    Aber manchmal sagt man „sch“ am Anfang eines „s“-Wortes. Wann wird es wie ein englisches „z“ vs. „sh“ gesagt? Ich lerne jetzt Deutsch und es ist nicht einfach fur mich weiss wann sage ich eins oder andere. Wann ich an ein neues Wort mit einem „s“ am Anfang lese, denke ich immer: „Sage ich das wie ‚z‘ oder ‚sch‘? Ich weiß es nicht.“ Zum Beispiel, sagt man "Sonne" mit einem Z-Geräusch, aber "spät" mit einem Sch-Geräusch. Gibt es eine Regel?

    I am a big believer in active learning. The more we are focused and active during the learning, the more we can learn. But a lot of times I feel like 10’ isn’t enough to facilitate such learning. To be exact, i don’t feel like I could learn a lot from these 10’-15’ or if I did learn, the progress seems very slow and subtle. Do you have any recommendations on how to make use of these tiny chunks of time during the day and feel proud that we actually make some progress out of these sessions? I think if I could feel motivated that I have actually done something worthwhile out of these 10-15’ of learning, I may want to repeat it and be consistent.

    • @learngermanwithstories
      @learngermanwithstories Месяц назад

      I would ask myself what exactly you mean by "active learning" and then check whether you can't apply your learning style even to 10 minutes. Be careful that a preference doesn't become an excuse not to do anything, like e.g. "I only learn with method X, but for this I need more time than 10 minutes, but I don't have 10 minutes, so I can't learn at all".

  • @frmcf
    @frmcf 4 месяца назад

    Actually most English speakers *do* have the 'ch' sound of 'mich' and 'sprechen'! It's the first sound of words like 'huge' or 'hue'. This is almost universal in British and Australian varieties of English, and quite common in North American speakers as well. The IPA character is [ç]. It's still difficult for English speakers to control in German though, because it's usually only at the beginning words for us. The 'ch' sound of 'machen' or 'doch' isn't found in many dialects of English. Only in Scottish English, as far as I know, and only in place names and loanwords from Scots or Gaelic, like 'loch' or 'machair'.

    • @learngermanwithstories
      @learngermanwithstories Месяц назад

      Thanks. Usually letters are not pronounced in a different way just because of the position in the word. An exception are soft consonants that get hard at the end of a word, like G turning to K, D turning to T etc.

    Not a bad video but instead of "Mir ist gut" say "Mir geht es gut". As a German tutor living in Germany my whole life I never heard of the first version. Maybe it's a regional variant but I'm pretty sure it's not Standard German.

    • @learngermanwithstories
      @learngermanwithstories 5 месяцев назад

      Good point. "Mir ist gut" is much rarer, and it has a different meaning. It's the exact opposite of "mir ist schlecht". Like e.g. someone asking you "Ist dir schlecht?" I'd reply "Nein, mir ist gut". If I say "es geht mir gut", then it's much more general, like I'm happy with my life, I'm healthy, not too stressed at work etc. There may well be a lot of regional variation with this as well. But anyway, I use it, and I'm a native speaker, so I guess students should be allowed to use it as well.
