Forming sentences

To form sentences in any choice language, you need to learn the following:
1. Nouns
2. Verbs
3. Conjunction
4. Preposition
5. Pronouns
6. Adverbs

Now let’s get to work.

How would you say this in German:
I CAN MAKE SANDWICHES AND FRIES

First, you need to know the subject pronoun (I), the verbs CAN and MAKE, Plural Noun SANDWICHES, conjunction (AND)

When you string them together, you get
Ich kann Sandwiches und Pommes machen.

Noteworthy:
Nouns must be capitalized. If there are two verbs in a sentence, the second verbs must be at the end of the sentence.

In the above sentence, we have two verbs KANN (Können) and Machen.

Another Example
I work as a waitress at KFC
Ich arbeite als Kellnerin bei KFC

So now, you know the importance of grammar in German.

Auf Wiedersehen!

Formal/Informal Deutsch

In Deutschland, there is a certain way you address a stranger or a boss. This applies in some other languages like Yoruba, French, Chinese, Spanish etc

You wouldn’t address your boss the way you address your brother or someone who is obviously older/younger.

Example
Anna has an interview in the embassy. There she meets a stranger in the lobby.

Anna: Hallo! Guten Morgen! / Hello Good morning

Stranger: Morgen! / Morning

Anna: Ich bin Anna, wie heißen Sie? / I am Anna what’s your name

Stranger: Ich heißt Jakob / I am (I am called) Jacob

In this conversation SIE is the magic word that shows unfamiliarity or respect.

Note: Sie is also a pronoun for SHE and also for things that are female

Yeah. German is a gender-based language.

Tschüss!

Take note of the following pronunciation rules

1. V becomes F in pronunciation
Von sounds like Fon (it Sounds like fun doesn’t it?)

2. W becomes V
Wein sounds like vine (remember there’s a link between wine and vine, just a pro tip)

3. S becomes Z whenever it is followed by O
Sohn(son) Sounds Zohn, Sonntag (Sunday) becomes Zonntag

4. S becomes SH when it is followed by P, T, CH
e.g Sport (exercise) sounds as SHPORT
student becomes SHTUNDENT

5. J becomes Y just like in Español
Julia becomes Yulia

6. ß whenever you see this it means double SS
e.g groß tall/long
große size

7. When g is the last letter in a word it is pronounced as k
e.g genug - genuk

8. When a word ends with “ig” it is pronounced as sh
e.g richtig? (Right?) becomes richtish
Schmutzig (dirty) becomes schmutsish
More to come

Gute Nachts alles

I know you must have heard a lot of stuff about the Deutsch language. Mostly about how difficult it is to learn to speak, write, listen and read in German.

Well, nothing is too difficult to learn.

where you in the generation, where they taught french in Nigerian schools or not

I noticed Portuguese is similar to french
After watching this Brazilian movie, trash

I wanna learn Spanish
But wanna focus on french. .since it's Nigeria second most important foreign language

No. Portuguese is more similar to Spanish than French.

Think of Portuguese as Ondo dialect of Yorùbá while Spanish can be likened to central Yorùbá.

There are two things involved.

You are at a critical phase in your life where you either move to the next level or retrogress abnormally.

Secondly, a part of you still need to go back to school, not your former school but a furthering of your education.

The latter was my case. Paused my NOUN programme since 2019 due to their incessant wàhálà, now I'm going back. The dreams taunted me but I perfectly understand now.

No dey fear
