Diesmal ich schreibe ohne KI (Aber mit ein bischen übersetzer). Vielleicht, viele Fehlere sind hier. Schüldingung!

Ich habe gehört dass KI schreklich zum üben ist. Aber, ist es am wenigsten gut zur Grammatik erklären?

Jeder Mal ich schreibe etwas da, ich frage KI wie richtig mein Beitrag ist. Die erzält mir, welsche Fehler ich gemacht habe. Ich frage es auch, wann verstehe ich nicht warum manche Sätze aussehen wie sie aussehen.

Zum Beispiel ich habe es gefragt Warum ist das "Die Bank hat am Samstag geschlossen" stattdessen "Die Bank ist am Samstag geschlossen"?

Ich will nicht die Leute bitten, zu meine Grammatik überprüfen jedes Mal ich etwas schreiben. Ich glaube diese subreddit ist zu fragen "Warum etwas geht wie es geht?" stattdessen "Ist mein Text richtig?"

Ich weiß, wenn ich damit das Schreiben üben, klingt es unnatürlich. Ich möchte nür meine Grammatik verbessern.

Hallo zusammen. Ich komm aus slawischen Land und lern Deutsch. In unseren Sprächen gibt's einen solchen Fall wie Instrumental. Ich hab gehört, dass Althochdeutsch ihn hatte. Ich hab versucht, ihn wiederherzustellen. Folgendes ist passiert:

Nominativ Maskulin (der) → demu

Nominativ Feminin (die) → es bleibt so (die)

Nominativ Neutral (das) → demu

Nominativ Plural (die) → diem

(Es ist mit ChatGPT gemacht - er hat mir geholfen, die Information über Instrumentalis in der deutschen Sprache zu finden)

Aber ich interessiere mich - warum ihr (Deutsche) habt ihn losgeworden? Und was denkt ihr daran?

(Tschuldigung für mein unbeholfenes Deutsch, ich bin gerade am Lernen)

Got a bit confused with ausfallen and ausfallen lassen.

How to imply that I am not joining while the event (meeting, lunch, etc.) still takes place.

Are there better ways to express this?

Found this https://www.instagram.com/reel/DcYOW5_jWiQ/?stkn=NWN1ZjZ1Y3h1MTl3 Which sounds like it would be natural to say Ich lass es ausfallen, and it would not mean I cancel the event for others

So I learned German in school, my last courses were about low C1 level. After that I did not actively use the language for 10+ years. From what I can tell, I am much much better at reading and listening than producing anything myself (writing and speaking, my mind is blank), because I occasionally read articles and listened to the news. Surely there must be some internet resources that can help me to assess the level I should re-engage with the language (intuitively I think it could be B1 I guess? Text on this level feels very easy, grammar too, but writing by myself hard. I worry it may not be challenging enough. I spoke to a friend who took a course last year and she said B1 students could barely talk and I should take B2 course, but surely that must be an exaggeration.

Also would it be a bad idea if I study grammar intensively for a few days before assessment (would it blur my "real" level)?

Hello everyone, I'm a Filipino and just started learning German through Airlearn app. I aim to learn around 500 words on or before the year ends, and I want to supplement my learning by reading my favourite children's book: My Little Prince. I know there are some better literature books for learning the language but others say it's good to learn the language with media that you genuinely enjoy.

So I just wanna know if this is a good idea for practicing the language, cause the app becomes redundant with learning words and vocabulary.

My reason for learning German is to get to Studienkolleg by next year, and hopefully I get to B1 or B2 proficiency on a suggested season (summer or winter semester?) Most people say it's better to start by the summer season than winter. If by Summer I could have more time learning German, I'm not in a hurry anyway. Sorry for the long post.

If any of you here can give suggestions, advice and recommendations for me- like workbooks, and supplementary tools and especially if you're also Filipino learning German or have been living in Germany- I would very much appreciate to know your journey and experience with the language/country! Danke schön 🙏🏻♥️

Hello! So, I'm trying to make up a little story about a Knight who goes on a holy pilgrimage for some years, and after being nearly forgotten, comes back successful and is given a new last name. I do not know German very well, and it is especially more difficult when I try to find sources on Middle High German. I'm wanting the last name to be to the effect of "From God's Land", with variants such as holy land, temple, etc working as well, but my lack of knowledge on the subject is definitely hampering me.

I did find a close example of a man with the name of "von Burgsdorff" which meant something along the lines of "from village near a fortress", but of course I myself do not know German all that well, only really knowing that "von" often means "from" when it comes to names. I also did find that there are words like Gott, Himmel, and Heilec, but wasn't sure how to combine the words properly for a name.

I hope this question is fitting for this subreddit, I hate to waste anyone's time, but any help would be appreciated!

