Vielen vielen Dank. Es ist sehr gut erklärt!!:)

I use German on Xbox and with my friends just to annoy people X) Their all like "What!?"

[tvr390se]

At 7:46 in the video it says that:

They are learning German = Sie lernen Deutch.

Before the German answer came on screen I'd already said out loud, "Sie sind Deutch lernen" with the verb at the end, as I thought German was supposed to be?

There's nothing wrong with my translation is there? I don't fully "think" in German when I speak it so I feel compelled to use the "are" qualifier. Without "are" in the English sentence it would sound retarded.

[lunyteve]

@tvr390se Germans do not say "we are learning german" They don't use that progressive tense.

"Sie lernen Deutch" can be translated as: "They learn German," "They are learning German," or "They do learn German" its a bit difficult to get used to if you are a native english speaker because it feels natural to put "are" in the sentence.

[Sicklehead88]

@tvr390se there is one easy thing to remember: get rid of the present progressive when you speak german, always use present tense. we just have the normal present tense. so "sie lernen deutsch" means "they learn german" and "they are learning german" ;-)

[nuvaboy]

@tvr390se if you think you "have to" add some "progressiveness" into the present tense, u can do another thing:

e.g.: you are learning (German) >> Du bist am (Deutsch) lernen

so it's: form of "sein" (e.g. "er ist") + "am" (meaning "at") + verb (with all additions in front)

"additions" can be objects for example (What am I learning? > German Was (acc.) lerne ich? > Deutsch

as you can see, this construction doesn't work in questions, we often prefer to say:...

[nuvaboy]

... Ich lerne gerade Deutsch >> I learn German right now.

subject + predicate + "gerade" (meaning "right now") + (additions of the predicate, e.g. object(s))

got it? There are two different ways to "emulate" the progressive form of a tense, though the first is more literal, but the 2nd is the more common one

[antideath1]

du brauchst etwa drei oder vier Monate Deutsch lernen. Es dauert sehr lange aber ich bin vertraue das ich will unbedingt der Erfolg. Danke für alles

[taleb47]

Danke

[weldkenitra]

thanks for the video..but I think that the translation of "was machst du is not correct.

was machen Sie? Or Was macht sie? is what a person does . So the right translation, I think, is what do you do ? What are you doing is a present continuous!!! God knows..however.

[rosereddoll]

@weldkenitra No, it's correct. Actually, asking what a person does and what a person is doing is asking the same question. The difference is, in English, idiomatically, "what do you do" has an occupational slant. "Was machst du" has the same feeling as "what are you doing", so that is used as the translation. And yes, it is a present continuous. Hope that helps a bit. : )

[MrShanester]

Vielen Dank DeutschOnlineLernen fur die Lektion!

[celebritybaby]

um i've got a question, on exercise 3, on "i am learning" how come its only "ich lerne" and not "ich bin lerne"?

[dasgellendehorn]

@celebritybaby - german hast lost progressive form ( learnING) some 150 years ago. althou in some german dialects - or even better some kids' language in certain areas of germany - theres still kinda progressive form: "ich bin am lernen". correct, but oldfashioned of "ich lerne" in progressive form would be: "ich bin lernend". we still can get the meaning of "lernend", but extinct.

[Iputhebapu]

Its funny to see how other's try to learn german^^

[xNewskaterx]

Zum Glück bin ich Deutscher und kann deutsch englisch zu lernen ist einfacher :-)

[thundernuts0]

danke für die Lektion :)

[helioringer]

Trex6980: I am from = Ich komme aus... biloccaman: hard (difficult) = schwer xMontyxx: If you really have trouble getting your keyboard to switch between English and Deutsch, try going to wikipedia, searching "german alphabet," and copy/pasting the letters

[1029blue]

@helioringer

Or you could use "Alt codes". That's what I do. The only problem is that you would have to learn the codes by heart or have a list close to your keyboard.

[xMontyxx]

This is great an all but I wish I had a deustch keyboard for the umlauts etc.

[thundernuts0]

Ä = (hold alt and press 0916 and release alt)(same for the rest)

ä = ( alt 0228)

Ö = ( alt 0214)

ö = ( alt 0246)

Ü = ( alt 0220)

ü = ( alt 0252)

ß = (alt 0223)

those are all the unique german letters. you can also press alt and hit certain numbers for other unique characters. (theres like thousands of combinations.)

[karlectron]

Correction for A with Umlaut is Ä = (alt 0196)

Google ASCII codes for more.

[mokdadmm]

@thundernuts0 , Thank You!

[biloccaman]

nein es ist nicht hard!!!!!!!!!!!

[Trex6980]

[HesseJamez]

@Trex6980

if dutch is your mother's tongue, german isn't that hard to learn - it's very similar and you might understand 70% anyway.

[Cesar1989S]
