All right.. time to learn some German :)!
Hello, there is this form before nouns i can’t quite understand what it means, ex: Das Gleichgewicht wird zum Verlust. I know it means the balance ist lost but what exactly is the usage here?
I’d assume that it’s the phrase “werden zu” which means “turn into”.
But I’d need more context to be sure.
Hallo alle zusammen!
Ich wohne in Queretaro, Mexiko und Ich möchte Deutsch lernen weil ich in Deutschland leben möchte. Ich hoffe, ich schaffe es.
Klar schaffst du das!! Viel Erfolg!
I started German at age 14 in school. Our first teacher was a Spanish teacher who just kept one lesson ahead of us. The second year we got a “real” (English) German teacher. She was horrified – we basically had to get GCE “O”level in one year. Then on to “ A” level, where we had to read texts like “Minna von Barnhelm”, where the characters were so polite, they would speak to each other in the third person – e.g. “möchte sie ein Glas Wein?“ This was super confusing – what with all the other words for “you”. The text that saved me was “Kleider machen Leute”. Although it was in Gothic script, it was a charming story that taught me the structure of the language. The downside was/is, I probably sound pretty archaic – in Ermangelung irgendeiner Berichtigung!
Wow, that does sound like a really odd approach to learning German.
A bit like the opposite of all the gamified apps that are floating around today, and all the cartoons.
When I learned French, my favorite grammar book was one from the 1920s… it was just more to the point that the contemporary stuff.
I’ve only just started learning (A1) but your articles are so interesting and easy to understand. Excited to improve my German!
Viel Spaß dann :)! I’ll see you at B1!
Ich liebe Deutsch!
Deutsch liebt dich auch (aber “tough love” :D)
I studied German for 1 year only but I like to follow Emanuel’s blog
I’m happy to hear that!
Freut mich zu hören!!
I’ve never studied German, but learnt a lot through classical singing. Unfortunately that’s not exactly conversational (!), and now my daughter and family live near Zurich. Recently widowed, I’m free now to travel more, and am trying to improve my vocabulary and listening speed as my grandchildren chat.
Your weekly emails have cheered me up such a lot since I joined you, and I love the way you present the information. I love Checker Tobi too, but it’s still rather fast….
I was fortunate enough to have been able to live in Germany, (Landsberg am Lech) for eleven years. I left to return to Seattle in 1987 to take care of my elderly parents. Although I’ve tried to keep up with my German I’ve gotten rusty and hopefully this will help me get back what I’ve lost!
I hope so too. Maybe start with “the essentials” of the grammar section and see how much feels familiar. And try and play around with the pronunciation tool, as well.
So, I’m enrolled on an intensive German course in Berlin at the end of June 2022. Which gives me three months to learn all the German I’ve forgotten – so that I don’t spend a fortnight in Germany just getting back to square one!
Then I’d recommend starting with the essentials section of grammar and after that go with what interests you.
Also, do the speaking exercises that I have slowly been putting up this year :)
faculty of language itself.*
My high school German teacher, Sylvia Jones, was an inspiration in life as well as in the use of language. Her inspiration led to further language studies and a degree in linguistics. So happy here to rekindle my love for German, a language that informed me about my native American English structure, evolution, and usage, and in turn fostered a fascination with the facility of language itself.
Glad you enjoy it :). Viel Spaß beim Lernen!
Let’s do this

Guten Tag,
I had a very good German teacher in high school who had us reading real German, literature by the 4th year. But at a very good university my German teacher was not very helpful, and fairly boring.
I was able to live and work for 9 months in what was then West Berlin right after my junior year in college. The work was in the officer’s mess of the British Army, near the famous Olympic stadium. We only went to East Germany once, shortly before we came back to the U.S.
Many years later, now, I’m trying to brush up on my now rusty German!
That’s a pretty common theme among my readers actually. There are quite a few who have a similar story with German… they know it back in the day and now want to rekindle the relationship :).
