Life can be pretty funny. At high school I hated to study foreign languages (and I had 3!), but then, during university I started to travel a lot. I got interested in other cultures and learned Italian and – liked it. After graduating in Education science, I decided to go back to university to study Italian and Teaching foreign languages. And since then, that is what I am doing for almost my whole life, almost, I mean for the last 21 years, and I love it. After my masters degree in Languages with the focus in Teaching German as a Second Language I have been teaching first in Germany, then in Italy, later in China in New Zealand and now again in China, and of course, at all levels (A1-C2), preparing most of the German language exams (Start, Zertifikat Deutsch, Oberstufenprüfung, DSH, TestDaF- the last 2 for the German universities). Online tutoring is a quite new thing for me, but it is nice to see how almost every day the different countries where my students come from increase. I am a passionate language learner myself and still fighting with Chinese, but it means a lot of fun for me, and that is what I also want to give to my students. A new language opens a new world. To have fun, but at the same time to study seriously. We can have conversation in German, but it might not be the only thing we will do. You will also listen, than write and read (most of the time in your homework), and learn a lot of new vocabulary, and least but not last we might have to talk about some grammar questions. If you are interested in anything regarding German, have a look at my blog: whataboutgerman.wordpress.com Looking forward to meeting you!

    Hi Girish

    Definitely not. The use of präteritum has nothing to do with the regularity of verbs, but with the groups of verbs explained in my article and the different use.

    Susanne, das stimmt natürlich. Besser wäre es zu sagen, dass 'ja' generell etwas betont.

    That is actually a good question and a difficult one to answer, too. Because it depends on every single verb. For instance, 'möchten' can have 2 structures: either 'ich möchte es' or 'ich möchte, dass ...'. So, 'ich möchte es, dass ...' is wrong. For 'helfen', the situation is different, the prepositional pronoun is optional, so both sentences are correct. But for other verbs, let's say 'es geht um' it is mandatory: Es geht darum zu verstehen, wie diese Verben funktionieren. How to know which one is optional and which one is not? There is no rule. Basically, you have to know for every single verb, because very single verb has its own structure.

    Of course, there are 3 charts, so 3 kinds of declination. By the way, it is like in English :-) One is with the definite article, in English it would be 'the', e.g. I see the car. Another one is with the indefinite article, like in English 'a', for example, I want to buy a car. And the last one is without any of them, e.g. I like to drink red wine. Have a look here: https://fr.pinterest.com/pin/35465915794604768/ Hope it helps. If not don't hesitate to ask me.

    Eher selten mit dem Artikel, sondern meistens mit dem Possessivpronomen, also in deinem Satz: Ich schenke meinem Vater ein Buch. Auf keinen Fall: dem Vater. Wenn man mit anderen Familienmitgliedern spricht, auch: Ich schenke Vater ein Buch. Dann wird 'Vater' wie ein Eigenname verwendet. Aber das geht nicht mit anderen Leuten. Den Artikel benutzt man nur bei Beschreibungen/Erzählungen, z.B. Auf dem Foto ist eine Familie. Der Vater steht hinter dem Großvater etc. Hoffe, das hilft.

    Zunächst einmal: In der Kürze liegt die Würze. Wenn man etwas kürzer ausdrücken kann, ist das erst einmal gut. Das ist natürlich vor allem für die Schriftsprache so. Beim Sprechen ist es nicht wichtig, ob es ein Wort mehr oder weniger gibt. Wir benutzen diese Sätze auch beim Sprechen, allerdings nicht so oft. Der erste Satz ist aber eindeutig besser als der zweite. Warum? Der erste hat einen Konjunktiv II, damit ist klar, dass der Satz eigentlich ein 'wenn'-Satz ist. Der zweite Satz ist auf den ersten Blick nicht ganz klar, hier würde ich auf jeden Fall die Konjunktion verwenden.

    Nom.: Beide kommen. Akk.: Ich sehe beide. Dat.: Ich helfe beiden. Gibt es noch mehr Wörter, die 'both' bedeuten, wenn sie ins Englische übersetzt werden/die mit 'both' ins Englische übersetzt werden können? Ich denke nicht.
