I'm learning German

Guten Tag!

Been trapped in the work-home-work running mill forever now, and even before that, I was trapped in the education-industrial-complex, which is probably the worst thing to ever happen to me. Right up there with paying taxes.

So, it feels GREAT to learn something independently again. My cousin, who's been living in Munich for about 10 years, is out here on vacay, and teaching a bunch of us family and friends for a below-market price.

I find German to be a beeeautiful language, and I hope to also learn Japanese one day.

What have you been learning independently of late? Genau!

 

Vor uns liegt ein weites Tal
Die Sonne scheint mit Glitzerstrahl

Die Fahrbahn ist ein graues Band
Weisse Streifen, gruener Rand

Diese Brezeln machen mich durstig

 

Holy crap. That's too advanced!

 

Sounds like someone has some fahrvergnügen :biggrin:

 

I've gotta learn some German. My grampa speaks it, but I've just never taken the time. Keeping my French up to date is enough of a responsibility...

Here is a good clip to help you learn German:

Phonetically english and german are very similar, so if you say it out loud you should get it. Ifyou are a Seinfeld fan that is

 

I'm just starting to learn German, as well.

Using the Duolingo program.
I have Rosetta Stone but I'm finding Duolingo more portable.

 

Are the Axis Powers starting up again? You'd have thought they learnt last time?

 

Brassiere=stoppen ze floppin. That's all the german I know.

 

I would like to learn German. I've been brushing up on my French. I've taken several years of French and at one point I could read it pretty fluently (although I was never great at speaking it) but I'm pretty rusty now.

 

I'm right wing.

 

I've dabbled in Japanese but it's tough to get a handle on the different forms of writing. You gotta learn one word, three different ways. There's a good deal more of learning by rote. That's part of why I jumped over to German. It's so intuitive because of how Germanic English is.
