Bella Should Know That




My pupil Kevin (not the real name) was just on the way home as I already arrived in his house. He played football with his friends before. A few minutes later Kevin was home. There was still time for him to shower before the course started. 😊

Kevin was ready for the course, however he asked his house maid to get fried vermicelli for both of us. Wow, the Master of Nanotechnology from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, USA invited me to have lunch. It was so nice of you, Kevin. Thank you very much. 😊

Now, time for learning. The topic was time. Kevin should read this dialogue:

Friend: Hallo, Anja! Gehen wir zusammen ins Kino?
Anja: Ja, gern, wann denn?

Friend: Morgen Abend?
Anja:
(Possibility 1) Ja, das geht.
(Possibility 2) Nein, das geht nicht. Morgen kann ich nicht.

For possibility 2 there should be continued:
Friend: Und am Freitag?
Anja: Freitag ist gut.

Finish with all possibilities, the dialogue continues:
Friend: Um wie viel Uhr treffen wir uns?
Anja: Um sieben?
Friend: Okay, tschüss bis dann!

Bella Swan & Edward Cullen - Twilight
Then Kevin should try to practice this dialogue and change the days and time: morgen, morgen Abend, Freitag, um sieben. Because this is a private course I must take the role as the dialogue partner. I suggested him to use other names, so that it would be more relaxing. Since I just saw one of the film series of “Twilight Saga” a few days before, then I proposed the names of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan. Kevin agreed. 😊 He was Edward and I was Bella. 😊

After several times practicing Kevin should try also to change the place. So: ”ins Kino” should be replaced with some options which are already given in the course book. Kevin was free to choose: in den Park, in die Oper, ins Konzert, in die Disko, etc.. This kind of practice is good to improve the pronunciation and conversation.

Not only reading and changing the conversation, Kevin should also try to prepare a small dialogue about time, like daily schedule, time arrangement and appointment making. There are some interesting topics given.

Finish with the dialogue Kevin should try to practice it. And again I must take the role as the dialogue partner. Kevin chose again the names of Edward and Bella. 😊

It was Bella’s turn to speak: “Wann stehst du morgens auf? (What time do you wake up in the morning?)”
Kevin smiled and gave a different answer instead: “Bella should know what time Edward wakes up” 😉

Oh, oh. Kevin, you just teased your teacher. 😉

Es Kommt Ein Sturm





Diesen Dialog finde ich in einem Kursbuch:
Person A: Ich glaube, es kommt ein Sturm.
Person B: Ach, das glaube ich nicht. Es bleibt schön.

Das ist nur ein Bild, hat nichts zu tun mit dem Thema des Kapitels. Deswegen gibt es keine weiteren Erklaerungen. Im Bild unterhalten sich 2 Leute wie es oben im Dialog steht.

 Der Satz “Es kommt ein Sturm” ist interessant. Das ist nicht klar, was das Subjekt ist: es oder ein Sturm. Beide sind möglich. Aber einige Fragen kommen danach.

Wenn “es” das Subjekt ist, dann müsste “ein Sturm” im Akkusativ sein, oder? Dann sollte der Satz lauten: Es kommt einen Sturm. Das Nomen “Sturm” ist Maskulinum.

Wenn “ein Sturm” das Subjekt ist, warum braucht man “es”? Man kann doch gleich den Satz “Ein Sturm kommt” bilden, oder?

Es gibt das Wetterwort es. Aber, solange ich weiss, ist das Wetterwort “es” immer im Nominativ: es schneit, es regnet, es ist kalt, es ist bewölkt, es ist sonnig, es ist heiss, es ist windig.

Ich fasse zusammen, dass das Subjekt “ein Sturm” ist. Dann fragte ich meine Freunde in Deutschland (ich halte alle einfach für Freunde), warum lautet der Satz “Es kommt ein Sturm”, nicht “Ein Sturm kommt” ?


Meine Freunde in Deutschland kommentieren:


Marita in Hanstedt
Oh, oh, du fragst Sachen, über die ich mir nie Gedanken gemacht habe.
Beides geht ! Wir Deutschen sagen es so oder so, wie es uns grade in den Kram passt.
Die Wenigsten von uns haben Deutsch studiert. :) :)

Ich kann dir da leider nicht wirklich helfen. Es geht einfach beides. 

