Hallo zusammen, hatte jemand schon einmal solche Probleme bei der Anmeldung zum TestDaF?

Ich versuche, mich für den Test in München anzumelden, aber ich erhalte eine Fehlermeldung, obwohl es freie Plätze gibt.

Die Anmeldung ist tatsächlich nicht möglich....

(Can be in different languages than English)

Hallo again ich :) Können Sie es bitte erklären, was der Unterschied dazwischen ist ? +++ Wie kann ich diesen Satz unten formulieren?? " jemand anderes hat es gesagt" oder "jemand anderer hat es gesagt" oder was ? Wie muss ich "ander" deklinieren ? Danke im Voraus ❤️

Would anyone be able to help me with the latest resources and tips to learn German A1 in a month?

I'm using the Schritte International A.1.1 book to learn German and in one of the exercises there is an audio of a phone conversation where someone says "Ruf mich doch zurück". The google translator told me that it meant "call me back please", but I'm unsure of it bc the online dictionaries don't say that Rufen means calling (as a phone call), that would be Anrufen, but I'm sure they didn't speak the "an" in any part of this sentence. So, is there really a difference between Anrufen and Rufen, or I'm just crazy?

OK, hello so I want to learn German My current Level is A1 I want to reach c1 level in 1 month is this possible I will do anything to reach it in 1 month I have 24 h free time every day so I can spend 18 hour daily learning German

Hello everyone, I was thinking about improving my German level, and I was hoping if anyone has any suggestions on how to focus it and what material should I use. For context, I'm half german, I've been living in Spain all my life, and as a child (like 7y old) I was fairly fluent in german thanks to my mother. However, as the time passed, I stopped practicing it, mainly because I hated studying it and I was very lazy. Now at 23 years old, and after reaching C2 on English (cambridge Advanced exam), I wanted to focus on relearning my German. I've always been good at learning languages, and I think I will advance fairly easy, the thing is, I don't know how to learn a language mostly from scratch, since i learnt english at school, and after that I improved by watching yt videos, movies, etc.

Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!

I stumbled upon this song whilst watching a show called "Die Discounter" yesterday. I was lucky as the German subtitles always indicate which song is playing in the background, or else I would have completely missed it. Then, almost immediately I was hooked, but I cannot just listen to one German song, right? - Hence my question; are there similar artist? If there happen to be any, don't hesitate to comment them :)

archaic terms, poetic grammar, literary and poetic contractions?
hi, i am a german leaner, and reader of german poetry and i am trying to read a poem by goethe.

it's a poem titled "Schwester von dem ersten Licht"

Sister of the first light | LiederNet

"
Deines leisen Fußes Lauf
Weckt aus tagverschloßnen Höhlen
Traurig abgeschiedne Seelen,
Mich und nächt'ge Vögel auf.

"

what does "nächt'ge Vögel auf" mean? "nächtige Vögel auf" ?

AI says that "nächtige" is an archaic form of "nächtiliche" .

or is it using it as a present or past participle to form adjectives?

reverso gives this quote which attests its usage
nächt'ge translation in English | German-English dictionary | Reverso

"Guter Hamlet, wirf ab die **nächt 'ge** Farbe, und lass dein Aug' als Freund auf Dänmark ruhn."

PS: is there a list or book of common poetic and literary contractions, or slightly archaic terms like that?

So I understand that UMschreiben (seperable) means to "rewrite" as oppose to "umSCHREIben" which means to "rephrase".

However, is "rewrite" used in the German language in the same idiomatic way as in English.

For example, could i use "UMschreiben" to say "i want to rewrite history" or ""rewrite that chapter of my life" - or in German is "UMschreiben" only used literallty as in to "rewrite a book"?

Thanks

Al

My gut feeling is this idiom will not translate directly to German.

Is there a German equivalent to this phrase - where "somebody gets in your head" - as in "changes your way of thinking in a manipulative way".

Thanks

Das Zitat kommt von der 1922 Ausgabe des Buches "Harmonielehre" von Arnold Schönberg.

Ich vermute, dass es "ihm" statt "ich" sagen sollte (womit "der Schüler" impliziert würde)... Aber ich finde es ein bisschen schwierig, mir eine solche Verwechslung vorzustellen.

Hey, I‘m 16, and need to learn german (B2-C1) to enter university. But the thing is that these two years I have determining exams that are really hard, so I need to put a good amount of time into them. But I‘ll still have an hour or so a day (sometimes more or less) to put in german. Will I be able to get to B2 in two years with that?

I‘ve tried doulingo, and have a 415 day streak but I just take a lesson a day to keep the streak going so I‘m still considered in early A1 level (Score 17). Is there a better source of learning (free or paid)?

** I can’t take live online classes because my tile isn’t flexible, sometimes I‘m free in the morning sometimes in the noon.

