years on this server.

For clarity, by ease of interactibility I do mean the ability to edit or comment on the document itself. Your point on some formats not allowing copypaste is valid, however is not a deal-breaker in itself for whether or not the text can be corrected.

[midnight dune]

@Arrem#4798 won't let me ping you

[fathom vector]

It's uniform, safe, there's edit history, an option to comment instead of editing the text directly and an option to color code corrections. While I don't like correcting with comments, there are lots of people who do and it's the recommended style in the how to correct a text guide.

And of course it works for any number of characters and not just the 2/4k limit that Discord imposes. So you don't have to jump through hoops to post a text, and as a corrector you can just correct the whole thing instead of potentially having to deliver a list of corrections, in which things are a lot easier to miss.

[midnight dune]

What do you mean by uniform and safe, and why couldn't corrections via discord messages account for the same? Ditto for the edit history and this is where I would say discord has the biggest advantage over gdocs. Names on discord rarely coincide with the name someone has on their Google account. It's either their real name, a different screen name, or in the majority case, an anonymous contribution. In each case, at least correcting from discord the user who submitted a text has the option of reaching out to the corrector directly, and discord users can be held accountable for mistakes or lack of clarification.

I agree, there are people who prefer correcting with comments, but this is again simply preference, and doesn't serve to solve the existing problems on the channel if we enforce only this one way. On the contrary, every single alternative, of which there are many, will now have to be individually accounted for and alternate solutions must be implemented to work around it.

I do not believe the sensible way forward will be just to disallow everything else. The consequences will be that this is somethingwe will have inform users on over and over again. We have created a system with a perpetually higher workload to maintain.

Forgot something else:

not just the 2k/4k limit
Why don't we just have using Google docs as a reccomendation for texts this size. Enforcing this on everyone when it only applies to the minority seems redundant.

[fathom vector]

I don't get why you're so strongly in favor of plain Discord over the bot just converting a message into a Google doc which is what happens right now?

[midnight dune]

I'm not just making an arguement for plain text, my overall arguement is for letting people choose their formats as long as the text itself is coherent and accessible, as I believe all options listed here are just as valid as their counterparts

[midnight dune]

^ keep for getting to comment

[knotty jackal]

I think General should allow Latin.

[glad fjord]

Why?

[knotty jackal]

Even if I am alone in this protest, I feel compelled to make this point. As a historically important lingua franca for Europe and the English speaking world I believe that GlaD, as the bastion of Language learning it is should encourage the retention of Latin as a language that can be used as an equal medium of exchange. Latin is experiencing somewhat of a revival nowadays I believe, and I have seen a lot of people on GlaD that Learned Latin in school or are learning Latin independently. GlaD might be one of the few forums in this day and age that even could use Latin as a medium of exchange! It surely wouldn't outshine German or English. I also believe that Latin would be fairly easy to moderate. Or it wouldn't be too hard to find a helper to help moderate the Latin chat.

[glossy arrow]

I doubt that many people here speak Latin

And as you know, there are several Latin servers

[inland wind]

as the bastion of Language learning
but GLaD is specifically a German learning server, not a general language learning server

[glossy arrow]

exactly

[knotty jackal]

Tons of people I have meant have taken Latin in school are learning it independently. There are plenty of Latin Severs but that is completely besides the point for me. Not 100 years ago had this forum been in person Latin would have certainly been one of the Auxiliary Languages. Latin would be useful as an additional language for exchange between German and English.

[glossy arrow]

...

[knotty jackal]

I disagree

[tropic bobcat]

Most germans know English and most English speakers that are learning German don't know latin

Where in the world are you meeting this many Latin speakers

[knotty jackal]

VC. Search Latin in General.

[inland wind]

Tons of people I have meant have taken Latin in school are learning it independently.
how many people speak the language isn't really relevant to the point here, because if you want to discuss that point then there are many other languages that a lot of members here share in common like Turkish or French for example.

[glossy arrow]

Many people in German learn "Latin" in school, but that isn't speaking, not even reading, it's translating

[knotty jackal]

Latin has use as an academic language and reading historical texts. Some Latin terminology is required for some fields.

