Welcome to the place to learn the German Language! Come here to discuss topics or quirks related to the German language, ask any questions about learning German, provide tips to current learners, and share your journey through the German-learning process!
RULES
Make sure anything you plan on asking has not already been answered.
No harassing someone over their level of the language of German. Everyone starts somewhere.
No harassing period actually. Obviously no bigotry falls under this category.
In general, no low effort posts or spam. If you ask a question and it didn't receive much engagement, don't go on to ask it again immediately, at the least remove the original copy.
No NSFW. This rule has its loose limits and some exceptions (i.e. commenting on German "dirty talk" and whatnot is alright).
Mods are the interpreters of these rules, and have jurisdiction over other cases where a rule isn't explicitly mentioned here, but it is a common sense rule.
This community is largely for English speakers learning/discussing German. Other languages aren't outright banned yet, but expect minimal support. If other communities arise for German help in other languages, then those languages will be barred from this community in favor of the new one.

@lemmy.worldHello lemmites! I decided that a great way to get some use out of this community while it gathers steam is to have a mega thread where people can simply come and practice their German with people on similar skill levels. If you're a more fluent speaker, and see any mistakes in someone else's sentences, feel free to correct them and possibly explain why.
I'm thinking how it'll go is I'll have a prompt for the week that you can answer and I'll try to reply to you, or you can totally ask your own question, or just comment about whatever is going on in your life, or going through your head.
I'll get the ball rolling: Was ist deine Lieblingsstadt in Deutschland? Warum?
Meine Lieblingsstadt in Deutschland ist Düsseldorf, weil meine Familie von dort stammt.
Ich habe mich heute auf Lemmy angemeldet. Gibt es ein App für Lemmy?
The SayHi translation app (from Amazon) has been discontinued as of 8/5/24. My existing install no longer works, and the app is not available on the stores. The app main page just has the discontinuation notice, but no explanation.
I still have DeepL to fall back on, but had found SayHi to be a good alternative. I miss it.
Does anyone know why this was discontinued? Any idea if Amazon is expected to release a replacement?
Any suggestions for a replacement? What has worked for you?
When I was learning English, listening to music (mostly rap) helped me A LOT. Now that I'm learning Deutsch, I thought I would do the same. I really like the song "Hurra die Welt geht unter" by K.I.Z. but not so much their other songs. I was able to find "die fantastische vier", but it was very old school. I would appreciate it if you could recommend something to me. And of course I listen to Rammstein. So it shouldn't only be rap. Thanks a lot in advance.
Ich habe beide gesehen in die selbe Context.
Was ist die Unterschied zwischen "ich habe dich liebe" und "ich liebe dich" ?
I'm a total beginner. Studied German for a bit in High School but never really got into it. Been thinking about actually learning it, at least to be able to understand some basic stuff.
So does anyone have any recommendations that could be useful/ have been helpful for you?
Es geht mir gut aber ich habe viel Arbeit und ich möchte mehr Zeit bei Deutsch lernen verbringen.
Und du ?
Both der/das/die and den mean 'the' but when are they supposed to be used. Are they interchangeable?
I recently came across a statement on duolingo : Mia, der Stuhl ist da druben, Warum brauchst du den Stuhl.
Since it is translated as 'the' in both cases why is Mia, den Stuhl ist da druben, Warum brauchst du der Stuhl wrong