Sepertinya Akan Ada Badai




Dialog ini saya temukan di sebuah buku kursus:
Orang A: Ich glaube, es kommt ein Sturm. (Menurut saya akan ada badai)
Orang B: Ach, das glaube ich nicht. Es bleibt schön. (Ah, saya rasa tidak. Cuaca tetap bagus)

Dialog ini terdapat dalam sebuah gambar, tidak ada hubungan dengan tema yang dibahas dalam bab buku itu. Oleh karena itu tidak ada penjelasan lebih lanjut. Di gambar itu terdapat percakapan antara 2 orang seperti tertera di atas.

Kalimat “Es kommt ein Sturm” ini menarik. Tidak jelas yang mana subyek kalimat itu: es atau ein Sturm. Keduanya mungkin. Tetapi konsekuensinya muncul banyak pertanyaan.

Jika subyeknya “es” , maka haruslah “ein Sturm” dalam Akkusativ; benar, kan? Maka haruslah kalimatnya berbunyi” Es kommt einen Sturm. Kata benda “Sturm” berjenis maskulin.

Jika subyeknya “ein Sturm”, mengapa harus ada “es” lagi? Tentunya bisa langsung dibuat kalimat “Ein Sturm kommt”; benar, kan?

Kata ganti “es” memang dipakai khusus untuk menggambarkan cuaca. Tetapi, sepengetahuan saya, kata ganti es khusus cuaca ini selalu dalam kasus Nominativ: es schneit (sedang turun salju), es regnet (sedang hujan), es ist kalt (cuaca dingin), es ist bewölkt (cuaca berawan), es ist sonnig (cuaca cerah), es ist heiss (cuaca panas), es ist windig (cuaca berangin).

Saya menyimpulkan bahwa subyeknya adalah ein Sturm, lalu saya bertanya pada teman-teman saya di Jerman (saya menganggap mereka semua teman), mengapa “Es kommt ein Sturm”, bukan “Ein Sturm kommt” ?

Teman-teman saya di Jerman memberi komentar:


Marita di Hanstedt

Oh, oh, kamu menanyakan hal-hal yang tidak pernah saya kuatirkan.
Keduanya bisa! Kami orang Jerman bilang begini atau begitu, seperti apa yang sedang terpikir saja oleh kami.
Sangat sedikit dari kami yang kuliah Bahasa Jerman. :) :)

Sayangnya saya benar-benar tidak bisa menolongmu. Yang jelas keduanya bisa saja.

Storm Might Come





I find this dialogue in a course book:
Person A: Ich glaube, es kommt ein Sturm. (I think that storm might come)
Person B: Ach, das glaube ich nicht. Es bleibt schön. (Oh, I don’t think so, it remains fine)

It is only a picture, has nothing to do with the theme of the chapter, therefore there is no further explanation. In that picture 2 people have a conversation like above mentioned.

The sentence “Es kommt ein Sturm” is interesting. It is not clear, what the subject is: es or ein Sturm. Both are possible. But some questions will arise after that.

If “es” is the subject, then “ein Sturm” should be in Akkusativ, shouldn’t it? The sentence should be like this: Es kommt einen Sturm. The noun “Sturm” is masculine.

If “ein Sturm” is the subject, why is “es” still there? People can of course immediately build the sentence “Ein Sturm kommt” , can’t they?

There is pronoun “es”, which is special for wheater. But as far as I know this pronoun “es” is always in Nominativ: es schneit, es regnet, es ist kalt, es ist bewölkt, es ist sonnig, es ist heiss, es ist windig.

I conclude that the subject is “ein Sturm”. Then I asked my friends in Germany (I just consider them as friends), why the sentence is built so “Es kommt ein Sturm”, not “Ein Sturm kommt” ?


My friends in Germany comment:


Marita in Hanstedt
Oh, oh, you asked things, about which I never worried.
Both are possible ! We Germans say it so or so, just like we are thinking.
Least number of us has studied German. :) :)

Unfortunately I really cannot help you. Both are just possible.

