Topic 1. Comprehensible Content resources for Vocabulary Building
One of most important things in A1-B1 levels is to learn as much possible words/phrases to be able to speak and write (for everyday conversational fluency generally you’ll need 5,000 words you can actively use in conversation and 10,000 that you can passively understand. This is a big goal that takes lots of time studying one or two hours every day). More on why comprehensible content is important below*
And for this you both need:
Below is outputs from peer-discussion session on this topic by AEI faculty students from University of Bonn, organised & moderated by Amina Noureen and Anna Afanaseva, on 5th of August 2025
Disclaimer: this can be a lot, please do not look at this things as a must, but as a possible options, some of which you can use and incorporae in your learning journey.
Most important of all is to enjoy learning, so you can do it everyday little by little, do not overburden yourself!
* Although partially understanding input is enough, it’s more efficient if you mostly understand it, as your brain will have an easier time with pattern identification. But as a beginner, you’ll have a hard time mostly understanding anything, so here’s what we recommend: • Find input that’s comprehensible by default thanks to visual context. When you can look at pictures and gestures while the speaker is talking, it’s possible to understand what they’re trying to say even when you don’t know any or most of the words or grammar involved. • Make your input more comprehensible with preparation and techniques. Here are some example techniques: - Study words or grammar, and then, try to notice them while reading or listening. - Read the plot of a TV show episode before watching it (or simply watch a TV show you’ve seen before in your native language since you’ll already know the plot well). - Use a popup dictionary to quickly look up the meanings of unknown words in your reading. As your comprehension grows, you’ll find that you need to rely on these support tactics less and less, and then eventually — you’ll understand native speakers with no help at all.

1. What was the best way you learned Deutsch words and phrases before? What content we watch, read? Where or how do we find it?
Reources for all levels: from basic to advanced
Hi,I'd like you to now be my Spanish Tutor. Your goal is to help me practice my Spanish, improve my vocabulary, correct my grammar mistakes and give me suggestions on how my ideas can be expressed in a more natural way. You will follow the following process:
1. Your first response will be to give me an easy prompt to respond to. Please wait for me to provide my answer.
2. Based on my input, you will then generate 4 sections:
a) Corrected Response. (Please correct everything, even small grammatical errors or article agreements.)
b) Explanations of every correction
c) Suggestions (give me ways I could improve my answer to sound more natural and fluent. If appropriate, introduce me to new vocabulary or phrases which I could use to enrich my responses or express my ideas more naturally or concisely. If there was a part of my writing that seemed especially fluent or natural, please highlight that to me. With your suggestions, if appropriate, please give me example sentences in Spanish to illustrate what your suggestions could look like if implemented.
d) Follow-up (Write a couple sentences in response to mine. Then give me a new follow-up question related to my answers and your previous questions.)
3. We will continue this iterative process with me giving you more written responses and you correcting my Spanish and giving me feedback.
4. When I say “Done.”, I want you then to give me a summary of:
a) The errors I made during our practice session (list the instances as bullet points)
b) A bullet point summary of all new vocabulary, structures or phrases that you introduced me to
c) a quick summary of how it seems that my Spanish skills are improving.

2. How to learn Deutsch words and phrases? Word memorization techniques. Learning tips I found in books
You do not need to learn by heart/memorize words/phrases per se, you can use content and rewatch/relisten it to memorize it. And do like subconscious acquisition of vocabulry by consuming content in Deutsch
Here’s a detailed, practical summary of how they advise using Anki for language learning in this conversation:
Core stance
- Anki is a narrow tool. It’s good for preventing retrieval failure of specific items, especially short, isolated facts. It does not, by itself, build the broader skills required for language mastery (grammar, syntax, procedural fluency, fast retrieval in conversation, flexible use across contexts).
- Flip the default. Prioritize immersion, dialogue, and interleaved practice first; use Anki as a targeted supplement and often as a last resort.
When to use Anki
- After real use fails to stick: Start with conversations, reading, and varied practice. If certain items still won’t stick despite interleaving and contextual practice, “brute force” them with Anki temporarily.
- For recognition needs (reading-heavy goals): If your goal is reading newspapers/novels where you must recognize low-output, literary words, Anki can help as recognition cards (sentence cards with only one unknown word, i+1). But results are better when those items also get reinforced in real context.
- For domain bursts: If you’re entering a specialized domain (e.g., investing), they debate two strategies:
- Host advocates “front-load the top 100 domain words” to reduce lookups in the book.
- Justin prefers “start with the material, look up words as they appear, and only add to Anki if it still doesn’t stick,” arguing this is more efficient and context-rich.
How to select items
- Use a frequency-driven, context-first pipeline:
- Keep a notebook at work/life. Note unknown words as they naturally appear.
- Tally how often each appears over a week.
- Prioritize learning the most frequent unknowns first via interleaved, contextual practice.
- Only then, if a word still resists, add it to Anki.
- For very infrequent, seasonal terms (elections, taxes): If you truly need them and they won’t appear again soon, Anki can maintain a light connection. But beware scalability and opportunity cost; most gains come from higher-frequency vocabulary and broader fluency that unlocks richer contexts.
How to structure cards
- Prefer sentence cards for recognition (one unknown in an otherwise understood sentence). This aligns with comprehensible input (i+1).
- Focus on meaning-in-context over decontextualized word -> translation pairs, unless the latter is the only way to get it to stick.
- Keep decks lean. If you have hundreds of new cards pending, you’re likely over-adding. Justin suggests most people should cut from “three–four hundred” down to “fifty–sixty.”
Rules for adding/removing (Justin’s “rule of three”)
- Add threshold: If a word/concept appears in one study session up to three times and you still can’t recall it on the third encounter, add it to Anki.
- Remove quickly on mastery: If you can correctly recall a new card three times in a row, remove it from the deck (don’t let it linger).
- Escalate on persistent failure: If across any five consecutive reviews you miss it three times, more repetition won’t fix it. Do a deeper dive:
- Explore etymology, morphology, usage constraints, or richer contexts.
