Hey , wie geht’s dir ? Ich schreibe manchmal auf Deutsch Texte und brauche einen Korrektur dafür . Kannst du mir helfen , wenn ich einen Text schreibe .

Hey, mir geht’s ein bisschen besser heute. Jedoch habe ich noch immer Angst wegen des Erdbebens. Und wie geht es dir? 

Was die Korrektur betrifft, ich würde dir gerne helfen. :) Soll ich jetzt anfangen?Deine Nachricht ist mehr oder weniger gut, aber hier sind deine Fehler:

[corr:] Texte auf Deutsch[explanation:] Das ist ein (1) Satzglied (=ein Akkusativobjekt) und “auf Deutsch” ist das präpositionale Attribut, das nach seinem Bezugswort (“Text”) steht. 

[corr:] eine Korrektur[explanation:] Du hast den richtigen Kasus gebraucht, aber nicht das richtige Genus. Korrektur ist weiblich, also ’die’.

Danke  für deine Frage! :)

I haven’t updated a lot of personal posts lately but man am I really feeling that Intermediate Plateau. 

I thought I would share the novel I’m reading in my Contemporary German Lit and Film class: Die verlorene Ehre der Katharina Blum by Heinrich Böll. I like Böll a lot in general but this novel is....jeepers its tough. It hops from one point to another and sort of runs together like a stream of thoughts, so you have to really pay attention to everything to understand what’s going on. 

I’m not sure if this book would be classified as B2 level or closer to C1 but the vocabulary is more varied and advanced than anything I’ve been assigned so far, or read by myself. But my personal reading choices have been young adult novels, until this semester. 

We also read a couple of plays which were really good, but also really fucking difficult but I read them and understood them enough to write analytical papers on both of them! (The first one was Draußen vor der Tür and the second was der Besuch der alten Dame) 

In my Survey of German Lit class, we’re reading a little about Kant and Lessing, so there’s been bits and pieces of philosophy readings (nothing more than paragraphs but eek...)

I’ve written 2 German papers, taken one German midterm, given one German presentation and written 4 German poems. And there’s still lots more to come. 

I legit have nightmares about never getting to C1 level when I graduate in 14 months.

In a way, I was safe writing

One of the reasons I like German so much is that its grammar is like math to me which begs the question: why didn’t I major in math instead and actually have a chance at getting a good job
