I know some German (B1), but it's been a few years since I had classes and those posts help me brush up my German (though they are a bit advanced for my level).

Trouble with ich_iel is that they usually translate English words literally into German. Even names or English words that exist in German. The worse the translation the better.

So, uh, don't learn everything from them.

What, my first dialect of German shouldn't be epic memer?

How can you do Zangendeutsch/Denglisch like that?

[–] neumast@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago (2 children)

My favorite is using "Windleitblech" for spoiler.

I invented this one like 8 months ago 😁

[–] neumast@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Genial! Ist mittlerweile Teil meines alltäglichen Wortschatzes 😄

Was Zangendeutsch angeht hat es tatsächlich fast nur Kühl für Cool in meinen alttag geschaft. Da nutz ich mit einem Kumpel auch immer 🥶 diesen emoji wenn etwas cool is statt denn sonnbrillen emoji hnd keiner checkts. Das is schon lustig haha

So, uh, don’t learn everything from them.

It could be worse. Like using a cat as a training partner for language learning.

...I'm still trying to unlearn "Miaument".

I doubt the issue is your ability to speak/read German but the heavy use of Zangendeutsch.

[–] BlastboomStrice@mander.xyz 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why would anyone do that😔

(Tnx for the site btw)