- Build extra connections rather than hammer more reps.
Daily load and pacing
- Keep new items low. Even “10 words a day” can be heavy once you include consolidation and practice.
- Avoid massive queues and all-day review grinds. If you’re slipping without daily reviews, the system is too big.
- Aim for sustainability: small, high-yield Anki sessions that support, not replace, real-language use.
Practice methods that should come before (or alongside) Anki
- Interleaving: Practice the same function/word across multiple angles and contexts. Example: don’t just drill “How was your day?” Create multiple variations and branching replies to learn where a word fits, how it flexes with syntax, and how it changes with collocations.
- Comprehensible input plus output: Consume content you mostly understand and produce language at your edge.
- Pushed output: Force yourself to say things in ways that feel slightly uncomfortable so you expose gaps and create “learning events.”
What not to do
- Don’t make Anki your primary learning method. “Start with Anki, end with Anki” misses most learning mechanisms (context, interleaving, output).
- Don’t warehouse everything in flashcards (e.g., every new term from a science chapter). Many terms will stick naturally after you finish the chapter or use them in context.
- Don’t let Anki dominate your life. Horror stories include 6–7 hours per day, 3,000-card backlogs, and mental health strain. If you only have 20–30 minutes, choose immersion and conversation over Anki.
Special cases
- Pure recall items (e.g., prefecture locations, state capitals, kanji readings) are more suited to Anki because they are simple one-to-one mappings.
- Even then, prune aggressively and ensure periodic real usage where possible.
Bottom line workflow
1) Immerse and converse first; design interleaved, branching practice.
2) Track unknowns and their real-life frequency.
3) Prioritize high-frequency unknowns; learn them via context.
4) Add to Anki only if an item resists after multiple contextual encounters (rule of three).
5) Remove fast on mastery; if stuck, enrich context instead of spamming reviews.
6) Keep decks small and sustainable; protect time for input/output.

Below is full AI transcription from the discussion (not always correct, but still you can double check something that mentioned above and see how it was discussed in the meeting):
What was the best way you learned Deutsch words and phrases before?
Okay, so the first question for us to discuss and you can again unmute yourself if you want, right, or you can write in the chat if you are not able to speak. So what was the best way you learned Deutsch words and phrases before?
Do you remember, like, can you recall what was the most useful, most effective way you learned Deutsch words and phrases? Okay, I can share my example. I think the best way that I learned Deutsch phrases, it was, of course, in the course, in the group course, we had a textbook, and with textbook you have, like, for example, dialogues, right?
For example, we learned how to present ourselves, and then we need to also write some sentences with these words, and then also speak, like, say something, like, present ourselves specifically with these words. So that was, like, the best way how I learned is these specific situations, and then we had dialogues with that, or text, or something, and we use these words to write our sentences or speak these words with some kind of sentences, very simple sentences, of course. Yeah, so what was your best way, maybe, guys, who wants to share?
[Speaker 4]
I think I can share a bit. So I use Duolingo, and if you repeatedly practice German language on it, you can just remember words or, like, memorize them. I haven't been a consistent learner, because I was still completing my bachelor's, but, like, on and off, I practice on that app.
[Speaker 1]
Awesome, thank you. Anyone else? Amina, do you remember how you, what was the best way for you to learn search words and phrases?
[Speaker 2]
Honestly, I have learned it very random. I attended classes, but I never opened my books. This is vocabulary.
I'm actually here to learn how to learn vocabulary. Oh, there are two Aminas. I'm sorry, maybe the other Amina, please go ahead.
[Speaker 3]
No, I just wanted to add, this might be a little, I watch news in German a lot. I'm still learning. Yeah, it's a good way.
Yeah, I watch news in German. It's amazing.
[Speaker 2]
Recently, I heard from someone watching Tag's show that is going to help to learn the language, but I have never personally used it, so I can't say anything. What, again, Tag's show, what is that? Yeah, it's a, on YouTube channel, there is small shots or, like, news scripts, something along those lines.
[Speaker 1]
Can you send us, then, the link? Yes, I can do that.
[Speaker 2]
Okay, it's also on ARD. Those people who are in Germany, you could use this channel called ARD. Or Mediathek.
Even if you're not in Germany, it's pretty free, so you could use it to watch movies in German. Yeah. Yes, what actually I did mostly was watching Netflix in German, the shows that I've already watched.
We watched them. With subtitles, right? Yeah, of course.
I use, there is this cool feature on Netflix that I tried yesterday. You could have double subtitles. You have to add the extension.
It's called bilingual subtitles on your Microsoft Edge or Chrome, and then you could have, like, English subtitles or, like, you know, your language and German. So that's a really cool feature.
[Speaker 3]
Okay, I think that the best way to, you know, learn a language intuitively, like, there's a way that when you hear something, you know it's right or it's wrong, and it, like, it embeds itself in your brain. It's to watch shows and, you know, listen to people talk in that language. I think that could help a lot.
[Speaker 2]
By the way, if I may request, could some of you please turn on your videos? It seems like you're talking to us. It would be really nice to see the faces.
[Speaker 1]
Yeah, I will not show this recording to anyone else. This recording will be used only for audio, basically.
[Speaker 2]
Yeah, I mean, of course, we understand if you have, like, some genuine excuse and doesn't work, that's fine. It would be nice to, you know, see who are the people that we're talking to. One other thing that really helped me was just talking to people and reading small stories.
In Germany, there are, like, really small booklets that you could use and just read them. They're, like, same stories that we have learned in the childhood, and then you read them. Yeah.
[Speaker 5] Okay, cool.
ChatGPT and Books Tips on how best to learn phrases and words in German
[Speaker 1]
That's a good way, but I also wanted to speak to you a bit the way we actually do it, like, the way we actually learn. So, I asked JGPT to give me best tips to learn phrases and words, and basically, what he suggested, this is the way. So, first of all, you also know, you all know that English and German are very similar, because they're, like, one language family, proto- Germanic similarities.