[glossy arrow]

Yeah, some fields

[tropic bobcat]

You're very very misconstrued about how many Latin speakers there are

English is far more universal

[glad fjord]

allow turkish in general :pepekalp:

[tropic bobcat]

And 100 other languages es

[inland wind]

if we want to take into consideration that Latin was an important language in Europe, then the same can be said for other languages. French and Spanish for example are also still widely spoken today

[chrome shadow]

feel free to use #other-languages and/or #languages
that being said, it's not gonna happen in #general

[knotty jackal]

Latin also has the advantage of being a dead Language, which means it has no, or hardly any native speakers. It is a EQUAL language of exchange. The same cannot be said about any living language

[tropic bobcat]

Equal as in everyone is equally bad at it because no one speaks it

Gr8

[knotty jackal]

I think it's somewhat anti intellectual to just trash on Latin :^)

[tropic bobcat]

Anti intellectual to assert that Latin would be at all useful as an auxiliary language in the 21st century

[knotty jackal]

It could be but things like this happen.

[glossy arrow]

For someone who never wrote a single message on a Latin server, you have a really strong opinion about that

[knotty jackal]

Oh well. Case closed.

[inland wind]

i don't think anyone is trashing on latin. it simply has no real place in the server. we're not stopping latin enthusiasts to have full conversations and discussions in latin in #other-languages

and yeah a dedicated latin server would be much, much better for people to get together and learn it

[tropic bobcat]

I think Latin is super cool as I like researching ancient languages

[glossy arrow]

(there are many)

[tropic bobcat]

That doesn't make it any less useless on a global server

Since Latin likely is intelligibly spoken by at most a couple million

[glossy arrow]

I love Latin and spend most of my free time learning to speak it (because five years of Latin in school didn't teach me that) but that doesn't change my opinion

[knotty jackal]

I-

Okay

I this this interaction is a good example of why nobody speaks Latin anymore

[tropic bobcat]

Majority of the catholic clergy in the Vatican can't even hold oral conversations in Latin

They're the only people that are even required to know it

In the world

[vagrant python]

es gibt übrigens einen Server für Latin

https://discord.gg/latin

[tropic bobcat]

They don't want that

They want to speak Latin in #general

[knotty jackal]

• I want others to be able to speak Latin in #general

[vagrant python]

ich weiß, aber da kann man stattdessen sein Lateinisch üben

[tropic bobcat]

The amount of people thar are learning german and know Latin enough to have complicated conversations about grammar in Latin while also knowing no english

Are probably in the dozens

If that

In the whole world

[static dove]

im not sure if it would be easy to moderate at all since most translators are absolute trash at latin

[tropic bobcat]

That's because literally no one in the world knows proper Latin lol

Some of it is still guesswork

[fathom vector]

Next time there's a German pope, they'll be fairly good at both German and Latin, and we'll write them a letter asking them to join GLaD.

[static dove]

im sure @fathom vector would love to learn latin and moderate general

[vagrant python]

@static dovehast du dich freiwillig gemeldet, Lateinisch zu lernen und #general zu moderieren?

[static dove]

i had a C in my latinum

[chrome shadow]

so you passed, good enough

[knotty jackal]

ten minutes in and a mod says no ... Why even have this channel?

[static dove]

half of the ppl who took it didnt

[static dove]

for a mod to tell you no when ur suggestion isnt good

[knotty jackal]

Lol

[tropic bobcat]

This channel exists for good suggestions!

Yours sadly was not one

But keep em coming 👀

[knotty jackal]

I didn't really think that my proposal had much of a chance but I believed in it...

[tropic bobcat]

That's what matters most

Ya got gumption

[static dove]

at least u didnt suggest a meme channel

[tropic bobcat]

The point is, adding Latin would help such a small amount of people if they even exist

Why add that over Spanish for example

[chrome shadow]

well sadly it's completely out of scope for this server so I wanted to save everyone some time
ideas and feedback are always encouraged and welcome, but they have to be reasonable

[dusty oriole]

dicis neminem loqui latine posse?

[tropic bobcat]

And like the other person said hard to moderate

[static dove]

im the other person

[dusty oriole]

isnt this a german server

what

[static dove]

u and me both bestie

[knotty jackal]

Eh, fair enough.

