Guten Morgen aus Deutschland, nimm ein Brötchen
Das geht doch besser

Die Mohntagsknuspersonne oder den Mehrkorngoldmohnd?
(sorry this joke is probably impossible to understand for non-Germans)
yes
Danke!
Ich lieben Brötchen!
Schlaf gut.
Gute Nacht
Jetzt schon?

In a couple years you’ll be able to read German fluently… Without knowing how to speak it.
Ironically, it’s one of the few languages that English speakers have an easier time advancing their lingual fluency through literacy, in my experience. (former ESL teacher, international hospitality liaison, etc.)
That’s probably because early Germanic languages formed the base of the early English language, even before we “added” a ton of French and other shit through (actual and) cultural conquest.
If you look through language roots, English splits from Germanic at some point close enough to make the rules logical going from English to German but probably not the other way around, idk.
This is quite true. 🤓🤘🏼
I started learning German from my dad’s Jr. Highschool book from the 1960s but had no one around who spoke German. My pronunciation was… interesting (even trying to mimic what the guide was telling me in the front of the book). When I finally tried to speak to people, it was also funny to learn that several things were quite out-of-date (Feder vs Kuli I think was one).
I’m in europe, but I’ve actually been learning german these past few months so i see German posts as free practice
I read German memes to practice German.
Same but I’m from Australia. Ich_iel is pretty much German Duolingo to me at this point.
Another one making the mistake of learning German by ich_iel-memes.
Be aware that part of ich_iel humour in no small part consits of comically literal translations of English expressions. That has nothing to do with proper German and as a learner you probably won’t be able to spot the difference.
Bad idea to try to learn German there.
Oh boy, you’re learning Zangendeutsch
Yeah it is pretty good practice for puzzling out meaning
The German on ich_iel can be “creative”

I’ve, legit, learned a decent amount of German just by having Google translate up on my second monitor browsing lemmy late at night.
I was gonna make a Midnight Oil joke, then remembered they’re all 'Strayan.
…it’s okay; they do metric, too…
jealous of Team Metric 🤓
yup that is also my signal for “you have exhausted all the English lemmy content from now on it is all Deutschland”
Which feed? It sure as fuck isn’t lemmy
I see this all the time on mastodon
Oh no it’s definitely Lemmy. Probably depends where your home server is and who you’re federated with. And where in the US you live (because of timezones)
Hard to believe. There just isn’t enough activity on lemmy. My feed hardly changes throughout the day, and very little is German regardless of the time of day.
But then again I browse “All” and nothing else.
Try exploring outside your instance and subscribing to a few feeds. You might be surprised!
U can filter by language
The Germans make some awesome memes though.

engineeringmemeing.The Germans make some efficient memes though.
Honestly, infant English got none of that gene.

But then I’ll never sleep

You can actually select what languages you want to see in settings. Which is a step up from reddit. Only weird thing is you ALSO have to select “undetermined” language besides English and whatever else.
Is that option available in voyager? I don’t see it.
Die Amis schlafen…
1 Meter = 10 Decimeter = 100 Zentimeter
1 Kilometer = 1.000 Meter
I forgot that your heathens use “.” Instead of “,” in numbers. I was very confused
Swiss system is best system: apostrophes for thousands, either dot or comma for decimals. Completely unambiguous for anyone even if you’re seeing it for the first time: 12’345.67
I hate how it looks but I can’t deny the superiority
That is interesting. I like it. Wondering if I can use it at work or in code. Hmmm
It’s called a decimal point. No wonder you don’t understand.
In my learning a decimal point comes after the integer. So it would mean 1km == 1 m
10 °C.
Nene Kelvin ist besser (sofern es nicht um Wasser geht).
1 Liter Wasser = 1 Kilogramm
1000 Liter = 1 Kubikmeter