They do have them, and apparently, there is a lot of words like that. So, bear with me. I will give you, like, a small retell, like, I will explain you what JGPT said, okay?
Sorry. So, first of all, is this kind of cognates. I don't know specifically this kind of linguistic term, but it means that some kind of words are very similar from German and English.
For example, there can be perfect cognate, which means that they even hear similar, you can hear them similarly, and then they mean also very similar things. For example, apple and apple, they are very, very similar. Then also, they can have a partial cognates, which means sound shifts.
For example, P can change to F, F can change to P, like, light can change to leicht. So, some specific sounds can shift it. Abdullah wrote, getting Hochstapler syndrome with the handful phrases I know.
Can you explain this? Because I didn't understand this, Abdullah. [Speaker 5]
Can you? What I mean is, my entire knowledge of German is, like, some football phrases and a few weeks of Duolingo.
[Speaker 1]
Oh, okay. This is for the previous question, okay, right? Oh, okay, gotcha.
Okay, so, for the cognates, if we're getting back, so, yeah, there's partial things with sound shifts. And if you google, you actually can google, for example, some specific words or sounds that shifts from German to English or from English to German. For example, there is Hilfe, which is word for help, right?
So, this is another example with leicht and leicht, Hilfe and help. Then there is long words, like, borrowed words. So, in English, there is some German words, Kindergarten, Angst.
It's a little bit wrote in different way, I think, but it's still German words, and we can easily learn
them and memorize them, because they are very similar. Then there is funny words, false friends. For example, Gift in Deutsch is not Gift, it's poison, apparently, which is fun.
I didn't know that. And then there is Kalk, it means that it's words that specifically new, for example, or foreign. And in English, skyscraper is, like, scraping the sky, right?
And then Wolkenkratzer is actually the same meaning. So, scraping the sky, basically, in German. So, that's what I learned about these cognates, and there is a bunch of links that Chajupiti showed.
So, did you know about that before? Like, did you know about these proto-Germanic similarities? No.
Okay, anyone else? I mean, I heard about that, but I didn't know that specific way.
[Speaker 2]
Anya, I think I learned about it, but I still need a complete lecture on it, like, one day dedicated only for it, to learn, like, you know, exactly goes where and how, and then a lot of practice with the similar words, exercises for commonly transferable words. I heard about it, but I still don't understand it at all. Like, I don't know if there is a word, how can I change it to German, if that's possible?
[Speaker 1]
Yeah, Kaffee is also cognate, yeah, Kaffee is also cognate. Not from English specifically, but I think, like, German language have borrowed a lot of words from different languages, even from your own, I think, if you can google borrowed words from Hindu, from Arabic, from Farsi, I think you can find something. So, that would be fun.
I think, I don't know whether there is some words from Ruslan, from Russia, because I'm from Russia, but yeah, I think that can be also a good way to easily learn some words, because they're just a little bit similar, and they maybe pronounce differently, but, or written differently, but they're very, like, close to you, and you can understand them pretty quickly. I don't know whether, yeah.
[Speaker 2]
Can I say something?
[Speaker 1]
Yeah, sure.
[Speaker 2]
Maybe when we dig deeper on this topic, if we do, or we can have a list that we can just create
and remember it, because if it's quite similar, as you said, like, it would be easier for us to just know.
[Speaker 1]
Okay, let's think how we can do that, if we can organize maybe a chat. We can do, like, a sub- chat, right, in our agriculture faculty group for Deutsch, so we can discuss specifically Deutsch stuff, right? I'm asking Amina.
[Speaker 2]
Yeah, depending on how many of you are interested. [Speaker 1]
Yeah, I mean, yeah, because right now I'm just writing in the chat, and I don't know whether it's a spammy, but maybe if we can create a separate sub-chat, sub-group, I think that would be nice. If you are good, if you're interested to have a group chat, just message in the chat, or, like, yeah, do something, so we can, yeah, we can basically decide.
[Speaker 2]
Give a thumbs up, or give a reaction, so then I would know how many people are interested, and I can think about it. Oh, there is one thumbs up. Okay, two.
[Speaker 1]
Okay, that's great. Azba, you're actually messaging me. You're messaging only to me, if you, Azba Farooq.
So, you need to change to message everyone, because I can see only myself, your messages. Okay, so next thing is German words are building from several roots and suffixes and prefixes. I use this thing from the same way in English, because English words, they also have some suffixes or prefixes from Latin words, and you can easily distinguish and understand words, even that you don't know, but you know Latin or Greek meaning of this specific prefix or suffix or root, and that way you can understand new words easily.
So, in German, there is also a way to do this. There is a compounding, for example, I don't know, very simple way. It's a shaft, like Apfelsaft.
Apfel, it's, like, one word or root, and then we also have Saft, right, or, which is juice, Apfeljuice, and it's one word. It's not separable words, it's one word, and that way there is a lot of words like that in German. We can just easily understand what are their prefixes that's usually used, what kind of suffixes usually used, and we can understand the meaning behind them.
So, there is, I think this is the one of the suffixes that these sources that I listed used, Letik, and
I think it means small, but I'm not sure. I can be lying to you right now, but this is, like, example, or, for example, Ti or Tion. Tion, I think it's from English, even.
So, this Tion, it's just pronounced differently, but it's basically from English, also, or Proto- Germanic, kind of, similar roots. So, we can just understand the meaning of this suffix, and then it can be easily understood in any other kind of word. So, that's one of the tips that, basically, Chajupriti suggested again.
Oh, okay, Amina created a chat. I will save this chat later, and then we can go. I can send all the tips, basically, later there.
So, yeah, this is another word, another tip that they suggested, and also, of course, high- frequency words and phrases. So, this is, I think, understandable, right? Like, get the collection of most used sentences and phrases, and, yeah, I put some suggestions for you from Anki.
Do you all know what is Anki?
