Hey, Idiot. What do you mean you haven't learned German

Deutsh es ist hart.

Wich is about all i can say on the language. Seriously, how do you expect non natives to learn when should we use die, der, das?

Wer sind diese blöde Kuhe ?

There's no need to learn how to write in German, A. because you'll likely never do it and B. because barely anyone in German reads serious literature anymore anyways and you'd be writing for a people that's as good as dead spiritually
But learning German well enough to read classic literature seems worth it

To the left is Herrmann "For the Artist, aesthetics replace morality" Hesse, to the right is Adolf "Thomas Mann" Hitler

>>9208562
Ach so. Hesse sieht klever aus.

>But learning German well enough to read classic literature seems worth it
Gibt es einfache deutsche schreibern ? die kurze Geschichte geschrieben haben. Ich glaube nicht dass es eine gute Idee wäre, Hesse oder Mann jetzt zu lesen. Immer nicht Kafka. Vieleicht Bernhard Schlink ? oder der Kommunist - was war seine Nahme ? der Arturo Ui geschrieben hat.

Is there a fun way to learn german?

Ich habe Homo Faber auf dem Regal und will es bald lesen. Das Problem ist mein kleiner Wortschatz.

I started learning German two years ago. I had tons of fun playing vidya with German voiceovers. Especially RPGs and adventure games coz they are dialogue-heavy. Also it gave more purpose to an otherwise timewasting activity.

>>9208761
did it actually work? How easily do you understand it now? Can you speak it at all?

>>9208778
I never speak it although I should find a language exchange partner or something. But my reading and listening comprehension skills improved a lot. I can actually find German books that I can read through fairly easily now, which is a huge thing for me. Last book I read was All Quiet on the Western Front and I almost never got bogged down (but Mann would be too dificult). Keep in mind that whatever I read/watch etc I always write down unknown words/phrases and later review it with Anki.
Also, another fun way to learn the language is to listen to classical music alongside its libretto. Some librettos actually have the English translation alongside the original text. My first one was Salome.
Here is a useful link if you wanna try out vidya in German without paying a penny:
http://learnoutlive.com/learn-german-with-adventure-games/
also old adventure games like these let you pause the audio mid sentence which is huge if you want to have time reading the subtitles and comprehending shit.
Also a link for librettos: https://www.cs.hs-rm.de/~weber/opera/libretto.htm

German is an ugly language

Warum deierses Mann habben schwartze fleisch? Eine tann?

>>9209289
Ich mean Hesse not Mann

I don't read second-rate literature.

The novel is a French and American art form, and the Russians had a brief streak of genius.

German literature is not good.

Personally, my native language is Arabic and I'm learning German right now and I find it really fun and interesting; I don't know why.
I'm learning not learning it just to read books, but because I am planning to do my masters in Germany.

> die, der, das
That's the only problem I have with the language, but if you read a lot while learning, you start to naturally memorize the Artikels.
You mostly have to memorize these, but there are some things that can make life easier: for example, most words that end with "ung" have a female Artikel (die). There are other similarities that you start to notice between words that have the same Artikel, but they're not rules, because you can have a lot of exceptions.
