[german-enthusiast]

In my L1-acquisition class two weeks ago, our professor talked about how only 9% of the speech a baby hears is single words. Everything else is phrases and sentences, onslaughts of words and meaning!

Thus, a baby not only has to learn words and their meanings but also learn to segment lots of sounds INTO words. Doyouwantalittlemoresoupyesyoudoyoucutie. Damn.

When she talked about HOW babies learn to segment words our professor said, and I love it, "babies are little statisticians" because when listening to all the sounds, they start understanding what sound is likely to come after another vs which is not.

After discussing lots of experiments done with babies, our professor added something that I already knew somewhere in my brain but didn't know I know: All this knowledge is helpful when learning an L2 as well:

Listen to natives speaking their language. Original speed. Whatever speaker. Whatever topic.

It is NOT about understanding meaning. It is about learning the rhythm of the language, getting a feeling for its sound, the combination of sounds, the melody and the pronunciation.

Just how babies have to learn to identify single words within waves of sounds, so do adults learning a language. It will help immensely with later (more intentional) listening because you're already used to the sound, can already get into the groove of the languge.

Be as brave as a baby.

You don't even have to pay special attention. Just bathe in the sound of your target language. You'll soak it up without even noticing.

German Tongue Twisters

or Zungenbrecher I found today and tried saying. Thought i’d share if you’re interested!

Fischers Fritze fischt frische Fische; Frische Fische fischt Fischers Fritze

In Ulm und um Ulm und um Ulm herum

Kleine Kinder können keinen Kaffee kochen. Keinen Kaffee können kleine Kinder kochen.

Wer wer weiß was weiß, weiß wer weiß wie viel

Zehn zahme Ziegen zogen zehn Zentner Zucker zum Zoo

Zwischen zwei Zwetschgenzweigen zwitschern zwei zwitschernde Schwalben

Katzen schmatzen, putzen sich mit ihren Tatzen, hassen alles was sie verpatzen

Chinesisches Schüsselchen, chinesisches Schüsselchen, chinesisches Schüsselchen

Weißt du das, dass das "das" das meistgebrauchte Wort im Satz ist?

I think, broken down to its essence, learning a language can have three stages/goals, which can but needn't all be reached:

- Goal 1: have enough vocab and grammar to say stuff and have your message be understood

- Goal 2: have the grammar and vocab to say grammatically correct sentences

- Goal 3: be able to do creative/academic writing (meaning: have the skill+vocab to vary writing style according to the text type)

#this is probably also part of where that fluency discourse comes from #(besides fluency being super subjective in general) #because: is goal 2 already fluent? #or do you need the versatility of goal 3 to really consider yourself fluent? #german #langblr #deutsch #learning german #language learning #deutsch lernen #german language #german learning #language #german vocabulary

Android app for German Learning

Do note * - it is means that I use apps only with apk/premium unlocker, bc for one reason or another, free version of the app is not usable/not so great.

And yes, I have duolingo as well - but we all had it at some point, so heh.

LingoDeer*:

great for picking up vocab;

better prononciation than in Duolingo;

though it is quite better for asian languages.

Chatterbug:

German videos;

German "shorts" like Youtubes/TikTok one;

Learngerman DW:

Basically cheating, bc we all love DW here, and if you don't - check it out, it is really great;

Easy German:

Learn german by reading newspaper articles!

Seedlang*:

Similar to an old duolingo with its tree, but quite lacking w/o premium.

LingQ*:

Read, listen, add your own sites/apps/videos for it to create a captions in German!

Create flashcards.

Readle:

Great app with a lot of short stories to test your reading skills;

little test at the end of each text to check if you understand what you have read;

Voice overs for every text!

Flashcards:

Better than Anki for me, since it is a lot easier to set up;

Avaliable voice overs for both sides of a flashcard.

Beelinguapp*:

App for reading!

Have a split screen and read 2 text (in your native & in German) at the same time;

Create flashcards~

26.10.2023 || Spent the whole afternoon looking into this scholarship for a German Language Summer School in Germany. The courses start from A1 but to get the scholarship you need to have a B1 certificate.

Why would I pay for a language course if I already had a certification???

#german learning #frustrating #and no i don't have a b1 certification #i wanted to get it AFTER the summer school #but i guess that's not going to happen anymore #like i get they need some standards to select people #but some of the course this scholarship sponsors are A1 level! #make it make sense! #and i repeat why would i be looking at a german course if i already knew how to speak german??

ok so guys I've been studying german in the last 10+ years and I still didn't know shit UNTIL yesterday. (people who study german while their mind operates on english 24/7 will know the struggle)

yesterday while I was studying german (because I'm taking an exam soon) I found this subliminal by taurus vibes and DAAMN DID IT WORK

so before my accent was horrible. it sounded like when american people try to speak literally any language outside of theirs (even tho I'm not american) and I could literally not put full and slightly difficult sentences together even after 12 years of studying it, because I forgot all the vocab and grammar I learned

BUT AFTER I LISTENED IT BITCH today I almost sound like a native speaker and I am able to make difficult sentences really fast and use the vocab I know actively in my speech. and I know this sub is working damn fucking well because it actually physically HURST like it feels UNCOMFORTABLE to use my old accent.

I am beyond stunned

I think I'm just gonna use this sub for a week and then become fluent