[dusty oriole]

as someone who speaks latin at an a2-b1 level fluent latin speakers number less than 1000

[dusty oriole]

and people who speak latin as good as they would say, their native language number even less (look up luigi miraglia, daniel pettersson, wilfried stroh)

so why would one advocate for latin in a german server

[knotty jackal]

IT'S BEEN NOT AN HOUR SINCE I'VE POSTED AND WE ALREADY HAVE TWO LATIN SPEAKERS THAT HAVE SPOKEN AGAINST ME

THIS WAS TRIGGERED BY A LATIN SPEAKER IN GENERAL

ET TU LEAFES?

Please stop stabbing Latin to death in front of me I'm already sad enough

[dusty oriole]

quid velis dicere de sermone latino coram me?

[static dove]

its ok its not latins fault that its useless and hard to learn and no one likes it

[dusty oriole]

shots fired yall

i like latin tho

its an epic language

[inland wind]

who is the CEO of useless i will speak to them

[static dove]

unfortunately that might be me i think

[tropic bobcat]

Fluent sure but I said intelligible

I would like to think I'm somewhat ineligible in german

Definitely not fluent

Intelligible

[dusty oriole]

still, intelligible, definitely less than 25k i would say

[dusty oriole]

also:
latin is dead
and that's where the beauty of it comes from
miraglia succinctly explained this saying 'lingua latina est maximi emolumenti--quod non mutatur' (latin is at a very great advantage bc it doesnt change)

[knotty jackal]

Genau.

[dusty oriole]

i would add to this saying 'lingua latina est maximi emolumenti quod nondum potest intellegi aliquo 'google translate' utens

[knotty jackal]

And there are (almost) no natives, everyone is a learner, or was once. It's a equal language for speaking with those of another language

[dusty oriole]

is it, though?
first of all it's very much tied to european culture, and not everyone is european

[inland wind]

.

[tropic bobcat]

There are 0 natives

[static dove]

thats why there r servers just for that

[dusty oriole]

well yeah but actually maybe not

[tropic bobcat]

No 0

[dusty oriole]

there's the life in latin kid

there r the students at weston

there's that one guy i keep forgetting the name of

[tropic bobcat]

Native speakers must come from a community that speaks the language

[dusty oriole]

it varies on how you'd define native really

[dusty oriole]

then there isn't any, you're right

[knotty jackal]

Yeah it's not totally equal but more so than say, English.

[tropic bobcat]

And Latin stopped existing a long time ago as it evolved into vulgar Latin etc

[dusty oriole]

but if only parents are needed: this kid is a native

[tropic bobcat]

It's far far FAR less equal than English

English is regularly spoken on every continent

Latin is on 0

[knotty jackal]

okay true. not the Latin on 0 part

[dusty oriole]

~~latin is regularly spoken and is the lingua franca in accademia vivarium novum where i studied it (albeit online)
~~

so maybe europe counts

[tropic bobcat]

You greet, party, order food, write all assignments in Latin?

Etc

Hey that's Latin

[dusty oriole]

if you were to take the schoolyear at AVN, yes, definitely

[dusty oriole]

[dusty oriole]

or at schola nova in belgium

or in polis (in jerusalem) i think? but i really dont know how things are like in polis

[tropic bobcat]

Even if you are counting these offshoot universities, that's incredibly restrictive and assumes everyone can afford such

[dusty oriole]

AVN
is completely free for all its students

sponsored by rich people who do pay to go to their summer course

i didnt pay to go to their summer course they gave it to me and 25 other people for free and as an exception (in my case bc im just too cool 😎)

[knotty jackal]

If you are an A level Latin speaker and see this leave a emoji, if you are a B level Latin speaker and see this leave a Emoji. if you are a C level Latin speaker leave a Emoji. Just Curious

[dusty oriole]

what do these levels mean sorry i'm only acquainted with CEFR

or is a = a1-a2 etc

[knotty jackal]

this

[dusty oriole]

oh ok

[inland wind]

considering that this is less of an actual suggestion for a server implementation anymore, maybe #general-2 is a better place to carry on this conversation

[dusty oriole]

@torpid wagon @glossy arrow

[dusty oriole]

yep

[knotty jackal]

I was done with that message. Maybe if it gets enough reacts my it will become more of an actual suggestion for server implementation. I would also just like to add that this recommendation was made entirely in good faith. I honestly expected no reply. Obviously we all have some very strong feelings about the Latin language. Aber doch noch, wir sind alle bruddis im deutsch! Gute Nacht Jeder!
