I’m in Ohio and my German is meh but I can understand 65%ish of what I see. It helps I lived in Duesseldorf for a year, but that was over 35 years ago so it doesn’t help enough.

I’ve deleted memrise and am strictly learning German through these memes, I’m confident I’ll be fluent by the end of the year.
The only true way to learn languages is pull up yomitan and anki. The most powerful language tools man has to offer

Fediverse mods have announced an agreement to adopt English as the preferred language for communications, rather than German, which was another possibility.
As part of the negotiations, mods at lemmy.world conceded that English spelling has some room for improvement and have accepted a five-year phase-in plan. In the first year, “s” will be used instead of the soft “c”. Also, the hard “c” will be replased with “k”. Not only will this klear up konfusion, but komputers will need one less letter.
There will be growing kommunity enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replased by “f”. This will make words like “fotograf” 20 persent shorter.
In the third year, akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reash the stage where more komplikated shanges are possible.
Mods will enkourage the removal of double letters, whish have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horible mes of silent “e”'s in the languag is disgrasful, and they would go.
By the fourth year, peopl wil be reseptiv to steps sush as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” by “v”.
During ze fifz year, ze unesesary “o” kan be droped from vords kontaining “o”, and similar shanges vud of kors be aplid to ozer kombinations of leters.
After zis fifz yer, ve vil hav a reli sensibl riten styl. Zer vil be no mor trubls or difikultis, and employes vil find it ezi to kommunikat viz eash ozer.
Ov kors al supliers vil be expekted to us zis for all busines komunikation via DaimlerKhrysler.
Ze drem vil finali kum tru.
Zis is ekselent vork. I kan se zis adopshon vil be ezi and fun. Ve vil rekwir zat al users vil hav fun.
Nonsens. Fun vil b limited to 2 haurs per dai, zis vil kip produktiviti hi.
Yur english is barely readabl. Yu hav so many speling erors, ze bigest might be vriting rekvir vity tvo ‘v’.
Zat isn’t quit enugh to fix english. “Gh” kuld be replased wiz ‘f’ vher it vuld mak sens and ze same viz ‘x’ to “ks” & ‘y’ to ‘j’. Vhile duble leters as used nov shuld be simplifid, I think it kuld be useful to mark long vovels by using tvo of the same letter. Vhile zis vuld help a lot, ze most important shange I’l sugest is to use vovels that reflect ze pronunsiation. Vhen juu vant to vrait “smorgasbord” juu vuld insted vrait ze moor sensibl “smöörgoosbuurd”. Sadli, inglish is a horibl bodg of a languig, meid bai miksing vai too mani diferent languiges, so moor fikses aar veri velkom.

I didn’t expect to find sønderjysk here…
Må innrømme at jeg ikke er kjent med uttrykket. Er det en dansk eufemisme for tysk?
synnejysk eller sønderjysk (syd-jysk), er en dialekt fra det sydlige Jylland der kan være en smule svært at forstå for os der tale rigsdansk, men til gengæld kan folk fra områderne syd for grænsen, både Tyskland og Holland også godt forstå det en smule. Det er altid sjovt at se fællesnævnerne for sprog når det krydser grænser på den måde.
This whole thread is glorious. (Also did your autocorrect put up a fight or did it completely give up trying. I’d love it if this is how we fight AI in the future.)

The odds? It’s not a random chance event; people can just start learning German whenever they’d like to, if they want to!
It’s frustrating because I don’t know German. I still click the links every time.
Und das ist gut so!

Are you saying the CCC as an organisation has been targeting you as an individual by publicly defaming you?
I find that very hard to believe.
I am sorry to hear that. Do you mean the chaos computer club with CCC? In my experience the CCC is incredible accepting and welcoming for everyone no matter who. I hope you give them another chance, they do important work.
Every now and then I just save the German memes and send them to my English group chats to make sure they’re confused too.
Right? I think they’re underestimating the comedic value of dropping a half understood meme in an American group chat.
Now they’re even English memes are telling me to

Edit: I used AI to make this. I’m not proud, but I am lazy.
That moment you finally understand German and realise all the Stör and Tisch memes are just simple word plays.
stört es dich?
Nein, so störrisch bin ich nicht.
Spanish isn’t prevalent on Lemmy but there’s more of it on Mastodon.
I’ve been learning Spanish on a translator app (that I won’t mention the name of because they’ve been promoting AI) and I am so hype I’m able to read the majority of posts now!
Reading is different than writing or speaking though and I need to force myself to practice 😅
