[–] Bobby_shmurda@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago* (1 child) Pretty bad. I'm not motivated. I dread learning all the different genders and the 9 different indefinite articles..... But I really need to learn so I can stay here, i do not want to go back to America. permalink fedilink source hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dragontamer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (2 children) Which language? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Bobby_shmurda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 23 hours ago (1 child) German. The joke (to me being lazy) is that English and German share the same language family and something like %60 of the words are similar. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] dragontamer@lemmy.world 2 points 59 minutes ago* I had a feeling but I still had to ask in case there was some other language out there that cares about ein/eine/einer/einen/einem/eines Or as we like to say in English: a, a, a, an, a or a. For the non-German studiers out there: you know how English has He vs Him ? Who vs whom? She vs her? Germans decided to do that with their "the" (die der das den dem des), a/an (ein einer einen einem eine eines), no (kein, keiner keinen keinem keine keinez), and all their adjectives (alt, alter, alten, altem, alter... all means Old) The good news you young grasshopper.... It kinda gets easier by the time you've done this for a year..... Kinda sorta. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Auster@thebrainbin.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 child) Seconded. Also, @Bobby_shmurda@sh.itjust.works, without knowing the language, a suggestion I give is to dump a comically large amount of musics in your target language to your playlist, and listen to them as you do chores, go to your commute, etc. Should help as a secondary method. =) permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Bobby_shmurda@sh.itjust.works 2 points 23 hours ago That's good advice. I try to listen to some of the music when at the gym and also doing chores. permalink fedilink source parent