Coburg, A Town in Germany


That photo stands on the small table on the corner. I and Nicole are in front of the plane. We have flown by that plane from 14:00 - 14:30 on 29th May 2004 over Coburg and around. The flight price was 25 Euro / person / flight. The plane was not Boeing neither Airbus. ;-) Just a small plane which can only load for maximal 4 persons. We were just 3 persons including the nice pilot, who finally took our picture. :-)

I sat in the front beside the pilot. As we flew over Rauenstein we could see the house of Nicole's parent, where in the yard the ducks were walking and the rabbits were playing.

Initially we wanted to visit the castle. We were already near the castle. But we changed our mind, because we saw this flight recreation. :-)

Well, Coburg is a town*. But, there are things, which are possibly not available in every town, even in every city*. (* The German word Stadt can mean town and city in English. According to the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary (Singapore: Cambridge University Press, 2008) city means a large town.) This flight recreation, which can give fun to everybody. The Asian shop, where we could buy some Indonesian foodstuff and we could cook Indonesian culinary at home. Asian shops are rare. Some years ago I and Marita must go to Winsen first to find an Asian shop, while Marita lived in Salzhausen.

In the evening there was fun in the pub thanks to a concert. In Coburg I saw a luxurious building, where the company Kaeser supposed to be there. I wondered, whether this company is the headquarter of the company Kaeser, which I also found in Jakarta. I have been in Coburg from 27th - 30th May 2004 and found that the town is silent, lonely and clean.

That was a short story from the town Coburg. :-)

Recently I read a text as I prepared the lesson. From that text I found the word Kleinstadt. Then I thought immediately, what the difference is between eine kleine Stadt (klein, which means small, here is an adjective) and eine Kleinstadt (klein is not an adjective anymore, but bound with the word Stadt makes a noun). Is Coburg eine kleine Stadt or eine Kleinstadt? When can I use the term "eine kleine Stadt" and when must I use "eine Kleinstadt"? I immediately asked my friends. I just consider all friends.:-)

Heike in Duesseldorf:
So, now the question: the term Kleinstadt refers to the number of citizens from minimum 5000 until maximum 20.000 persons. Eine kleine Stadt describes the expansion of flat which can be measured / the width of a town. You could also use the term "Dorf" (= village) or just say: das ist eine kleine Stadt. Difficult, but I cannot explain in other way! You can say both!
Marita in Hanstedt:
My sweetie,  you are so smart and have studied a lot. ... Eine kleine Stadt is also always eine Kleinstadt. But, eine grosse Stadt is not always eine Grossstadt. Grossstadt ist a term, which is determined for cities, starting a certain number of citizens. I hope it helps you.
Sabine in Muenchen:
To your question: "Coburg is eine kleine Stadt or eine Kleinstadt?" - You can say both. "Kleinstadt" possibly refers quite stronger to a certain number of citizens and is a form of a term, the antonym of Grossstadt.
(Sabine gave me also the link to wikipedia regarding the term "Kleinstadt". This is the definition according to wikipedia: Kleinstadt is a term for classification of town according to the citizens and function, in general under approx. 20.000, regional, but also with another definition.)
Nicole in Hamburg:
First to your question: Kleinstadt and kleine Stadt are actually the same. In this case Kleinstadt is used more often.
Further, I find your blog very interesting and read it sometimes. It is very interesting to read your language problems or questions and think about them. Since I myself learn Spanish, I can consider many things from them well. A friend from Spain learns German, we correspond also regularly, and he has almost the same questions / problems like you. Funny. :-)
Well, terrific. So, Coburg is eine kleine Stadt and Coburg is also eine Kleinstadt. (As long as its citizens are still under 20.000 persons. ;-) )

I'm Travelling by Abraham's Car


My students and I were in the parking area. We would go home, because the German class was over. My car was beside Abraham's car. While I was getting in the car I heard, what Lukas (not the real name) said as he got in Abraham's car, "Ich fahre bei Abraham." (Lukas meant that he's travelling by Abraham's car) I just smiled.

