Hello! I haven't posted in quite a while but I thought that I'd like to share some of my favourite pics from a (more or less) recent trip to the mountains.

Hope you have a nice day!

Little Venice collage🌞 The first three days of our stay were rather cold, foggy and gloomy. However, on day 4 the weather finally had heard our pleas and got a lot better. It was still very cold, but much more bearable than the days before. We thought that we'd escape the big tourist masses during wintertime but the week between christmas and new year's seems to be just as bad when it comes to mass tourism. But it is understandable, seeing how pretty Venice is! I hope you all have a nice weekend and happy new year!💞

DAS VS. DASS

Distinguishing between 'das' and 'dass' is one of the hardest challenges when learning German, and it's hard even for us native speakers! It's especially difficult for learners whose native language is English in my opinion, because both usually simply mean 'that'. However, not exactly the same kind of 'that'. In this post I'll try to show you how to distinguish these two by showing you what I usually do when having to choose between 'das' and 'dass'. 'Das' Article "Das Haus ist gross" "Er geht, das Mädchen folgt ihm" In these cases, 'das' is used as an article, however, it can seem a bit tricky after a comma. But when you can match the 'das' as an article to a noun, always write it with one s. demonstrative pronoun "Das ist gar nicht gut" "Sie sagte, das sei normal" In these cases, 'das' is a pronoun and the subject of a sentence, so 'das' can replace a noun and acts on its own. You can always check whether it is a demonstrative pronoun by asking (let's take the first sentence as an example) "wer/was ist gar nicht gut?" "DAS ist gar nicht gut". This one is the hardest to spot for me actually but after a while (and after refreshing German pronouns) it gets a lot easier. relative pronoun "Das Haus, das einen grossen Garten hat" "Das Kind, das den Nachbaren gebissen hat" Here 'das' refers to an object/the subject in the previous sentence part, in the examples above to "Das Haus" and "Das Kind". You can check that by substituting 'das' by 'welches' i.e. instead of "Das Kind, das den Nachbarn gebissen hat" "Das Kind, welches den Nachbarn gebissen hat", if that works then you're dealing with a relative pronoun which is very similar to the English version: "The child who/that has bitten the neighbour" 'Dass' Conjunction "Es geht nicht, dass er sie so behandelt" "Dass du mir nicht vertraust, verletzt mich" 'Dass' is only used in one instance; to link different parts of sentences, so it's similar to words like 'und' and 'oder' but unlike those to which link two main clauses, 'dass' always links a main clause with an subordinate clause, so unlike 'das' it does never depend on a noun. Unlike i.e. a relative pronoun, 'dass' can be shifted within the sentence as a whole, although it always stands at the beginning of the subordinate clause. Whenever I need to choose between 'das' and 'dass' in an essay or such, I try to first go through all the possibilities including a noun (article, relative pronoun, demonstrative pronoun) and if none of these can be applied, I am only left with 'dass'. And tada: that's how I try to not get confused with 'das' and 'dass', however, I am sure that there are other methods as well which are super helpful :^) Have a nice weekend, everyone!

Thank you kindly to @athenastudying for the tag :)

1. What languages are you/have you studied?

I’m studying German and making a start on Russian and Czech any day now (as I’m preparing to do them at university). I am also currently studying another language which I’m not revealing till September, and I’ve tried French before but that was toooo difficult. I also occasionally look at Luxembourgish.

Oh also at some point I keep meaning to start with Gothic but the grammar got me being like nopeity-nope.

2. How long have you been studying?

German for just over 1.5 years, Russian and Czech still TBA and the disclosed language only a handful of days :)

3. Did you learn through class or self-study (or both)?

German, both, but mostly self-study. I mainly used class as a source for getting mistakes corrected and having an external source of motivation as well as access to proficient German speakers. Czech & Russian will be through class also, whereas the undisclosed language is entirely self-study.

4. Why did you decide to learn this language?

German = I heard a German song and I liked it. That is genuinely the reason. I liked how it sounded and thought ‘hey wouldn’t it be cool to understand what’s being sung’ and here we are now!

Russian & Czech = Primarily so that I can one day hopefully read original Russian literature, and Czech.. can’t explain why, it just fascinates me. (Same reason for the undisclosed language).

Gothic = Honestly it looks fucking cool.

5. What was a major highlight/milestone in studying this language?

Oh goodness um. I suppose, when I went to Germany and managed to get through a week with almost entirely using in German that was a pretty amazing milestone. I went to museums, shopped and dined, visited other tourist attractions, watched German TV, went to the cinema [no subtitles!] and even attended a live performance. The performance was on my final night of being there and I’m gonna be honest and say I very nearly literally cried of happiness when I left because I was just so proud of everything I’d achieved to get to that point.

