Linguistics, German, and the like

I am a 21 year old Canadian woman studying German and Linguistics who loves summer, wasting time on Netflix, and long runs.

Liberal gov't launches 1st phase of missing, murdered women inquiry

Calls for a national inquiry have been growing since a 2014 RCMP review found that 1,181 indigenous women had been murdered or gone missing since 1980 -- 164 missing and 1,017 homicide victims.

The Liberal government is launching the first phase of a national inquiry into missing and murdered aboriginal women, the justice minister said Tuesday.

Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould made the announcement Tuesday afternoon during a news conference in Ottawa. She said the first phase will include consultations with affected families in the national capital region to hear their input on the design and goals of the inquiry.

Over the next two months, the government will also hear from other families across the country, aboriginal community organizations and frontline workers to seek their input, she said.

Minister of Indigenous and Northern Affairs Carolyn Bennett said the initial phase is a “design phase,” and will lead to the second phase, which will be the actual inquiry itself. She added that she hopes the inquiry will begin next spring.

As the inquiry advances, Canadians will be also be able to follow its progress, and engage in the discussion on a website and via social media, she said.

Bennett said the government is committed to creating the best possible design for the inquiry, and eventually finding “concrete action” that will stop “this national tragedy.”

“We will get this right for the spirits and the memory of those we have lost,” she said, as she wrapped up her remarks.

Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said the inquiry is a “top priority” of the Liberal government.

“We have made this inquiry a priority for our government because those touched by this national tragedy have waited long enough,” he said during a meeting of aboriginal chiefs and leaders. “The victims deserve justice; their families an opportunity to heal and to be heard.”

What's the best way to learn German grammatical genders? I'm tired of reading 'you have to memorise them, there is no logic'. There must be tricks and tips to learn them - I suppose. Can you help me?

There are in fact ways of telling what grammatical gender a noun has!These don’t cover all nouns, however learning these patterns should make it a lot easier for you to guess what gender a noun should take…