No, no. So yeah, Anki is like one of the apps that helps to repeat anything with spaced repetition. Yeah, Amina, you want to say something?
Yeah, it's a flashcard app. Yeah, flashcards. So yeah, this is their page, ankiweb.net.
And then it's free, I think, only for Apple iPhones app. If you download specifically the app, it will be, it will cost something, but not very a lot. But it's free in general for Androids and for desktop app.
And then it's also working in the web. Yep, Amina. Sorry, I think that was a mistake.
Just a small addition, there is an app as well, right? Yeah, there's app on the phones. For App Store, for Apple iPhone, it's paid though.
But for Android, it's free. And then basically, you can use it with flashcards. This is a lot of links that I like found that use this basically idea of high frequency words and phrases, and they found them.
And they also had some sentences there and phrases. So I thought it's a good idea. Also not to learn isolated words.
I think what, before we talked about Duolingo, right? Omer talked about Duolingo. That's what I think is not ideal for me in Duolingo, because I'm not learning like a phrase.
But I learned specifically the word usually, I don't know, maybe they changed a bit, or they create some kind of later some kind of additions. But basically, what I figured, Duolingo offers you to learn only the word without the context. And I think it's very important to learn the context of the word, how it's used in like, yeah, with the example.
Yeah. And then, yeah, we have tip number four, what you actually need. So they all suggested to learn words specifically that you actually need for work or for everyday situations, or some kind of personal interest.
I think Amina, your example was the news, because you're interested in news. Maybe that's why you're like, actually have a motivation in learning the words and phrases. Yeah, but me personally, news, I think it's too much for me.
But yeah, it's a way, of course, to learn from specific contexts that you actually enjoy. So yeah, anything that you actually tried before, now that we discussed this? Or do you have any questions about this?
I will show it again. Yeah, again, you can just unmute yourself easily or write a question.
[Speaker 4]
So like, what would be like a really good starting resource? Because like, these are a lot of things, and it's like, they're helpful. But like, there could be like, you know, some resource that just, you know, takes you starts with one of these sort of important concepts.
[Speaker 1]
I haven't found one yet. For example, this Proto-Germanic things and cognates is separate thing. I haven't found anything like that in any other resource.
German worldbending with compounding, I think. I also haven't seen it in the textbooks. But textbooks, in general, is just a good way to start any textbook with good situations that will be useful for you, like every day.
I think, for example, our course, if you haven't started learning in courses, for example, one of the university courses that we have used this book. And yeah, I found personally, I found a lot of these situations that they offer in the textbook useful. But the only caveat is that it's everything in Deutsch, everything in Deutsch.
So that's the problem. So usually what I do, I just like translate the page when I'm doing homework. For example, I'm translating the page and I kind of, uh, yeah, trying to work with that.
But it is really, like, heavily in Deutsch. So it was the only caveat that I found about this book. But it is still nice to use kind of books like that.
And I also have it, I have it on my laptop so I can share with you in the chat and with the thing. Also, I know there is a, um, there is a course which kind of talks about cognates a bit, but in a very, like, um, I don't know how do we, not very structured way. I will, I will find you and send you.
It's like, um, it's like audio book in the SoundCloud. It's like audio classes. It's like very, or in YouTube, I think.
And it's very short, like five minutes long, 10 minutes long, the most, like very short audios. And
they kind of explain to you these, uh, changes and shifts in words. For example, Apfel, Apfel, Apfel.
So they explain it a bit, but I haven't found anything else about this specific stuff, for example. Any other questions?
[Speaker 2]
Anya? Yeah. I can take this question for some of the people who are coming from South Asia.
There is this YouTube channel by GC Learn German. I have Sidra, I think. Sidra.
It has all the resources to do. It's not GC, it's D, E, S, I. Okay.
Yeah. It offers all the resources to do A1, A2, B1. And it takes you from the beginner level, from learning the alphabets and more.
If you're looking for some resources that can help you in the local language, you could reach out to people from your own country and ask them to have a YouTube channel, or you could just check it out yourself. There are always resources that can help you. Yeah.
It helped me to complete my A1. When I did my B1, I also reached out to some of the resources. Of course, if you reach out to channels that are in German that are more helpful, but at the same time, to be able to understand that it takes a little bit of effort.
Yes, that's right. This is for people who can understand Urdu, Hindi. Yeah.
But of course, there are other languages, like, you know, wherever you come from, there are people who have something similar that you could use. Yeah. But don't rely on it when you get to your senior levels, like B1, B2, C1.
Then switch to channels. We can have a discussion on different channels that could be helpful. Because it's important, but at the same time, you need to get to the advanced level, and there are not enough resources there.
[Speaker 1]
Okay, nice. So, if we don't have any other questions, we can go to other questions that I had.
What kind of situations you had where you seemed to lack German words and phrases?
If you haven't been here in Deutschland yet, you haven't come, you maybe can imagine yourself, what kind of situations you might have at the first day of your arrival, whatever, that you might meet some native, and they will talk only Deutsch with you, and you will need some kind of words to explain yourself. So, I want you to write it down to yourself, to chat, whatever you want. Like, really write it down right now, if it's possible.
Type it, type it into your laptop, type it in your phone, I think. Yeah, I think that would be quite
useful for us, to create this kind of list of situations. I can start myself.
So, recently, I was buying something in the supermarket, and basically, a lady was staying, like, in the alley, right? And I wanted to, like, cross her, but yeah, but she started moving in a different direction, and basically, yeah, that was a funny situation where, you know, where you both kind of move in one direction, not in another, so that was funny. So, I just wanted to have some kind of word to explain her that, yeah, I'm sorry, I'm going this way, like, right way, I don't know, just to explain that we will not actually do like that, you know.
So, because I was, like, wordless, I cannot explain myself to her. So, yeah, that was one of the situations. I think it's more very specific, not kind of generic, but I don't know.
