We are getting ready for one in May but it will only be pens and paper crosses not rifles and guns after which Scotland might still be friends or sink into the North Atlantic under Lady Macbeth's leadership and the whole of the North will have to learn another language as M Macron will be banning English next! This gets us back on course in this thread - clever that! The Lego place in Duisburg was great last time I was there - I still have a pic of my young friends sitting on the bench with the lego guy!

Subscriber Coma+ Posted April 23, 2021 Author Subscriber Share Posted April 23, 2021 Ich glaube nicht. One thing I did notice is that all nouns ending in -ing are feminine. die Einladung, die wohnung, die verspaetung. Any other cheats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 21 hours ago, Coma said: Curious about umlauts... I don't have access to a German keyboard on my computer. I read somewhere that if you don't have the umlaut key, just add an "e" after the letter... hence why I've used Koeln a few times. Yes/no? You don't need an actual physical German keyboard, if you use windows you can just change the settings on what language you are using for the keyboard in the time and language in the settings menu. You can even set it so you can change keyboards on the fly with a click of a button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Coma+ Posted April 28, 2021 Author Subscriber Share Posted April 28, 2021 Something else that's been tripping me up recently is the use of "gern". I'll be asked to translate a sentence, for example: I like to watch football. I always default to "Ich mag..." when the correct response seems to be "Ich sehe gern fußball."

Actually both is correct, "Ich sehe gern Fußball" is another way to say "Ich mag es, Fußball zu sehen." The last version should be easier for you as it's almost literally the same as in English.

Subscriber Coma+ Posted May 27, 2021 Author Subscriber Share Posted May 27, 2021 This isn't German language related necessarily, but I've been trying to work on my conversational skills so I'll type it in German. Ich gehe nächste woche im Urlaub. Ich nehme meinen Kinder und meine Frau nach Yellowstone National Park. Wir fahren am Samstag und das ist meine erste Ausflug nach Westen. Ich kann Bilden posten wann Ich zu Hause ankommen. Der Ausflug ist wirklich lange, Ich glaube viertausend oder mehr Meilen hin und ruck fahrt. Wir sehen noch wenn meine Frau liebt mich wann wir ankommen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
