Mein Führer!

Phew, "Kein Bund für's Leben" is alright, but I doubt you'll find a subbed version :/

Other than that, I don't really like german movies or shows... German Television is pretty much absolute garbage

Lol, why do you say that? Actually, I feel that way about most American T.V.

yeah, german television is HEAVILY influenced by murica, we have exactly the same **** you guys got, but it's made in an even worse quality

uuh.. k?

Ich brauche ein freund zum uben mein deustch mit

*Ich brauche einen Freund, um mein deutsch zu üben.

You mustn't fall into translating word by word, thats the same mistake most germans do when they're trying to speak english, which results in sentences like:

"My english is not the yellow from the egg." or "This is me sausage."

Meine grammatik ist scheisse

proper grammar is the hardest thing when trying to learn german I guess, because it sometimes just doesn't make any sense at all, like someone, at some point was just like: "Yea, **** it, were just doing it this way and call it a day."

How do you suggest I learn grammar?

Etwas Ich hab nie verstehen, wohin kommt grammatik.

Sorry, can't make sense of that sentence.

[...], wohin kommt Grammatik.
roughly translates to: "[...], where does the grammar go."


First part should be: "Etwas habe ich nicht verstanden, [...] "

Ich habe - I have
Er/Sie hat - He/She has
Sie haben - They have

but in a sentence like that, where you first name something (In this case, it's actually "something" as a word) you have to turn that **** , as I said, absolute nonsense

Sorry I'm a terrible teacher

Shouldn't it be, "where does grammar come from,"?

no, that would be: "[...], wo kommt die Grammatik her?" or "[...], woher kommt die Grammatik?"

Honestly, I would have no idea where to start with learning german grammar properly, as it's hard even for some native speakers. I guess your best bet would be to talk to someone fluent in german in person, but that won't make your grammar flawless, it will make you good, but not perfect.

Trying to read books in german is also a REAAALLY good way of learning grammar, back in school you could see/hear if someone was reading a book from time to time or not, just because of the grammar he/she used.

Remember any kids books from back in the day that would be a good place to start?

phew, lemme think.

Your bet is just as good as mine. You can always look for books you know in english, which have been translated to german.

One book I do remember from my childhood is "Pitje Puck", it's a series of childrens books, if you could get your hands on some of them, theyre really easy to read.

Ha ha, found an audio book of it, but I think I found something better, actually.

Hahahaha

"if" I could? My friend, this is the internet, anything is possible. Danke schoen. Oh, btw, can you make umlauts with a qwerty?

Dude I have no Idea But just use aou instead of äöü, everyone will still understand in 99% of the time.

Also: One thing you should also realise is, german accents are beyond ****** . There is nearly noone who speaks without accent, and the accents completly alter german is some cases, words are non-existant or there are completely new words.

For example, I'm from "Unterfranken" which is on the border from bavaria to hessen.

A sentence like: "Wann kommt denn der Bus nach Aschaffenburg?"
(Transl.: "When does the bus to Aschaffenburg come?")
Is spoken like: "Wann kommtn de Bus nach Aschebersch?"

YOu're probably going to hate me for saying this but I'm a huge Rammstein fan so the German that I speak I learned from Till so I speak with his accent. I don't know what regional accent he has though.

Till speaks without accent, but his vocabulary is insane, given he is using some words that my great-grandfather thought wouldn't anybody use anymore

Yeah, learning his lyrics have given me the accent and vocabulary I have, grammar is where I really fall short, though and I want to become fluent.

if you're not born in germany noone will break a sweat if your grammar isn't perfect as long as it's understandable. You still have to learn it, but Rammstein isn't the right thing to learn grammar, as song lyrics can bend grammar to some degree for the sake of better sound. Watch german shows, or read articles and books, it's really ******* hard in the beginning, but with a basic vocabulary you should manage in some time.

THanks, dude. So, do they teach English in school or did you learn from the internet or what? I know most European people know a little English but you seem to have a particularly good grasp of it.

nope, the sentence is perfectly fine, which is a really rare thing to see in Anime, most of the time they're just like "Yea, that sounds pretty much like german."

haha, I fell of my chair laughing when I first saw the intro

"SIE SIND DAS ESSEN UND WIR SIND DIE JÄGER!"

But yea, AoT really has a pretty german-ish setting

Somebody told me that was grammatically incorrect, is that true?

we reached the reply limit

as for the japanese dude: Actually most japanese people are going nuts for german, they actually use some of it, Guten Morgen for example, and if you watch alot of anime, you'll notice a lot of german they use for their SUPER AWESOME MEGA ULTRA FINISHER MOVES and **** .

Noticed that in AoT

They teach english in school, but the english they teach you is **** .

Learned it from just going on the interwebz, watching movies on english, playing games on english, playing international MMO's and talking on english there, **** like that.

I'm actually at the point where I consider my english good enough to start learning another language, probably japanese because I'm a ******* weeaboo like that

Lol, maybe I'll meet a Japanese dude who's nuts about American culture and this will all come full circle.
