    Default Let's Talk (All Students Must Participate)

    This thread is to be used for practicing the German you have learned. Hence, ONLY use German here. NO ENGLISH.

    Nein, ihr müsst Deutsch üben.

    (Notes: müssen = must; üben = practice)

    Stell dich vor. (Introduce yourself).

    Beispiel (example): Ich heiße Diamat. Ich bin der Lehrer. Ich bin ein Wellensittich (= budgie).

    "Wo wust du?" Was ist das?

    Du meinst (meinen = mean) "wo wohnst du?" (where do you live?).

    Ich wohne in Los Angeles. (note: as you can see, the pattern "I live in..." in German works just like in English; the verb is wohnen, another -en regular verb)

    Ich wohne in Vereinigten Staaten.

    Teacher's Corrections:
    ...in den Vereinigten Staaten. (like in English, for countries that use a plural, "the" is added; e.g., I live in the United States versus I live in Germany).

    Guten Tag. Ich bin Legio_Italica aus den Vereinigten Staaten. Ich bin Amerikaner. Ich hätte (möchte?) lernen Deutsch. Ich hoffe Ich buchstabiere korrect.

    Teacher's Corrections:
    Ich möchte Deutsch lernen (lit. I want to German learn)
    Ich hoffe ich buchstabiere das richtig (ich is not capitalized in German, only nouns are, but not pronouns)

    Of these facts there cannot be any shadow of doubt: for instance, that civil society was renovated in every part by Christian institutions; that in the strength of that renewal the human race was lifted up to better things-nay, that it was brought back from death to life, and to so excellent a life that nothing more perfect had been known before, or will come to be known in the ages that have yet to be. - Pope Leo XIII

    Die Deutsche sind schoen, sehr schoen! Ich heisse Papashaw, der Diamat werde lehr. Ich bin es geht so.

    Teacher's Corrections:
    Die Deutschen sind schoen... (singular: der Deutsche; plural: die Deutschen)
    Diamat ist der Lehrer

    About telling people how you are doing:
    Es geht mir so lala (= I'm doing sort of well)
    Es geht mir gut (= I'm doing well)
    Es geht mir schlecht/Es geht mir nicht gut (I'm not doing well; don't use this expression, since it suggests illness; In Germany, we generally don't ask people "how are you," unless they are really close to us)

    "牛鬼蛇神的文字" by Fu Sinian on Chinese characters.
    ("A Cow Demon and Snake God's Writing System")

    "汉字不灭,中国必亡" Lu Xun also on Chinese characters.

    Es geht mir gut, und dir? (Note: ich becomes mir and du becomes dir; don't worry about the grammar; for now, just consider this as a fixed expression that's simply good to know)