Do you guys have kind of situations where you couldn't speak, explain yourself in German recently? Also, I always get in shop, like, a ready-made meal, like this, like a bowl, and they offer you, like, spoon and, what is that, fork, and I don't know words for fork and spoon in Deutsch, just I don't know them, and they always give me two, or they give me spoon, but I want fork, so I just, I want to know the words for fork and spoon, basically. Yeah, any other ideas, guys?
Amina, you wrote to me.
[Speaker 2]
Yes, I do not want to disturb you, so when you're done, we do this activity, okay?
[Speaker 1]
Ah, introduce yourself in German for absolute beginners, super easy German, okay, okay. Yeah, we can do that. Okay, no, no, no, any other situations?
[Speaker 2]
Can I add, I think, I usually struggled when I was new, getting a taxi, getting out of the airport, exchanging, yeah, exchanging money wasn't a problem. I had someone who came to pick me up, so I had money, but if I had to, then that would be a problem. Yeah, ordering taxi.
Supermarket is the most common place where people can get loud, when you don't understand, and it feels like noise to you, and people are speaking to you, so you're like, that's how you survive.
[Speaker 1]
Yeah, okay, so I think that's just a good way to start creating your own, like, vocabulary also, is to start from specific situations that you will encounter, or you want to feel myself, yourself more confident in, so yeah, and do you want to do this activity right now, introduce yourself in German? We can do it right now, we have time.
[Speaker 2]
Yeah, okay, if everyone is ready, what we could do is, there is a video we can watch together, and then take, like, five minutes or ten minutes, and introduce ourselves in German. You could also introduce in English, if you don't feel comfortable speaking in German, but it's just an exercise.
[Speaker 1]
Okay, wait, I need to share, stop sharing for a while, and then I will reshare, because I need to share sound, right?
[Speaker 2]
Yes, and we could also give them time, if the system doesn't work, to do it, watch it individually, but let's give it a try first.
[Speaker 8]
Ich heiße Angela.
[Speaker 2]
Yeah, wait, I think it might be a good idea to give people time to watch it on their own pace, it's not, like, running smoothly here. Okay, this is the link.
[Speaker 5]
Yeah, so is the task there for everyone, or anyone has questions?
[Speaker 1]
Yeah, you need to watch the video and then we basically introduce ourselves based on this video, right?
[Speaker 5]
Okay, thanks.
[Speaker 1]
I'm sorry, something slipped. Do you like this easy German channel? Okay, I'm sorry.
So, can we start? So, basically, there's a lot of words, right, in, I mean, questions, where you come from, how, what is your name, and etc, etc.
[Speaker 2]
Is everyone done with preparing their introduction? [Speaker 1]
Yeah, Amina said, she said, let's start.
[Speaker 2]
So, I think, yeah, we can, first can start. How about we get a thumbs up from everyone, like, at least four or five people that they are ready, and if there is someone who needs help, like, who has not done it before at all, and they need a little bit of more support.
[Speaker 1]
So, basically, you need to introduce what is your name, where you come from, where you live, what is your profession, you can say, maybe, what you're studying, what is your master or degree, yeah, what is your, what you're learning, yeah, and you can say also your hobbies, that's it.
[Speaker 2]
Name, country, profession, hobbies, studies.
[Speaker 1]
No, maybe we can say age, but I don't know whether you still have age. I can start. You wrote again only to me, Amina.
Yeah, maybe you can send it to everyone. I cannot, I'm sorry. Name, country, studies, hobbies.
Okay, so, my name is Anya, I come from Russia, I study, Jesus Christ, I study agriculture, food economics, I don't know how to say it in German, sorry, and my hobbies, my hobbies are reading and hiking, hiking, yeah.
[Speaker 6]
What was the first hobby? I couldn't hear. Lesson, lesson.
Lesson, okay, thank you. Lessons or lesson, yeah, lesson. Of course, of course. [Speaker 1]
Okay, Abdullah, I see you. Oh, Amina, do you want to start?
[Speaker 4]
So, is it Amina or is it Amina?
[Speaker 1]
Go, go, Abdullah.
[Speaker 4]
Okay, so, I'm not good at this, so if I mispronounce something, that's it. These are the three things I know.
[Speaker 2]
What are your hobbies?
[Speaker 4]
Let me see how to say that.
[Speaker 2]
You can say it in English and maybe we can help you find the German words.
[Speaker 4]
So, my hobbies are watching and playing football, sometimes I play instruments, yeah, that's it. [Speaker 2]
So, basically, yeah, or the fun saying.
[Speaker 4]
What was the second word?
[Speaker 2]
Okay, is to play. You can also use it for music or instruments or like, you know, sports, badminton, volleyball. So, for every hobby, I can be like, music, sports, yeah, mostly, almost, not everyone, like, you know, there are always exceptions, but mostly it goes.
[Speaker 1]
Okay, we have Asba here. Etwas, what does it mean? Etwas means something, a little bit, a little bit, okay.
[Speaker 2]
You can say also ein bisschen, yeah, like there are synonyms. Asba, is it not possible for you to unmute yourself? Hi, nice to meet you.
[Speaker 7]
Thank you. Can you hear me?
[Speaker 2]
Yes, we can hear you. Do you want to say it? Like, try.
What are the words for painting, knitting and baking of Deutsch? I don't know. Let's Google it together.
Maybe for painting. I think it's malen. Bachen for baking and knitting, I don't remember. Yeah, maybe you could search it and then put it in the chat.
[Speaker 1]
Yeah, sure. Amina, the other Amina, not Amina. Do you want to be next?
[Speaker 3]
Yes, so, ich heisse Amina, ich komme aus Pakistan. Ich studiere in der Universität Bonn. Yeah, I don't know.
Say it in English. Yeah, I am studying a master's in international relations over here. My hobbies, yeah, I think I'm at a loss here.
[Speaker 2]
Okay, don't worry. We also don't know you, so it's nice to just get to know you.
[Speaker 3]
Well, I'll try to say it in Deutsch though. My hobbies are reading, history, particularly. What's the word for history?
Sorry?