I've told my students in the class before, that preposition bei has also the meaning, that someone is taken care of by someone else. For example: "Ich lebe bei meinen Eltern." (I live (dependently) in my parents' home.) One says that because one cannot afford financially to live independently, therefore one lives in one's parents' home.

Lukas was very creative. He has come up with an idea to build such sentence. The car doesn't belong to him, it belongs to Abraham. Abraham's driver drove it. But Lukas may travel by Abraham's car and it was nice of Abraham. I was glad that Lukas was very creative. But I was not sure, whether the use of preposition bei in the sentence "Ich fahre bei Abraham" was correct.

The following are the comments from my friends in Germany. I just consider all friends. :-)

Ulli in Hamburg
Lukas would say, that he travels (together) with Abraham by car. But it means: Lukas faehrt bei Abraham mit im Auto. Do you see the different?
(Ulli meant the additional preposition mit should be added so that the sentence means "Lukas is travelling by Abraham's car".)

Mrs Engelhardt in Karlsruhe
Now I will answer your grammatical question. "Ich fahre bei Abraham" cannot be said. The right one is: "Ich fahre mit Abraham", or "Ich fahre bei Abraham mit." Both sentences are possible, the second sentence sounds surely a bit strange to your ears, but it is also possible. Nice, that your student was creative!
Ilona in Bodelshausen
Lukas should had said: "Ich fahre bei Abraham mit." It can be said, if Abraham himself drives or if he has a driver, but "Ich fahre mit Abraham" would mean more nearly that Abraham himself drives.
So, Lukas, it has only missed the prefix "mit" and it is indeed the trennbar verb "mitfahren". Not so terrible. It was really brave, that you just try to build German sentences.;-)

Private German Teacher


My student Aldo (see Alex' Guitar) needed my statement for his enrolment at University of Duisburg Essen, Germany. Then I wrote my job "Privatdeutschlehrerin" (private German teacher) on my letterhead. As long as I understand, it is possible to build a composite in German from more than 2 words. In the German - Indonesian dictionary written by Heuken I just found the composites "Privatlehrerin" (private teacher) and "Deutschlehrerin" (German teacher). The composite for private German teacher was not found.

Sometime later I wanted to know whether the composite "Privatdeutschlehrerin" is usual in Germany. Like always I asked my friends in Germany. I just consider all friends. :-)

The following are the comments:

Ilona in Bodelshausen
Of course I think it top, that you now work as private teacher for German. (Privatlehrerin fuer Deutsch). (The word Privatlehrerin fuer Deutsch is maybe a bit more elegant than "Privatdeutschlehrerin")...
Nicole in Hamburg
Referring to your question: I would write the word "Privatdeutschlehrerin" like this: Privat-Deutschlehrerin, but I think "private Deutschlehrerin" is right. "Privatdeutschlehrerin" sounds uncommonly, therefore I would suggest "private Deutschlehrerin" (private German teacher).
Mr Seemann in Berlin
So, now to give my answer to your question. It is Privatlehrerin fuer Deutsch. ...wish you as Privatlehrerin fuer Deutsch (private teacher for German) a good and successful start and many interested people.

That's so, although it is possible grammatically, but in fact it is not always acknowledged. :-(

I had further discussions with the friends, what about the words "Deutschlehrerin fuer Privatstunde" or "Deutschlehrerin fuer Privatunterricht" are. Following are two answers:

Ilona and Ruprecht in Bodelshausen
Once more to your course: I wish I had suggested "Private Deutschstunden*" (private German class); Ruprecht meant: "Privater Deutschunterricht" (von kompetenter (oder erfahrener) Deutschlehrerin (private German course (of competent (or experienced) German teacher). I think also, that you can freely add "von erfahrener Deutschlehrerin" (of experienced German teacher) - so are you really. "Privatdeutschlehrerin" (private German teacher) and "Deutschlehrerin fuer Privatstunde*" (German teacher for private class) (ambiguous) cannot be used. "Deutschlehrerin fuer Privatunterricht" (German teacher for private course) is still possible, but it sounds not so elegant.
Nicole in Hamburg
Private Deutschlehrerin (private German teacher) is the best terminology. The word privat (as adjective) refers to your job title, which shows that you indeed work privately and not as a government official or an employee. "Deutschlehrerin fuer Privatunterricht" (German teacher for private course) is also possible, but almost wouldn't be used.
Hmm, I see. :-)

(* Stunde in English means hour. Maybe this causes the word Privatstunde can be ambiguous. Privatstunde can mean private hour, which can further mean private meeting.)

