Ich bin ein Reddit-Flüchtling. Gibt es ein weibliches? Ich bin eine Frau. Ich bin seit mehr als drei Woche heir sein. Ich finde das Fediversum mehr freundlich. Für mich sind die Leute das Beste. (Was ist hier besser? Menschen oder Leute?)
Ich bin ein Reddit-Flüchtling. Gibt es ein weibliches hier auch Frauen? Ich bin eine Frau. Ich bin seit mehr als drei Woche Wochen heir hier sein. Ich finde das Fediversum mehr freundlich freundlicher. Für mich sind die Leute das Beste. (Was ist hier besser? Menschen oder Leute?)
Danke.
“Leute” passt hier besser. “Menschen” würde man z.B. verwenden, wenn man von Menschen und Tieren spricht.
I’d simply ask:
“Gibt es hier weitere geflüchtete Frauen?”
The use of “weitere” implies that you yourself are a woman.
“Flüchtling” an sich enthält keine Information über das Geschlecht der Person.
Wenn das Geschlecht klar sein soll, kannst du z.B. “eine Geflüchtete” bzw. “ein Geflüchteter” sagen.
Try to befriend a german online, maybe somebody who wants to learn your language in return so you could take turns talking in either language. Not sure if that makes sense.
German is a complex language to learn by yourself. I highly recommend courses or classes with multiple people in them. I used to teach in these language schools. They usually work quite nicely. A private teacher is also a good idea. I don’t have much good to say about tandems or study groups but your milage may vary.
In German there is a difference between the subject of a sentence and the object of a sentence. For the subject you use “der/die/das” (Nominativ) and for the object it’s “den/die/das” (Akkusativ). Of course there isn’t a special form of “die” or “das” just to mess with your head a little, since it’s German.
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. :)
Thank you so much for starting this community! I don't think you need to be a German ace to moderate it, and being a learner amongst learners is a good thing - you know what we are going through!
I too am a refugee from another place ;-) and I'm trying to find communities to replace the one I've mostly lost. This is one of the most important ones to me.
I used Duolingo, then took face to face small group lessons before the pandemic. We were working on A2 material when covid struck, and the new online teacher was … well it wasn’t working for me.
Since then it’s been a rather undisciplined mixture. I do have the book Grammatik Aktiv A1 - B1 and it is helpful, when I open it and use it! I’ve watched various Youtube and Netflix programs with the help of Language Reactor which lets you see both German and English subtitles at the same time.
I’ve used Clozemaster, and tried the Deutsche Welle website. Their Nicos Weg is good, but I find it very demanding to listen to normally spoken German conversation, instead of a newsreader’s clear articulation!
I really liked the story books by Angelika Bohn - they are at all levels from A1 up to B2, and you can get audio of her reading them too. I wrote a fan letter to her and one thing led to another and now I am having more-or-less weekly Tandem chats via Skype with a friend of hers, an absolutely delightful German woman.
I’ve tried italki, and some teachers were more suited to me than others. Currently I’m reading fantasy books in German on my Kindle, because then I can quickly get a translation of all the many words and sentences that I don’t understand.
I think I made the most progress with the face to face group, but I’m very covid vulnerable so I’m not sure when or if I can pick that up again.
Ich habe Deutschland auch noch nicht besucht, weil mein Ehemann glaubt dass es zu kalt ist, was ich lustig finde. Im Winter, ja, aber jetzt ist es heiss. Wir haben Verwandten ins Deutschland seit fast zwei Jahren und wir haben sie versprochen, dass wir (hoefflich) dieses Jahr besuchen werden.

Sorry for late response – Mlem has no notifications to my knowledge atm – I’ve noticed that as well. It’s good for getting my exposure to the language up.
