Title: German programmers??
Post by: p2 on June 25, 2011, 12:17:30 pm
Who is from Germany?
I've met many persons who speak a bit German, but they all were Dutch, French or English, or somethung else. (?>B)?)

IS THERE ANYONE ELSE FROM GERMANY??

I think Compu is from Germany, but I don't remember who else was. I'll move this to misc discussion because most german users have under 100 posts, this isn't spam, and the spam section requires 100 posts to be viewed D:

Let's formulate it like this: I'm not from Germany but my mother-tongue is German.

In english: How did you find Omnimaga? Actually this is an english forum.

Lol. I had to buy an Nspire for school and looked for games, and somehow I found Omnimaga and ndless and started developing for it (but I'm very inactive atm)

And btw, we shoudn't speak german in an english forum ;)

I think there might be a problem with the 100 posts thing. I can read the spam section.

Compu I hope you start again soon D:

Uhm strange. This must be a SMF bug then, or maybe it was set to a different count than 100. When someone else tested it, it was hidden until he had 100. :/

EDIT: I changed some stuff and have tested using a dummy account with 74 posts, and the spam section wasn't visible. I wonder if it's a browser side issue? It would be weird considering PHP is server-side.

I'm going to start learning German in next March or June (2012) because I noticed it's a very important language for the future, English is not enough.

The only problem is that German is only spoken in Germany ... (But that said, I've been learning German for 10 years :p )

True.  Good language to learn due to it's important use in Europe, like how French and English are needed for success in North American Countries.

By the way. German is a very difficult language, so it's sometimes hard to understand, especially the grammar.

I thought the grammar and sentence structure of English and German were similar, making German the easiest language to learn for English speakers. Though, English is also a very hard language to learn apparently. :P I could be wrong though.

I often hear that French got the hardest to learn grammar actually, but I also heard that German grammar wasn't easy too.

On a side note welcome back Anima. :)

Oh thanks, DJ_O. :)

Well, I can't speak French, but I also heard, that it isn't a very easy language.
Beside German I speak a little bit Russian and classical Latin, too.

From what I know, I can tell that:
German is quite hard to learn for French speakers, mainly due to the grammar !
And Russian is even harder, especially since the lexicon (?) is completely different ...
(and imho, English is very easy)

I've been to Germany twice or thrice, and I loved it; I'm probably gonna spend a semester or a year there for my studies =) !

Is it true that in German there are three genders?

I know in French the hardest part of grammar is usually all the stupid exceptions. Usually you asked the teacher why was a word written like it was, and the teacher told you there were no reason why, it was just like that and we just had to remember it.

As for English I always found it easy, but people say it's easy to write, but harder to speak. Maybe because of how different pronounciation, especially the "r" and "th" is. In French, "th" is pronounced as "t", for example.

Yes, we have three genders: Der/Die/Das ;)
This is one of the reasons why non-german people often find german difficult.

Russian isn't hard. There is just a different alphabet (no latin letters, like a, b and c), but the grammar is very easy to understand. I've got Russian since 2008 as a subject in my school and well, maybe my grades in Russian are so good, because of our very friendly teacher.

And English is easy, yeah but only in school, because as a German student it's a little bit difficult to write a long text in a forum like Omnimaga, where no one understands German.
By the way, I'm only 14 years old, so I've never been in America or England. Is it nice there?

I am not from Germany, but ich spreche ein bißchen Deutsch. :-)
I think German is more explicit than English (e.g. I search meaning of some English word and very often find > 30 meaning, where some of them have antagonistic meaning). Very difficult must be German for simultaneous translation (e.g.:verb is at the end of the side sentence, so the translator may need a big stack in his brain :-) )

A joke, which Germans probably do not understand:
Ich stehe nicht ver, ich bin Länder aus. ;-)

I am so good at English!!  ;)

This is a typical grammar mistake, which is often done by foreigners learning German, but it is never done by native Germans.

I picked Spanish as a language just because, but if I could I would take all that are offered (in my case Spanish, German, and French). I love languages, and actually find them really easy. I wish I could speak German. Actually, I wish there were really good internet tutorials for foreign languages.