I still can remember, how Aldo happily ran up stairs quickly to the 3rd floor (his room is on the 3rd floor). He went for a while to print out my statement, so that I could sign on it. Then he could submit complete documents to University of Duisburg Essen.

That Aldo already studies at the University of Duisburg Essen now, that is the most important thing. :-)

Zwei Orangensaft, Bitte.


Im studio d A1 Deutsch als Fremdsprache Kurs- und Uebungsbuch (Berlin: Cornelsen Verlag, 2006) stehen Saetze in Dialogen, die mich gewundert haben. Da sind Nomen, die Plural haben, aber die bleiben im Singular.

Die Saetze sind unter anderen:
Zwei Orangensaft, bitte.
Also drei Eistee.
Zwei Cola.

Die Zahlen zwei und drei zeigen doch Plural, aber warum bilden die Nomen keinen Plural? Das sollten doch 2 Orangensaefte, 3 Eistees und 2 Colas sein.

Dann habe ich meine Freunde in Deutschland gefragt. (Ich halte alle fuer Freunde :-) ) Ich mochte wissen, was sie dazu sagen.

Frau Engelhardt in Karlsruhe:

Es gibt keine logische Begruendung dafuer, es hat sich so eingebuergert. Es ist nur nicht ueblich, wenn man sagt: "2 Orangensaefte, 3 Eistees, 2 Colas".

Ulli in Hamburg:

Korrekt muss es heissen, wie du es geschrieben hast: 2 Orangensaefte, 3 Eistees, 2 Colas. Im Buch steht offenbar die umgangssprachliche (nicht korrekte) Verwendung. Auch wenn es grammatisch nicht korrekt ist, wird es so tatsaechlich gebraucht. Extrembeispiel ist "4 Currywurst Pommes!" Das ist die Sprache der sehr einfachen Leute. :-)

Na ja, wenn es so einfach ist, sollten die Prueferinnen und die Pruefer des bestimmten Sprachinstituts, das das Recht hat, um ein gueltiges Sprachzertifikat herauszugeben, meinen Schuelerinnen und Schuelern in der Pruefung nicht schuld geben. Jetzt ist es doch egal: Zwei Orangensaft - Zwei Orangensaefte, Drei Eistee - Drei Eistees, Zwei Cola - Zwei Colas.

Nicht, dass meine Schuelerinnen und Schueler die Pruefung nicht bestehen und anschliessend das Sprachzertifikat wegen dieses Falls nicht bekommen wuerden. Es waere nicht gerecht.


Sie haben den 25. Text gelesen.
Bitte lesen Sie den 26. Text: Alex' Gitarre, Alex' s Gitarre oder Alexens Gitarre
Zurueck zum 24. Text: Aha, Diese Woerter Haben Keinen Plural.

Two Orange Juice, Please.


In the book of studio d A1 Deutsch als Fremdsprache Kurs- und Uebungsbuch (Berlin: Cornelsen Verlag, 2006) there are sentences in dialogues, which surprised me. There are nouns which have plural, however they stay singular.

The sentences are for example as follows:
Zwei Orangensaft, bitte.
Also drei Eistee.
Zwei Cola.

The numbers two and three mean plural, but why aren't the nouns in plural? The sentences should be 2 Orangensaefte, 3 Eistees and 2 Colas.

Then I asked my friends in Germany. (I consider all friends :-) ) I wanted to know what they say about this.

Mrs Engelhardt in Karlsruhe:

There is no logical reason for that. It is already naturalised. It is just not common, if people say: "2 Orangensaefte, 3 Eistees, 2 Colas".