[Speaker 2]
Can you write it? Yes, I can try to write it, but it's a difficult word. [Speaker 1]
Geschichte.
[Speaker 3]
Geschichte. Okay, Geschichte. Right.
Geschichte, yeah. And for reading? It's a lesson.
Lesson. Lesson, yes. Yeah, we're same on that.
Okay, so yeah, my hobbies are cycling and I want to start hiking. I haven't started yet, so yeah. [Speaker 1]
You have a buddy for hiking? Okay.
[Speaker 2]
We also have a buddy for cycling. I'm a cyclist.
[Speaker 1]
Okay, cool. Okay, I don't think that we have any more time. I'm sorry, we have 38 minutes left and I want to show you one more thing about dictionaries and then maybe we could continue if we still have time, okay, with other people here.
Okay? [Speaker 5] Yeah. [Speaker 1]
Okay, so let me share my screen again. Something's wrong. Okay, so situations is for you to maybe write sometime, someday, what kind of situations you might want to learn Deutsch words for.
Do you have a dictionary?
I know Joanna has a dictionary, Jojo. Can you write something about your dictionary?
What is your, how it looks like?
[Speaker 6]
Amina, do you have a dictionary? Yeah. I have a flatmate who has a dictionary. He uses it.
[Speaker 2]
Wow. He's a teacher. He's a French teacher, so he's obsessed with the dictionary. I have never used it. I have bought it. I have them, but never opened it.
Never once. [Speaker 1]
No, but you can also, you don't need to have like a book, right? A vocabulary book. You can just have a dictionary book.
You can just have a vocabulary, like a dictionary in your, I don't know, some notebook. I know Jojo has, I think. I don't know.
But I saw you writing something somewhere in your notebook on the classes, so maybe she has. Okay, if you can, you can write and type. Do you have dictionary?
No. I am starting to have dictionary. I didn't have it.
I just, basically what I did, I had this textbook and I just wrote like with my, with my, with my
[Speaker 1] (0:00 - 0:08)
Oh, it looks like... Amina, do you have a dictionary? Yeah.
I have a flatmate who has a dictionary.
[Speaker 2] (0:08 - 0:24)
He uses it. Wow. He's a teacher.
He's a French teacher, so he's obsessed with the dictionary. I have never used it. I have bought it, I have them, but never opened it.
Never once.
[Speaker 1] (0:28 - 7:29)
No, but you don't need to have a book, a vocabulary book. You can just have a dictionary book. You can just have a vocabulary, like a dictionary in your, I don't know, some notebook.
I know Jojo has, I think. I don't know, but I saw you writing something somewhere in your notebook on the classes, so maybe she has. Okay, if you can, you can write and type.
Do you have dictionary? No. I am starting to have a dictionary.
I didn't have it. I just, basically what I did, I had this textbook, and I just wrote down, like, with my pen, like, above the word, the translation, and that's it. Maybe some explanation about this word, but I didn't have specifically the dictionary, so I want to have it right now, so I created, again, some kind of tips for you.
Yeah, glossable. So, I have ChargeBT kind of, like, tips for you about the dictionary. It can be a lot, but let's dive in.
So, as I said before, it's really important to learn words in the context and with the example sentences. Sometimes dictionaries don't have example sentences, and that is, I think, very bad dictionary. So, if you have opportunity to find dictionary, it is really cool to have something with the examples, and I personally found one dictionary that gives several sentences, I think at least one, for the words.
This is lingui.com, and they have German-English dictionary. It's, like, online. I found it very beautiful, so you can check it out later in the presentation.
So, another one is sometimes also advised to have translation, but also to not, like, translation.
It's one thing, like, for example, to English or to your own, like, language, like Urdu or Farsi or anything, right? And then there is also a place where sometimes they are advised to give explanation in Deutsch with simple words.
For example, you can explain, what is Apfel schorle? It's schorle out of Apfel, for example. I don't know.
Then they advise to have one meaning per entry, so you have one entry for the word, and then if there is different meanings, you can give another entry, which is simple, and this is the most, I think, complex thing, but for someone, at least, who didn't finish A1 and A2, maybe, I don't know, but this is, like, what I think is very cool. There is a lot of conjugations, right, in Deutsch, or declinations, like, there is change in endings because of the gender or change in ending because of the case, like, nominative, dative, accusative. If you don't know these words yet, don't be scared.
It's basically to emphasize whether the object is active or passive. I don't know. In English, it's active or passive noun, I think.
So, this is some kind of grammar stuff, but yeah. Also, verbs can be irregular, like, in English, right, and they can be conjugated in a different way with, in terms of tenses, or, like, in an infinitive way, in past, in present, there can be different endings with these verbs. So, what I think is really cool is to try to, in your dictionary, to actually write a word, for example, a verb, and then write also, like, what is mixed irregular regular, and then also write conjugations with different times as well, like, tenses.
I think it would be cool. Yeah, Mert, you wanted to say something? Yeah, you feel free to interrupt me like any, at any point, you can just unmute yourself and speak up.
You can... Dee does confuse me so much. Yeah, these articles, yeah.
So, that's why they basically advise to learn nouns with these articles. So, in dictionary, they propose to write a noun and also add article, whether this word specifically, like, feminine, right, or, and then you need to add D. D, I don't know what is the D example can be, but whatever.
So, you can understand me, right? Add article. So, and these things are different for part of the speech.
For verbs, it's different. For separable verbs, it's different. Someone from A1 who didn't finish one, don't be scared, it's kind of easy.
I mean, not very easy, but still. For nouns, it's different. For adjectives, it's different.
For pronouns, prepositions, it's a lot of these different things, the way they conjugate, declinate, whatever. So, you can just write it down in dictionary while you're learning the word,
so you will be able to actually recognize at least the word in a different conjugation. Because sometimes what happened, I study the verb, for example, and then this verb suddenly changed the tense.
For example, machen, which make, right? Machen is infinitive. And then, for example, when it's in a präteritum, in the past, it can be macht, I think, right?