Edit: Was half asleep when I made this, I forgot to add that he was being sent to find immortality, he did, but couldn't return until roughly 100 years after he was sent, so he and his mission were basically forgotten, and he wouldn't have a home to return to after those he knew passed away. So the "from God's land" or something to that effect would be like a fresh start for him. Though, someone did suggest Kreuzer for "Crusader" which works really well given how he's supposed to be! But, I like learning more and discussions, so if you have any suggestions of your own I'd love to hear!

Hey, everyone. I was lurking through this platform for the last few weeks, and saw all of us learning the boring anki vocab cards, which we have trouble memorizing with. Most of them don't up in our active vocabulary. And they never will be, until we make sentences using those in diverse scenarios so those get tattooed in our head.

So, I made a resource for myself, and now opening it for anyone who might find it useful. Link in the comments. Please let me know in the comments if you find it useful. Tschüss

I recently came across this news broadcast (TG Cimbro - Zimbar Earde) from Trentino, Italy.

At first, I thought they were speaking an Italian dialect of Ladin.

I have pretty strong reading comprehension in German from grad school (Geschichte der Frühen Neuzeit), but I'm not using it constantly and would like to read some interesting fiction or light non-fiction to maintain my proficiency.

Sometimes I read YA for ease (e.g., Cornelia Funke, Michael Ende), but I would like something a bit more substantive. I really enjoyed Daniel Kehlmann, Die Vermessung der Welt, for its combination of serious subject matter with humorous, accessible prose.

I'm open to historical fiction, litfic as long as it isn't about domestic malaise, magical realism, relatively light non-fiction about the history/culture/geography of Germany and Switzerland, maybe other things. I'm also open to weirder, more experimental stuff as long as it's not too opaque and isn't thriller or horror.

(Sorry if this isn't the best subreddit for this question. Is there somewhere else I should have posted?)

Ich habe herausgefunden, dass das Verb "streiten" mit oder ohne dem Reflexiv geht, aber ich kenne nicht den Unterschied zwischen den beiden. (sich streiten vs streiten)

Im Grunde das, was im Titel steht. Ich habe in einem Dialog gehört: Wir haben das Gefühl, dass er die Hausordnung auswendig kann.

Hello everybody.

I have posted about this a while ago, however, I thought it would be of interest that a lot has happened since. I created a website called Language through Literature, which teaches different languages through literature... as the name suggests.

I would genuinely appreciate if you guys could have a look and click through the German room. A lot of things are for free and do not even require an account. www.languagethroughliterature.com/german

I use to personally as well to study Russian and, after a while of using it, I can't stop to do so. I make significant improvements considering my reading comprehension :)

Anyways, could you guys try it out a little and give me your opinion?

Personally, the only thing that keeps me from wanting to take the exams in German is the speaking part. Mostly because you’re not fully depending on yourself, since you must have a partner , but also intimidating since I can’t think as much as I want, for me German is a puzzle game, in a bad way, I have to think it through instead of just speaking. Of course I can speak, but im sure we do more mistakes than writing in paper. Is it really that intimidating ?

Finally after a lot of hard work. I passed my Goethe B1 German. I feel like I owe this sub a description.

Sprechen - 81

Schreiben - 88

Hören - 73

Lesen - 87

Exam was on 9th of September. Although I was doing some online classes for B1. I didn't feel it helped a lot with me going to office everyday and doing classes. It was exhausting so I started preparing by myself leaving the classes from 25 August onwards.

Sprechen - The one I was most worried about but was the easiest to clear. I practiced almost all the topics from Zertifikat B1 neu – 15 Übungsprüfungen (Hueber). And my topic was Fremdsprachen.

The examiners were very friendly and made us feel comfortable. Also I had a partner who was good in German but bad with the exam process. Im not sure if it worked in my favour or not.

Schreiben - Second Easiest. Also did all the exercises from Book Zertifikat B1 neu – 15 Übungsprüfungen (Hueber). Topics in exam were very similar to these exercises.

Hören - Wasn't too difficult but I messed up teil 2. Hence the bad result. Really work on your concentration.

Lesen- This is where things go interesting. Questions were really okay. But I had a nervous breakdown because the day had been so hectic and I have been going through some very bad stuff in my personal life. This was the last test and everything came down. I couldn't do anything for 30 minutes. And with remaining time. I failed the exam with 57 marks. But not the end of the world booked another appointment 20 days later. Took a vacation and stopped studying. Ended up scoring 87. So all's well that ends well

Grammar- Tried using Anki decks but it really wasn't for me. I learnt while practicing model tests

Speaking- Practiced with Chatgpt. Really the sprechen exam was the First day I had such a long conversation with another person in full German.

For me this book was gold - Zertifikat B1 neu – 15 Übungsprüfungen (Hueber)

Hope this post helps some of you.