Ulli in Hamburg:

It must be correct, what you have written: 2 Orangensaefte, 3 Eistees, 2 Colas. In the book it is clearly the daily usage (which is not correct). Although it is not correct grammatically, in fact it is so spoken. An extreme example is "4 Currywurst Pommes!". It is the language of very simple people. :-)

So, if it is so simple, the examiners of a particular language institute, which has the right to issue a valid language certificate, shouldn't fail my students. It is now not different: Zwei Orangensaft - Zwei Orangensaefte, Drei Eistee - Drei Eistees, Zwei Cola - Zwei Colas.

It wouldn't be good, if my students wouldn't pass the exam and therefore they wouldn't get the language certificate, only because of this case. How unfair it would be.

Do You Know, that ... ?

... It's Roentgen, Not Ronsen?

The young female doctor in Puskesmas Cengkareng (Puskesmas is a state small clinic, which spread out in districts in Indonesia) looked at me strangely as she heard me saying Roentgen with German pronunciation. Then she confirmed, "ronsen!" We just spoke about a result of Roentgen photo. Of course, I didn't have time to "teach" her German at that time, how to pronounce the umlaut o. We, Indonesian, don't know this German sound. But it is strange why "roentgen" is pronounced [ronsen]. Why does [g] become [s]? It is difficult for us to say the umlaut o [oe], but we still can say [g]. Therefore the possible Indonesian pronunciation of "roentgen" would be [ron-gen] or [ronggen], because it is also difficult for us, Indonesian, to pronounce 3 consonants [ntg] respectively.

As I worked in KarstadtQuelle Jakarta, I have once asked my German boss, whether my pronunciation of [roentgen] is right. He confirmed then my right pronunciation [roentgen]. So, it is not [ronsen].

The original German alphabet for this umlaut [oe] is described by "o" with two dots on it. But if such alphabet is not available in your computer, you may describe it by "oe".

Further, if you speak about Prof. Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, the finder of X ray, with a German, she or he wouldn't understand whom you are talking about, if you pronounce his name [ronsen].
(the umlaut o in his name "Roentgen" is originally described by the original German alphabet of umlaut o)

How can you produce this umlaut o? Please say [e], then hold your tongue. With this tongue position then please round your lips and say [o], that will sound [oe], the umlaut o.

Now, you know how to pronounce the following cities in Germany: Koeln, Goettingen, Goeppingen. (all umlauts o of those 3 cities are described by the original German alphabet of umlaut o)


... The Unity of Alphabets e and i Describes Diphthong ai?

A female reverend just mentioned the name of the famous German physicist, Albert Einstein, in her sermon. She pronounced it [einstein] not [ainstain]. After the Sunday service finished, I asked her why she didn't pronounce it rightly. She knew the right pronunciation, because she had taken a German course at Goethe-Institut. She answered that she just didn't want to do that. It is strange. To pronounce [ainstain] is easier than to pronounce [roentgen].

The other reverend was different. This young male reverend likes to learn. As he pronounced the name of the famous German reverend, theologian and martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer, who was against Hitler at that time; he asked me how the right pronunciation is. I told him and he tried to pronounce it rightly.

If you find the alphabet e and i together in German words, the pronunciation should be [ai], because they describe the diphthong ai.

Now, you know how to pronounce the following cities in Germany: Freiburg, Heidelberg, Hildesheim, Mannheim.


... Nouns Have 3 Kinds of Gender?

A Conversation in A German Lesson

Pupil:
What? Nouns have gender? Chair is masculine, flower is feminine, and book is neutral? It is strange. I just heard that nouns have gender.

Teacher:
That is so in German. But, no need to worry. You like the language, you will have fun in learning that. Try to learn 2 nouns of each gender including the plural form, everyday. Then you will be amazed there are so many nouns you have learnt.

Pupil: I don't think I can do that.

Teacher:
Don't say that. Try first what I told you, then we'll see whether you can do that or you can't. Besides, it is an interesting thing you never knew before. I'm sure you will learn it with pleasure, Think of this: you want to study in Germany. Isn't it your dream? Now, open the next page and we will hear a German song.
