    If you don't have the Umlaut, you can write the words like that:
    länger => laenger (with an 'e')

    It is a kind of substitute Umlaut

    not even I know this word (and my motherlanquage is german)

    lol

    to learn german you should use easier words

    aber:
    Hut ab nicht schlecht


    und zu deiner letzten Aussage:

    darüber kann man zwar streiten aber du wolltest vermutlich sagen:

    "Spanien ist das hässlichste Land der Welt"

    this I can't say because I've never been there

    thanks a lot Xilina. I've come across some BIG german words and was shocked. so far it's been pretty easy but then with words like Provokationsmöglichkeit, yeah. I also noticed that you said motherlanguage as one word is it because muttersprache is one word in german

    Hey.

    Words like Provokationsmöglichkeit shouldn't cause you any trouble because they're just 2 nouns that are made into one word. I forgot how it's called, it's some fancy word

    If you look at Provokation and Möglichkeit separately I think it's not so hard anymore

    @sohuda: it means that it's somebody's turn to do something - for example: Tobias ist dran - It's Tobia's turn. And this can also be used as a threat - Dann bist du dran! meaning that the person in question will most likely soon be beaten up It really depends on the sentence this is used in

    Hallo!
    I'm studying German at school and I love it so much as well as Germany. Unfortunately it's my second language and I don't speak it well, I only understand. that's why I'm ashamed to talk more in German here
    I have a question about the future tense cause we have a very important German test next week.It's: is there any difference if I say "Nachstes Jahr wird Anabel ein Praktikum machen" and"Nachstes Jahr macht Anabel ein Praktikum"? I remained under the umpression that it's the same but well here I have a possibilty to ask so why don't use it
    * I'm sorry I haven't German phonetic now

    Hi tedinkyyy, your questions are welcome here - either in German or English, that does not matter . Both your sentences are right and mean the same thing. The first one is what we call "Futur I", but you can also express a matter that is to happen in the future by using the present tense and words like "morgen", "nächste Woche", "nächstes Jahr" - that's even what Germans use most of the time when they want to express something about future events.

    Danke, Steena
    I thought the same but I wanted to be sure.
    And "wird" when meant as the so-called"absicht" could be replaced with "will"?

    Yes that's possible. Wollen (want) most of the time expresses an event in the future when used in present tense.
