I can feel it 🤡
i want to speak german.
i would call a phone "das Handy" and use eszett and umlauts. i would stay up all night reading Hegel with my Freund*innen. i'll raise finite verbs to second position in matrix clauses. i would conjugate unergative verbs in the impersonal passive every day. i am also more likely to hear front rounded vowels and labial affricates.
i wish i spoke german :(

tips for studying new vocab
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! I’m back with another post relating to studying, but keep in mind that these tips are not one-size-fit-all, so please feel free to implement if you think it will be helpful for you! I personally don’t like forcing myself chunks of words, so I think that learning through music and any activities you like such as watching movies actively would also be really fun!
Please share below if you have any helpful tips too! 💚🎉🤩
