18:22 Freundin can mean Girlfriend, but it can also just mean female friend. It doesn't specify if you're in a relationship or not. It's actually a bit confusing in German in my opinion as a native speaker. There are a few weird situations where you have to specify because there's not really a distinction between a male friend and a boyfriend or a female friend and a girlfriend like in English. It's all just "Freund" or "Freundin".

[@julianfinke7802]

you say meine freundin (girlfriend) , eine freundin (female friend) one letter makes a big difference

[@wasikancb]

@@julianfinke7802 yeah, but it's not that simple. "meine Freundin" can also mean "my female friend" and "eine Freundin" can also mean "a girlfriend", it's really dependent on context. Just adding "my" or "a" doesn't always work. Most of the times you can make that distinction, but sometimes it may still be a bit awkward. And also what about speaking about someone else? If you say "seine Freundin" it can again mean "his female friend" or "his girlfriend". It's all context.

[@kkimziiye]

you can say "eine Freundin/ein Freund von mir" to make it clear that its not a girl/boyfriend, right? i'm still learning german

[@wasikancb]

@@kkimziiye yes you can. I mean literally it could still mean "a girlfriend/boyfriend of me" but since that's a bit weird to say it would generally mean a female/male friend. As long as you are not having multiple girlfriends/boyfriends and talking about one of them it would just mean friend.

[@SuperWojtek64]

12:36 exactly so here are my tips as fellow german: pronounce "Z" like a "ts", a "Ö" like a "O" but if you'd slightly vomit while saying it, "ch" similar to a "sh" in english but softer and simply lower the tip of your tongue, an "e" is often pronouced like you (with your northern english dialect) pronounce the "ai" in Spain

[@Orincaby]

"ch" sound is closer to the first consonant of "hue" - it's like a palatal fricative produced half way back in the mouth

I'm learning italian in Duolingo, and on about day 300 it taught me the word "E-Mail" 💀 Also I am a German speaker, and you are pronouncing it perfectly according to what Duolingo is teaching you. For some reason it seems like Duolingo chose one specific German accent, and turned it up to 11. While it is true that many germans can't really pronounce "ch", Duolingo turns it up to 11 and just straight up turns it into a "sch". Many germans that can't really pronounce the "ch" say it as kind of a mix between "ch" and "sch". But like I said for some reason Duolingo just straight up turns it into a "sch".

I don't blame you on the timed wordpair maching lessons. I'm a native German speaker and am fluent in English, and I just tried the one on the first unit in the English course (Didn't want to start a German course just for testing. Had the English one already) and I didn't even get one star on the first try. It's basically almost impossible to get 3 stars without buying the time boosts. I started on duolingo with the english (german) course years ago but pretty much never did it. I recently just skipped everything and completed it because why not. I now do the Japanese (English) course and the "only doing 2 minutes every day after the motivation dies down" is really relatable. I'm just doing the kanji practice because it's quick and I don't necessarily need sound so I can do it wherever, just to keep my 564 day streak going.

20:36 I can really relate with this, because I live in Slovakia, but I am Hungarian, so I'v been learning Slovakian since I was a little kid. Slovakian also has these Feminine Masculine and neutral things, and it makes NO SENSE! I mean only Masuline has the option to write (only write, if u are speaking its the same) someone is living or not. For example you have to write Man and Man (dead) differently. If you accidentaly put an i instead of a y, ongrats hes now dead, you killed him, Oh and the same thing applies for the feminine and Neutral, but its not about living or not, Its about plural or not, so its really fricking easy to mess it up. And there are some words that are "exeptions" FOR NO REASON, for these words some rules of grammar simply DONT APPLY. Sorry I just have enough of this... Please send help.

[@FlyingNote]

So far, I have been learning Japanese with Duolingo (and other sources) for 3 years, but only last year did it become a huge thing in my life, my current streak is 574 (45-60 mins per day ALWAYS). Jack’s 1,000 day streak is an incredible feat, but the true determiner of language proficiency is motivation. Jack clearly ran out of motivation, but had a great run nevertheless.

[@MusicLvr-d5z]

Congrats Jack. my streak is at 1800+ days currently (i was very happy when it turned to "5 years+" in the leaderboards recently), but i switched languages a lot, i've been learning mainly spanish, but also a bit of italian, vietnamese, russian and even one lesson danish and greek, so yeah, keeping motivation high in just one language is quite hard, i can relate. if i just want to keep my streak going i cheat with some easy english lesson. i'm german btw :D

[@jacobtinkle9686]

18:20 My friend (female) and my girlfriend actually both mean "Meine Freundin" in german, we don´t really have a way to distinguish between the too, same thing with my friend (male) and my boyfriend ="Mein Freund". Some adjectives i would say would make distinguishing easier, for example "Meine gute Freundin", my good friend, would almost never be said with the meaning My girlfriend. Hope that helps!

I have to say I really respect that youre trying to learn german cause most people either basically quit right away or dont start at all because it has a pretty bad reputation for being really hard. As a german myself I have to say youre doing really good. Ive got just two small tips for you maybe try to pronounce the Z more like you would a ts so like in the word its in english also if you ever have the chance to talk to a native german speaker use that as an opportunity to talk german to them cause thats the way you actually learn a language and start understand it really well also you get more comfortable speaking it fluently.

It’s due to the erosion of case endings in end of the Old English period. A decent bit of languages do not have noun classes, actually, such as Sino-Tibetan languages, Japonic languages, Koreanic languages, Bengali (technically older words do but people generally use the masculine as the gender neutral), Tagalog and other Philippines languages (excluding Spanish loans), Persian, Armenian, Finnish (and other Uralic languages), Turko-Monglic languages (Turkish, Mongolian, Sakha, Uyghur, Qazaq, &c), Georgian, Swahili, and many many others. Grammatical gender is quite common but also not the majority.

17:34 So... Adding the -in at the end of a profession or in general of some words, called "gendering" is somewhat controversial. You basically always use the -in if talking about one singular female person, and also -innen (the plural version of -in) if talking about a group of females. But if talking about a mixed group, some people hang on the the old standard of the generic masculinum, just ditching the -innen in the plural, while the more progressive approach is to say the plural in masculine and feminine form. Example: My group of roommates, some of which are female and some are male: "Meine Mitbewohnerinnen und Mitbewohner" (My rommates (female) and roommates (male)). This concept also sometimes exists in english, think of "Actor" and "Actress"

[@discofish]

yeah we do actually use all those gendered words in german. pretty much every noun that describes a person has a female and male variation. sadly, it's still quite common to only use the male version when addressing everyone, which obviously excludes non-male people. that's why a lot of people have been trying to come up with a solution for that problem and instead of using both words like "Lehrerinnen und Lehrer" they combine that to "Lehrer*innen". there's been political discussions about this for a while as some people say it looks ugly and destroys the flow of the language. in my state, it's even forbidden to use it in school/university. ridiculous in my opinion, it's just an attempt to make our language more inclusive

You could still do the daily duolingo lesson, but I would just watch a lot of german content like youtube and movies. I managed to get my english up to better than some native speakers with this technique, started with the base stuff from school, and then just pretty much only watched English content and still do to the point where i even think in english. Immersion is also going to help on your pronounciation. Tschüss!

Jack sounds like the other students in my German class who barely pay attention to our teacher

As a Dane who’s also learning german on Duolingo, its fun to see the different learning curves for both of us. Im only on day 60 and i know about as much as Jack.
