never_again said:I've never watched CSI in German, I have watched CSI:Miami in French when I went to France. I had the subtitles on and managed to understand it OK, I don't know if I would be able to understand German though, because I've been learning it for half as long!
Yes, it's difficult to understand. And often the German voices aren't as good as the original voices.
DaWacko said:I am so having bad memories with German grammar
Oh yes, the German grammar isn't easy. There are some rules I learnt when I was at school, but for example the thing with Dativ, Genitiv, and so on I never really understood. Don't know why. :lol:
Okay, because nobody is writing anymore, here is something to learn:
Making sentences:
It's not very difficult. (I had Japanese for half a year, it's sooooo different)
For example:
I read a book.
S V O
And in German:
Ich lese ein Buch.
S V O
You see- it's the same. I used the Simple Present. The only difference is the word- ending. You only have to take the infinitive of the verb (read = lesen). As you know from our lesson before, les
en = ich les
e.
If you want, you can try it on your own and ask me if there are questions.
My sentences for you.
I eat pizza. (I = ich, eat = essen, pizza = Pizza).
I write a letter. (write = schreiben, letter = Brief).
I don't use the continuous form, because as far as I know there isn't a continuous form in German. Or if there is one I don't know the rule for it, so I use the Simple Present if it's okay! :lol: Have fun with my sentences! And if there is something wrong, please tell me, I don't want to teach you something wrong!
