komodo i would recommend u take a beginners course in german, it is very, very, good. alot of the grammar and stuff is really heard to learn by yourself (its even hard to learn with a crap teacher, u best hope u luck out) =).

ya, goethe is all over the world, i went to the goethe institute in sthlm and they were very nice there. havent looked up what courses there are to take, but just the environment is very freindly if you wanna get into german.

Doch, jetzt bin ich zurück! Diese Semester ist das Tempo wirklich schnell. Lätzte Semester hatte ich 3 Stunden pro Woche, aber zB. nur gestern hatten wir drei Stunden! Ich fahrte zur Schule um 8 Uhr, und kam zu Hause zuerst um 5... Helft mir!

Ok, ich will meine Fragen und Gedanken hier posten, und hoffentlich könnt ihr meine Fragen antworten. Btw, ich soll deutsch so viel ich kann hier schreiben, weil wir jetzt kein Swedisch mehr in der Uni sprechen.

DANKE! Dieses thread bin für mich sehr wichtig und nett gewesen. Vielen dank!

Viel Glück. Ich weiß nicht, ob es Dir hilft, wenn ich Deinen Text korrigiere, aber ich mach 's einfach mal.

Doch jetzt bin ich zurück! Diese Semester ist das Tempo wirklich hoch. Letztes Semester hatte ich drei Stunden pro Woche, aber nur[besser: allein] gestern hatten wir z.B. schon drei Stunden! Ich fuhr um 8 Uhr zur Schule und kam erst um 5 nach Hause.

Ok, ich will meine Fragen und Gedanken hier posten und hoffentlich könnt ihr meine Fragen beantworten. Btw, ich sollte hier so viel Deutsch schreiben wie ich kann, weil wir jetzt kein Schwedisch mehr in der Uni sprechen.

DANKE! Dieser thread ist für mich sehr wichtig und nett gewesen. Vielen Dank!

small things actually, like
Semester = das Semester -> Dieses. Letztes Semester.
z.B. second sentence you should add "schon" = already like hatten wir schon 3 stunden.
fuhr = past tense of fahren, not farhte :D
nach Hause = go home, zu Hause = stay home.
zuerst = first.
Hilf mir.
so viel wie möglich schreiben kann (note the verb is at the end of the sentence)
the last sentence should have another hilfsverb like dürfen "coz we are not allowed to speak swedish in the uni anymore" or kann for "can". On second thought, it actually sounds fine

I marked bold = wrong, italic = should change or I'm not really sure, it sounds weird

Disclaimer: I'm a foreinger, learnt German and lived in Ger for 1 year so far. Also, currently studying Computer Science 1st year :D I have something with learning language as English also is not my mothertongue :D So I tend to look into small errors that can make minus points in tests :-) Hopefully it helps you.

Also a tip in learning German: Speaking and Writing are totally different. After ~7 months of learning German I was equipped with enough stuff about the grammar, vocabs, etc. I was in B2 level. But I could only speak short sentences like 5 words, I virtually couldn't use Nebensatz (sentence with verbs at the end). But after 1 semester in the Uni, was forced using German every single freaking day from breaking dawn to midnight. Now I can confidently go to any Germans and ask about things I need.
not really a tip, but more like a comment on leaning language

Edit: just noticed this: "Und habt ihr Fragen für mich, bitte fragen Sie mich dann =)"
ihr = duzen (used with friends, you should already know)
Sie = (formal use)
ihr and Sie in the same sentence sounds totally weird.
Also, I have a website for you: http://dict.cc I use that everyday :-)

Hey Mr Scheng,

I'll teach you German (my German is accent-free and as close to perfect as it gets, I understand grammar very well - more due to Latin lessons than due to German lessons, to be honest - and I consider teaching it after university) if you teach me a little Swedish

It's a bit offtopic but here's a fun little question.

Which one is the correct way to say it:
"Wir waren im Sommer diesen Jahres im Urlaub."
or
"Wir waren im Sommer dieses Jahres im Urlaub."?

Don't google. If you're correct you'll get 100 internets and you're better than most germans :D Everyone else is free to answer as well btw, but that should be clear lol

about to post the answer but this guy knows shit LOL Not many Germans that I met have a great knowledge about the grammar, they just use words in sentence like that.

There actually are rules that when you add -es, not -s in Genetiv. Also, if you ask dieses Jahrs or Jahres would be way harder. After getting through A2.2 or early B1, you'll find possesivpronomen pretty easy deals. :-) My level now is at late B2 or early C1, not really sure. After I was done in B2.1 I didn't take course anymore, but my German improved greatly in the time though.

His question is way harder for Germans because they are the once who do it wrong.

"diesen Jahres" is obviously wrong, but it's more commonly used that the right Version.
However, you'd never hear "dieses Jahrs", that just doesn't work.

I'm sorry but I really can't figure out what you want to say here. No troll. ><

Anyway, I'm glad the first one to answer was a german(or lives in Germany.) Gives me hope :D
I'm not lying when I say that I barely get a 50% quote with this question...

When I was in the phase of "learning German intensively" (not anymore), and whenever I have some hard questions about grammar, I ask my german friends, they either know the answer but couldn't explain why or couldn't even say the answer. It was like 2 out of 20 knew grammar or something like that :D

I would say "dieses" because you can also say "Ich war im Sommer des Jahres 2011 im Urlaub" but now "Ich war im Sommer den Jahres 2011 im Urlaub"

That might be a misunderstanding.

"Duzen" is just a verb describing the act oft saying "Du/Dein/Deine etc." instead of the formal "Ihr/Ihre".

Another fun little question is: Why do Germans say nach Hause when the singular form of the house is das Haus, and its plural is die Häuser?

"Nach" is for places like countries, cities or other things like that. "Hause" is not "house", but rather "home"(nach Hause = homewards). "Zu" is used for things with definitice articles and persons, and "Hause" doesn't fulfill both requirements

"nach" basically is "to",

From what I learned, people use "zu" when there's a purpose when they're going there. For example, zur Schule (go to school, to study), zur Arbeit gehen (to work, obviously).
There is also "in", "an", "auf", "unter",... (+ Akkusativ), like in die Disco. When you go inside something, you use "in". Propositions are used with akkusativ with the same normal meanings.

and Hause = home, Haus = house.
