RE: Funny Mistakes in English Class - Inappropriate Edition
Would you be interested in making a german course here on Steemit? I planned on doing it anyways and I would not mind having a professional involved, especially when german is not his native language.
That sounds kind of fun, how are you thinking of making that happen?
I would like to give a special tag like #learngerman. I thought that we maybe coordinate the first few posts we make in the tag so we that we cover the basics together and then just post individually in the tag, ofc I would like to bounce ideas of each other, but I don't really want to plan out 1 year of german lessons.
I am a little lost on how to start introducing people to the language. I thought of covering the pronunciation of the vocals at first, because I feel like that is biggest difference in German and English language on the other hand it might not be that engaging of a post...
Sounds fun. It may be worth just having an initial post that talks about the similarities between German and English since both are Germanic languages, point out some cognates and build the motivation to learn German with some fun and easy examples. Present some of the best online references for learning German etc.
No need to really plan out a year in advance, there is a logical progression of cases and most frequent vocabulary. You have any books about learning German as a foreign language? And one of us can start a thread in our blog where we can have a running conversation of what to do, which at the end of the adventure we can reference as a history for a write-up on the experience.
I am still very much learning steemit, I am not sure how the hashtags work...
Yeah that sounds like a much better idea for a first post. Thanks.
I don't have a book for learning German as a foreign language. Do you have any recommendations?
You can search for tags, https://steemit.com/trending/deutsch like this with deutsch being the tag.
Pretty much the Bible for German grammar in the US is "Hammer's Grammar" for advanced students. For beginners, the Na klar! series has been around for a long time (I had this if I remember correctly). I have also heard of but not used the Willkommen! series. I wouldn't necessarily say buy one (maybe you can find one online?), but taking a look at the table of contents could give some rough structural guidelines.
thanks for the recommendations