And also it changes if it's first singular person, if it's second person, if it's a third person, and etc., etc. So, I found to have everything in one place for me to understand, I think that's cool. And yeah, that's the idea.
Do you have any questions about that? Or, I don't know, do you want to use it? You don't want to use this?
So, for Amina, do you know about this? You suppose, I think you should know about this, like all these conjugation stances. Honestly, I'm as lost as everyone else.
[Speaker 2] (7:30 - 7:41)
Oh, really? Yes, I do know, I heard about it, but I didn't get much of the time to actually sit and remember. And I think this is a very advanced level concept for me.
[Speaker 1] (7:42 - 7:53)
Oh, okay. But you basically learn how to speak first, right? You didn't specifically learn grammar as much, right?
No, I did.
[Speaker 2] (7:53 - 7:57)
I have to learn grammar, but my focus is to be able to speak.
[Speaker 1] (7:59 - 8:03)
Yeah, sure. But yeah, I mean, you do need to learn grammar.
[Speaker 2] (8:04 - 8:21)
If you don't learn grammar, then you learn to speak, but you don't learn to speak it right. And what you're sharing is very helpful. I'm definitely going to look into it.
It requires a little bit of time commitment to sit and study. [Speaker 1] (8:22 - 8:30)
Yeah, I think later when we can discuss grammar, we can discuss these things, like maybe in some way.
[Speaker 5] (8:32 - 8:33) Yes, we will have to. [Speaker 2] (8:33 - 9:05)
I think we can help each other learn these concepts by heart, because you know them, but when it comes to application, it's difficult to apply them. Yeah, I still want to know where is everyone? Are there people who have completed their AIs?
Are there people who have no idea what is German? Or are there people who have completed their BIs or ASY? So I would just want to have an idea of what kind of people we have here.
Or is it too advanced concept for them? Or is it too basic?
[Speaker 1] (9:06 - 9:44)
Yeah, okay. Yeah. If you can type in the chat or tell us, if you can unmute yourself and tell us.
I think the people who registered at least, they all finished AIs or learning AIs at the moment, like the people who registered. But I don't know people who actually came. I don't know what is your level.
Okay, A1, A2, AIs. [Speaker 2] (9:45 - 10:22)
Is this something that you have heard about? Like verbs, make it regular, irregular. Because sometimes when you are new, you are more focused into grammar in A1, A2, AIs.
So you learn these concepts. Shall we get into these concepts later? Or is it too advanced for you?
How are you going and feeling about this? You could please unmute yourself. Like it's a paired learning session and we are not a teacher.
So you're just supporting each other. It would be nice to hear. [Speaker 1] (10:30 - 13:54)
Yeah, I mean, that's okay if you don't want to speak up about it. Because yeah, it is advanced. It is for maybe a higher level.
It's just happened that we started to learn that in my course, at least. And I thought and I figured that in a dictionary, if I want to have a dictionary, it would be really nice to have those kind of distinct, like things to actually remember. So basically, for you to understand simply, in simple terms, one root word can be written in a very different way, depending on the tense,
depending on the other gender of the object and other stuff.
So basically, this one word can be written in a very different way. Not very different, but like quite different. So what I and other like Chajabis suggest is to learn this.
Yeah, in terms of like your understanding, maybe. Yeah, that's what's the idea. If you are still very new, I think that is really hard for you, maybe.
But that's okay. This can be something that you will look out for later in your course. And you can like be more mindful about that when you're learning.
Yeah, tips to choose pronunciation, audios. And yeah, what I think it's cool is to write some short annotations. Sometimes teacher in our course said this word is very formal, this word is not formal.
So I think that's interesting, like just to understand where, which word to use, when, in what kind of context. So yeah, that's it for the dictionary. We actually already discussed this a bit.
But I want to, I would suggest to also discuss that more. What content you watched, read, and how and where did you find it, basically? Do you have any examples for us?
Apart from what Amina already said. I think you all know Deutsche Welle, right? And I think in Deutsche Welle there is several courses.
I know this one, Nikos Svek, I think that's the name of the guy. And they have YouTube videos with him. And then also they have like a site with lessons.
So they all have also airlines, that's why. So it's all like labeled with the level. And I like this specific course because it's like a story.
So a guy, oh sorry, it's a story. So a guy travels to Germany first time. And basically it's also very relatable.
Everything that he goes through is so relatable. So I liked it. And I enjoyed it a lot to watch that.
Yeah. So that's my resource that I found. Anyone else?
[Speaker 2] (13:56 - 14:15)
When I was going, it was so helpful and so relatable and so cute. It's actually a really nice movie. One can just watch it.
Can you repeat? Oh, I was just saying it's a very good story. One can just rewatch it again and again.
A lot.
[Speaker 1] (14:18 - 14:24)
Charjupati, cool. How you use the Charjupati? Can you explain more, please, Asba?
[Speaker 2] (14:29 - 14:36)
Please unmute yourself and it would be nice. All right, in the chat box.
[Speaker 4] (14:36 - 14:45)
I just, yeah, I just prompted Charjupati to be my teacher. And you know, I like the topic. [Speaker 1] (14:46 - 17:33)
Sorry, your sound is bad. Can you speak like more close to your microphone? So yeah, sorry. Are you here still? I heard this on Charjupati to be teacher. That's what I heard.
Yeah, if you can elaborate later, that's okay. Anyone else? Anyone else?
Children books. So I found a lot of children books and I don't understand them still, but it is at least what I found that I can understand at least 50% of it. Because otherwise I will be very, very frustrated if I don't understand a lot.
So I will be like, I don't want to read this. I don't want to like watch this. Ah, okay, you can have conversations with Charjupati, cool.
Okay, but Asba, do you have some kind of strategy? I mean, structure, how you learn Deutsch? Like, do you like have some kind of plan?
Are I in topics and you go for this or you don't have it? Yes, you have in days. Exactly.
Oh, okay, cool. Did Charjupati create your plan also or you created yourself? Charjupati, prompt to be a teacher creates probably a plan.
