Welcome to the place to learn the German Language! Come here to discuss topics or quirks related to the German language, ask any questions about learning German, provide tips to current learners, and share your journey through the German-learning process!

RULES

Make sure anything you plan on asking has not already been answered.
No harassing someone over their level of the language of German. Everyone starts somewhere.
No harassing period actually. Obviously no bigotry falls under this category.
In general, no low effort posts or spam. If you ask a question and it didn't receive much engagement, don't go on to ask it again immediately, at the least remove the original copy.
No NSFW. This rule has its loose limits and some exceptions (i.e. commenting on German "dirty talk" and whatnot is alright).
Mods are the interpreters of these rules, and have jurisdiction over other cases where a rule isn't explicitly mentioned here, but it is a common sense rule.
This community is largely for English speakers learning/discussing German. Other languages aren't outright banned yet, but expect minimal support. If other communities arise for German help in other languages, then those languages will be barred from this community in favor of the new one.

Hello German learning community. :)

I, a native German speaker and language learning enthusiast myself, are happy to help if you have any questions while learning German. Whether it's about grammar, phrases, special wording you need help understanding, any quirks or whatever you'd like to know, just feel free to ask.

I've decided to not give any unasked advice in other threads or posts, because I don't want to disturb your learning experience. Therefore I make this an open offer so that it's totally up to you if you wanna accept my help or not. :)

I am not a teacher of any kind, so my help is far away from being professional. But as I said, I like learning languages myself and also exchanging about it and helping each other out. So I'd be glad if I could help you in any way.

Ich bin gespannt auf eure Fragen und wünsche euch weiterhin viel Erfolg und Spaß beim Lernen!

Edit: Because of some federation issues I cannot see some comments to my post and if I cannot see them on my instance I can unfortunately not answer to them, as well. So if you ask any question and I'm not reacting then it's not that I'm ignoring you, but it's probably due to federation not happening probably. :( I hope, this will get better in the future with further developement of the threadiverse software.

That's really great! I think a native speaker who can say, "that doesn't sound right, we say it like this" can be a huge help!

Happy to hear that my offer is appreciated. :)

Unfortunately I realized that your comment is the only one I can see so far on my instance (kbin.cafe) even though there are some other comments as well which I saw on the original instance of the community. Seems like the federation isn’t working well here. :(

So, if I happen to not answer to any questions: I’m not ignoring you, it’s probably rather some federation issues that are getting in our way. But I’m confident that this will get better with further development. :)
