How I Study German 🇩🇪📚 (Resources + Tips)

[@randomreads2]

idk why German is so easy to forget. I forgot 4 months worth of German after a TWO WEEK break...lol

[@elyssedavega]

Hope Ouapou you’re so right 😭 that’s why it’s always on weekend maintenance when i study other languages!

[@VishalSharma-mj2lv]

😅👍yeah, so (atleast) keep listening smthn in German

[@daphneam3571]

Same experience... Due to some obligations I needed to take a pause from Deutsch for about 6 months. Before that I reached almost B2 level. After 6 months when I decided to continue I've realised that I forgot almost everything... So I've started from the beginning... It is not literaly that I forgot everything but most of the things YES.

[@girlnextdoor2836]

Wiederholung Wiederholung 😁😁 I have the same issue but now l keep going through the syllabus over and over.Keep reading and doing German exercises.

[@anna84259]

Umm Idk I continued learning German after a 3 years break, and while I think I forgot it mostly, it's still a lot easier to relearn, plus sometimes words & sentences just randomly pop out of nothing in my head.

[@helenalewinska4925]

fun fact: many people say german sounds angry but as a polish native speaker i can say that germans speaking polish sound sooooo soft and i realised how soft german really is after hearing it

[@hazelsky5644]

Same! I think German sounds very elegant and posh but i also believe it has the potential to sound very intimidating when necessary. That is what pulls me to the language ;)

I'm not English, that's why my English isn't good, I'm German. I just wanted to say that I know that German is a difficult language. I have a hard time with English, although it is an easy language compared to German. But I'm always impressed by how enthusiastic people are about my mother tongue. A tip for everyone who wants to learn it, read books, try to integrate German into your everyday life and don't be afraid. Everyone in Germany/Austria will be impressed by your language skills, whether you have problems speaking or an accent. What I personally find very funny is that almost no German knows the right grammar, so don't stress yourself too much, it's not bad to make mistakes.

For listening to German music: The Girl group "Tic Tac Toe" made German Rap in the late 1980s. Look for songs you like and look for the lyrics - like the song "Ich find dich scheisse".

"what's the difference between Einsamkeit and allein sein" - That caught me off guard :D I didn't expect anything so poetic at this point.

[@keanudutado4127]

Well, first off "Einsamkeit" is a noun and "allein sein" is an adjective. So im gonna explain you that with the adjective form of "Einsamkeit" which is "einsam". If someone is "einsam" that means this person is (almost) constantly alone and thus have a bad feeling resulting out of this loneliness. If someone is "alleine" that means he is physically alone at a certain moment. I come from Germany so you can believe me that im right.

[@amarYsium]

@@keanudutado4127 Jo da kann ich nur zustimmen.

[@keanudutado4127]

Here is and example: "Er ist einsam und ist deswegen depressiv" and for "allein sein" : "Er ist alleine in der Bücherhalle." However here comes the tough thing: "Er einsam, weil er alleine ist" (He´s lonely bc he is alone)

[@Vlog1cal]

regarding the outdated grammar book: I think it should be fine for the most stuff, but there have been some changes it the last decades mostly to when words are divided by a space or not and whether some words are written with a capital letter or not. Additionally there were some attempts to standardize spellings of words using s, ss or ß. As far as I know these are the mature changes (there are also a lot of minor changes once in a while), so it should be still fine using it for most grammar, but be aware that some words use old spelling/grammar rules.

I recently graduated from university with a specialization in Middle Eastern Studies; Minor in Arabic. I wouldn't say that I'm advanced after taking 3 years of Arabic, but I'm continuing my education in it. I was recently told by an instructor of mine that he would not consider me a novice Arabic speaker anymore so that made me feel good that I'm progressing. I think you nailed it here with what it takes to level up so to speak in language learning. It honestly takes a bit of time. After I attain higher levels of Arabic(Superior to near Native) then I would like to tackle German! Not just because I need it for graduate school, but because I actually enjoy German and many German things from classical music, philosophers, literature, architecture, history, etc.

"Everybody loves grammar" Whaat? 😅 I think it's the other way around. Probably you are one of the few lucky people who gets to enjoy the most tedious part about language learning. Btw, thanks for your tips 😋

Idk man it's pretty nifty to sit down and study

[@sofiaruhh300]

@@Matheus_Braz Of course, but not grammar 🙂

I'm rather sure she was being ironic, mate

Grammar is a lot like cardio…you either love it or you hate it but you can never get away from it😂

[@cesarrivera2004]

"How to actually study a language video" Elysse: Don't use Duolingo This video Elysse: I do Duolingo

[@Anuaiyer2]

Honestly, She's right. Duolingo doesn't help you learn the language effeciently, but it's good for practice. Especially now that they've introduced Duolingo Stories. That's interesting to keep you motivated and assessing the basic knowledge of german language.
