AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Ich hatte vier Jahre Deutsch Klasse, aber meine Deutsch ist nicht so gut.

This will be a handy refresher for me!

Ahem.


Still have not gotten list of dirty words.

Du bist ein Schweinhund!! >:U

Sure thing. Tatzel can too if she wants.

Anyway later today: articles and nouns (jobs)

Now that wordfilter is new. Great Handsome Oppressor, was that you?

Are we being serious here

I can't even tell anymore

This is the Internet. When are we not serious?

See roughly 90% of the entire board.

I'll do that seriously. Even though it's only like 4 people who are interested in it. Of course we can joke around and learn cursewords too down the line.

:U $10 says peole want curse words now.

D-vid, what about the word 'man'? I heard it means something similar to 'one' or something, I never really see it much in text books and the like though. Oh, und danke!

Yeah, "man" is a general term for the general public so to speak. You use it to say that what you are talking about applies to most people. You can translate it from one in sentences like "One is lead to believe, that...". It does not translate to one as in 1.

I'll record the voice clips for today's lesson in a few minutes.

Double post for twice the coolness.

Lesson 2: articles and nouns (jobs)

The second part of our class will be about German articles and nouns. As you probably know, every noun in German has a gender associated with it, either male, female or neutral. Accordingly, there are 3 articles that translate to "the".

the(m)........der........listen!

the(f)..........die.........listen!

the(n).........das.........listen!

The same goes for the word "a" if want to talk generally and not about a certain whatever. The male and neutral version is the same.

a (m, n).....ein........listen!

a (f)..........eine.......listen!

Lastly for now, I'll show you a few jobs. Every job has a male and a female version where in the female version you just add a -in at the end. Sometimes, if the job has a a, o or u inside, those become Umlaute (ä,ö,ü) when switching to the female form, but not always.

teacher......Lehrer/-in......listen!

pupil.........Schüler/-in.....listen!

doctor.......Arzt/Ärztin......listen!

baker.......Bäcker/-in.......listen!

With our new words, you are now able to say what you do by simply saying

"Ich bin ein/e <job>." or "Ich bin <job>."

Example: "Ich bin Schüler."

If you want to know a different job, just post it and I will tell you and record a clip for pronounciation. See you next time!

Y'all think I want to learn some daisies Commie-Nazi Language?! I'm from MURRKA, where we speak MURRKIN, DAMMIT!

Just a note D-Vid, you might want to link to the other lessons in your first post, so when this thread gets bigger people can find it easier.
