Hello everyone,
and welcome to a new episode of the epic series
A quick practical guide to important German verbs
Or AQPGTIGV for short.
Yo yo yo, what’s up peeps, AQPGTIGV-time. Ya’ll ain’t ready for this!!!
Coffee is a hell of drink.
And you know what’s also a hell of a thing?
My new flexible height desk from FlexiSpot.
Yes, I may not have a TikTok, but I’m still an influencer :).
So, the folks over at FlexiSpot asked me if I was interested in trying out one of their standing desks, and I absolutely love it. I have some back problems, so it’s really great to be able to switch between sitting and standing. And the desk looks great and it feels like quality work, not just some random cheap garbage you can get on Amazon.
I have the EW8-BB if you’re wondering.
FlexiSpot is running a winter sale at the moment till the end of February so if you’re looking for flexible height desk or a chair, this might be interesting for you. Here are the links:

(Netherlands)
I think they also have stores in the US and Canada, so just check if you’re living across the pont.
But now let’s get to the article.
Many of you probably already know this series. In each episode, we take one of the most important German verbs and go over all the common structures and phrasings that you’ll need in daily life.
And the crucial part is, it’s not just in theory, but in actual real practice, because you… yes you, right there in front of the screen… you will have to SPEAK.
I am using an speech grading AI developed by EF languages which will give you feedback on your pronunciation, and while it’s not perfect and can NOT replace a native speaker, it’s still a really great way to learn because learning in theory is one thing, but actually speaking is another. And especially with these basic structures and sentences it’s great to get some actual mileage in, and not just theory.
Today, we’ll take a look at
gehen
And what we’ll learn is of course the conjugation and how to use it in past and present, thereby reviewing these concepts.
And we’ll also see how Germans use that weird little hin and we’ll learn a side meaning of gehen, that’s really really important in daily life.
So if you’re ready to jump in then let’s go.
