It shows you how to start german and how to practice to make best of it

You may have heard from many that german is a very hard language but let me tell you that all the languages are really hard in details. German may be hard at first but when you learn it to the middle it's much easier to continue. I should add that you don't need to learn that much of grammer if you spend more time. Actually there are two ways of learning a foreign language:

1) you study with grammer and rules: you need less time for practicing (in comparison with the second one) but more thinking esp. When you want to speak. If you learn a language in this you will learn easier and faster but the result will be nothing like a native speaker. This is the way many people start foreign languages with in school.

2) you just repead what native speakers say: this is what every children do in the first few years of their life. They listen to what others say and try to repead it. It takes a lot of time and drill but it worth it because they will be able to speak in that language for the rest of their lifes. Although there are some differences between the way a child learns a language and the way an adult does but you can use the second way too.

I dont want to lie. It is not easy to start with a new language but if you start in a good way you can be sure that you will speak in that language after a year (in the worst condition). but what is the best way of practicing. It's simple in words but hard in act. It's repeating...

You should know how your brain works. It's not just about learning a language, it's about learning everything. Your brain erase everything that seem useless .so what is useless? Whatever is not repeated or used during the time. In order to prevent your brain to erase what you have read you have to use or repeat it. You need a schedule. With a schedule you won't need that much time for reading (something between 15 to 30 min everyday) but is really important is that you should have  separate time to read new thing and also time to review what you have read before so that you don't forget it.

As start with german I will show you how to make a schadule and how to use it. But for now let start german before to get bored with my long preach.

I want to start german with nominative pronouns (nominativ Pronomen)

Look at the table below and read each pronoun once.

nominativ Pronomen

pronunciation

nominative pronouns

Ich

ish

I

du

doo

You (informal singular)

er

air

He

sie

zee

She

es

ess

It

wir

veer

We

ihr

eer

You (informal plural)

Sie

zee

You (frormal)

sie

zee

They

You don't have to memorize all the pronounes in the table and don't worry about the pronunciation. What I want you to do with this table is to have a basic view of what german nominative pronouns can be. What we are going to do from now on is to make schedule and do as it says.

THE FIRST DAY

We start every day with a grammar point. Today we want to start with one one the forms of the verb "sein" (which means to be). For the first person pronoun we use it in the form of "bin" so "ich bin" means I am now we are going to practice what we have read. Repeat every single sentense at least three times:

Ich bin Anna

I am Anna

Ich bin Luka

I am Luka

Ich bin Sophie

I am Sophie

Ich bin Jan

I am Jan

Ich bin Lehrer

I am a teacher

Ich bin Student

I am a student

Ich bin Arbeiter

I am a worker

Here we had three new words. This is what we are going to have everyday and I think three new words is enough for a day so let review the new words:

Lehrer     teacher

Student      student

Arbeiter     worker

That is enough for today. Have a good day...