Ich will ein bisschen mehr Deutsch lernen, weil ich in 2 Jahre Abitur habe un ich habe noch Wortschatz- und Artikelprobleme. Kann jemandem mir einen Discord server empfehlen wo ich meine kaputte Deutsch sprechen kann?

Is the magazine Scala still being published? When I was in high school it was a German general-interest magazine that German learners could get for free.

New German language learner here; wondering if starting on learning German as well as my Russian (been learning Russian for about 10 months now) will mess up my German or make me start forgetting my Russian

What's the best way of rendering the following sentence in German?

"I will check to see on whose desk the file has landed."

Google Translate suggests "Ich werde nachsehen, auf wessen Schreibtisch die Akte gelandet ist."

However I'm hesitant about using "wessen" as it seems rather archaic? I speak Dutch as well and Google suggests "wiens" which in Dutch is equivalent to German "wessen" in tone and isn't used except in very formal contexts.

In Dutch you'd render it as "op wie zijn bureau" which in German would be "auf wem sein Schreibtisch" but I'd wager that would be a big NO WAY as I'm aware German is no friend of the "dem-sein" possessive construction especially in writing lol.

But I just can't think of what would actually be the best render here. Maybe "wessen" is the best option after all?

I told to my German friend that I have a disorder and the answer was

"Läuft doch"

What does that mean?

Any different words or pronounciations perhaps?

I (29F) have been living in Munich since July. I am learning German (A2.1) and aim to reach B1 by the end of February.

I am looking for a female partner who wants to learn or improve their English in exchange for helping me improve my German. I’m interested in topics like travel, cultures, technology, languages, anime, movies, series, hiking, sports and my dogs.

If you're interested, feel free to message me!

Hello, is there someone who will take DSD 2 this year?? And from wich country ??

Dear Redditors, I am a master's degree student who moved to a small student city in Hessen, Germany last week and my lessons are pretty mild, I only have 3 courses two days a week. Even though my master's degree is in English, for finishing my degree, I will be living in Germany at least for 2 years -even I have a PhD goal here, so longer than 2 years most probably- and I found a German course due to the abundance of my free time and requirement to learn the language of the country I will be living in. I already had a summer language school in Vienna when I was finishing the high school and have a certificate for A1.2 level. Since then, practicing on my own, I developed myself a little bit more and today, Deutsche Welle's "Learn German" proficiency test advised me that I am above A2.2 and I should seek for a B1 course in German. In my city, there are two courses, one of them being private and another being comparatively more affordable that's by Volkshochschule. Realizing that VHS exists in most of the cities across Germany, I wanted to consult German speakers and/or residents who has knowledge about courses here, whether €200 is a reasonable price or not for "25 Termins" of lectures either in A2.2 or B1. If I didn't understand mistakenly, they take approximately a month time to finish the level and give you a certificate as well, but I wasn't quite sure if it's enough time to finish a level in a language, because it sounds as if it's too good to be true. Being a student here with limited funds, as I should use my money wisely, I was in doubt whether one fifth of my income could be spent for a language course or not, but I am in favor of the idea that this money will come back to me thanks to my German proficiency in the future when I find a student job. I am in the need of your advices about the pricing's fairness and reality of improvement within such a frame of time. Thanks in advance.

Hallo, ich bin im Deutschkurs A1.2. Ich verstehe nicht, warum der Satz falsch ist: „Ich habe nicht Zeit.“ Ich weiß, dass „Ich habe keine Zeit“ richtig ist. Aber warum? Danke

I got this sentence right:

I made a cucumber salad with our grandma. Ich habe einen Gurkensalat mit unserer Oma gemacht.

And this one wrong:

I made a fruit salad with our uncle. Ich habe einen Obstsalat mit unserem Onkel gemacht.

It was supposed to be:

Ich habe mit unserem Onkel einen Obstsalat gemacht.

So, why is the first one right and the second one wrong? I’m really trying to wrap my head around the sentence order but there are some things like this that just change for seemingly no reason.

This is my third semester of a dual enrollment elementary German course, and I've spent so long not studying and just doing the work that I am not confident in my German at all. I have to rely on a translator to complete work and read the textbook, and I can't form sentences well. The problem I'm facing now is that I want to study, but I don't know how. This is my first foreign language I've tried to learn, and it's the most dynamic and complicated thing I've ever had to attempt. How can I get back on track and start reducing my need to rely on translators? My end goal is to catch up to the rest of the class.

Die Mutter meiner Deutschlehrerin ist in Koma. Ich denke darüber, was ich sagen kann, aber es fiel mir nur "gute Besserung" ein. Wir unterhalten uns per E-Mail.

I just started learning German on Duolingo today, I need some suggestions. First of all I don't know where to learn it other than Duolingo, and how much time did y'all spend learning German and if it was a good choice or should I learn another language? Thank you, bye
