Is it hard to learn the German language? Is there a website that can help me start to speak german? Can yo'll give me easy words to start with? I already know how to say " God Bless you" in german. just to let you know.

 

[schwarzes_schaf]

hm i dunno websites where you can learn german but if you want post some words you want to know and we will translate them.

here just some for the beginning:

hallo -> hello

wie geht es dir? -> how are you

tschüß -> bye

I suppose there is a side where you can learn German somewhere in the net but as I allready speak it I've never tried to find it

http://www.deutsch-lernen.com seems to be a good page to learn German.
However I just happened to come across it, I don't know whether it's really good. But when you find out whether it's good or bad then please let me know.

I'm glad that you are intressted in the German language. German is a particularly easy language for me, mainly because I'm interessted in German culture and history. You've got to have intrests in the country itself, or the language can become seemingly boring or difficult to learn. Really it isn't hard, it's just that you don't have the will to learn, if you get what I mean.

The language is related to English, and many words and grammar points are similar or the same in English. Pronunciation is easy, and German sounds really cool once you learn to read it well.

 

[Ainuhina]

well...and then you go on holiday and can't understand a word at first because everybody speaks this funny dialects

Haha, ya. I was in Austria, however, and I understood what the people were talking about. But, I did meet some people who spoke Bärisch(sp?) and I didn't understand anything at all. They spoke Hochdeutsch also, so I was lucky.

ich denk mal du meinst bayrisch. jaja das is schon so ne sache, da haben selbst die meisten deutschen probleme das zu verstehen.

 

[Ainuhina]

ja...dafür haben die Österreicher keine Probleme

War grad am Pfingstjugentreffen und hatte eine Kleingruppe zu leiten....5 Vorarlbergerinnen und 2 Tirolerinnen...da hast Probleme mit dem verstehen

 

[schwarzes_schaf]

hm naja für mich klingt das bei euch ösis alles gleich. bitte nicht hauen.
aber egal welcher dialekt es gibt viele leutz wo probs haben euch zu verstehen. halt so wie bei den bayern. aber das ist mit dem sächsisch bestimmt ähnlich. das versteht auch kaum jemand wenn ich richtig sächsisch sprech. wobei mein sächsisch mittlerweile ehr ne mischung aus badisch, schwäbisch und sächsisch ist.

 

[Ainuhina]

Ja...Dialekte sind schwer.....für mich klingen auch alle Deutschen fast gleich....ein paar Unterschiede merkt man...aber richtig weis man erst welchen Dialekt wer spricht wenn man die Dialekte oft genug hört....

 

[schwarzes_schaf]

jep. obwohl ich ja dialekte übelst mag. merkt man vielleicht daran das ich 1 perfekt, und 2 fast perfekt kann. obwohl die beiden letzteren ähnlich sind. ich schreib jetzt aber nicht welche sonst werd ich gehauen.
