Not working out doesn't make you a grown woman??

Rubbish write up ..

If you are coming to Frankfurt, please try to learn the lanaguage. That's all I have to say ..

DateMynd44:

Go suck a dick and get off my mention you jobless fool , idiot!!..

"If these can be proven".

Lmao who are you that atheists need to prove anything to?.

Nigeria is hell na

...

Y'all rejoicing here as if you live large like him.

The delusion..

shakmati:
Wait make dem ban me first. For a start, learn that a word spoken in wisdom could go a long way in making things right. Throwing insults around without provocation like an insane person speaks very low of you!

Like you didn't insult your wife on this same thread!. Hypocrite!!

Hadampson:
Thank you very much sis for this wonderful tips you highlighted.


@emboldened, is it hello talk or speaky ?

Hello talk

I'm really sorry for your wife!!. Why not buy the salt and vegetable oil. Instead of doing that, you ran to Nairaland to whine about common salt and vegetable oil.

By the way you didn't include how much you give her monthly.

Biko go ahead and divorce her, I'm sure she will be better off without you... Metchwwwwwww

Stupid caption ..

If she doesn't look the way she does, you wouldn't add the word 'plus size' to the caption..

Hadampson:
Okay ich verstehe. Was sind die Tipps?

Totally forgot your mention!..

Honestly it's not that hard, just practice the vocabulary everyday. Don't try to learn everything at once, if you are still in A1, learn everything in A1. Don't jump into A2 until you are done with A1.

Download the Duolingo app.


YouTube is great to learn how to pronounce words especially if you are a beginner.

Practice what you learn!. It was easy for me cause I was already living in Germany and thus got to interact with people in German.

If you are in Nigeria however, my advice would be to download this app on Google play (forgotten the name). There you will meet other language learners and you get to interact with them in the language you are learning, if you make any mistake, the person you are interacting with will correct you.

Watch German series.

And lastly visit dw.com/deutschlernen. It has many resources for learning German.

I think the only thing that helped me the most was visiting an intensive German course, my teachers helped me a lot and are still helping me...

Who else watches Riverdale?. Loved the season 1 and 2 but this season 3 is boring.

Princedapace:
It is not stated but it was stated a woman should submit to her husband like she would submit unto the lord.

That is a strong commandment. It is a pity we joke a lot as Christians. If we don't, no woman should joke with that commandment. Do u know the meaning of that commandment? Submit to ur hubsnad like u submit to your lord.

It means if the man says he wants u to change ur father's name to his, u just have to do so becus u are commanded by your bible to submit to him. U were not asked to choose things to submit to but to submit every every to ur husband..

Can u question your lord Jesus? Since the bible says u should submit to ur husband like u submit to ur lord Jesus, it means u shouldn't question him. Lol. Bible is strict on women and that is becus Eve was the source of downfall of human race.

Remember part of the punishment given to Eve was that her husband will rule over her.

Also, bearing ur father's name doesn't make sense becus that name came from ur father who has his own family. U and ur husband shall become one, meaning u guys are starting a new family.

I didn't read all that!. Go look for who else to preach to not me!!�

pocohantas:
Happy Sunday,

Product of trade by barter.

After all, if two families didn't sit and exchange one innocent girl for palmwine and kola-nut...you wouldn't be born.

Burn ..

Hadampson:
Kannst du mir mit Deutsch helfen? Ich möchte meine Deutschkenntnisse verbessern.

Im Moment kann ich nur sagen, ich bin noch in A1 oder A2. Ich möchte ein Upgrade durchführen

No unfortunately I can't. I don't have the time but I can give you tips that might help you..

Hadampson:
Das ist Super!

When did you start learning German?

Lool... 2016..

Jetland:
[s]Must you be told every word for word in the Bible before you know what's right? Where in the Bible did God say we should has sex with our wives/husbands?
You can't eve find the word SEX in the Bible. But with the term that was used, we were able to know that it's God's will for us to have sex with our wives or husbands.

So don't Wait to see exert word to grasp some biblical teachings.

[/s]

Dumb!..

CAPSLOCKED:
NOWHERE DID THE BIBLE MENTION THAT TRANS/GAY PEOPLE SHOULD BE STONED OR JAILED. IT EVEN PROPOSED DEATH BY STONING FOR ADULTERERS, FORNICATORS AND GIRLS LIKE US THAT ARE NO LONGER VIRGINS, WHILE A RAPIST GETS TO GO FREE IF HE CAN PAY THE VICTIMS FATHER.

BUT YOU KNOW, USING THEIR FÙCKED UP AND TWISTED HOLY BOOK, CHRISTIANS WILL MAKE UP ANYTHING TO JUSTIFY ANYTHING.

They don't even understand their own holy book, smh. Twisting it all the time to suit themselves.

beatmonster:
To steal your brain just dey hungry me

...

You will get there..

abbeyfel:
This is the most stupid and baseless topic I've read on nairaland! What rubbish. Just mention where d bible said this specifically...

As in!. I too was looking for where it specifically stated such..

They don't need your forgiveness. Their son knew exactly what he was looking for by going there!. They didn't ask to be introduced to your religion ..

