I second Duolingo and Drops for mostly vocabulary learning, and then I’d supplement with a textbook for grammar and a more structured learning experience. I keep seeing the everything learning german book recommended, but really, just choose whatever looks reasonable and go through it doing all the exercises
Edamame dabei ist ne gute Idee. Mein go-to sind Zwiebeln, Paprika, und Zucchini. Immer ein gutes Essen :)
Going from your sidebar, how about art gallery?
Der Sinn hinter vielen dieser Sachen, vor allem dem Binnen-I, von dem Rest weiß ich’s nicht so genau, ist doch gerade Texte und Reden kürzer zu machen, aber trotzdem explizit alle mitzumeinen. Alles auszuschreiben ist noch deutlich lästiger, auch fürs lesen. Würde aber den Leuten oben im Thread zustimmen, dass man lieber Gendern2.0 sollte, wo auch für die männliche Form eine Genderendung drangehängt wird und die Grundform dann neutral ist. Dann haben wirs alle einfacher und trotzdem wird niemand diskriminiert
That’s a very good point of course - brain drain is a problem and we shouldn’t encourage it. I suppose I’d rather propose encouraging countries to offer refugees good educations. I am explicitly talking about jobs that require training and come with an expectation of a good life - I agree that the jobs in agriculture and slaughterhouses and such are inhumane.
I don’t think we should tell people not to have children. I just think that we should stop telling them that putting more humans on this world is the moral option or their duty. I think we should at least encourage people thinking of having kids to consider the consequences that has, and then leave the choice to them.
Sure, but how likely is that? Shouldn’t we start on filling the planet up to that limit only once we have a better system, not now?
We could also stabilise pension systems by allowing in immigrants to work the jobs that aren’t getting done tight now. Skilled craftspeople are needed, and if they help us with pensions and get a better life for their families out of it, even better, right?
Was bringt dir dein Lehrer denn bei? Reelle Quantenmechanik hab ich noch nie gesehen
I’d read this with commas around ‘like’, rather than with a period after it: “… how birds look, like, I’m afraid” works as a sentence while “… how birds look like. I’m afraid” is both wrong, like you point out, but also sounds much more serious than the jokey tone I’d expect from a message without punctuation and capitalization