I don't know, but that's a good idea. Ah, wow, okay. It creates a plan even.
Study and there is an advanced note of voice. Okay, cool. So let's go and see basically another question.
Do you save words or phrases out of the dictionaries that you can see, like out of the content that you consume? For example, I think, who told this? Abdullah, you said you watch football commentary, but do you actually kind of write down some kind of phrases out of this?
[Speaker 3] (17:41 - 18:24)
So, like, I sort of through football, I know some really basic phrases in like German and some in Spanish as well. So, like, I don't really take notes. I, right now, so far, I have just sort of, you
know, been vibe learning German, but I should follow a structured plan.
So this, I think this meeting sort of prompted me. The next thing I'm going to do is make a structured plan, start taking notes, because that's the better way to retain stuff. Very cool.
[Speaker 1] (18:28 - 19:06)
And, yeah, as Abdullah said, I think that she's taking notes. Are you have some kind of, yeah, some way how you specifically write down words, phrases or, yeah, what is your what is your way for doing this? Okay.
Any other people who are saving words some specific way? [Speaker 2] (19:07 - 19:08)
Can I say something?
[Speaker 1] (19:08 - 19:08)
Yeah.
[Speaker 2] (19:11 - 20:38)
Thank you, everyone, for sharing your tips. They're very useful and helpful. Just a little bit of warning in terms of ChatsGBT.
It's amazing. Use it for your benefit, but at the same time, don't only rely on ChatsGBT. I've noticed sometimes ChatsGBT does not provide the right information in terms of like grammar or structure or vocabulary, a lot of things.
It's just doesn't know enough. But you can have since all of you are like very smart people, you can use a smart ChatsGBT that is a trained German teacher. So either you can use ChatsGBT as if you go to the right side of your ChatsGBT, you could add that ChatsGBT and then go for it.
And in that way, it would be the ChatsGBT that is specialized for. You can go and search for ChatsGBT. Do you have a name for that guy for the bot?
Yeah, you just say German tutor or German tutor. My boss, she created a ChatsGBT expert for me. It was it's very easy to create a ChatsGBT bot.
Give them all the books, feed them the right books, and then ask them questions and ask them to teach you. Okay, gotcha. Yeah, I mean, you could use ChatsGBT, but then be smarter than ChatsGBT.
Okay, like this, right? Okay. [Speaker 1] (20:41 - 21:12)
Okay, good to know. Thank you. Someone else wrote something. Wait. Yeah, one info. You got rejected from ChatsGBT cover letter.
Yeah, that happens. Maybe they use some kind of ChatsGBT also detector, because sometimes they use it to understand whether you wrote it yourself or with...
[Speaker 2] (21:16 - 21:56)
But then more than that, what is important is you write your story. If it's a random story, if you write your story and ask ChatsGBT to write it nicely, it would be still your story. It wouldn't be a chat bot made story or like, you have a history, you add your personal experiences.
If you add your CV. Okay, sorry, this is not the cover letter workshop, but I'm sharing this. We will have a cover letter workshop on 22nd.
It's in person, but we will have something next month about job search and stuff online. So we'll talk about it in detail.
[Speaker 3] (21:58 - 22:19)
I wrote my own story. But like, I was, I was, I just tried to, you know, make it easier for the recruiter. So I asked ChatsGBT to translate it in German and I added it to my cover letter.
But this is me saying that ChatsGBT might not be very reliable. [Speaker 2] (22:21 - 22:47)
You could still ask ChatsGBT. Using ChatsGBT is very smart. If you're not going to use ChatsGBT, you're going to be left behind in the next coming years.
So not using is not smart, but just know how to ask ChatsGBT to keep your tone, your words, your structure of style. Because if there is ChatsGBT's way of writing, it's like one person's way of writing and that's not your way of writing.
[Speaker 1] (22:48 - 24:04)
So yeah, I just wanted to share how you can save words to your dictionaries. For example, Anki or I thought to have like Spreadsheet, right? So there is a lot of extensions in the browser that you can use.
And basically I used one of these extensions, I think. So if I like highlight some words, it can give me translation, right? And then there is also extension to save it later to Anki or to my Anki account or to just in the app.
Then I can export it easily and then upload it to Anki, for example, or to Spreadsheet or whatever. So that's way you can kind of automate. And also, Amina, I think you also said that
there is, no, you said that there is extension to make double subtitles, but is there extension to save from subtitles?
I think there is. I think there should be some extension to save when you're watching something and you have subtitles and you can also in Netflix, for example, double click on it and save this word for dictionary, no?
[Speaker 2] (24:06 - 24:12)
That would be definitely possible. And if it's not possible, then there are people who can create to make it possible.
[Speaker 1] (24:14 - 27:38)
I think if you Google that we can maybe Netflix extension to save words dictionary. I think there is some kind of extensions like that. We can definitely Google.
I will send you, Abdullah, I will send to the chat all the links. I don't remember specifically the name. Okay, Language Reactor and Lingopi are popular options that allow to save words and phrases from subtitles for later review.
So yeah, here you go. I don't know whether it's free, but if it's good, why not to pay a bit? I think it's investment for the future.
Yeah, YouTube, Netflix catalog, yeah. Cool. So yeah, this kind of extensions you can definitely use to automate this process without this, you know, manual retyping all the words and phrases if you want to use.
So yeah, that's basically what I had for you so far. I will save this. Okay, I'm not sure whether it's free, but you can definitely check it out at least.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Cool. Yeah, but do you know maybe any other tips how to save words without manually typing them in?
Or you can even type maybe. It's a way also how you automate this process. For example, I think, Adil, you said that you use Excel files to save German vocabulary.
How you specifically use that? Can you share? You can unmute yourself, you can write if you cannot speak.
Yeah, but how you got the German words? Did you manually paste it, German words and phrases to the Excel and then? Oh, manually, okay.
Okay. Yeah, it's also a way. Definitely.