6. What was the hardest thing about studying this language?

Hmm. The German R is an absolutely ridiculous sound and should be banished. Also still trying to figure out the correct preposition to use… basically in any situation.

As for the undisclosed language, lol the grammar is just so extensive.

7. What resources did you find most useful for studying this language?

I learnt pronunciation primarily through listening to music and I learnt grammar by googling around, looking at examples and then replicating the grammar point in my essays. Dartmouth German Grammar website is pretty good as is the book Aktion Grammatik!. Aside from that, I use dict.cc, dict.leo.org, linguee and Duden for dictionaries, and I acquire most of my vocab nowadays through reading newspapers (or books), watching German TV shows or via memrise.

8. Any top tips for studying this language?

Conquer the grammar as quickly as possible, because there’s honestly not that much of it (only 6 tenses, 3 moods, 4 cases of which 1 is not really used in speech, adjective endings can be easily learnt with patterns, verb conjugations are sOSOsooOOOo easy compared to most languages) and then you can just focus on building up your vocab. Of course, immersion as well :-)

9. What’s your next major language goal?

Well I’d like to be on the cusp of B1 by mid-September for my undisclosed language; it’s a long shot but it might happen if I get off my ass.

As for German, hmm i don’t really know; which is my problem right now. I don’t have any concrete goals and so I spend time feeling like my German is shit but then I don’t actually know why I feel that way or what to focus on. I am considering giving reading more German literature a go and (google it) following the 'first 20 hours’ principle to see how much my reading skills and German improves within 20 hours.

10. Anything we can do in the tumblr community to get you there?

Name me some German books written within the last 20 years or so that are interesting and cheaply priced (or…free…in…areas of the internet…). Also you can like tell me how the f— you get to B1 cause I forgot how I did it with German it just kinda happened.

I shall tag @languagecollector @salutonriano @lernen-sie-deutsch-mit-mir @languages101 @gutrazdaofficial and god im sorry i know there are loadsss of you who regularly reblog my posts but its gonna take me ages to type you all out, but if you’re one of those people just write the post and then credit me ;)

Erstmals: dein Deutsch ist absolut fantastisch und ich habe die ganze Zeit gedacht, du wärest Muttersprachler :0 Und zweistens: welche Genres magst du so? Falls du Fantasy magst, würde ich dir "Tintenherz" und andere Bücher von Cornelia Funke empfehlen (habe sie selbst nicht gelesen, aber sie sollen wirklich sehr gut sein) und z.B. "Eragon". Falls du z.B. etwas eher "moderne" Bücher magst, so kann ich dir "Das Kind, das in der Polenta kocht" wärmstens empfehlen, aber achtung: Der Schreibstil ist wirklich sehr unkonventionell! Und falls du auf Liebesromane stehst, kannst du mich einfach fragen, da hab' ich genug Vorschläge😂 Leider kenne ich mich vor allem mit älterer deutscher Literatur aus (und vor allem auch Schweizer Literatur), also falls du irgendwelche Vorschläge von dieser Seite haben willst, keine Angst zu fragen!

Ps: du machst wirklich tolle und hilfreiche Posts, und ich hoffe es macht dir nichts aus, dass ich die Antwort in Deutsch geschrieben habe! (Und dass sie so lang geworden ist😅) Ich hoffe du hast einen schönen Tag und bleib' dran :)

Hey, it’s a good list, but in terms of recommendations I advise putting the plural forms of the words in brackets - e.g. der Rucksack(äe) or (Rucksäcke) - because German plurals are so irregular it makes life harder for people if they’re not in the list xD

Aa thank you so much for that recommendation! German plurals are gonna kill me one day🤔, so I'll make sure to add them, thank you again!

Langblr Music Project

I guess I should make my introduction now now that I have a few songs posted!

My name is Brooke and my langblr is @languagemoon This blog is designed to share music from different cultures and languages all over the world for language immersion, cultural appreciation, and enjoyment! I will often provide the original lyrics, a translation, and a transliteration (if applicable).

I have a wide variety of music in other languages that I collect and enjoy for myself personally, so I thought I’d share that with the rest of langblr, as there are so many gems around the world that many people have yet to discover.

I really hope that you guys enjoy this blog, and recommendations are always welcome! Also if you could help share this post and spread the word around, I would be eternally grateful!~
