Sprechen Sie Deutsch?

Ich habe deutsch gesprocht seit zwei Jahre. Deutsch ist ähnlich wie english, so du sollst nicht viele Probleme haben. Eine gute Idee ist andere deutschsprachig Forum finden, dann wirst du sehr schnell lernen. Hoffentlich, deine Klasse wird sehr informative sein. Viel glück!

Translation: I've spoken German for two years. German is similar to English, so you shouldn't have too many problems. A good idea is to find other German-speaking forums, and then your learning will be very quick. Hopefully your classes will be very informative. Good luck!

I could say I am good at it. I learnt a half from the TV and the other half in school. I'm better at translating it to English than actually speaking the language, though. xD

Wow, das ist sehr gut Deutsch..
Ich habe meine Redezeit Deutsch für nur etwa ein Jahr oder so..

Anyway.
But yes, German is very similar to English. So you shouldn't have too many problems learning it.

Dein Deutsch ist sehr gut!

Ich habe Deutsch seit drei Jahre gelernt, und ich werde dir mit deinem Deutsch helfen, ob du Hilf brauchst. Deutsch macht viel Spass, ob du ein guten Lehrer hast, ABER Grammatik ist sehr langweilig.

Viel Glück! Und wenn du Deutsch sehr gut lernst, kannst du Deutsch Tanz tanzen!

Und WO IST MEIN UMLAUT ICH WEISS NICHT LALALALALA.

Translation:
I've been learning German for threee years, and I'll help you if it's help you need. German's fun if you have a good teacher, but the grammar is boring.

Good luck! And when you learn German really well, you can do the German Dance!

My Dad used to be fluent in German, but having not used it in so long, he is sadly fluent no more. I personally wanted to take it, since I really am not a big fan of Spanish or French, and my high school offered it. When I brought it up to each of my parents individually, I got yelled down and forced to take Spanish. So I took the minimum two years. German, along with Japanese and Spanish are languages that I would love to learn and become fluent in along with English. I dislike French and honestly have no plans to go to Canada OR France anytime soon, so... Yeah. I'm willing to give Spanish another shot because I believe the reason I hated it so much was because of the poor teaching methods of my instructors.

As for what I know, I can count from one to ten, and tell someone to "Hold their tongue," because my Dad tells my half-sister the second quite a bit. Also from my Epee Squad in school, we're a fun small group, and something the Epee Captain taught me was "Tanzentag" or Dance (I believe) Day. He'll randomly yell it out and we all start dancing, it's quite fun.
 
I've started learning German in the same year as I started German... I can manage with german grammer but my vacabulary is poor.

i tell you the hardest to learn are the strong verbs and the names genders ._.

 
Part of me wanted to learn German, yet I changed my mind and want to study Japanese first instead. I know a bit of French (again deja vu, seriously we've had a lot of language-related topics in Other Chat the past 5 months) and English of course. Spanish..I don't like the language, haha.
 
Sprechen sie Deutsch?
NINE!(you have to know german to get the joke)
But yeah i dont know german. I do but hell french is holding me back.(stupid plan to become a chef and all those pansy langauges)
 
Meine deutsch ist nicht sehr gut.

I took German I and II, but other than a few words, have forgotten just about everything. :(
 
Ja, mein Deutsch ist ok.
Ich bin in Deutsch II jetzt.

Et cetera.
 
Ja, wir haben so viel Leute, dass Deutsch lernt. Und... ob sie nicht dir helfen wollen, liebe ich Deutsch und ich will dir helfen.

Und dann wir Deutsch Tanz tanzen müssen. Ha!

Translation:
Yeah, we have lots of people that are studying German. And, if they don't want to help, I love German and I'll help you.

And then we must dance the German dance. Ha!

My grammar's probably terrible because I am tired out of my mind.

Hmmm... let's see, sentence structure is way worse than remembering strong words...
 
If anything, the sentence structure is what will kill you. Just remember that the verb will always come in the second grammatical position in the sentence, and you should be fine.

Die Altcodes. ;)

ß - 0223
ä - 0228
ö - 0246
ü - 0252

Auser Sätze mit UKs. (Kopfschmerzen)

Sentences with UKs, or Suboordinating Conjunctions, are just bizarre in their sentence structure. For example, instead of saying I like cheese, because it is yellow, you'd actually say I like cheese, because it yellow is. (Ich mag Käse, weil er gelb ist).

Another weird thing with UKs - if your sentence starts with one, things get really funky. For example, instead of saying "While I eat cheese, the dog eats my homework", you actually would say "While I cheese eat, eats the dog my homework" (Während ich Käse esse, isst der Hund meine Hausaufgaben). Mix that in with past participles and things get ugly: While I cheese eaten have, has the dog my homework eaten (Während ich Käse gegessen habe, hat der Hund meine Hausaufgaben gegessen.). But if you remember that, the sentence structure shouldn't be that bigh of a deal.

Now adjective endings are what's going to determine the intense German students from the regular ones.

Just giving a small taste of what's in your future of German (because I've apparently been studying it the longest O_o)

Sidenote: Damn alt codes, the only one I memorize is é, because of the number of times "POKéMON" pops up in rom hacking...

Do they even use the ß that much anymore? My teachers are telling me to write down words like "Spass" rather than "Spaß".

So basically, I should jsut think liek Yoda?
-.-
Why can't everyone have a single grammar structure.
xD

And what is upsetting to me, is that I have to type 'ß', but the site my class is on doesn't let me copy and paste or use alt codes.
>;[
 
May the force be with you. Well, I guess it could be that way, XD. Actually, it only happens that way if you're using an UK, so make sure you aren't saying anything crazy like "Ich dich liebe".

With most sentences, you're pretty much guarenteed one thing - the verb is almost ALWAYS the second word, unless you use a time phrase/subject that's more than one word long (such as "nach der Schule", meaning "after school" or Chuck Norris as your subject) or if you have an UK, which get's the yoda speak you saw above.

So wait, you get graded down if you write "Spass" instead of "Spaß"? That's crazy, because I heard that Germany made the ß rarely even used or something, and that it would be wrong to write down "Spaß" rather than "Spass"...

...That's stupid, because I use the two interchangably, and the teachers don't grade me down for it. Stupid online courses...

I guess your only way to go is to remember the alt codes...

@Mitchman - Not to be a jerk, but Nine is the English number 9. The German word for "no" is spelled Nein. The German word for 9 is Neun. Just a little information for ya ^_^

The thign is, I memorized teh alt code..
But the coding they used for the site is a flash program that DOESNT LET ME USE ALT CODES.
It's ridiculous.

And what is a UK?
o.o;
 
No problem thanks for the german lesson i also probably sounded like an ignnorant know it all there so sorry if i sounded like a jerk. Now that i know this im off to my language journal. Its my little book of words i have from every language i heard so far if i ever decide to travel round the world.

That's a nifty idea.
Though, I would advise trying to become fluent in each language, myself.
