Learning German..

[OblivionMage]

Well,
My family is pretty much all from Germany (or England) and although many of my grandparents speak German I cannot .

I am taking German lessons next semester, but was wondering if there was a good way that I could learn to at least type it/read it from the computer? I have heard that using google translator and flipping through the German-English then trying to respond in German is a good way to learn. Anyone have suggestions? Thoughts?


Cheers & Gutenacht

u should just speak/write in german.
exercise is the best way to learn.
make some german friends and speak with them. it aint so tough.
but i guess the grammatic will be horrible

Thanks alot for the translator and the resource site, they should be very useful. I must admit how terrifying is when an admin (or co-admin) says something that you cannot begin to guess at, other then 'das' can mean 'the'. Here is what I came up with;

wie assi kann man eigentlich sein , lasst das gefälligst

-'wie' seems to be 'as', or 'how'
-'assi' I have no clue about, I heard that it is an abbreviation for 'assistant' but that is english..
-'kann' seems to be a word that, when used with other words, can mean 'can' or 'cannot'
-'man' = you, or at least it can be
-'eigentlich' = actually, infact
-'sein' = his, or its
-'lasst' = Lets, or lets go
-'das' = the/who/which
-'gefälligst' = kindly

So that would be;
As ___ can you his, lets which kindly?
On another site I got; as assi one can actually be, leaves kindly

What does assi mean :/

Asozial

Anti-social, in this case failing @ being funny.
Forum trolls everywhere.

Since it's rather a rhetorical question, translating it won't help you to get his point.

well lets start with the basic....
there are 3 basic types of words
"subjekt" "prädikat" and "objekt"
subjekt is the person ur talking about, for example. "he" or "dog". "prädikat" are verbs. like "gehen" or "sprechen". and objekt are things like "home" or "bone"
the wordorder is like "S" "P" "O" in example: "ich gehe nach hause".that means: i go home, but im not sure about "nach" which is "to", since its a word only germans need. thats cuz u cant say "ich gehe hause".
so now u know the basic wordorder. now learn the basic verbs. and learn how to bend them.
in example:
"ich gehe" i go
"du gehst" u go
"er/sie/es geht" he she it goes
"wir gehen" we go
"ihr geht" u go
"sie gehen" they go

ok thats it for now.
please dont start learning what i said before any other german agreed with me.

ps: "wie assi kann man eigentlich sein , lasst das gefälligst" means "ur such jerks, stop that".
