    I thought people took Duolingo to learn how to say "Three delicious large duck bandits stole my banana pants from my hot freezer" in foreign languages because you never know when you might need to say that.

      I used to learn spanish as a german speaker (german is my native language) but then i switched to 'as an english speaker' because a lot of the words were in 'old' german. For example they kept saying fotoapparat (which means camera) but nowadays nobody uses that word, instead you use kamera in german

    • @Yes-Bean
      @Yes-Bean Рік тому +20

      And also they kept using the simple past form in german even though it's also not used that often anymore.
      For example instead of saying 'ich lief' (I walked) you would nowadays say 'ich bin gelaufen' (I 'am' 'gewalked').

      I feel ya! I started learning Portuguese with Duolingo and ended up just knowing a few basic words and I just wasn't comfortable enough speaking or even writing in Portuguese. Now I'm studying using a book and watching videos in Portuguese. That made me more confident in my Portuguese.

      I think everyone saying it stays too basic or whatever just stopped quite soon. If you actually continue the course it gets more and more advanced.
      Obviously with an app like this (and with books as well actually imo) to perfect your grasp of the language what works for me is watching videos in the language and trying to engage in conversation if possible.
      The way I see it, it's like learning to drive. Your driver's ed teaches you to drive, but continuing to drive afterwards really teaches you. As with everything, practice makes perfect.

    I mean "Schau" actually is the only way to write the exact German word for "show". It's just that the English word (unfortunately) pushed the German word away. Everything today is "...show or ... Show". The only TV shows that still have "Schau" in their name that come to my mind are "Tagesschau" und "Sportschau" though.

    I took German once and finished it pretty fast to be honest I also decided to take English and I have finished it in like 5 hours as I skipped most of the basics and headed over to the end (English is my second language) Duolingo is not that good with teaching me lol XD through my Spanish is getting better and my Japanese is alright

    I'm using Duolingo to learn German. What I find causes me lose confidence in Duolingo and wonder how well the German is structured, are the English renderings of German sentences. I am a native English speaker. I get that they use American expressions like 'coffee shop' for 'cafe'. But sometimes the prepositions are not quite right and the grammar is distorted. Is this just American English or has it been written by German speakers and not checked by a native English speaker?

    Just a question for German speakers:
    I'm learning German on Duolingo and about to learn it in school. Does whether you put das, der or
    die for non-human things matter? Would German people care if I said things such as das zug or der pizza.

    • @ThePancakeSimp
      @ThePancakeSimp  Рік тому +1

      They most likely would still understand you.
      I understand it might be tedious to learn all the genders in German.
      When it comes to being grammatically correct it does matter.

    Hmm, for "show" I guess post people would use "Aufführung" instead of "Schau", as the latter is a bit ambiguous on it's own. Sure it's a perfectly correct word for it, but I don't thing anyone would use it without direct context or packing it into a compound noun.

    First get into German Grammer basic rules otherwise it will be hard to just rely on duolingo but as long as vocabulary is concerned it's good for beginners. It helped me to remember many words because of constant repetitive screens. Learn Grammer plus use duolingo both side by side.
