Any German speakers want to help me learn German?

Question

I'm a linguistics student in the US, and I've started out trying to learn German. Right now, I'm using 'l'allemand sans peine' and FSI German courses. I'd really like to speak with actual German speakers though, as it's different than learning from a book and audio.

Answer 1

there are like 5 different dialects of german in germany.  most older folks wont understand the correct proper english (hoch deutsch)  unless you talk to someone from a large city.  They will use for example the region slang or the town slang...example is where I live the say Was issn des? rather than ''was ist das''...but audio is a great start thats how I learned and then you pick up the rest later by trying to talk to germans....Good luck ...macht spass..

Answer 3

German language is not so easy to learn. Better you visit some German websites, also chat rooms, I don't know you can see German TV channels, this will be good too, reading help, and talking also. Dictionary, always look for the new words. I speak good German, if you want, you can contact me also.

Good luck.

Du koenntest auch in einen deutschen Chatraum gehen und dort mit anderen Deutschen chatten. Das hilft Dir dann auch weiter. Viel Spass beim lernen. Gruss Priscilla

Answer 5

I can't help you, but I just wanted to comment that "most older folks wont understand the correct proper german (hoch deutsch) unless you talk to someone from a large city" is absolutely untrue, everyone understands Hochdeutsch, it's the only language spoken on national television and radio ;-) There are regional varieties, but even if people grew up in some remote little town and speak a heavy dialect at home are they able to speak and understand normal German.