You people will use the bible to justify anything.

In the passages you quoted. Nowhere was it stated that wives shouldn't bear their own surname when they get married.

Crap!..

Hadampson:
I just put those words there because they sounded like O - umlaut somehow. If you pronounce girl like the white. You should be able to get a sound close to O - umlaut.


I don't think there is an English equivalent for O-umlaut but it sounds more like German öl (oil)


@janette, is there any English equivalent for O-umlaut

I don't know, I can't think of any rn

Hadampson:
Thanks sis

If i may ask, please what is your German level?

C2

Hadampson:
Lektion 2

Word order
Word order is much more flexible in German than in English, but there are some very important rules. The most important apply to the position of the finite verb.

Here are some basic principles, which illustrate the difference to English word order.

•The finite verb is the second idea in most statements:

Er hat drei brüder - He has three brothers.

Morgen fahre ich nach Manchester or you can also write it like this; ich fahre morgen nach Manchester which means tomorrow, am going to Manchester.

• The finite verb goes at the beginning of a sentence in orders and many questions:

Lernst beatmonster für die Prüfung? - Is beatmonster studying for the exam?

Öffnet das Fenster - Open the window please

Hast du morgen Zeit? - Are you free tomorrow


•The finite verb goes at the end in subordinate clauses:

Ich kann morgen nicht kommen, weil ich nach Manchester fahre - I can't come tomorrow because am going to Manchester.

•If there are two verb forms, one of them goes at the end:

Morgen muss ich nach Manchester fahren. - Tomorrow i have to go to Manchester




######
Tenses

English tenses differentiate between an action happening at the moment (‘I am working’) and an action taking place regularly (‘I work at Harrods’).

In German, this difference does not exist. The finite verb form is the same in both statements:

Ich arbeite - I am working
Ich arbeite bei Harrods - I work at Harrods

The first sentence signify the action happening in the moment while the second sentence is about action that take place regularly. I hope you get what am saying??


Ich wünsche ein schönes Wochenende

It's lernt .

Hadampson:
Thanks for the correction sis. Do come here more often cos it seems like you are good in German

Will be hanging around ..

The German R

The German R is one of the most challenging consonants for native speakers of English to master.

Unlike English, German uses either the uvular r (the uvula is the small flap of skin hanging from the soft palate at the back of the mouth) or the tongue-trilled r.

As far as the German, I assume the uvular ʀ is commonly used. In order to be able to pronounce it well, you need to gargle( do like hausa that want to spit )

##
Take a sip of water in your mouth, put your head back and gargle. Basically, that is what you have to do if you want to pronounce the gargled r (uvular r)

Now try and make the same sound without the water

It will take a while until you can get the balance between tenseness and laxness of the sound.


There are some laws guiding the German R

1) If the first syllable is R, you have to use the gargled R... It is pronounced like krrrr in a gargle manner

Examples..... das Rathaus, die Ratte, Russland
Rechts, Rot, Rennen, aufräumen


2) After voiced consonant, you also have to pronounce it like gargled R

groß, die Größe, grün, Bremen, der Druck


3) When R follows an unvoiced consonants, then you have to pronounce it like KRA in a gargle manner.

der Preis, Prima, Krank, der Schrank, die Treppe

4) Before vowels, the R is pronounced RI in gargle manner

Fahren, Studieren, gehören


5) At the end of the syllable, the R will be silent. It will sound more like ah

Lernen, die Schwiegereltern, gefährlich


6) At the end of the word, the R sounds like ah

Für, das Wetter, der, der Politiker, der Fußballspieler, das Bier


7) Before consonant, the R is also pronounced ah

der Berg, dort, die Eltern, kurz, morgen



####
To master the German R, you need alot of practice.

For pronunciation, search learn German with Jenny on youtube. Look for the GERMAN R by Jenny. The video is well explained.


#Shalom

6. It's not the 'r' but rather the 'er' sounds like ah. Nice thread though.

KamsyIvy:
How many times did you write the Aufnahmeprüfung? How difficult was it?

2.
Very difficult if you did your language course in Nigeria. Not so difficult if you did your language course in Germany.

The maths isn't that difficult.

Armstrong34:
..I really want to apply for Studien Kolleg so someone said I must learn German Language to a high extent... so how do I go àbout this since you said I should learn the language in Germany....please can you explain how it gonna lead me to studien Kolleg ...,or if you don't mind, can you share your number

It's better to do year 1 in Nigeria and then apply. Studienkolleg is hard. There are so many applicants and they take only the best, people who did well in the entrance exam. You wouldn't want to come and waste your time writing entrance exams.

Ps: I'm currently in Studienkolleg..

Blac chyna isn't the problem tbh. The bigger problem here is that there are people who are willing to buy these creams. And now everyone wants to bash her. The same people who make colorist jokes even here on Nairaland??.

Or even the fact that Nigerian artists prefer light skinned women in their videos but yea Blac Chyna is the problem!! .

Really smart people indeed .

Oh I forgot Nigeria is still the poverty capital of the world ..
